5 Fun Things to Do With Your Pillows

[ad_1] Everyone has pillows, but the question is what do you do with your pillows? Sure you can sleep on it like every one else in the world but what else do you do with your pillows? Decorate? Sit on them? Squeeze them between your legs? BORING! I"ve always wanted to know, "What can do with my pillows that are fun?" So I have come up with 5 fun things you can do with pillows. 1. If any of you have ever played the classic game "spoons" before then this game is for you! Today we are going to take spoons to the max with Ultimate Spoons! Rather than having the spoons sitting in front of you, collect all the pillows and blankets you can find and stash them in a pile. Then strategically hide the spoons through out the pile. When some one collects the necessary cards and shouts, "SPOONS!" Everyone dives in and wrestles to the death until all the spoons are found. Who ever is left with out a spoon is out! 2. Everyone likes to have a "good time" wit...

Canadian ETF Strategies: Why A Canadian Bond ETF Is Better Than Investing In Individual Bonds

[ad_1] Bonds are an integral part of every Canadian"s portfolio for good reason. Bonds carry the "promise" of fixed income with regular stable cash flows. But with interest rates hovering at all-time lows, the pressure to make every cent count has never been greater. Creating such exposure smartly can make all the difference in the returns. A portfolio for the average Canadian probably contains fixed income securities, otherwise known as bonds. Bonds are particularly attractive to those investors at or near retirement as they look to replace their regular and stable salary with a similar certain stream of interest income. Unfortunately purchasing bonds in Canada is not as easy or as cost effective as purchasing stocks. Unlike equities which trade on an open stock market exchange with fully transparent bid and ask prices, bonds in Canada have to be purchased through a "dealer network" which effectively removes all the efficiency and transparency of a fully funct...

How Father Time Can Make You A Fashion Icon

[ad_1] Time really does fly by and often it brings about certain psychological peculiarities in the fashion realm. Years ago I remember my elder"s talking and showing me their iconic fashion pieces such as their leather jacket, suit, coat, sunglasses, wallet, etc. Mentioning them as a matter of fact or sometimes with boastful pride that they"ve had these items far longer than I was as alive at the time. And because they were from a different era, they only had one signature piece that they wore regularly. These pieces were fashionable and functional, and still remained so decades after they bought them. Whether it was a question that the clothes matched the middle age person or if it was the clothes themselves as a stand-alone were the main attraction it"s a matter of opinion based on emotion. Fashion houses today produce hot & trendy stuff which are quickly forgotten in the next season, stuff which include replicas of those traditional Americana pieces. Despite th...

How Low Can You Go?

[ad_1] The State Children"s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) was founded in 1997 to provide health insurance for families earning too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to afford private insurance. The plan covered health insurance for almost 7 million children last year. Congress recently passed a proposal to expand the program from $5 billion yearly to $35 billion over a period of five years. George Bush, finding better things to do with the money than help disadvantaged children, vetoed the bill which would have increased coverage to 4 million more children by 2012. Bush claimed the bill would "federalize" health care. No money for children, but plenty of money for wars in the Middle East. We need $3 billion a week for Afghanistan and Iraq. A week! Give those kids an aspirin and tell them to wait awhile. No money for our kids, but plenty of money for Israel. Where do we find the recently approved $30 billion over the next 10 years defence aid for Israel? Do...

Stop Thieves From Stealing Your Laptop

[ad_1] 1. Use A Physical Lock The most basic way to protect your laptop is to secure it - with a physical lock. Laptop locks are pretty cheap and normally allow you to secure the laptop to a table or desk. Make sure you pick out a good quality laptop lock (I like Kensington laptop locks). 2. Set A Notebook Alarm A notebook alarm, you ask? Yes, there are notebook alarms, much like there are car alarms. You can buy and set a notebook alarm ensuring that it goes off when a thief tries to cut your laptop cable. It"ll definitely give the thieving fella a good scare! The Belkin notebook alarm below is quite a good buy. 3. Motion-Sensing Alarm Another kind of notebook alarm is the motion-sensing kind of alarm. These types of alarms effectively create a "force field" around your laptop. If a thief steps inside that zone, the alarm goes off. Very effective, and the Doberman security series is a good recommendation if you"re keen to get something like that. 4. Recov...

Most often, these "get rich quick" scams are advertised on telephone polls and in newspapers. We see them online or hear radio ads. They are even advertised in "infomercials" during late night television. Please try to avoid the following: · Making money by pestering people with email spam · Making money by stuffing envelopes · Earning thousands with as a home typist or data entry · Getting paid to take surveys · Earning easy commissions with MLM · Making millions from selling vitamins I am sure there are a million other scams out there.

If you pay money to go to conferences and seminars to learn guaranteed secrets from professionals, the only thing you can guarantee is that they will try to milk more mon...
