Navigating The Stairs In Your Home

Friday, May 31st, 2013

It is amazing how the stairway lifts have evolved over the years. The very first one that I remember seeing was at a house that I was helping my friend clean and get ready for a wedding. It was the very basic stairway lift and it didn’t look very comfortable. I wanted to give it a try so very much but didn’t know how to use it and god forbid if I had broken it, there was no way I could have come up enough money to pay for the repairs that it would need, so I stayed away from it and just checked it out from a distance. I just loved the concept and couldn’t seem to stop gazing at it.

These stairway lifts have become very popular over the years. They certainly have a bigger and better selection of stairway lifts for today’s customers wants and needs. I still haven’t had the opportunity to actually sit and use one though. Guess that’s a good thing in the long run. Hopefully I will never had the need to use one either!

Check out how they can now make this stairway lifts for curved staircases that are so popular in so many homes these days.

Old and Rusty Lanyards

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

A buddy of mine came to visit a few weeks ago and we had planned to go out to the ocean and go fishing, water skiing and knee boarding. We were both so excited to spend some time away from home and have some fun, and go wild. We made a list of things we needed not just for the road trip but for the trip on the water as well.

It took a lot of thinking and gathering to get everything we needed but we did it. Before we knew it we were out on the open road on the way to the ocean front with my buddies boat hooked to the back of the truck ready to rock and roll on the water. When we finally got to the boat dock, my buddy noticed that his lanyards were old and rusty and needed replacing as soon as possible.

I searched Google through my phone to find a good deal on lanyards, and it didn’t take much time at all to come across a site that offers lanyard pins at a great price, so I immediately ordered some for him without him knowing at the time. When it arrived shortly after, I wrapped them up as a gift, knowing his Birthday was in a few days, and gave them to him before he had left to go back home.

He was so happy to have them for his boat, I couldn’t be any more thrilled to know I helped my buddy out, when he least expected it. It might have been a small item, but its something he needed and the price wasn’t something I couldn’t ignore.

Recycle Those Paper Version Phone Books

Friday, May 17th, 2013

I’m tossing out (actually I’m recycling) my local phone books. There are so darn many of them and they just take up a lot of room and don’t get used, as long as I have access to the Internet that is.  When I need to find or get information about some one or some place I get it quickly while I’m online. I can’t even remember the last time I looked anything up in any of the paper version phone books. So out the door they go and a good riddance.

Like earlier today I spent some time online looking for a decent San Francisco auto repair center. I went to repairpal.com and found several that seemed to match my needs. My Honda Accord which is my only means of transportation is in need of a new timing belt and I don’t want to use any of my charge cards that I have in my wallet for several well known auto service centers. I’m determined not to use any of my credit cards, it’s a challenge but it’s working for me. So far I haven’t had to use a credit card since September of last year, not even for Christmas!

 

Most Excellent Boss Pedals

Monday, May 13th, 2013

A close friend of mine I used to attend school with, is coming to visit me in a week or so from Colorado. I’m so excited to finally spend some time with him like the good old days. We used to hang out after school and play guitar and the drums together with some other friends who also played various instrument’s. We ended up calling ourselves the “Under Dogs” shortly before school had ended our Junior year in school.

We all have kept in touch over the years but my friend whom is coming to visit, is my closest friend out of them all. We had talked about incorporating something different then what we were used to, but couldn’t think of anything, until I had came across a site on the net, that had excellent boss pedals. Something I never thought of purchasing or even messing with. But after reading about it and talking to my friend who is coming to visit, I have decided to give it a go and try it.

I ordered one and it had arrived at my door step in no time, for an unbelievable price. When it arrived I immediately opened it and started messing with it and to my surprise I’m enjoying it to the fullest. My friend is excited to try it out himself, and add some spice to our music. He should be here in a few hours, and I’m so excited to hear what we can come up with to share with the old Under Dogs, and the world.

Bean Bag Sofa Lounger Sits Three

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

If you are interested in a cool seating alternative you might want to go online  at thesoothingcompany.com and look here for bean bag sofa lounger options that might surprise and/or impress you. I have always loved bean bag chairs and the like, but not all bean bag furniture is comfortable. I’ve seen tons of bean bag chairs and a few sofas and I know a good one when I see one. To find one that could possibly seat 3 is incredible.

The Soothing Company has a lot of cool products that I have enjoyed looking at and wanted to pass it along here for others who might be interested in fashion and comfort.
