I’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’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.

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’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’m doing correctly, as far as this list goes.

Wow! Have you tried the new fries at Wendy’s? I had not even heard about these new fries, but they are on the menu at my Wendy’s and they are only one dollar. The lady at the window says that they are bigger, still have the potato skin on the ends, and they use sea salt instead of table salt on them. So I went ahead and ordered it to try it out. All I can say is, “Yummy!”

I have been following the story of how as of last year, Anheuser-Busch has started  marketing a line of team-color Bud Light cans that are to appeal to sports fans in select markets. It seems that when the beer’s in your team’s colors that drinking seems safer and that has people up in arms about how that might encourage binge drinking and consumption by minors.

I can see how people (mainly school administrators) would be concerned about this marketing strategy. We have always had a problem with students drinking. Not just college kids, but high schoolers, middle schoolers and even some of the grade school kids are drinking and we all know how bad that can be for all concerned. You would think that companies that are making and selling alcohol would be a bit more cautious with their marketing strategies, I mean I’m sure that they have kids as well and that they should be more concerned with their safety rather than the all mighty dollar that they are always chasing after with little or no concern for what their products can do to people, especially our children.

She has seen some breath taking homes and I’ve gotten to tag along with her on more than one occasion and have seen some pretty gorgeous ones myself. It’s always exciting to see not only the outside up and close by the inside of these houses as well. Their great looking huge kitchens, along with the most exquisite tiles used in many of them. Even bathroom tiles are really becoming a huge trend that I’ve fallen in love with recently and would like to incorporate in my bathroom. So I’ve been doing a bit of subway tiles research online and found that the glasstilestore.com site has a tremendous variety of tiles and even offers free shipping, which is a huge savings considering how much shipping tiles must cost these days.

I don’t know why people down here don’t seem to have any use for a pretty window box full of flowers.  Does the box dry out too quickly?  Are the people too hurried to be bothered with watering and caring for them?  Whatever the reason, I find that I miss seeing those splashes of color as I drive along the country roads down here.

I’ve been doing some research as to how much money Pharmacy Techs make and to be honest it was not as much as I thought it was when I signed up for the class.  I’m not sure if I would have signed up for the class if I’d realized how little they actually get paid.  It seems to be for a job to require certification and continuing education that companies would pay decent money!  But it seems that in this area where I live getting paid decent money is a pipe dream, which is why most people commute an hour or more to go to work.  And I don’t want to drive that far to go to work, so I have to just swallow my pride and take a lower paying job.

Oh well, I need the money and the job is close to home.  With the price of gas going up as much as it has, and as much as it is going to be going up, I’ll be the lucky one bringing home more money at the end of the week once the costs of commuting are figured into the picture!
