Amazing Miners Rescue

I was glued to the TV watching the Chile mining rescue. I can't believe they were stuck down there for 70 days, and that they looked so good when they were brought up. What a great plan they came up with to get the miners in shape, eating right, and ready to come up to the surface. Very coordinated and very scientific. It was very emotional to see every miner brought to the surface.

The Wonderful Pittsburgh Steelers

This guest post from Margaret Mills

Since my husband has lived in Western Pennsylvania his whole life, it is only natural that he is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan. After I married my husband, ten years ago, I quickly became a Steelers fan. We try to go to all the home games, but if we can't we watch the professional football games at home on our satellite TV from expertsatellite.com.
One of the reason that I love going to watch football in Pittsburgh, is because my husband and I always go shopping before the game in downtown Pittsburgh. We go shopping, before the games, in an area close to Hines Field called the strip district. The strip district has everything and anything that you could want to buy. Of course my husband and I love to buy all of our Steelers gear there. When we are there we also buy lots of Steelers gear for all of our friends and family who live out of state.
One of the reason that I like the Pittsburgh Steelers so much is because of the players. A lot of the players are not only great players, but they are also nice people. Many of the Steelers like to give back to the community during their off season. I have seen Steelers raise money for many different charities in the Pittsburgh area. My husband and I try to attend charity events that a Steelers player is sponsoring.http://www.expertsatellite.com/

Money Problems Abound

I got a frantic phone call from a friend roday who lives in D.C. who just lost his job. It was a little bit of bad judgment. He gave up one job for another, and then the second one didn't turn out the way he thought. So they mutually partked ways. But I can hear the panic in his voice. He doesn't have a job, he lives in one of hte most expensive cities in the country, and he has bills to pay. What is he going to do?

I have not lost a job, but I have been in panicky money situations before. Mainly a lot of debt. And you get panicky when you get behind and start getting those phone calls. Those darned phone calls.

What can you do? Well, let's talk first about what you might not want to do. When you are looking for financial help, make sure you know what you are doing. Realize that there are no government debt consolidation programs. Remember that and you will be fine.

There are credit card debt settlement programs, however, They help you negotiate your balance with the credit card companies.

There is legitimate debt help out there. Just make sure you don't panic and take your time to research the different ads and offers. Make sure you can find real help for your situation.

I Want A Nice House!

Maybe with the downfall in home prices, I will be able to buy a nicer house. I really want a house, and I am way behind the curve. Well, not as much behind the curve as some people because I do own my condo, but I need a house.

The  homes in my neighborhood are still too pricey for me. Can't believe it. I don't wish anyone ill, but do wish they could be more affordable. I guess whatever price range you are in, there are still homes that are out of your reach. For example, there are some Paradise Valley Homes for Sale (Paradise Valley in Arizona is where the likes of Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt live). They may be on sale, but are still too pricey for some people, I guess. Including me.

I want to make a bunch of money and then buy a really nice house somewhere--hopefully in my neighborhood!

Looking Young and Fresh

As I mentioned in my last post, everyone wants nice looking skin. The skin around the eyes is particularly
fragile, so you have to work to keep it looking young and fresh. To keep your eyes looking nice, you might want to find the best eye wrinkle cream. If you figure out what that is, let me know!

Everyone Wants Nice Skin

Whether you are a teen or a middle age person, everyone wants nice looking skin. If you are a teen, you want clear skin and might read an acne treatment review to find out about the latest treatments. If you are an older person, you might read about how to keep your skin wrinkle free. Whether you are the former or the latter, nice looking skin is the key to looking good. We all strive for it, and some of us attain it, if we work hard enough. One key is to drink lots of water and exercise. Also use sunscreen--that is key.

Money Trouble

I am one of the ones maybe doing better now than this time last year, or the year before. The reason being I am paying off my debt. And that is good and is putting me in a better position. I am also making a little moneyh practicing law part time and doing some other freelance work on top of my regular job. So things are OK right now.

But it wasn't than long ago, when I was wonder how I could get one of those peronal loans with bad credit; Sometimes you just have to have a little money to tide you over. And you are too embarrassed to ask a friend or family member.

I know there are some online sites where you can get 500 dollar loans. If I wanted to get a $500 Dollar loan or any loan like that, it would be good to get it online for the convenience and privacy it affords.
