			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got up early and took my DH&#8217;s truck into town to have it state inspected.  The garage opened at 7:00 am,  I got there at 7:05 am, and still had to wait an hour and a half before they could inspect it!  I tried a few days ago to make an appointment to have it inspected, but all of the garages that do the inspections say that they can&#8217;t do that &#8211; it is first come, first serve.  **Sigh** </p>
<p>Thankfully, their waiting room had a television in it, so I could watch the news while I waited, and there was a pleasant woman in the waiting room that I chatted with to pass the time.</p>
<p>Afterwards, went to Staples to pick up tax preparation software, I have found that I can save a lot of money by doing our taxes ourselves on the computer and filing online instead of paying someone else to do it.  Now I just have to wait for all of the forms to come in the mail from all the employers/banks etc so I can start to file them.  I&#8217;m sure we will get a refund this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This cool car company called Tesla Motors has made a totally electric sports car that can go from 0 to 60 in less then 4 seconds and has a top speed of over 125 miles per hour.</p>
<p>On a fully charged battery the car can operate for about 3 and a half hours and runs on no fuel whatsoever, making it a zero emissions car.</p>
<p>its a really great looking car, and if you have solar panels installed at home it costs you nothing to recharge the battery, so you will never have to pay for gas or to charge the cars battery.</p>
<p>The price tag on this car is at $100,000 per car, but is well worth every penny in my opinion because of the looks and the features and the huge potential savings on fuel.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s face it &#8211; I am an animal lover.  My life-long dream was to become a veterinarian at the National Zoo.  I&#8217;ll always wish that I could have done that, but life got in the way, and it just was not in the cards.  (Sigh.)</p>
<p></a>So, I have to content myself with being around animals when the opportunity arises.  I was really happy recently when I read in a local newspaper that the American Bald Eagles are making a comeback in the local areas.  I think that the Bald Eagle is a glorious bird, and I am so glad to know that their numbers are increasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m so glad that I switched over to Direct TV. I just hope that we don&#8217;t lose power over the weekend due to the up and coming arrival of the hurricane that we have been watching the progress of on our new Direct TV system. I have always wanted a generator for the house just for occasions such as this, but we haven&#8217;t had the extra money lately to put into something like this. Right now my main concern is finding a home security system to have installed so I have Googled &#8220;home security cordova&#8221; to see what kind of deals I can find.</p>
<p>Since the economy doesn&#8217;t seem to be letting up at all, there has been more and more home break ins and robberies happening and I just don&#8217;t feel safe anymore. Even though we really don&#8217;t have much of anything of value around here they could still walk away with some of the electronics and really trash the place searching for more things that we might possibly have and that just wouldn&#8217;t be cool. We have worked hard for the things that we have.</p>
<p>In the mean time I&#8217;m praying that these hurricane doesn&#8217;t hit as hard as they are saying it could hit. Be safe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today was a scary day with the 5.8 earthquake shaking up the east coast as much as it did. The worse part was not being able to get hold of anyone due to the majority of cell phones on the blink. At first it didn&#8217;t seem to be all that bad but now the news is telling of all the damage and injuries that are being blamed on Mother Natures deed of the day. I&#8217;m glad that everyone that I know and love are O.K. and that we don&#8217;t have any more scares like this one any time soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First thing that showed up on my laptop this morning was a big story about the angry Netflix customers that are busy speaking up against the raise in the price that Netflix just announced for their movie rentals. The story indicates that the price is going up 60% which sounds likes a massive increase, which has prompted numerous Netflix customers to cancel their subscription.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been been into the whole Netflix scene, but it seems to me that $10 a month for unlimited movies was a very low price, so the jump to $16 a month isn&#8217;t all that major if you ask me. That is still a very cheap price considering how easy it is to use and how many movies you get to watch in a months time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The one day of the week that I actually have the time and desire to sit down and read the newspaper is Sunday. I get the daily paper delivered every day. But to be honest, there are days when I toss the paper on the side table and don&#8217;t even read it for a couple of days. Some days I am too busy trying to get to an appointment, and other days I just can&#8217;t deal with any more bad news.</p>
<p>When I went out to the end of the driveway this morning to get the paper, it wasn&#8217;t there. I don&#8217;t know if the delivery person messed and and skipped my driveway or if someone stole it? I wish they would bring the paper up to the house and leave it closer to the door. On the porch would be even nicer. But when I asked for that, they told me its not something they can do any more because it takes too much of there time.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;m lucky they are willing to drive by my house and throw the newspaper out of their car window as they drive by. But either they didn&#8217;t do that this morning or someone decided to help themselves to my paper before I could get there to pick it up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Internet is full of lists of tips for any subject you could think of. My home page is Yahoo.com, so first thing I see are the day&#8217;s big news stories, celebrety headlines along with a few sport stories with some filler here and there with interesting tips on a variety of subjects that I check into from time to time.</p>
<p>Today the one that caught my eye was The When-to-Wash-It Handbook, which is now placed some where in the Shopping category with countless other interesting and some times wacky articles that hopefully with enlighten, educate and entertain you. I didn&#8217;t necessarily agree with the time frames that they provided the readers as to when to wash some of their clothing items, but for the most part I guess I&#8217;m doing correctly, as far as this list goes.</p>
