Got it at home

Posted by Santi on December 28, 2011 Comments Off

I appreciate the guest post, Kenneth Jefferson

I got a new satellite tv provider madisonwhen I moved here and thank goodness, is all I can say. I don’t know what in the world I would have done without my TV the last few months but you know, I’m just glad I’ve had some relief from how horribly boring it is here. Can you imagine being 28 years old and having to move to such a tiny town for a great job at a terribly small company? I’m still not sure if I made the right decision but I think I did – there’s something to be said for getting your productivity ducks in a row while you’re young and that’s what I’m trying to do now. I spend more time than I should watching TV and playing with the dog but you know, I guess it’s all about whatever gets you through the tough times. There’s something to be said for putting in your dues and that’s what I hope I’m doing right now – I don’t want to have to do this again!

Merry Christmas

The Fixing of Credit

Posted by Santi on December 22, 2011 Comments Off

I got the most pathetic email from one of my nieces begging me to help her get her dream car financed for her. She is currently out of work, lives at home and has serious bad credit issues for someone of her young age. Her folks haven’t got the kind of money that is needed to help put a decent down payment on any type of car, much less this dream car that she has fixated her self on recently. Times are hard, people are losing the jobs, their 401k’s, their homes, not the best of times for looking for family members to help bail you out. We are all feeling the pinch, people are scared and rightfully so, with the economy in the toilet, with no end in sight.

I would rather come to her aid with a plea from her in assisting with “help me fix my credit” issues, that would be an easier request at this point. If she were to try and finance a decent vehicle in these times, I’m sure that she will be stuck with an extremely high interest rate, one that would set her up for failure from day one. She needs to buckle down and get a job and learn how to fix credit reports and earn her dream car the old fashioned way, with a little blood, sweat and tears, instead of dealing with best credit repair service issues at this point.

Cars with bumper stickers

Just read a report that cars that have bumper stickers are much more likely to be involved in road rage incidents. The larger the number of bumper stickers the higher the chance they will be involved. Factor in the color, red cars are much more likely to be involved, add the use of cell phones to the mix and you get road rage times ten. It is almost not safe to go out on the road anymore. Better to stay home and knit than venture out to work.

Northern Virginia Handyman

Posted by Santi on December 21, 2011 Comments Off

After the holidays are all over and done with I am going to have to look for some handyman services in northern virginia in order to get some of the issues taken care of around the place that I just don’t have the time or the tools or the experience to tend to.

If you are a home owner you well know how much time, effort and money it takes to keep the house up and running in so many ways, it just isn’t possible to get it all done on my own so a good quality northern virginia handyman will come in “handy” for most of my needs.

There are a few friends and family members that can and do come over on occasions to lend a hand with some projects but it seems that people are getting busier and busier these days and it isn’t always possible to impose on their time and talents. And now with the holidays and then the cold winter months ahead of us it will be more of a challenge so I’m just going to go ahead and pay a professional and get things moving.
