Best Place to Buy Tickets for Concert

I must admit, I love music and singing, but either one of these two doesn't love me at all. But despite of that , I still sing. And because of my love for music, one of the things that I have never done and wanted to do someday is to watch a concert live. For the first time in my life, my friends and I decided to watch a concert which will be held this month. She ordered tickets for me, her and Juliet. I couldn't wait to see this famous singer in the country where we grew up.

Anyway, someday. I would like to see Faith Hill, Sheryl Crowe, Brad Paisley, Shania, Twain and most of the country music artists perform. Good thing to know, there is a legitimate website that sells musical event passes to some of the hottest venues around like the Country Music Awards Tickets, HP Pavilion Tickets, Caesars Palace Tickets, Staples Center Tickets, MGM Grand Garden Arena and more.

Our Old House for Sale Again!?

Yes, you read it right, our old house we sold one and a half year ago due to job relocation is in the market again. I still want the house back, but hubby says the price is more than the price we asked for it when we sold it, considering that the current owner didn't do much but put a garbage disposal and the patio is not as inviting as it used to when we sold it to her. One more thing, she has two pets (dog and cat), which we really tried to avoid when buying a house. But if she lowers the price, maybe we will consider buying it back to her. I am a sentimental person that is why I want it back because of all the memories, hard work and love we put into it.

My husband said that when it is time for us to buy a house again, it would be a townhouse with small yard and definitely no repair or renovation to be done. Our old house has a big yard especially in the back and we did tons of repairing ourselves including totally renovated kitchen, interior painting, covered and screened patio, driveway extension, new roofing, new windows, insulation, new flooring wood and carpet flooring, new HVAC system, and new washer, dryer, stove and dishwasher. I am still praying that hubby would change his mind about it and agrees to buy it back. It is not a big house, but I don't care, I don't need a big house, anyway.

iPhone Accessories

The one thing on my wish list that I really want to have right now if I could would be an iPhone. I am not a materialistic person, but this one is very useful that is why I wan it bad! I know it expensive but it is worth the price. Anyway, if you owe one, I am sure you would like to get all its accessories available. It would cost you much, but no worry because there is a place that sells iphone accessories that you can afford. Buy.com sells everything you could ask for, from iPhone accessories, dvd's and more for a cheap price! Just recently, I bought dvd from them and I couldn't believe how cheap it is to buy from them that at the other store because it saves me $3.00. I am glad I look online first before buying stuffs at the store. Why don't you try and see how much you would save money from buying stuffs at buy.com.

Playground Pointers

Make sure your next visit to the local park is a safe one by following these tips:

Source: LDS Living.com/ Magazine

Forget relaxing with a good book. Lack of supervision accounts for 40 percent of playground injuries, so keep a close eye on your child at all times to make sure he or she is using the equipment properly.
Check for unsafe equipment. Are the swings or slides damaged? Are the nets or ropes frayed? Does everything seem to be secured properly?
Keep your children in age-appropriate areas. Don’t let young children play on the older children’s equipment; there’s a good chance they will be knocked down or otherwise injured.
Dress your child for the occasion. Avoid jewelry, hoodies, and other loose clothing. Have your child wear a brightly colored shirt so you can easily pick him or her out of the crowd.

Tattoo Chat Rooms.

Every time I see someone who has a tattoo it makes me wonder why they do that to themselves. I am sure it really hurts when you do something like that to yourself. Anyway, one time I talked to my cousin who has a small tattoo on her belly and asked why did she put one; she said it her way to to how much she loves her husband. If you are in to art especially body art, I am sure you would like to meet people who have the same passion as you do. You should join this website called tattoo chat rooms. There you will meet people all over the world whom you can share your interest with. Registration is 100% free, so why not sign up now!

Pet Supplies

Having a pet home brings joy to our family. We used to have dog at one time but we gave it away to our friend when my son was still young. Our son liked the little dog, but he hated it when he dog starts jumping on him. Then, we had a rabbit who ran away from us. We do want to get a cat, but maybe in the near future when our son is old enough to take care of it. Now, we are satisfied when our friends ask us to look after their bird every time they go on a vacation. We love having pet despite of the fact that owning a pet is not an easy task. We need to care for them like we care with every member of the family. They need attention, love, care and pet supplies in order to live and be happy and well taken care of.

Van Insurance Done Right!

With the economic crisis we are facing for awhile now, everyone are looking for ways on how to save money to make ends meet. There are things we spend money for that are not really necessary and can even live without it. One of the many things we can't afford not to have is, an auto insurance that fits our budget. Finding inexpensive and reliable car or van insurance can be very hard yet, very important. At the place where we used to live, car insurance was inexpensive as well as reliable, and that is one thing we don't have and miss here in the state where we live right now. It took us a week or so before we finally decided which one in all insurance companies we have compared quotes with for our van.

If you are live in UK and is looking for car insurance, you should check Autonet Insurance group for they have the cheapest car insurance quotes ever.

Fruit Flies are Driving Us Crazy!

For the first time in our life, we encountered problem of getting rid of fruit flies! After a month or so of these tiny insects presence into our apartment, we decided to place fruits inside our refrigerator instead of the kitchen counter. My husband did all he can to get rid of them but to no avail. I am now waiting that they die after three days so I will be happy again spending time in our kitchen cooking! I have done some research and this is what I have found out about these insects.

by: Whitney Cranshaw

Vinegar flies, also known as small fruit flies, commonly develop in overripe or decaying fruit and vegetable matter. They are minute, light brown flies with orange-red eyes and rarely are they found very far from the fruit bowl. Numbers tend to build in late summer. If conditions are suitable and food is present, they may breed indoors.

Although associated with fruit, developing vinegar flies actually feed on yeasts. To eliminate a vinegar fly problem, use up overripe fruit, refrigerate it or discard it. At the same time, give attention to other breeding sites. Vinegar flies may, for example, breed in the moist residue that remains in the bottom of beer bottles or soft drink cans, as well as in other areas where moist organic matter allows for yeast growth. After all such food sources are removed, some residual adults may remain for a week or so, but ultimately will die out.

Jake Wants Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy!

Eight years ago, I met my favorite Disney character for the first time at DisneyLand in California. I was so happy to see Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse; it was a dream come true to me. After I got married I found out that my husband likes watching Disney movies, too that explained why he has collections of almost all Disney characters movies. He also told me that he decided to collect Disney movies for his future children. Now, we have a five year old son who loves watching cartoon characters like Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, Pocahontas, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse to name some. So, every time we are at the mall, he wants to go to the Walt Disney store not only to see these Disney character toys, but also buy at least one of their toys.

My son told me that he wants to go to Disneyland to see his favorite cartoon characters especially Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Woody and Buzzlight Year of the movies toy story 1 and 2. I talked about it with my husband and decided that as soon as we have enough savings, we will go to Disney World in Orlando in Florida. And when that time comes, we will buy Disney Tickets and plane tickets at orlandofuntickets.com because they have the best deals that can get us into all the Disney Parks in Orlando, FL.


Since my son is old enough to remember things, it would be so much fun for him to see different cartoon characters in person. My husband and I want our son to experience what we have experienced when we went to Disneyland in CA. We had so much fun; and this time it would be exciting because it will be a whole family's enjoyment! I can't wait when that day comes when I would be able to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse at the Magic Kingdom. I also want to one again see and enjoy the Island of Adventure, Sea World, Busch Garden, Blizzard Beach, and Typhoon Lagoon. So, if you are planning give your whole family a great entertainment, you should visit Orlando Fun Tickets site and choose which show you and your family will really enjoy.

Your Financial Guidance

Two years ago, my husband experienced the one thing we didn't think will ever happened with him. He got laid off from his job of seven years. We were both devastated by that. It put so much stress in our lives. The only consolation we got was the company he worked for gave everyone who was laid off enough time to find new jobs. Thank goodness we only waited one month for his new job. We were relocated in VA after we sold our house and moved right away. We didn't get enough time to withdraw our 401K. We thought of transferring it to CD, but never happened. The result, we lost some of our money because of the economic crisis that has happened since. My husband is back to his old job after getting laid off for the second time in just a little over a year. Our money is still there where it was before and still we don't know what we will do with it. We still want to learn about the stock market and investment strategies so we can move our money where it needs to be. Thanks goodness there is a website that can help us and that is YoungMoney.com. At Young Money.com, you will find answers for any financial problem you are facing, be it credit and debts, financial aid, investing, money management, shopping, and more. I really like that Young Money has a mortgage payoff calculator that can help homeowners show much interest they can save by increasing their mortgage payment and see complete amortization payment schedule, and how much they can save on their monthly mortgage. I am convinced that we need financial planner who can help us invest our money into something that would make our money earn instead of losing them. So, if you are in need of help with any financial issue you are facing, you should check this website out and stop worrying. Claim your financial freedom back now!

Party Ideas for All Occasion

I never had the experienced of having a back to school party when I was still at school. In the country where I grew up, though the weather there is hot at summertime, hosting a summer or back to school party is not very popular. I have always wanted to attend a back to school/summer party; I think it would be fun for both kids and parents alike. Since the school starts in just a few days, it would be nice to host a “Back to School Night Family Dinner Party.” Of course the theme of the party would be “Back to School.” I would invite my friends at church who have kids who are my son's age which is 6 year old and under. I am sure all who would attend will have so much fun since I would like to do it in my place since there is a little park there as well as a swimming pool which is perfect for hot summer night. I would decorate it with hand made school décor and fill favor bags with these cool school items like: erasers, pencil, glue and crayons. Then last but not the least I will serve foods that are kids friendly like fruits, chicken nuggets, pizza, and juice. This party would very simple yet with lots of fun.

How about you? Are you planning to hold a party anytime soon? If so, I suggest that you check the website I came across with where you will find tons of ideas for any party you want. Ideas for party themes, decorations, foods and even party favors. You will be amazed with what you will find in there.

No one probably notices except you.
Are You a PMS Disaster?

Oceanfront Resort In Myrtle Beach

Living on the East Coast for a little over a year gave us a chance to visit beautiful places like Washington, DC where the Lincoln Memorial and White House are located, the beautiful Virginia Beach, and the famous Myrtle Beach in SC.

The best place we have ever been so far is obviously the Myrtle Beach where everything you could possibly ask for a great family vacation can be found. We have toured the whole place and we were amazed with what we have seen. There are plenty of activities the whole family will enjoy, fine restaurants to dine out with, shops and most of all perfect accommodations like the Resort in Myrtle Beach.

You can choose from either the Myrtle Beach Resort and the Oceanfront Hotel Myrtle Beach. But for me, I would love to stay at the Grande Shores Resort which is located also on the Oceanfront in beautiful Myrtle Beach that features features generously-sized one, two, and three bedroom condominiums to comfortably accommodate every size family, golf and vacation group, as well as affordable hotel rooms to fit every type of budget. If I were you, I would check their website now and book my reservation.

Managing Diabetes

I was diagnosed with type2 diabetes few months after I had kidney transplanted in me. The doctor said that it is normal; I just need to manage my eating habit which is not easy for me since I am also taking steroid that boosts my appetite. Just this morning, I went for a routine check up and found out that my blood sugar level in not that bad. Thank goodness! My doctor's worries is that my cholesterol is very high and so as my blood pressure. That is why he put me into Lipitor for cholesterol and Lisonpril for blood pressure. I hope that after two weeks of taking these medications, everything will be back to normal. Anyway, here are some tips on how to mange diabetes from RealAge.com

Managing diabetes comes down to one main goal: controlling your blood sugar levels. It's the key to reducing your risk of developing serious complications, such as heart disease, renal failure, nerve damage, and blindness. And making great meal choices can go a long way toward helping to keep your blood sugar levels within a healthful range.

When it comes to managing your blood sugar through your eating choices, don't think of it as dieting or saying no to yourself. Think of it as an un-diet -- where you focus on what you say yes to. Because the truth is, it's not about what you don't eat. It's about what you do eat. It's about choosing good foods, balancing your meals, and watching portion sizes. And eating regularly (no skipping!).

Here are just a few of the things you get to say yes to when you're eating for better blood sugar control.

Hearty grains: Those nutty, toasty whole-grain breads and cereals are so much more interesting than plain old white bread and cornflakes, right? This is definitely one area where eating right tastes great! Choose complex, high-fiber, whole-grain options whenever you include carbohydrates in a meal. We're talking whole-grain breads, cereals, and pasta, which will help keep your blood sugar steady.

The season's best: Those juicy, colorful fruits and veggies you see at the grocery store and farmers market? They're not a treat. They're a must. Because most fruit and veggies are nutrient rich, calorie poor, and fiber filled, they are an excellent choice for people with high blood sugar. Just keep it healthy by avoiding added sugars, butter, heavy cream, or sauces. Instead, use vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, and spices for your veggies, and eat your fruit whole.

Creamy treats: Yummy yogurts and savory cheeses are not off limits for you. In fact, to stay healthy, your body needs the protein, calcium, and other nutrients that dairy provides. Just choose low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese, yogurt, and sour cream products to keep your saturated fat intake down.

Perfect protein: Lovely broiled fish steaks, toasty nuts, crunchy chickpeas . . . sound like a hardship? It's not. Many of the healthier protein sources are also some of the tastiest. Choose lean cuts of meat, skinless chicken, omega-3-rich fish, eggs, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds to get your protein while reducing your saturated fat and cholesterol intake at the same time. And use low-fat cooking methods such as grilling, broiling, and stir-frying.

We would like to live someday in a countryside and probably retire there. We both love a quiet lives surrounded by beautiful views of the nature, where the air is fresh. I also dream of owning a house with beautiful interior design in a breathtaking location such as the Swiss Hotels found of course in Switzerland. But before that, we would like to travel to Switzerland, a place that encompasses the architectural style, cuisine and culture of the regional area.

If you are planning for a family vacation, you should go to Switzerland where great accommodations can be found on top of the beautiful sceneries. I am sure you will fall in love with the place as well as in one of Swiss Hotels like the Hotel 3 Könige & Post. This hotel occupies a quiet spot in the centre of Andermatt. It was here in this village, close to the ancient bridge, that post coaches used to put in one last stop before setting off across the Gotthard Pass. This is a great place to relax and stretch your legs, as Goethe himself once did. Especially as a pleasant family atmosphere pervades the whole house – from the exclusive restaurant to the cosy rooms and exquisite spa. There you will also find restaurants that serve tasty regional specialities of the Gotthard in an atmosphere typical of Canton Uri. So, what are you waiting for, visit their website now and explore authentic Swiss hotels. Then book your reservation right away!

Tooth Tales

Dental care is a common part of daily life in our age. But it wasn’t so long ago that those pearly whites weren’t so pearly. Toothpaste was invented only 100 years ago. Before that, after people figured out that brushing the teeth would preserve them longer, common tooth cleaners included ground-up charcoal, pulverized brick, lemon juice, and even a mixture of honey and tobacco. Early toothbrushes included the miswak, a twig or root which has been used in the Muslim world Golden Age. After toothpaste was invented, it wasn’t until World War II that brushing actually became popular in the U.S. Today, twice daily brushing is common, and flossing is becoming more standard. Dentists also recommend brushing after lunch or sweet snacks.

Live GPS Tracking Device

We have been living in Texas for seven years now; I still have not driven in other cities nearby. And if I drive by myself, I would probably get lost. I need my husband to be with me or I will not go myself. My cousin recommended that we should get ourselves a GPS Tracking device. This device can help me go places without any worry of getting lost. Although my husband doesn’t want one, I still want to buy one for me that way I can go anywhere I want and need to go without him. This device is also great for those who wants to keep track of their teenage kids.
