New Movies

Marilyn — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:33:23 +0000

This summer has a great lineup of movies coming out. I can’t believe how many big budget movies are coming to the big screen. Some of them truly deserve or need to be seen on the big screen to get maximum enjoyment, like the new Star Wars and new Transformers sequel. I think I will try to catch a couple of them for matinee shows, when the ticket price is reduced and the day is so hot that it will be nice to be indoors at a movie in air conditioned comfort.

Great karma ride

Marilyn — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 05:37:38 +0000

Discovered an awesome looking hybrid car called Karma, made by the new automotive company, Fisker,that looks fabulous.

The car runs on a battery charge that last fifty miles and if you need to go further than fifty miles it switches over to gas power for further mileage.

The concept behind the car is that most people do not drive more than fifty miles in a single day, so it would produce zero emissions. That’s great for the environment and easy on the pocket book. Imagine if you never have to pay for gas again.

There is one catch though, and that is the price tag of $80,000. If you like it as much as I do, then start saving now, because they will be coming out in 2010.

Redecorating guest bedroom soon

A few weeks ago my SIL sent us a gift from where she is stationed overseas – a very beautiful burgundy & gold tablecloth. I couldn’t figure out where to put it for a while, but it eventually ended up in the guest bedroom. Now I need to re-do the window treatment to make the room look nicer.

Now THAT’S a bad day!

I was reading on msnbc.nbc.com this morning that last week, the first day on the job for police officer Tim Pochron in Hobart Indiana did not start well. Twenty nine minutes into his first day, his new squad car was parked outside his house (I don’t know why it was outside his house when he was on the job, that is interesting….) and an intoxicated driver smashed into the squad car, and then a tree. The rear axle of the squad car was bent from the impact.

Not a good way to start a job, is it?

Buying at wholesale prices

Marilyn — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:52:09 +0000

I love to buy things at outlets where I pay wholesale prices without having to register as a retailer and can just buy things and use them at home! One such example of that is the Takemi Select Wholesale Outlet where you can buy massage therapy chairs or massage beds for up to 75% off of the retail price. They are located in Florida, but offer free shipping. They accept credit cards, and also offer 12 months no interest financing.

The Internet is a whole new business

Marilyn — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:08:49 +0000

Things sure have changed a lot in my lifetime! When I was a kid, there were very few opportunities to get the word out about your business. You could advertise on radio, television, mass mailings, and the paper publishing media such as newspapers and magazines. And of course, the most effective marketing possible back then was word of mouth marketing; your satisfied customers telling other people that they know that your business exists and exactly how happy they were with your product or service.

Well, word of mouth advertising was the most successful advertising strategy then, and it is the most successful advertising strategy now. In today’s advertising campaigns, blog marketing adds another dimension to word of mouth advertising.

Blogs were originally set up by people to share their thoughts with their friends and loved ones, and anyone else that might happen to share their interests. Bloggers have developed a social network that is so far reaching that it almost boggles the imagination. Marketing companies like Izea capitalize on that social network by finding bloggers that will promote their client’s products. They have several innovative programs designed to help advertisers promote their products through blog marketing strategies. Izea offers a lot of different strategies, including product sampling, blog sponsorships, and blog posts.

California Lasik procedures

Marilyn — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:32:26 +0000

Lasik is the newest technology in vision correction, and is gaining popularity across the country. The military has their pilots receive Lasik vision correction, and many sports figures are having the Lasik correction done in the hopes it will improve their performance and give them a competitive edge. I think that if a sports competitor has Lasik to correct impaired vision, then that is an acceptable practice; however if they are having it done when their vision is already 20/20 and they don’t NEED any correction, I would consider that to be cheating. I wonder how many of them do that to get an unfair advantage!?

Lasik in San Francisco is performed by a company called LaserVue. They have three offices in California, which makes it convenient for people in California to schedule Lasik vision correction procedures. Their highly skilled doctors have performed over 25,000 procedures! The procedure usually takes less than five minutes per eye, and is virtually painless. The LaserVue company arranges easy payment plans for their clients, making it more affordable for their clients to take advantage of this new technological advance to improve their vision.

Cool eco-friendly gadgets

Marilyn — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:18:18 +0000

I love buying and using things that are eco-friendly. I think I began recycling things long before I knew what recycling was! I like to do whatever I can to make this earth a healthier, safer place to live. So I was really excited to discover the www.ecogeekliving.com website because it is full of really cool gadgets like the LED shake flashlight. This little gadget needs no batteries; you just shake it for one minute, and it will provide you with thirty minutes of light. That’s plenty of time to do most of the things you need to get done with a flashlight!

Why are they doing this to us?

Marilyn — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:41:30 +0000

I was reading a Reuters.com article today that the Senate blocked debate on a bill that would have extended tax credits to consumers who buy hybrid cars and install energy producing windmills and solar arrays. It sounds to me as if the Senate has some kind of ulterior motive to keep us chained and enslaved to foreign oil. What’s up with that?
