Corn Flakes

July 22, 2011 // Posted in Good Food, Ideas, Life (Tags: , , , , ) |  No Comments

Seems like corn flakes have been around my entire life. Do you use corn flakes for anything besides a breakfast cereal? I do.

You can melt butter and marshmallows and stir in corn flakes instead of rice krispies for a sweet snack.

Cornflakes make a great crunchy topping for casseroles and baked macaroni and cheese.

Cornflakes dumped on an enemy’s lawn will kill the grass and be extremely difficult to clean up once they get wet.

Or so I hear.

Credit Repair Gone Green

September 30, 2010 // Posted in Finance, Going Green, Ideas (Tags: , , , , ) |  No Comments

As I spoken and written about before, going “Green” is so very  important to us all these days,and  I try the best that I can to go with companies that are putting forth the effort to go “Green” as well. I’ve always been an avid recycler and try and encourage people to do the same, it really isn’t all that much work for goodness sakes. So when I read that Ovation Credit had made a commitment to be as “Green” as possible I found myself checking them out to see what all that they have to offer with their credit repair services.

Bad credit is something that a lot of people are finding themselves dealing with these day and I’m am included in this boat along with plenty of other good folks. The economy has done a number on us so a lot of us are looking at ways to improve our credit scores. Ovation Credit has the means to fix your credit and avoid the filing of bankruptcy, which can really put a damper on your life style for years to come. It can be easy to be green, I don’t care what Hermit The Frog says and sings about.

Jiffy Lube

September 23, 2010 // Posted in Friends, Ideas, Life (Tags: , , , , ) |  No Comments

I have always had my oil changed at the local Jiffy Lube. They have never been an overly busy place of business, I usually go in and get out pretty quickly and have never had a problem. But there seems to be an oil changing war going on right now between all of the service centers and Jiffy Lube seems to be slowing down bit by bit. I know several of the guys that work there and I’d hate to see any of them lose their job due to lack of business and all of the new competition in town, so I still go there and always encourage any one that I know to go there for their oil changes. I’m doing what I can in trying to keep a good business in business.

Treasure Hunt of Billions of Dollars

September 16, 2010 // Posted in Ideas, Life (Tags: , , , ) |  No Comments

I was reading that there is billions of dollars in savings bonds that have stopped earning interest but haven’t been cashed. So if you still have one you need to find it, cash it in or reinvest it so your money can start working for you again. Savings bonds used to be a big issue but you don’t hear to much about them these days. Wish I had one that I could cash in, but I’ve never had one, that I’m aware of anyway.

It’s a shame to have money out there not working for you, so I’d really suggest that you take action if you do have any.

9/11

September 10, 2010 // Posted in Ideas, Life (Tags: , , , ) |  No Comments

Once again the anniversary of the horrible day nine years ago now referred to as 911 is creeping up on us. It is such a sad day, but I’m so glad to see how people are flying the American Flag for this anniversary. I don’t think anyone of us will ever forget that horrible day and it has brought back a good amount of Patriotism to many of us, which has been long over due, if you ask me.

There are many special events and ceremonies scheduled for Saturday the 11th of September 2010. I’m hoping to make at least one of them this year. It’s good for the soul.
