September 2007

With all the talk that Krissy and I have been doing talking about moving and about affording a house and all that good stuff, there are other plans we have been talking about sporadically that haven’t really been the main focus of conversations as of yet. Those plans are of kids, and what happens when or if we have them and all the things that comes along with kids. We’ve also talked about if we did have kids what would happen to them when we died. This of course led to talking about what we were to do if the other died.

We want to make it simple for the probate lawyers to be able to divide our property to family and loved ones, while keeping our wishes along with theirs in the best interest. I mean some people may see this as morbid, but the fact is that these are just life plans, for in case something happens. Life goes on and you need to make sure that your bases are covered and that you have everything set as to how you would like it when your gone.

The most important thing you can do is find a good lawyer. Someone who won’t try to stiff people out of money when your gone and someone who won’t end up screwing you or your family. Morris, Hall & Kinghorn is an Arizona firm that will make sure your wishes are fulfilled to the best of their ability.

Let me explain what is going on. First off I know I am behind on my Despair comments, but there is good reason for that. I am not in my own element. I am either on Krissy’s desktop or laptop (my laptop needs to get fixed too, I am just too lazy to sit down and do it). My desktop needs a new video card and right now that is getting shipped to Harrington, so I should have it either tomorrow or the next day. (The ETA is on the 13th) After I am back on my desktop then I will comment on all the despair people and approve comments that have been left here.

If we end up moving before Halloween, I think I might throw a house warming party. See I know a couple people in Ohio and I think that a party where people gives us free things after we move in to a place is just what we need. I don’t think it would be a boring party, I would have the disco ball set up, with a couple games going on like Halo 3, and Wii sports. Depending on the size, I would even have a dance floor set up where everyone would have glow sticks.

Premierglow has some good deals on glow sticks, and other glow products. What good is a party without glowing under a disco ball with some Halo 3 in the background with music? Of course we would probably need a house to do all that, as an apartment with all that noise would most likely get us in trouble. It would be cool, though, to have a bunch of people there to play video games and have a good time, kind of like one big lan party, which I have always wanted to do. Maybe when we get our own place I can start thinking seriously about one. Of course what good is a lan party without glow sticks right?

We found a place we really like online, now all there is to it is to get out to Ohio to look at the apartment up close and check out the neighborhood. My friend lives out there so it shouldn’t be that difficult for me to change, but Krissy doesn’t really have anyone out there and I know that is going to be really hard on her. I just wish I could do something to help make the transition if it does happen, a little easier.

I don’t think I have ever used my blog to spread gossip, mainly because I am against starting trouble on the internet. I mean I have seen when people do it and I think it is hilarious, he said this and she said that. Then the threats start flying where people start looking up legal terms on Wikipedia and starts threatening with lawsuits. If you are into that whole thing that is fine, just know if I come across your website I will probably sit back and laugh at the immaturity that is unfolding from 20 year olds.

There is a new show, Gossip Girl on The CW, and like other shows on the CW, it is focused to bring in a teenage viewing audience. The show revolves around the main character (Kristen Bell) who has a website and blogs about her friends, that creates tension between them. While dealing with the main character’s comments about her friends on her site, the gang also deals with the normal stress of everyday teen lives, sex, drugs, and other issues that teenagers face in their lives.

If this show is as entertaining as the real life bloggers who go out of their way to make them look like immature teenagers, then I might actually tune in to watch this on September 19th.

I have gotten really sick of Adbrite telling me they fixed the popup problem then it coming up again, so I took control and am now manually approving and denying any banner ad that is displayed here. I am sorry to those who got them, but up until this point it was out of my hands. Hopefully with the loss of the popups, I will get back some of the visitors that I had lost.

I like Myspace, from the groups to the pointless bulletins that people occasionally post. I have found a website that has funny MySpace surveys that people can do and then post as bulletins, or put in their Myspace profiles if they like. What is better than having stuff for people to read in your profile? They don’t just have surveys, they have personality quizzes, and more. Check it out.

The bed is extremely comfortable. In fact it is so comfortable that I have been working from it all day. I am fine, not sick or anything, but my computer is down until my new video card comes. The one in there, is a bit old and was in Krissy’s old computer that died, I had trouble with it in the beginning and now it is acting up again, so I bought one from Tigerdirect. It is the same one that I had before, it worked fine for years, so it should work fine when it comes.

We have narrowed down where we want to live, almost to the exact place we want to live in. It’s a house in Ohio. Now we have been talking about how we would afford it, and one way that we could save money is to use an internet phone service. As long as we would save money, I was thinking about getting a Video Phone. Packet 8 offers some great features. They offer stuff that the other guys don’t.

I really like the Do Not Disturb feature, which I can turn on and off whenever I don’t want the phone to ring. I also like the Email Notification feature. I check my email more than I pick up the phone, so that is a great feature to have, at least for me anyway.

If we were to get the video phone service, I’d definitely get the Packet8 DV326. It isn’t cordless, but with video, you don’t want to have a cordless phone because the battery would die easily. The Packet8 DV326 is a cool looking phone though, and I would definitely love to own it. I mean a phone with an auto answer sounds pretty sweet to me, imagine not having to do anything when the phone rings, it just answers by itself and you say hello. If you aren’t home, you just turn it off, or put on the do not disturb feature that Packet 8 offers.

I just woke up from falling asleep on the new bed. It was delivered today and it is really soft (this is the first time we even got to see it because it was a special deal). So yes we bought a bed that we didn’t see or lay down in and so far it is pretty nice. I went yesterday and bought a low profile frame for it, so Bella can’t get under there. We don’t want something to happen to her if the bed falls down, so we thought it was best to not let her under there at all. I’ll let you know how a full night’s sleep on it is tomorrow.

Krissy is cleaning the bedroom because the bed is coming tomorrow. I hope it fits in the house. I tried to help her before, but it was all her stuffed animals and clothes and stuff, so I didn’t really know what to do, I did take out the DVDs and have them in the office now. We really have a lot of stuff, I just hope we can find a place soon, just so our fit will fit.

It is no shock to anyone that this country is in need of repair. The economy needs help. There aren’t any jobs here in the US and the stock market is so low that it is where it was in the 1980’s, that is 20 years ago. In light of all these things, people still seem to be to be hopeful to make money in the stock market. NBC has a stock expert, Cramer who talks about tips on how you can make money in this desperate time. Cramwer even has a new video online, Low Interest – Cramer on Interest Rates. Check it out if you are interested in making money in the stock market.
