Our car is due for its annual registration next week but before that, hubs needs to renew the auto insurance first.  He has checked several online car insurance companies and also asked for insurance quotes.  Our budget is limited because there are other expenses to think about.  He wants to make sure he’s getting the best car insurance deal and comparing quotes is the best way to do it.

Well it’s a good thing that Al, my cousin, always thinks ahead and decided to have his RV covered.  On their way to Boston to spend Christmas with his wife’s relatives, the RV broke down.  It took only a phone call to get roadside assistance to come to their rescue.  Just imagine the trouble and the trauma it would have caused his family if he didn’t get his RV covered.  Good thing help was available immediately.

It’s nice to see your kids try to earn their own money.  Actually, I’m glad  (haha) because now that my daughter is earning a little from her  internet writing jobs, she doesn’t ask money from me or her dad anymore whenever she wants to buy something.  After saving up her income for several months, she recently purchased an Apple Ipod Touch.

What I really can’t understand is, what’s with these Mp3 Players that kids always dream of having the latest? Is it because new models don’t just play music?  I heard they are games consoles and portable video players at the same time.  Hay, kids.

On her last birthday, she asked her uncle for an Ipod Nano Video.  Now that she has the Ipod Touch, she handed down the Nano video to her brother.  That leaves the old black Nano that he’s been using to me, which I gladly accepted.  *Wink, wink.  At least I now have my own MP3 player without spending a dime.  They probably got tired of hearing my CDs every time I’m working out. They even offered to upload my songs there.  LOL.

Now I wonder how long she’s going to hold on to that Apple Ipod Touch, but I’m crossing my fingers.  I don’t want her to spend her future earnings for a new gadget anytime soon.

Blend 1 cup virgin olive oil and 1 cup organic butter.  Cover and refrigerate.  Enjoy a bowl of steamed mixed vegetables with a tablespoon of better butter over lunch and dinner.  This will help you get rid of belly bloat at the end of each day.  Studies show that the oleic acids in olive oil improve liver and gallbladder health.  An overburdened gallbladder is causing your weight gain, fatigue and belly bloat.

These healthcare jobs are pretty in demand these days and they are are expected to grow faster than any other industry.  I’m not even surprised that, despite hard economic conditions, the healthcare industry is hiring at an alarming rate.  My aunt wanted to change careers and took a short course, right after she graduated, she got a job!  Start giving your career a boost by choosing the most in demand jobs, you won’t be disappointed.

You worry when “itch” can’t get your little one sleep soundly at night.  Those dry, cracked, flaky spots, they are called eczema and should be treated immediately… scratching will only worsen it and may cause bleeding.  The right treatment will not only significantly reduce itch but will improve your child’s skin considerably.  And over time, he may never experience it again.  Get rid of that itch so he can sleep better at night.  And you can, too.
