Tea Party Invades Nashville

Oh oh, the fringe group the Tea Party has invaded Opryland Hotel in Nashville. Sarah Palin is going to deliver the keynote speech in an hour or so. That will be fun to watch. It will be interesting to see what develops. Some people are saying that the Tea Party is an independent party. It is nothing like an independent party. It is just the Republican Party with extra fringe. If anything, it is just going to splinter the republican party even more. And they are saying that democrats will join? How delusional is that?

I Need To Reduce Auto Insurance Costs

My car insurance is way too high. I have bee meaning to get a new auto insurance quote but I keep forgetting. You know, life gets in th way. And then I cringe when my bill is due again. I am sure I could find a much better price. Maybe I could go with the gecko or with the company that keeps talking about their remote. The problem is, I have some insurance products bundled,bt I am sure I could get the other insurance from these other companies as well. I need to save money!

Extended Warranties Have Helped Me Financially

I know Dave Ramsey and other money gurus would argue with me, but I am a firm believer in the extended service plan idea. They would argue that rather than spending your money on that, you should save your money in case you need repairs. Well, that doesn't always happen. I have extended service plans for both my car and my computer, and it gives me such peace of mind. Both have already paid for themselves, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again.

Filing My Important Papers

Part of what I am going to do while being snowed in this weekend is continue sorting through my papers and filing the important ones. Like my deed, my insurance papers, and retirement fund statements. I am so sick of these things piled in my spare room, I really need to take care of it. I have been handling a lot of my insurance papers and realize I need to get a life insurance quote. My life insurance through work is paltry. I need some more insurance and will follow up on this soon.

Need A New TV Soon

I am dying for a new TV. I am one of those people who didn't have to worry about switching over to digital TV, because I had cable TV. In other words, my TV is really old. I just haven't had some extra cash to go get a new one. I have been look at the flat screens, and am not sure what kind of tv stand I would need. I probably would need one, because I don't have a good place on the wall or ceiling to put it.

All Snuggled In For A Weekend Snowstorm

We are supposed to get an ice and snowstorm this weekend, and I have mixed feelings. It will be nice to relax, do needed things around home, and spend time with my animals. But there you have it; you notice I didn't say spend time with my significant other. The only time I really hate being single is at times like these. Many people have fun being snowed in, because they have other people there. I don't. Sometimes it gets lonely.

Drip, Drip, Drip--Allergy Problems Again

My allergies flair up a couple of time a year. I get post nasal drip badly, and it makes me cough. Sometimes it lasts for a couple of months at a time. I found a good allergist a few years back, and I got a couple of good nose sprays that will dry me up. That is good, as I get self conscious when I cough so much. Especially when I am in a play or movie, somewhere you shouldn't be making noise! And when I feel self conscious, the cough gets worse! My prescriptions for my nose sprays have run out, so I need to make an appointment and get some more allergy relief. I don't want to go through another allergy season without it!
