I must visit Arizona some day

by

I was just thinking about our recent trip to Las Vegas and how lovely the scenery was as we flew over Arizona and Nevada.

We got to see a bit of the Grand Canyon from the airplane window and the rest of the landscape we saw was so beautiful! I love the red rock and rich colored sands of Arizona.

I’d love to visit the State sometime. Hey perhaps when I get older I’ll even look for Arizona real estate and retire there. Why not? So many other people go to Arizona to retire.

I wish I’d thought of trying to take some photos from the plane. They probably wouldn’t be that great, but I could at least have shown you what I saw from so far above.

Have you been to Arizona? Is it as lovely as I think it is?





Every thing is new to our puppy

by

We’ve been having a lot of fun with our puppy.

It seems she was raised in a barn so just about everything within our home is new to her.

The poor thing didn’t even know how to climb stairs – even short two step ones, until she got here. I was fine with that though because the stairs inside our house are hardwood and I think they might be quite slippery for her, plus the stairway is open along one side so there’s literally a risk of falling off them.

My husband has been teaching her to climb the stairs outside the house. I didn’t know he was doing that, but she can now climb the front and back stairs!

And now she can climb the stairs within our house too!

Last night when Chris went to bed she headed for the stairs and ran halfway up them before she realized what she was doing. Then she got nervous and stopped. Since I think our stairs are a hazard for her I’m going to have to find a way to block them off. With only one stairway wall though we can’t even put a baby gate at the bottom though, so I’m thinking of putting some boxes on the stairs to block her way.

Now, I was saying that everything is new to her. For example, I don’t think she’d ever heard a radio, seen a television set, or heard a phone ring. It’s been fun to watch her reactions to them. They don’t scare her at all, but she’ll occasionally bark at the TV. I think she thinks the people on it are really in the room. I’m sure it doesn’t help that we have a large screen television set so the people are fairly large.

She’s obviously never been around microwave ovens either. She turns her head from side to side when the microwave is on listening to the hum and trying to figure out what it is. Then when the timer goes off and the microwave dings she barks. I can’t figure that out since she doesn’t bark at the phone when it rings.

I think she’ll have been exposed to just about everything in our home that moves or makes a sound soon and then she won’t have these funny reactions anymore, but it sure is fun to watch her.

Great deals on electronics at TechBargains

by

The holidays will be here soon and if you are like me you’ve started to shop and you’re probably watching for sales and bargains so that you can get some great gifts for your family and friends.

You might want to check out Techbargains.com. They have all kinds of deals on electronics such as HDTVs, GPS systems, cheap digital camera, iPods, LCD displays, Notebooks, cell phones and many other products that would make ideal gifts.

TechBargains has exclusive deals coming out all the time. If you really want to get a bargain it would be in your best interest to sign up for their email deal alert which you can customize to fit your interests. By this I mean that when you sign up for email deal alerts you can add keywords or pick a specific category and when deals come up for products in those categories or that match your keywords you’ll get an alert.

There’s also an email newsletter each week that highlights the best deals of the week.

Other ways to keep an eye on deals and bargains at TechBargains would be to subscribe to their RSS feed or visit their webpage using your mobile phone. You can even sign up for their mobile RSS feed if you prefer to use your cellphone to keep track of potential deals on great tech products.

I like that the site is constantly updated. They even do updates on weekends and holidays so no matter when you check the site you can find some new bargains.

I found that the site is very easy to use. You can navigate easily by using the tabs at the top of each page. For example if you wanted to check to see if there were any coupon deals for Dell products you could just click on the coupons tab and then select Dell at the top of the page. Otherwise you could just scan through the whole list of coupons to possibly find a discount on an item that you want to purchase.

There’s also a tab for rebates. I love rebates. Sometimes you can get quite a discount on an item that has a rebate coupon.

There are thousands of items listed at Techbargains. Once you find an item that you want to buy you can read the product descriptions and even do product comparisons. I think you’ll find Techbargains quite helpful as you shop for holiday gifts for your loved ones this year.

Tons of photos whenever anything new is purchased!

by

One of my brothers is really into electronics and cars. Whenever he buys a new computer, a new television or any other gadget he sends tons of photos by email. He barely says anything in these emails … it’s just huge picture after huge picture.

I have no idea why he does this. I think I’m going to have to teach him how to use Flickr or another free photo storage place!

His latest set of photos were of his new car. The photos included the cars interior, exterior, car spoilers and well, everything!

I think he’s just so proud of what he’s purchased that he’s got to show it off right way by sending us 40 megabytes of photos!

Do you have any relatives that are like that?

Pet health insurance?

by

Now that we’re getting a puppy I’m happy that I’ll finally have a pet that I can get health insurance for … you see I’ve always had reptiles and I don’t think there’s any companies that offer health insurance for reptiles. I can see them not offering life insurance policies for any pets, but all animals should be able to have health insurance coverage shouldn’t they?

We’ve spent a lot of money at veterinarian offices over the years caring for our pets. Now that we’re getting a dog I think I might seriously look into those pet policies.

Do any of you have health insurance policies for your pets? Are they worth it or do you find that you spend more on them than you would with your normal vet visits?
