One of the things that I really like about the Internet is how easy it is to compare products and services, without having to leave the house. I was just remembering some very old television commercials about using the telephone book’s Yellow Pages where the jingle was “Let your fingers do the walking….” Now with the Internet, the fingers can still do the walking, but without even having to make a phone call!
For example, if I go to negquote.com I can compare different New Mexico insurance companies, policies, and rates between a lot of different companies! All I have to do is fill out a short form and click on submit. Then just sit and wait for the information to come in! How easy is that!?
Come the end of April I will have the pleasure of ending my 2 year contract with AT&T, who is my current cell phone provider. I’ve been doing a bit of research online to find the best provider to hook up with when the time comes. There are sites out there that allow you to compare plans and companies, which is pretty cool. Anything to make the task at hand an easier one.
With Mother’s Day coming up in another month, I’ve been looking around for gift idea for my dear mother. She can be a challenge to buy for, but I think that I’ve stumbled across something this year at Bluedail.com. They have a great selection of some nice affordable Seiko Automatic Watches there and I like that they offer free 2nd day shipping and that they accept PayPal for payment. That is always a plus with me and more online businesses really need to start considering accepting Pay Pal.
Anyway, I really like the look of this particular watch. My mother is a tiny little thing and can’t wear anything big and bulky. And since pink is her favorite color I think she will love it. I can only try!
Speaking of Country singers, one of my favorites is Ms Reba McEntire. I found this video today on You Tube of her version of Fancy, in my opinion it is top notch. I miss her TV show, but then nothing good lasts forever, as they say. Hope you enjoy the song and the video.
A buddy of mine bought some real good tickets to concerts at the Houston Rodeo which is currently under way. But his mother has become ill and he will not be able to attend. He has been asking around to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing them from him, actually at this point he would be willing to just give them away so as not to see them go to waste. I personally would love to go, but it is too last minute for me to make arrangements. Even though I am self employed and have a bit of flexibility I still have obligations to meet that I need to tend to.
I haven’t been to a rodeo is a long time. There really isn’t a big call for rodeos up here in Maine, so the choices are pretty limited. But I have been to a few, out of state, and they really are a blast. Something that a lot of people are in to and I’m glad that they are still popular. They are usually affordable and you definitely get your monies worth, the events go on for a good long time and there is a lot going on all the time.
The Houston Rodeo is offering entertainment after the rodeo and has plenty of top name performers lined up this year. I looked it up online and they have Gary Allen, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson and many more performing this year. Maybe next year, if I get my ducks in a row I’ll see about attending. It should be a blast.
