Keep Expenses Low

The following post is sponsored.

I know things have been quiet at the main site lately. I recently renewed the domain through May 2014 and I realized that I haven’t posted here for some time. There has been a steady stream of posts at Party List though. I added a post yesterday at Paul Spangler. I hope you have time to read them.

I also hope you have time to enjoy the mid-spring weekend that’s upon us. Some of the country still looks and feels like winter but much of the U.S. is quite pleasant. Before you know it, the summer driving season will be at hand.

Saving money is important. The economy is slowly improving. At least, the worst seems to have passed except for places like Cyprus. Nonetheless, finding bargains remains critical. No one wants to waste cash.

I mentioned the summer driving season. Obviously, driving involves vehicles. Having a car means you’ll need car insurance. California, as do some other states, requires drivers to carry proof of insurance. Without it, one will incur fines and penalties should he be stopped.

You don’t want such trouble. Having your car impounded would end your holiday driving plans before they begin. You want to get adequate coverage. You also want to get the best possible deal. Balancing cost and value can be tricky. Get as much information as you can before making a decision.

Wherever you live, saving money is a smart idea. If you are looking for cheap auto insurance Houston, click the link for more information. If you must have car insurance, there’s no need to spend more than necessary.

I hope you are doing well today. Have a great day and a fabulous weekend. Thanks as always for visiting. I appreciate your support and I promise I’ll post more frequently.

Save Big Through Auctions at DealDash

The following post is sponsored.

When I heard about DealDash, I visited the site. Click the link for more information. I’ve been to some auction sites. You’ve likely seen some sites advertise.

As I type these words, I’m watching some people bid on a 17-inch black laptop. The computer retails for $849 but the current bid price is about $25.50. Every ten seconds, someone has to top the existing high bid and the item is sold.

Every new bid raises the price by exactly one cent. The timer is reset. Some newer auctions have 30- and 20-second clocks. The auctions usually disallow jumpers after the price reaches five dollars. I used to call them “vultures,” meaning people who would quietly gauge an auction and swoop into the bidding at the last minute to claim the item.

In addition, after a certain time, no new bidders are allowed. At least, you know your competition. Each bid costs 60 cents. Losing bidders may reclaim the bids they used for free on a item by buying said item at retail price.

I’d take advantage of the Christmas sale, which lasts until midnight Jan. 8 Pacific time. Bids can be bought for 13 cents each. If you want to save money, there’s a good way to begin. I hope you have a great week.

Blue Shield Offers Advice from Dr. Jim and Bob

This post brought to you by © Blue Shield of California. All opinions are 100% mine.

I wish you and yours a great holiday season.  Mid-December is here.  Soon 2012 will be gone.  If the Mayans are right, we'll be gone soon.

I'm choosing to proceed as though the world won't end next week.  In that case, health will remain important.  A popular New Year's resolution is to improve one's physical condition.

Maybe you want to lose weight.  Perhaps you want to get stronger.  Maybe you want to be in better condition so you can run a marathon.

There are many reasons to be healthier and there are almost as way to do so.  There are also plenty of advice givers.  One I think you'll like is Dr. Jim and Bob's Fun & Helpful Health Advice.

I would like to stop snoring.  Dr. Jim and Bob have a video to offer advice for me.  Other topics include athlete's foot, muscle cramps and blisters for you would-be marathoners.

Dr. Jim and Bob are brought to you by Blue Shield, a non-profit company.  Blue Shield offers easy access to great doctors and a variety of affordable health plans.

In addition, Blue Shield provides simple ways to get alternative care, such as acupuncture and chiropractors.  Blue Shield can help you achieve your goal of better health.

Courtney Hansen Visits South Africa, SEMA

The following post is sponsored.

Courtney Hansen posted on her Facebook page that she was recently in South Africa. I look forward to visiting South Africa sometime. Soon after her return to the U.S., she was at SEMA in Las Vegas.

Courtney Hansen is very beautiful. She knows much more about cars than do I. Although, as I’ve written previously, most people know much more about cars than do I. I don’t think most people are TV hosts, models and actors, unlike Ms. Hansen.

She’ll surely be on television screens more often in the future. Until then, best wishes to you. I hope you have a great weekend.

Need a Band?

I hope you had a great weekend. If you live in the U.S., remember that Tuesday is Election Day. I have been to one wedding in my life. My brother got married six years ago. There was no band at his reception. There was a DJ who people seemed to like.

After his marriage, I thought a lot about weddings for awhile. My girlfriend isn’t interested in marriage so I’ve not given much thought to ceremonies lately. I know I’d want people to dance and to be happy. I think a good band would help encourage people to be livelier, similar to the way bands inspire movements in other settings.

Having your band cancel shortly before your wedding would be a big problem. You wouldn’t find any humor in it. Nor should you. You probably don’t have enough money to hire an expensive party planner. However, you do want a memorable wedding. You want to work with professional people who will honor their commitments.

If you want information about bands for weddings, click the link. Function Junction is an entertainment agency that has a wide range of bands in its stable. You will surely find one you like for your special occasion.
