Jack sent me nose spray that he makes to clear my nostrils since I have been on Afrin for over two years and it’s killing my nose. It isn’t working that great, mainly because I have been on Afrin for so long that after a few minutes my nose gets just as clogged as before I used it. I am hoping that after a few days things will start to even out and I can begin to breath again and not have to worry about killing my membranes in my nose anymore.
Right now the economy is in bad shape. I technically work for myself, and even though money is and always has been tight, the price of food going up, along with the holidays coming up is really making me try and stretch my budget. I have been trying to find as many coupons for things gifts, and things I need, even groceries. My DVD burner recently died, it no longer read DVDs, but it would burn them just fine, so I needed to go buy a new one. I would have ordered from Newegg, or something like that, but with a Microcenter right around the corner from where I was, I decided to go there and pick one up.
As I walk in the door they had a massive amounts of coupons, ones for burners, computers, mother boards, even stuff for software like Windows, Office, they even had Quicken coupons. It was a pleasant surprise, let me tell you, because with the money I saved on my burner, I was able to get some dinner and even some stuff for Thanksgiving next week.
When I was working in a grocery store I hated the coupons, Manufacturer, Store, and then you had to keep and separate them, it was a big pain to deal with. Then people complaining because they gave you an expired coupon, just made the whole thing ten times worse, sometimes I wanted to hit them and say something like “It’s only 30 cents”, but now that I am out of that mindset and actually using them, I see that 30 cents here and a dollar there is another item that can go in the cart that won’t be put off another week.
The blogs are buzzing about the NXE (New Xbox Experience) that came out a few days ago. Mainly they focus on the Avatar and the installable games. I have created an avatar, but I never plan on installing games, simply because my harddrive is too small. If I ever upgraded to the 100 or 60 gig drives I might, but until then there’s no way.
I plan on getting my stats up soon, along with my Xbox avatar and my Mii, I just need to figure out how to budget my time better. I think I am horrible at it at the moment, though I do think I have been getting better somewhat. Live and learn I suppose.
It seems that the webhosting world has gotten bigger the last few months. I have seen a rise in people ditching resellers for their own servers with dedicated server masters, this is good for the companies that have that many customers, but when you are in the market to find a hosting company, how do you know which ones are good, and which ones will take your money and give you crappy service in return?
Now you don’t need to worry about that stuff, since there is a place that you can check how a hosting company stands up against other companies. With webhostinggeeks you can check out reviews of companies, see who got the most awards for their hosting, and you can see who customers think are the top 10 hosts. You can even break it down by non-adult and adult webhosting, in case you want to take your site and make it risque or more.
I got my host before this site existed, and honestly I would have probably moved ten times over if it wasn’t such a pain to change the stuff that I have calling absolute paths, but I know that if and when I do have to change hosts, I am going to be checking their reviews out first.
I plan on applying for Medicaid as soon as I have my license and car switched over to New York. I know in Delaware that I have optical coverage with Medicaid, so I am hoping that it is the same in New York. Whether I have it or not, I am going to need glasses, so I am planning on going with ZenniOptical instead of a store to get them. They have eyeglasses starting from just $8.00. That is frames and lenses for just eight bucks, that is a really good deal.
I put an image of the glasses that I want below. I really like the sophistication of the black frame, I just need to get the prescription for them. I looked at the others, especially the plastic ones, but I have always had much better luck with metal ones, and besides that, I just think they look better in general. I do know that when I have the money I might pick up more than one pair, just so I have a spare when the main pair get scratched or damaged or something like that. I might go next weekend to the optomitrist, I found a coupon for a $20 eye exam, and I think $28 for an exam and glasses is a fine price.
