Cell Phone Amplifiers

Now, here is something - cell phone amplifiers - that Mark and I have been wanting for a very long time. Over the years, we have spent a great deal of time in hospital rooms, doctors' offices, and ER waiting areas. There is nothing more frustrating, at 3:00am, than being unable to sleep and unable to distract yourself by surfing the 'Net on your phone.

I remember, more than once, sleeping in the waiting room that was down the hall from the ICU. Unlike the wards, I couldn't stay the night with Mark, so I had to use a really old reclining chair in a brightly lit room. No matter how tired one gets, it's nearly impossible to sleep when someone you love is in a coma.

Reading is a wonderful option and, believe me, I have worked my way through dozens of novels since 2004. One amazing thing about the VA are the kiosks, all over the place, with a huge selection of books. Believe it or not, a few months ago I picked up a book to keep me entertained while we waited to meet the oncologist, only to find I had read it before Mark's transplant in 2004.

Still, nothing beats being able to send and receive emails, IM your family and friends, and surf the web when you are desperately trying to not think about where you're at and why you're there.

Budgeting

I read a headline, recently, that made me shake my head and laugh. Apparently, people are now going to have to try this odd concept - budgeting. Really? Well, some of us have been doing that our entire lives.

Growing up in households that could barely make ends meet, Mark and I understand the concept of stretching a dollar until it hurts. In my case, no matter what my income was - or wasn't - able to cover, I still managed my finances with a fairly strict budget. It's amazing what you can do.

For example, I paid off a 60-month car loan in less than 48 months by budgeting a few dollars extra each month and making the payment a few days early. I didn't miss an extra five or ten dollars, and it made a HUGE difference in the loan. It's almost embarrassing the collectibles and sci-fi movies I was able to buy - after covering rent (on a 2-bedroom-with-den apartment), utilities, food for 2 people, food and vet bills for 4 cats, and car payments - while making less than $30K per year.

Do you want to live a comfortable life? Learn to live within your means by budgeting and choosing wisely.

Label World USA

One item that product-oriented businesses need is labels. Whether that product is food, beverages, cosmetics, computers, appliances, or furniture, labeling is critical to each business. A unique label sets a company's products apart and, when it is designed well, grabs the consumer's attention, resulting in increased sales.

Label World offers a wide range of labeling options for a wide range of businesses. Their wine label options, for example, have moved the industry from "glue and apply" to pressure sensitive labels, allowing wineries to design labels that spark customer interest. Different colored foils and auto-application help a winery to differentiate individual wines and speed up their production process.

This is a high-volume production process, focused on businesses that need the flexibility to design and create a truly customized product.

Performance Reviews

Whether you use performance reviews as an HR tool or as a part of product development, the process can be a real pain. Designing and generating effective questionnaires, distributing them to applicable employees and/or customers, tracking and following up on completion and return, and compiling the responses into a usable report is a lot of work. Arguably, more work than the information is worth, in many cases.

What if there was a way to quickly compile, distribute, and track such reviews without killing a forest or manually setting and sending reminders? Well, there is. Take a look at Halogen e360, ready-to-use straight out of the box, or fully customizable to fit any situation.

Exercise Equipment

It's not that I'm, necessarily, against working out or getting in better shape. I just don't like to sweat and, living in Arizona, that's not an easy thing to avoid. Then, there's the fact that I tend to jump into things with both feet and overdo.

Years ago, I had a set of free weights (marketed as 'smart-bells') that constitute the only exercise equipment I have ever owned. Eventually, after spending several days telling my youngest "Mommy can't pick you up, honey. Her arms don't work anymore." I did manage to improve the condition of my upper torso and arms.

It was, truth be told, not too bad. We had a flat coffee table that was the perfect height and width to substitute for an exercise bench. I'd work flat for the first few reps. Then, with a couple of books under one end I'd work several reps head up and several reps head down.

I really miss that coffee table.

Online Car Insurance

There are a lot of insurance companies that offer online car insurance quotes. Some even provide quotes from other companies on their website. The TV ads assure consumers that they can save a bundle by switching to this company or that. Yeah, right.

If I'm going to shop and buy online, I want to use a site that has no vested interest in my choice of company. How do I know that 'XYZ Insurance' is giving me a valid quote from 'BCD Auto Coverage' and 'RU Insured, Inc.'? Yes, I could go through the application process for each site, or call each company - but isn't that what I'm trying to avoid?

Luckily, there are more and more sites available that don't sell insurance themselves. They simply provide a location where one can compare coverage and rates and, if desired, purchase insurance. Much better.

Laptop Memory

Suffice it to say, I don't know anything about installing laptop memory. Heck, I'm not even sure what kind of memory to buy. But, it would be wonderful to have my laptop work faster.

Not to mention, our desktop is in desperate need of improvement. No matter how much maintenance Mark performs, it's still about 7 years old and just doesn't play nice. There are a couple of games that he loves. Sadly, they tend to bog down after an hour or so, causing amazing frustration.

It's nice to know that we can kick-start both computers for under $100.00, total.

Nanny 911

I have seen commercials for this series, but never actually watched it - until today. CMT is rerunning the show, starting with season one, so I managed to catch about an episode and a half. Quite an interesting experience.

If you've never seen it, the concept is pretty simple. Parents having difficulty raising their children - and that's putting it mildly, from what I saw - call 'Nanny 911'. An experienced nanny, chosen for her expertise, then spends a week with the family, teaching them parenting, coping, and communication skills.

Like the last family I watched, I was quite skeptical that one person in one week could make sufficient impact to undo years of problems. It took a lot of work by the families involved, including the kids, but it was incredible how much the family dynamic improved in just 7 days.

There are some great ideas offered by the nannies. If you're interested in seeing how it works - check out CMT's schedule.

GPS

Portable GPS systems are amazing. No matter where in the world you live, you can program these units to give you turn-by-turn directions. Of course, one does need to be careful. The news has been full of not-so-funny stories about turn left now scenarios that put drivers and their vehicles into the side of a building.

Perhaps, since I manage to get lost - too often - this is something (buildings notwithstanding) that could help me get around with a lot less stress.

Captioning

I have always wondered how the captioning happens on television stations. Today, I found a company that offers the service. It's fascinating.

There are two different types of captioning - roll-up and pop-on - that offer different options for TV stations. I was amazed at what they have to consider when providing this important service. And, honestly, I've seen captions that end up being bits of words and are loaded with typos.

You have to admire a company that can provide instant captions, without typos, that don't cover the TV picture. I know that I was impressed.

Branson Lots

In the next few months, our youngest will be turning 18. It's entirely possible that he will choose to live with his mother, who has no rules or chores. If that happens, Mark and I will, undoubtedly be moving. (We've stayed here so that the boys could have consistency and attend all four years of high school with their friends.)

My choice, given where I grew up, would be to move back to Colorado; Mark, for the same reason, wants to head east. As a compromise, I've been looking at a number of areas in between, including some gorgeous areas in Missouri.

I couldn't believe some of the Branson lots that are available. Such a beautiful area. It makes me reconsider my first choices. Plus, there are an amazing number of vacation options would allow us to experience the area, before committing to a permanent relocation.

Definitely adding this location to my list.

Vulcan Wants to Host Star Trek Premiere

As a trekker, I just love this story. What better place to premiere a Star Trek movie than Vulcan, Canada? Personally, I think it's a tremendous idea.

Yes, I'm a geek! and proud of it! I've attended conventions in the past and just loved how into it everyone is. Heck, I even met James Doohan, toward the end of his acting career.

Thank heaven Paramount changed personnel and attitude. The 'Trek' series have made that studio quite wealthy. It was insane, to me, that one idiot could decide to cancel such a lucrative franchise.

Lingerie

I've never been a huge fan of sites like Victoria's Secret, because it seemed that they focussed on the more well-endowed portion of the female population. It's not easy for those of us who aren't a C or D or larger, to find attractive lingerie. Not to mention, if we aren't 'curvy' there is very little out there that works for us.

So often, items come in small, medium, or large. Well, that doesn't work for a lot of women. My top is smaller than my bottom, and my waist is not slender enough to match the one-size-fits-all range. That doesn't make me unattractive or mean that I wouldn't like to be able to buy something that looks sexy - on me, not on someone's ideal of me.

Hopefully, someday, I'll find a place that understands me.

Hansgrohe Faucet

Okay, we have serious faucet issues. The one on the bathroom sink is at least 20 years old. Most of the plating is pitted, corroded, and/or falling off. It has got to go!

In the shower, we don't even have a handle. We use a pair of pliers to turn the water on, since Michael keeps destroying the fixture. And don't even ask about the shower head.

So, naturally, I went shopping. (Hey, it's what I do!) If you've never seen a Hansgrohe faucet, you don't know what you're missing. These fixtures are beautiful and the sleek lines fit any decor.

Zero Gravity Recliner

I hadn't heard of a zero gravity recliner, until recently. Now, I want one - badly. Mark and I both have bad backs - the price of being tall, it seems. Arthritis and compressed discs makes sitting, standing, and lying down uncomfortable.

What this recliner does is place the body in a position that is similar to astronauts during take-off - legs higher than the heart, at a very specific angle - effectively removing all additional pressure on the spine. Can you imagine how amazing that would feel? Right now, I can only sit or stand in one position for a short time. Then, I have to shift to relieve the discomfort in my back.

To quote Will Smith's character in Independence Day: "I gotta get me one of these!"

Low Vision Aids

One of the joys (?) of getting older is a change in vision. I've always worn glasses, well since the 2nd grade, and my vision got progressively more near-sighted as I got older. In the last few years, something new and interesting started happening - thanks to advancing age. My vision started 'improving'.

As we age, we tend to become more far-sighted - less able to see closer objects. As Bing Crosby put it in White Christmas, we start "playing the trombone." For someone as myopic as I am, these changes mean that what I had to hold under my nose to see before, I can now see at a distance of over a foot.

Mark, however, had perfect vision. The same changes that are helping me, cause him so much trouble that we have had to find low vision aids to help him see. Our apartment is, despite the sunny Arizona weather, generally quite dark, which means we have to have strategically placed lighting. Depending on whether he's reading his phone or his computer or directions on a frozen pizza, Mark has different strength reading glasses for each situation.

I'm seriously thinking about getting him a 'big-print' keyboard, as well. He's definitely not a touch-typist, so seeing the letters on the keys is critical. For a while, he had a black keyboard for the desktop that drove him crazy. We got an ivory one that's not as bad, but I know we can do better.

Tool Storage

One of the most difficult things about living in an apartment is finding a place for all of the tools that we use on a regular basis. It's not just a hammer and a couple of screwdrivers. We need tool storage for drills, wrenches, pliers, sockets and ratchets, and a myriad of things for working on the truck and the bicycles. Plus, it has to be a solution that let's us get at what we need, without rearranging the entire apartment.

Currently, we have things stashed in a tool box, plus most every spare inch of space we could find. It's a reasonable compromise. Just don't look in my closets.

Checking Accounts

The one thing that I truly hate is trying to find a bank that offers great checking accounts. When I lived in Michigan, I had a tremendous bank with amazing FREE services. I honestly didn't think I'd find an equivalent when I moved to Arizona. I guess I had developed East Coast snobbery. (Don't tell my family in Colorado; I won't get to visit for Memorial Day.)

Luckily, there are some tremendous financial institutions that even have branches in Arizona!

Talkswitch

There are a lot of business phone system options. Some of the best, like Talkswitch offer the ability to customize. Having looked at a lot of systems lately, it's nice to be able to get what I want, not some mass-marketed setup that doesn't suit my needs.

For example, the Talkswitch 240vs is just the right size and the features are perfect. Between voicemail, multi-level auto attendants, innovative remote extensions and sophisticated call handling features, my little business doesn't have to look small. The standard connections and free PC configuration software, mean I can set it up or change it in a snap. Why pay someone to do something you can do yourself? Not to mention, it offers music on hold and I don't need to buy special phones.

If you're looking for a larger system, don't worry. Neobits offers over 15 different brands of phone systems that work for businesses with anywhere from 2 to 250 users. Already know which manufacturer you prefer? You can find it here, because Neobits has Avaya, Panasonic, NEC, Allworx, Epygi, Astra, D-Link, and many more. Many of the phone systems also support VoIP calls, so that businesses don't have to incur huge long distance charges - always a good thing, in my book.

Moving Blankets

If you've ever moved anything larger than a toaster, you've seen or used moving blankets. I would imagine it's possible to safely move antiques, big screen TVs, or heirlooms without covering them, but why would you? There is nothing worse than arriving at a new home, only to find that one of your treasured belongings has been damaged.

So, the only question is which type of blanket is best for your situation. Typically, moving blankets, which also make great pads for larger items, come in a variety of sizes, but two basic fabric styles. The first, which is more durable and more expensive, is a strong, woven synthetic fabric. A less expensive version is made of non-woven fabric over thick cotton batting, to protect against dings and scuffs.

You don't have to be preparing for a move, however, to benefit from using these padded blankets. If, like us, you need to store furniture that just doesn't fit in your current home, moving pads are a great solution. Pulling items in and out, or rearranging storage space, can also result in scratches and dents. With the available styles and sizes at US Cargo Control, you're sure to find just what you need to protect your treasures.

Mailboxes

I've been shopping again. But it's not my fault; really! Mark and I were talking about mail delivery, back when we were young and the mailman had to get out of his truck at every house. In the neighborhood where I grew up, all of the post-WWII houses were the same exact size and shape. The only thing that made each home unique, besides the paint colors, were the mailboxes.

Back then, residential mailboxes were pretty simple: a rectangular metal box, hung by the front door, with a hinged lid and two pieces of curved metal underneath for magazines or a curved-top box, mounted on a simple wooden post, with a hinged front door and a mail-to-pick-up flag that sometimes even stayed up. Utilitarian, but not necessarily attractive. Not any more - I checked! Now, these mailboxes are amazing, artistic items, crafted with style. I've already picked a couple that I want in front of my house, once I get my house.

Although, when I was checking out commercial mailboxes - you know I can't resist any shopping page - I found some security mailboxes that really made me stop and think. With all of the identity theft these days, it might not be a bad idea to use something that's going to be really difficult to break into. Nice to know that I have lots of options.

And lots of reasons to keep shopping!

Nutritional Supplements

Now that we've gotten through the holidays and all of the yummy things that taste great, but aren't too healthy or good for you, I've been thinking a lot about diet and nutrition. Not really one for vitamins, especially if I have to take them more than once a day, it's time for me to find nutritional supplements that work for my lifestyle. Since I really don't know much about these things, I've been researching like crazy.

At my age, I really like the idea of a supplement that will help my hair, skin, and nails. Just slathering on moisturizer isn't enough anymore. Not to mention, it would be really nice to get in the habit of taking a B-Complex for stress, with vitamin C for my aging immune system. Who knows? I might just get healthy in the New Year!

Think Green!

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is encouraging residents to make 'green' resolutions for the New Year and is posting green tips every week on their website. Although aimed at citizens of the Sunshine State, these great ideas will work no matter where you live.

• Change your incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent ones to save energy;
• Eliminate paper waste by recycling to save trees and water;
• Use your computer's sleep mode, instead of the screen saver to cut energy use by 60 to 70 percent;
• Purchase reusable shopping bags to keep plastic and paper bags out of landfills;
• Use 'green' cleaners to keep dangerous chemicals out your home and your local water supply.

These are only a few ideas that can have an amazing impact on the environment. Check out Green Tips or look for great ideas, sponsored by your state.

Internet Dating

With all of the websites out there where you can meet singles, how do you know which one is right for you? I can't even imagine trying to sort them all out. Not to mention, there have been statements from one site about another site refusing to help people who don't meet a specific criteria.

Now, there's a site, 5 Star Dating, that takes the guesswork out of picking an online dating or matchmaking service. They research all of these dating sites and provide information about the available options. Why hunt all over the Internet for a Christian dating site that understands who you are and what you want, when you can read about all of the most reliable sites in one place?

One of the sections that I really like is the Dating Digest, filled with helpful tips, first-date advice, and interesting articles all about dating. If you're new in town or just aren't meeting the right people, why not give 5 Star Dating a look?

Pre-owned and Estate Jewelry

I have always been extremely picky about jewelry. So many modern designs just don't work for me. But I always seem to find something wonderful through estate jewelry sales. The lovely old pieces just have so much character and they were created to become heirlooms.

Of course, then there are those great sites that offer classic, used rolex watches or help people who need or want to sell diamond jewelry. It's just amazing what designer pieces are available at truly terrific prices.

I've even started a post-Christmas fund, toward a couple of really beautiful pieces that I found online.

NORAD Tracks Santa

Ever since I was small, there were tracking reports on Santa's progress. We used to listen intensely to the radio, just waiting to hear when Santa made it to our state, then our county. Mom would rush us off to bed with admonishments that Santa wouldn't come if we were awake.

Now, tracking Santa has gone high tech. NORAD has a website where you and your little ones can actually watch Santa get closer to your house. If that's not enough, Google Earth has added a Santa Tracker that you can download to see Santa and his reindeer in 3D, and more of his stops around the world.

Bring the excitement of Christmas Eve right into your own home. Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Pet Friendly Hotels

Hotels are offering more and more amenities these days, but it can be difficult to find pet friendly hotels at a reasonable rate. I was pleased, since we have 'Paka' to consider when we travel, to find a site that helps. The search function is very simple to use and offers a number of options in any city.

We've been planning a weekend in Prescott for a while now, but couldn't leave our 'baby' alone that long. Now, for the same price we would have paid anyway, we can take him with us. With his carrier and bowls in tow, we can tour the area and enjoy ourselves, without worrying. You can't put a price on that.

Web Hosting

It's easy to find a template and throw a website on the Internet. What isn't easy is finding a reliable hosting service. Believe me, I have looked at a number of options and, between the costs and the limitations, some services are a bit scary.

But there are easy ways to find what you need. For example, http://www.webhostingchoice.com offers an advertisement-free way to look for a host that offers all of the options you need, while eliminating all of the hosts that don't fit your requirements. This searchable directory allows you to enter the amount that you want to pay each month, any set-up costs you're willing to incur, and how much bandwidth and storage space you need.

If you don't know how much storage or bandwidth is right for you, don't worry. There is a Learning Center, filled with information to help out.
