Difficult Choices

We are faced with a hard decision again on what to do about a move for our family. The hard thing it is the move we have been waiting years for but we have made roots in our home and the kids are settled in their school with friends now that we've been here for a few years. We have been trying to make the right decision the last few days and have been back and forth on whether to take the move or not.

Precious Metal Investment

There can be so many hard times in life and trying to create a financially secure future for you and your family can be very difficult. Over time some of the most proven ways to grow your investment was to invest in gold and silver bullion, ingot and coin. The value of these precious metals have proven themselves over the course of time to increase in value. As the ground stock of these metals diminishes it is creating an even bigger demand for these items. If you are like me and not sure where or how to start your investment portfolio you can get the best advise on how to buy gold coins from the experts at the US Gold Bureau. They can assist you in securing your purchase and arrange for delivery or secure storage to protect your investment.

EMERGENCY LANDING....

An airliner was having engine trouble and the pilot instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their seats and get prepared for an emergency landing. A few minutes later the pilot asked the flight attendants if everyone was buckled in and ready.

"All set back here Captain," came the reply, "except the lawyers are still going around passing out business cards."
LOL.......

Puppy Dog Eyes

Today we took our puppy, Riley in for his neutering surgery. When explaining things to the kids and how he couldn't have puppies anymore Kohl(8) said well Mom he is a boy puppy so he wouldn't have babies anyway. We explained that it takes a boy and a girl together to create the magic of babies. He thought for a minute and then said oh so your having his magic removed, yes buddy that sounds about right.

Auto repair guidance

I would have to say for sure I am not a great car person, I know how to put gas in and I know you need to get your oil changed and tires rotated but that is about it. I hate taking my Honda Civic into the local shop because I'm always worried that they are going to take advantage of me and charge me too much just because I don't know the in's and out's of vehical repair.

I remember what happened to break me finally so I needed to find help when it came to fixing my car. I had some smoking issues and when I took the car into get checked I was told it was my Head Gasket and that it was going to cost me a lot to get it fixed. A friend that was sitting in the shop waiting with me mentioned I should try out a website "RepairPal" to make sure I wasn't getting gauged by the shop. Repair Pal will help you from it's valuable database that knows how much parts and labor should cost for a wide variety of repairs. It was fantasic and I was even able to print out what it should cost me and I was able to take it in with me and show them that they were charging too much. I got the work done for $200 less than what I was originally quoted.
Repair pal is available for a wide variety of areas and if you find yourself in need of Los Angeles auto repair you can check out the site to see how they can help you out.

Dog Chew

We arrived home the other day to find the dog had made her mark around the house while we were out. We close her in a bit when we go out, so she basically has access to 3 rooms when we are out. We always take the time to pick things up off the floor because she is a bit of a chewer, but the other day she managed to get the remote down off the coffee table and do a number on it. She apparently decided it was a chew toy and knawed the heck out of it. It was the original remote and we always hate replacing those because you never get a universal remote that works as well as the original.

Accessibility Assistance

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.



I have often wondered where people with special needs or disabilities get their vehicles that transport them around. I recently came across an article that discusses the
NMEDA non-profit association that educates consumers on how and where to purchase a vehicle especially equipped for their specific needs. No to special cases are completely the same and it takes specialized people to meet the modification needs that people with disabilities have with their vehicles. Sometimes it is just as simple of the elderly having difficulty with standard vehicles and just needing some modifications to maintain their mobility, while in other cases extensive modifications might be required to give someone back their freedom and ability to transport themselves from place to place. NMEDA is a great resource for individuals whether they are disabled themselves or care for someone who with special needs. NMEDA dealers have been authorized to sell vehicles that meet the needs of their clients. Taken a step further is the NMEDA (QUP) Dealer which have gone through an accreditation program to ensure quality, safety and reliability within the industry. By checking out the NMEDA website you can find the authorized dealer nearest you to assist you with your questions and getting you back on the road faster. My local dealer is Harding Medical at 3447 Kempt Rd in Halifax, NS Phone: 902-453-6900 only a few hours away, take a minute to find how close your solutions can be.

Outside Backyard Getaway

What a great plan we have for the weekend, for the last 2 summers we haven't been able to get any camping in with the kids because of other vacation plans. The weekend is supposed to be nice and we have a few jobs to do around the yard so it is official, the house is closed for the weekend except for "P" breaks and food preperation. The great thing is we have the BBq in the yard and the pool, and even the camping cheat (electric plug), can't wait for the fun!

Anniversary Getaway

We have official done it now, for the first time in over 10 years we are getting away with NO children to celebrate our Anniversary. Now the down side it is only for one night but I'm sure we will make the most of our one day away with out them all. It took a lot of arrangements to make sure all the kids were looked after but with help from family I'm sure they will survive the one night without us!
