Online Phone Savings

When I found myself facing a job transfer last spring there was a lot of things that we had to look after and fast. Beyond just selling our home, finding a new one we could get into on time and the move itself. There was a lot of work, I relocated right away and my wife stayed at our old location and worked on getting the house ready for sale and meeting with real-estate, mortgage brokers and trying to close off all our loose ends and accounts in our old home. All the while she continued to care for our 4 children, getting them off to school and activities without missing a beat. We usually share the majority of the home responsibilities so it was a bit challenging at times. We found ourselves constantly on the phone back and forth trying to co-ordinate all the various things we needed to have looked after. Of course there were those moments when we just had to take a few minutes to talk to each other to keep our sanity and know this move was going to be for the best. It was challenging because it was a 7 hour drive between our to locations so visits were pretty much out of the question so all we had was the phone to keep in touch. We quickly discovered that the long distance phone bills were adding up and we needed an alternative and quick or we would rack up one tremendous bill over the course of two month. Through some research we discovered that you could purchase online phone cards and save huge amounts over what our local phone company could offer us. It was great because we were able to select the plan that worked best for us and order/pay for the card through the online site and use it right away. Once we got onto this it was fantastic as with moving the bills add up quick and with this option we were able to talk as much as we needed and not worry about a big hit in the phone bill. We survived the move and are doing great, if you think you might need a phone card you can save lots of $$$.

New Lifestyle

My wife and I have been working on improving our lifestyle to get healthier. We bought a treadmill 4 weeks ago and have been working on eating healthier. I am beginning to enjoy the healthy eating and find that when I do sneak something not quite so good I feel rotton afterwards, tired and sluggish. My latest favorite treat is vanilla yogurt in a cup with chopped up berries and banana's....yum. Working good as we are approaching our weight goals.

That new Spark

For my wife and I it all started very inocently we lived away from all our family and wanted an easy way to keep them up to date on all of our family activities. We called alot but with our 4 little ones growing and being very busy we wanted a better way to share our events. We began to blog simply to let us show everyone our kids growing up, it was so easy to blog we found ourselves bloging everyday. It was wonderful because just as we were busy so were our families so it gave them a chance to keep up with us when they had the time. As we progressed we began to hear about opportunities to actually make money online doing basically what we were doing. This was a fantastic opportunity for us as it allowed my wife who was staying home with the kids to make a little money without having to worry about sitters or working around my schedule at work. The hours were as flexible as she wanted them to be and if we wanted to go somewhere for the day she just didn't log in that day. It wasn't long before we were both working on this together and it was fun because it gave us something to work on together. There is a fantastic new site coming called SocialSpark that allows you to make new blogging contacts and make money from your blog at the same time. It is really easy to sign up for the newsletter and get ready for the lunch. I have had the fortune of previewing the site and it really is fantastic to work with. If you are a mom at home or wanting to stay at home it might be worth your while to look into this form of advertising.

Tredmill Enjoyment

Well we have had our treadmill for just over 3 weeks, we havn't missed a day on it yet. Normally we try to get on at least a couple of times a day, it is incredible to see the improvement over just a little bit of time. When I first started I could only walk, now I'm running up to an hour at a time. It is actually becoming quite addictive, the mornings are tough but I always have a great run at night

Real Ranks

If you are a currently a blogger that has worked ever so hard in building creative and worth while blogs, you have no doubt spent countless hours working to make many connections to increase your viewership. It can be a daunting task mixing it up and building relationships with viewers to keep them coming back for more. Many of us have worked until we achieved that sought after page rank only to have it spanked away from us completely unexpectedly. Anyone whom has been hit by the page ranking system has asked themselves why, many people out there have different opinions on why we get hit but no one really seems to know for sure what causes this to happen. We are all left wondering what went wrong and what can be done to fix it, alot of people out there will tell you that it is easier just to start a new blog which can be very frustrating to get going and build up your friends again. 164There is now an alternative with the launch of IzeaRanks or Real Rank you get to be graded on the real traffic to your blog and the influence your blog will have in the world. It is clear how you are be tracked and how do you build your rank, simple increase your readership and your rank will increase.

My Sexy Bond Lady

Today I had a day off work and we had to decide what to do for the day, we decided to go do some shopping as we have our dance show coming up soon and my beautiful Bond Girl needed to sex up her outfit a bit to make an impact. We went shopping for the Sexy Shirt and we found one, she tried on some new black pants to go with it that I thought were fantastic, very hot but as usual when we are out shopping she wants my opinion but always does the opposite of what I say anyway. Anyway we agreed on the shirt for today and we'll have to work on pants and shoes later on. Looking forward to our next rehersal this weekend.

Government Free

I sometimes wonder what kind of society we might live in if we were to have a self governing population. Imagine no self serving politicians that are out for themselves first. Governments work hard to control every aspect of our lives, including our income and tax levels. Built to be a profit building greed induced our government it would be enlightening to see what would happen if we didn't have a formal government designing all the rules for our day to day lives and activities. If you are interested in reviewing a movement that explores this alternative check out the Stateless Society Website to open your mind to other possibilities. Beliefs based on guiding principals of truth, liberty, non-violence, peace. Truth being the law of nature, following the truth force the steadfastness of truth at all costs. Liberty based on the theory of self-ownership, that everyone has the right to own their own body and all the fruits of their labor. Having the rights to pursue happiness in anyway they see fit as long as no harm is befell ed by an other. Non-violence does not only consist of violence but of freedom of coercion. Peace is a state of mind that occurs naturally from mental purification. If you are interested in hearing a new and interesting perspective on government than you owe it to yourself to open your thoughts to these interesting ideas.

Marriage Joke

One of the greatest mysteries in the world solved?




Throughout the ages, men have been trying to unlock
the mystery as to
why their wives who accepted them as they were
before they got married,
subtly and with determination began the quest to
change their behaviour
and life-style once their vows were exchanged.

Finally, the riddle was solved. A social-scientist
arrived at a simple
and logical conclusion.

When the bride, accompanied by her father, starts to
walk slowly down
the long aisle, she sees the altar at the end and
hears the choir
singing a hymn. Walking down the aisle, the
conditioning process where
the brain absorbs these three stimuli: aisle,
altar, hymn, begins. She
becomes mesmerized as she continually reinforces
these perceptions:

aisle, altar, hymn. . . aisle, altar, hymn. . .
AISLE, ALTAR, HYMN. .

and finally, as she stops beside the groom, the
conditioning process is
completed.

She looks up at him lovingly, smiling sweetly and
thinks,

"I'LL ALTER HIM."

The Dancer Man

Oops....This falls under the catgory of how did I get into this....Originally Trinity was going to only go to a local competetion here in Sydney but after Christmas her teacher decided she was needing more challange and moved her up into the higher grade level. This is all well and good, exciting to see her doing so well, the catch she is now going to Halifax for 4 days to compete at dance competition. This is a great opportunity for her so I'm all supportive. Here's where the oops comes in, she comes home with the notice that she is invited to an extra dance performance for the show but she needs to have a parent perform with her on stage in front of thousands of people, um not so sure I like where this is going. I agree because I said I wouldn' hold her back, I figured that I could hide near the back no big deal right....I go to rehersal today and guess what they need 3 dads for the main character parts in the number...guess how many dads where there ...3. I am now BOND....JAMES BOND, of course the teacher was all excited about this as Carrie is also in the show as Kohl wanted to particpate so now we get to perform together, she will be playing the part of my main BOND GIRL. She has her sexy top all ready to go, I'll have to get my suit ready and catch up on my BOND posture for the show...wish me luck.
