Hard to believe that Labor Day is coming up and summer will be over. I hope we don’t go directly into winter and that we get a chance to enjoy a nice autumn season this year. Next thing you know the holidays will be upon us, once again, I’m so not ready for all of that. What I am ready for is a round or two of golf at one of the better Myrtle Beach golf courses that I’m hearing so much about.
It seems that Myrtle Beach golf packages are selling like hot cakes this year. Since BP has messed up so many of the other beaches people are flocking to Myrtle Beach for fun in the sun and the ocean. I’ve always enjoyed spending time at Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach is my favorite area of all.
Did you know that you can go to http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net and book your tee times and your accommodations as well? A one stop shop kind of place, well worth checking out. We still have a little bit of decent weather left in us, at least I sure hope so!
I have been getting so much grief from people concerning the fact that I have not signed up and participated with the well known Face Book community. Face Book seems to be every where you turn these days. So this week end I’ll take a look around and see if it is anything that I can get a handle one.
I can remember when I was a teenager, it was so easy to go to a party where there were drugs and/or alcohol being served to anyone who asked for it.
Even the parents of the teenagers often looked the other way when their kids were partying, saying that they’d rather have them doing it at home where they are safe. Because of that, I have had a difficult time letting my own kids go out to parties; I can remember how wild and crazy they can get!
Teenage drinking is no joke; teen addiction statistics are very scary. They seem to be getting worse than ever. In many ways we think that teens have a better life than we do, and maybe that is part of the problem. Maybe they have too much leisure time!
Fortunately, teen rehab info is an up and coming service that can help address the special needs of a teenager who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. But it truly is a sad statement of the times that we even have a need for teen rehab in the first place!
The subject of over-indulging alcohol is often the butt of many jokes. I found this funny commercial on youtube. I think that it makes a fine point about the dangers of drinking too much!
I have to admit that I am really envious of today’s youthful students. When I was in high school, the only way to get the right Math answers was to figure it out for yourself, ask your parents for help, or call the smartest kid in the class and ask for help over the phone. Fortunately for me, the smartest kid in the class was a nice kid who didn’t mind helping me out from time to time.
Since the age of the personal computer, and the Internet have arrived on the scene, there are so many advantages in life for today’s young folks. It doesn’t take very long for them to find out about the many different Online tutoring services that can be used to help kids to understand their homework problems.
Free math tutoring online is available with just a few clicks of the mouse to any Internet-savvy student. I find it amazing what the Internet can do to enrich all of our lives!
It really does pay to know some one who can help with your PC issues. I have become spoiled by our ITs at work that are at our beck and call when ever a computer problem rears its ugly head. They aren’t always as quick about it as I’d like but at least they do what they can, with what they have. Budget cutbacks have made their department a nightmare to work for, so I have to cut them some slack in that area.
I enjoy picking their brains when I have the chance to. They know all about dedicated server issues, the best managed hosting information and colocation particulars that most people, like me, know little or nothing about. We have a few people in our family that are pretty good with computers but they are always busy or have an attitude (this family is always having an attitude with somebody) and can’t always be counted on.
I wish that I had had the insight, back in the days of choosing a profession/occupation to have gone to computer school. There will always be a need for computer help, just like there will always be a need for an Undertaker, depressing but so true.
I found this on youtube, supposedly it was a banned commercial. I thought it was cute, and see no reason for it to have been banned. I wonder if it was just titled as banned to get attention? What do you think?
My father tells me that Myrtle Beach is a golfer’s paradise. There are hundreds of golf courses there, and a lot of other entertaining things to do; shows, amusement parks, and the lure of the clean ocean beaches. He’s suggested that we join him and my mother for a long weekend there in November.
My wife and I were looking at the http://www.horizonmyrtlebeach.com web page to get a better idea of what are the Myrtle Beach best hotels for being able to spend some time at the beach, but also be close to the shows and amusement parks. I’d like to have a Myrtle Beach hotel that is set up like a condo – with several bedrooms and a kitchen and living room. We could share that with Mom & Dad to split the expense, but also have room to spread out and relax.
I enjoy watching funny videos. I found this today on youtube. It was listed as a funny commercial; I didn’t think it was very funny until the very end. Then, I got it. I like Pepsi, don’t you?
The Beatles are hitting their 70′s, imagine that. I heard that Ringo just celebrated his 70th birthday and performed on that night. The big buzz is that Paul actually showed up for a short cameo appearance. It’s about time Paul got his act together.
Here is one of my favorite Beatle tunes, thanks to YouTube.com for allowing me to listen to all the tunes, past and present.
OK, I’ve decided that it is time to check into getting a decent security video camera and one of the security systems that I’ve seen online with ADT. They have been around for a very long time and have a good reputation, they must be doing something right considering all of their little yard signs that I see dotting the lawns around the neighborhoods.
Times are not getting any better for people. The crime rates are still on the rise, with folks getting very desperate in order to survive. Druggies are even getting bolder with their thieving in order to keep up with their habits. Home break ins are becoming an every day occurrence and making the headlines more and more. It just ain’t right. More people are buying dogs and purchasing large dogs as well in an effort to protect their home, property and their loved ones. But I’m more of a security systems type of guy at this point.
ADT offers a backup battery and equipment guide features. We are always losing power out here so having a battery backup is a must. Some times we are without power for days and that could turn into a nightmare, considering the circumstances. Crooks would and could take advantage of a long time power outage and people could get hurt. So I’m glad that I did my research online and found ADT. They have a variety of packages available according to your needs and wants, it’s all good as far as I’m concerned.
It is funny how those all too familiar blue tarps really catch your eye, in people’s yards and on many trucks that are loaded with materials that can’t get wet. I personally have never liked the look of a blue tarp and I’m glad that they are now making them in different colors that aren’t as bright and gaudy looking. I mean really, if you have a bright green truck that you take pride in the way it looks, why would you want a bright blue tarp distracting from the way it looks.
Maybe I’m just a bit too picky, but I guess it’s just a thing with me. I much prefer a clear tarp, or a nice clean looking canvas tarp, they just look a bit more classy all the way around. Having access to the Internet you can even find numerous sites that offer custom made tarps that really look sharp. Next time I have a need to replace any of my tarps you can bet that I’ll be taking advantage of some of the good deals that I have seen online lately, much better than Home Depot, Lowes or Walmart has to offer, I can tell you that!
I think that I have a pretty good idea why so many young adults feel entitled to start at the very top of everything that they do. In addition to being spoiled rotten by their parents, the electronic age we are in makes it amazingly easy to get instant gratification in so many ways. When I was in school, for example, if I needed Statistics help I would have had to ask my teacher in school to recommend a Statistics tutor to study with after school. Then most of the time, I’d have to pay some real money for the service!
But now, with the Internet such an embedded part of our lives, it is easy to get free Statistics help online in the comfort of your own home. No longer will the Statistics problems the students are struggling with need to wait until the next day; just a few mouse clicks and the students get all the help they need! Yes, today’s children certainly live the life of Riley!
If it’s one thing I’ve learned in the past couple of decades, is that there really is no such thing as financial security. So many of my elderly relatives went to work for companies that had absolutely no retirement plan whatsoever, and now that they have retired they are dismayed to learn that they can’t survive on Social Security alone. That is why my wife and I have started to get involved in saving our money in various ways in preparation for retirement.
To start out with, we each have IRA Accounts that we try to contribute to every year. That’s a lot harder to do than you can imagine! My wife has learned a little bit about Stock Trading and takes advantage of the companies that you can buy stocks from directly and then reinvest the dividends from them. She’s bought into a few companies using Online Trading services as well. We don’t have much money to invest, but we are trying hard to divest it so that we don’t have all of our eggs in one basket.
A couple of buddies of mine are planning a trip to New York City and have asked me if I would like to come along. They are thinking that the end of September would be a good time to hit “The Big Apple” it sounds good to me. The holidays are the best time to go to the big city, but the crowds are a pain, so September might just turn out to be a good choice for us.
There are so many things to see and do in New York. Of course we will make sure and see some good shows while we are there. I have been asked to check out some of the venues online, since I am pretty good on the computer, so I have taken some time to see what type of shows are going to be running them. The Internet makes this task a much easier one to take on. I’ve checked into some IZOD CENTER TICKETS as well as some JONES BEACH THEATRE TICKETS and they are much more affordable then I first thought, which is a pleasant surprise. New York isn’t known for being cheap what-so-ever, if you know what I mean!
It will be too late in the year to utilize any of the Central Park Summerstage TICKETS that are being heavily advertised, but that is all right, there is a huge variety of events to pick from and I have my work cut out for me trying to please every one’s taste, wants and needs, but I’m up for it and look forward to the challenge.
Myrtle Beach has always been a great place to get-a-way to. It was one of our favorites back in the day for the whole family to take our vacation to, something for everybody could be found at Myrtle Beach. I haven’t been able to visit Myrtle Beach in several years and I look forward to seeing the changes that have taken place since I’ve been there last.
I reserved a bit of my tax refund money for a nice summer vacation this year, it has been a long year and a vacation is way over due. I found a great Myrtle Beach hotel online at http://avistaresort.com. The Avista Resort is one of the many oceanfront resorts located in the North Myrtle Beach area and it has been designated as America’s “Number One Family Beach” I like that it is only two walkable blocks away from the famous Main Street that has such a wide variety of things to see and to do.
There are tons of resorts in Myrtle Beach that can be checked out on the Internet, what a great way to find the best one to suite my needs and wants. I look forward to playing a few rounds of golf while I’m there. I come from a family of golfers and we used to always make time to play a game or two during the family vacations back in the 70′s, it’s a good sport for the whole family to enjoy all year round.
I’ll make sure and take plenty of pictures and will post a few here shortly after my return.
As much as I would love to be able to cruise the streets in a brand new bmw m5, my tax refund check wasn’t even being close enough to being hefty enough to afford that kind of vehicle, yet. My refund check was a good one this year and I have been doing a ton on research online ever since I sent in all the paperwork to the I.R.S back in March. At first I was pretty much dead set on purchasing a Subaru, whether its was a subaru legacy or a subaru outback, that took some time to figure out which would be the best choice for my needs and wants. I even went to a local Subaru dealership and took some test drives on several of their models that they had on the lot. They were some sweet vehicles, I can tell you that!
After talking up the Subarus with friends and family these past couple of months, I kept being told how great the toyota land cruiser is so I took the time to check into that make and model of Toyota. The Car Connection has a great website that made the whole process a much easier task to take on. The Internet sure makes things a lot easier when looking for a large purchase such as this. I remember the days of having to drive from dealership to dealership, in and out of town in order to find the perfect vehicle, what a long and painful process that was. I’m glad that I didn’t have to deal with numerous car salesmen in order to get all the information that I needed this time around!
Isn’t she a pretty looking SUV? She is big and she is powerful with her V-8 under the hood that will be sporting a nice denim blue color paint job on her.
Getting older changes a whole lot of different things. I have started to notice that my taste in the clothes that I have been wearing is changing. I no longer prefer to wear my blue jeans day in and day out. They just don’t seem to fit the way that they used to and they don’t feel comfortable as they did back in the day. I never thought that I would not feel right in a pair of Levi’s, but that is now the case. I’ve taken to looking for pants with elastic waist bands that will allow my stomach some much needed freedom. Getting a thicker waist in life is inevitable and my time has come to have to deal with that issue, sigh….
At Blair.com I’ve found some pretty decent deals on their men’s elastic waist pants. I enjoy shopping online, I’ve never been the type that enjoys going shopping, especially for clothes. So online shopping is definitely the way to go for people like me. There are always good deals to be found and since I’m on the computer so much it is ever so convenient and really works for me. I think more and more people are shopping online throughout the year, not only during the Christmas holiday season.
Since this is supposed to be a really hot summer this year, I’m looking into finding some shorts with the elastic waist band. Hot legs was a good rock song back in the 80′s but having hot legs in the heat of the summer really sucks and not my idea of a good time at all, so I enjoy being able to wear shorts during the summer.
Thinking of placing an order with Blair.com when I get my next pay check. I’ll let you know how it all pans out.
