Getting back to reading.

2008-07-06T07:59:00.000+08:00

I think I need help. Im becoming a loser :P. I havent read books in years - read: YEARS! Ever since I finished studying I have never picked up a book (other than idea scrapping books). And I know I NEED to start reading. *sigh*. I hope I can break this habit and just start to read again. Ive been praying for a sign which one to let go of when this month started...and Im sounding so cryptic again.

Some Qs

2008-07-06T07:55:00.002+08:00

How many pairs of shoes do you own? Around 20.

How big is your bed? Big enough? King.

Save on Gas - Maintain Your Engines!

2008-07-04T06:00:00.001+08:00

With the current gas prices and failing economy, more and more people are losing their homes and selling their cars, specifically their SUVs and cars which eat up so much fuel. They usually buy cheaper cars that run on diesel. Most car owners make sure the engines are running smoothly as it can add to fuel usage. Used engines and transmissions can be obtained from midwest auto recycling. All miles are CARFAX verified. All ENGINES come as a complete assembly. They are started, inspected for compression, cylinder leak down tested, checked for oil pressure and cleaned. ALL TRANSMISSIONS are test driven, visually inspected and cleaned.

Halfway.

Cable TV shopping

2008-07-04T05:29:00.000+08:00

Have you ever tried Cable Shopping? It is similar to the ones you see on TV channels offering stuff. The Cable Shopping Network is like that - providing easy access to a wide array of collectibles, having fun, and building relationships with their customers along the way. You need presidential dollars? They currently offer that. Their headquarters are based in Arizona (Scottsdale to be exact). It is a company culture-and a shopping experience-second to none. I really havent tried TV shopping yet, I have only tried online shopping. Maybe I should give it a try one day. If you are new to CSN, check out the fantastic assortment of products available on their website, or tune in and check them out on TV. You’re sure to be entertained and educated on everything CSN has to offer.

They have launched a comprehensive academic writing center online. Some of that unique information includes a writing handbook organized around the writing process and embedded with multi-media modules, animated handouts, and easily downloadable documents on topics such as the philosophy behind APA writing guidelines, writing a literature review, and pre-writing techniques that can be used to help facilitate the writing process. The university is a fully accredited university.

There is a great service called Divide The Ride. You can view their web site here - www.dividetheride.com. With increasing fuel prices everyday and the worsening state of the economy, everybody needs to tighten their belts a little bit. And carpooling is one way to save on gas, meet new friends and help the enviroments. Divide The Ride is FREE to use and carpools are set-up with families that people know and trust. This is NOT designed to match up families that do not know each other. All information is safe and secure. Carpool reminders are sent via email and text message. Divide The Ride has been featured in media all across the country. Most recently it was featured on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. It not only helps the parent arrange rides for their children but assures them that their ride is safe. They will save on gas, contrbuted to the going green campaign (while saving green as well - money) and can meet new friends. It is a win win situation actually!!!
