Bridal Shower Cake

March 20th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General

2So my mom was responsible for getting the bridal shower cake, and since I was already asked to do the wedding cake, she asked if I would do the bridal shower cake as well.

1Although, I believe it could have been a lot better, me being a perfectionist and all, I think it came along great. I did it in a rush but it was funny how a lot of people thought that it came from an actual baker’s shop. I hope you enjoy the pics. You can click on them to see larger images.

What is That Extension For?

February 20th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General

I don’t know about you but a lot of times I find myself puzzled over what a file extension actually is for. For instance, did you know that the file extension 3g2 was created by the Third Generation Partnership Project for use on 3G-mobile phones. Yeah, me either. Or to go in depth a little more, file extension 3G2 is part of the new worldwide standard used for high-speed wireless and multimedia networks in their creation, delivery and playback on cell phones.

I mean I know a lot of the common ones like .doc (Microsoft Word), .xls (Microsoft Excel), .pdf (Adobe Acrobat), etc. But there are just some that just puzzle me, and for that I look to the File Extension Library to solve my questions about them.

Searching for Web Hosting?

February 20th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Blogging Basics, Domains

Web hosting is extremely important for the success of your website. In fact, it’s second to only your actual domain name. And please don’t ask me why, because what other answer would there be other than, your visitors need to be able to reach your website, haha.

So how do I find hosting? Well, usually I am on the hunt for about an hour or two before I even decide to actually pay attention to anything. And the reason being is that I’m a bargain hunter. I want to make sure that I get the most for money. I usually browse for a while until I find a review site. A really good website to use is webhostingchoice.com. Basically, they provide you a list of webhosting providers for your website.

They list them in the order of value and price. They always have a top 10 list that they provide on the top of their website. If you’d like to check them out, just click here. It’s a really great start if you’re in search for a hosting provider.

Enjoy Rating Music?

February 19th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General

I know that a lot of you out there enjoy taking the time to write music reviews or rate music. In fact it has been pretty much an online rave to rate stuff in today’s society. I mean there’s ratings for just about anything. But there are a bunch of small sites out there that shouldn’t even be asked to do it at all.

But I found one that is really great. It has all times of music to review, and yes you can even do country music reviews as well. Haha, I tend to like R&B and hip hop, but everyone has their own type of music that they love to listen to, and there’s no problem with that. And since there are so many websites out there to rate music, I figured I’d let you know the one I use, which you can visit by clicking here. You’ll love it!

Free Yourself with Debt Consolidation

February 19th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General

There are a lot of people out there who currently can’t pay for their monthly utility bills and mortgages because of their outstanding debt. Well, those are the people that should be taking advantage of a debt consolidation loan or personal loans. All you do really is bring all of that debt into one easy to manage monthly payment, and often because it’s one rate it ends up cutting down the interest rate on some of your credit lines. This then ends up making so that you can self manage your bills, without worrying if you’re going to make a payment on time or not. Like I’ve always said, through careful research of all of your options there is bound to be some way out.

The Hospital

February 19th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General

I have been in and out of the hospital watching over my mother in there. I have been so scared for her. Basically, they had to pump almost 2 liters of blood back in her, because she had lost 80% of her blood. The funny part of it all is the fact that she never lost consciousness. She has remained sane the entire time.

The doctor mentioned it was funny that she was sitting there eating a Whopper from Burger King, when most people at her stage would be passed out in the bed. He said that it’s amazing she didn’t have a heart attack due to her heart working three times as hard as it should have been. Her hemoglobin was at 2 and he said that it should be around 12.

So I’m glad to have such a strong mother, but I haven’t been able to stop worrying about her. So we will be finding out more information from the doctor today. Yay!

The Power of the Warranty

February 19th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General

I don’t know about you but I have and love the warranty on my car. I used to own a 2006 Toyota Corolla, which I had decided not to purchase a warranty on. Needless to say, I had a total of two checkups performed on it in between the time that I owned it and the time that I purchased my new vehicle and it cost me a total of $160, which is around a quarter of the cost if I would have purchased the warranty.

In April of 2007, I purchased and paid in full what I own now, which is a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. And guess what? I bought the warranty. I had decided that vehicle warranty companies aren’t really schemers after all. I mean sure they ask you to pay a large amount up front, but the problem you have down the road if you don’t have a warranty is trying to pay for the outrageous amount of a “5-point checkup” or whatever the run of the mill at the time is calling their ultimate inspection. Needless to say that inspection could cost $80+ depending on the company you’re going through.

So now I make it a point to promote to whoever is thinking about purchasing a car, to purchase the warranty. So make sure that you not only purchase your warranty, but your extended warranty after the original warranty ends as well. Because although you may not need it now, you will eventually end up using it. I know I use mine ALL the time.
