Not one light but two

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

On my truck I have two headlights on each side and last night at work not one headlight burned out but both on one side within ten minutes of each other. I have never had both lights on one side burn out within minutes of each other it was pretty amazing. My string of luck continues with my truck when one thing goes wrong enough things have to be wrong so the guys at the shop can charge me $800 that seems to be the magic total. every time I have to take a vehicle to the shop it costs me $800. I guess they need that much to make a payment or something. The one exception was when I took the truck in for an oil change and an air filter and that cost me almost $100, I have not been back to Firestone and I never will go back there.

New Insurance

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Our small business has decided to get a new insurance carrier for our employees. The one that we are going to use is Kaiser Permanente.

They are the largest non profit heath coverage provider in the country. They serve 9 states and the District of Columbia. They are guided by the needs of their customers not the need to make a profit.

Kaiser Health Insurance is fast, when you submit your group to them to consider for coverage. What I really liked was the fact that they treated our group like it was not like any other group, they took our needs and gave us a very fast free quote to insure our small business. They treat every one like they are important not like we are just numbers to them.

Kaiser Permanente California realizes that no two people or no two companies are alike and they mold your coverage to your individual needs. Not a lot of companies in America treat people like that and I am very pleased to give them our business. You can contact them by phone or by email, and in our fast paced world email is the best option for us and many other people. Check out their web site @ http://www.ekaiserinsurance.com/, go to the site and see if they can structure a health insurance plan to fit your needs.

Student loans

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

As it has been many, many years since I was in college, and I remember that student loans were the main reason I was able to go to college and I really appreciate the fact that student loans were there to help me. Now that my own children are getting ready to start their college experience I am so very glad there is still a great student loan program for them to use when they are ready to start school.

We have started looking for different student loan programs to get a feel for what is available and what we have found amazes me. Credit Loans has a great web site that has so very much information, it was almost overwhelming at first to see that much information on one site.

This fine web site was able to give me answers to all of my questions about student loans and to help my daughter decide which kind of student loan she would need this fall when she goes to college. The lowdown on student loans, was the most helpful section and encouraged me to go ahead and apply for a student loan for myself and to finish my degree that has been hanging for 26 years. I really want to thank this fine program for helping both of us get set up for our student loans and thanks for having such a great web site.

Business Ink

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

In our business we print about 500 sheets a day, some days a bit less some days a bit more. In printing that many pages we use a lot of paper and ink. We had to find a better way to get in cartridges than buying them retail. What I found was InkJetDeals.info they have a wide variety of ink printer cartridges for sale and the prices are a lot lower than what I was paying retail. inkjet printer cartridges are not cheap I was paying around $60 each to buy new cartridges. The web site lists sites to buy your printer cartridges from saving up to 80% as a small businessman I can use the saved money to buy other supplies.

I use a HP printer ink cartridge in my business and I love the price on this web site it saves me around $20 per cartridge. I love my printer it is very dependable and the only down side is the expense of buying new ink about every 6 weeks.

InkJetDeals has information on all the major brands including HP, Dell, Brother and Lexmark and many more, check out their web site at http://www.inkjetdeals.info to get all the information about the kind of printer cartridge that your printer uses.

With the high price of gas and other items rising right along side gasoline it is so very important to save money where we can and this site helps me save money every day.

Some of the best web hosts on the Internet cost under $10 a month, and finding a list of those was one of the best things that happened to me this month. WebHostingRating is an customer rated and unbiased source for web hosting provider selection. The awards and ratings of web hosting services presented on this web site are completely based on customer reviews. Web Hosting Rating has been a trusted name for over six years. Web Hosting Rating provides reviews of multiple domain hosting sites also.

Any small business can profit from saving money on their web hosting sites and thew price of under $10 a month is fantastic to me, I love saving money where I can. This provides me with a source I can use and a source I can pass on to friends and family.

Finding cheap web hosting can be tricky and it definitely takes someone with good technical knowledge and a lot of experience to be able to judge whether the web host is good or not. More often than not, it is the bad experiences from using cheap web hosting that eventually leads people to run out of patience in these low cost endeavors and move onto more expensive options. Check out the articles site on Web Hosting Rating to see how to make the best choice. Their web site is http://webhostingrating.com/articles, I find it to be a wonderful site and use it often.
