Win a Hoover Carpet Cleaner over at 3 Kids and Us

I don’t know about all of you but I am having the worst trouble with my internet. I used to use Internet Explorer up until about a week ago. Now it work even boot up at all. I have been using Fire Fox. What happens now is it always seems to get corrupted and I have to refresh or try again. I have run scan after scan thinking it is a virus or spy-ware but They always come up clean. I am so frustrated because it takes me three times longer to do anything. I use a Linksys router and have never had a problem there. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try before having to take it in (which I would lvoe to avoid doing). Thanks in advance for any help!

I am so excited! So You Think You Can Dance is back! The tryouts are over. There were tryouts in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Memphis, Boston and Seattle. Sex did come back again. He made it to the choreography round. I am amazed. Did he make it to Vegas? Sadly, no. Although, 169 other dances did. Next week it is off to work for these dancers. I do have a few favorites but I am waiting to see who does make it to try and predict the winners.

Stay tuned for my weekly updates!

I am posting this early as I will be gone most of the day on Friday! Thanks!

Over the past week we started to notice that our downstairs toilet was running slow or clog. We try the plunger, snaking, drain cleaner and nothing worked. We have a clean trap in the back and when my husband was mowing the back lawn he noticed lots of yuck (and I mean yuck) all around the clean trap. Well, to make a long story short we had to bring in the experts – plumber. They used their industrial snake in our line that goes from our house to the street. It took 126 feet of this snake before reaching the clog. Unfortunately for us the clog was created because of pine tree roots. Our line has been compromised. The tree is our neighbor’s. So what do we need to do? Remove the tree before we fix the line or we may have the same trouble down the line. Then it is going to cost apporx. $2200 to fix the sewer line. I am seriously thinking of digging out the line and fixing it myself. That is alot of money. The only good news is that this is something that doesn’t need to be fixed now. It can wait, possible even years. For right now, at least we cna flush without any backlash, lol.

Sorry for my delay in posting winners.

One of the most valuable (and often overlooked) assets people 65 and over have is their life insurance policy. Most people don’t realize they (or their parents) can obtain a sizable lump sum cash settlement for their policies. Most life settlements occur through a broker like Quantum Life Settlements, who is able to obtain the highest possible cash offer for the policy holder.

Life settlements have become an important source of significant income for retirees who have watched the value of their portfolios dwindle in the current economy.

Quantum Group Life Settlements is dedicated to helping our clients receive the highest possible value for the life insurance policies they no longer want or need. Coordinating a life settlement through the Quantum Group, assures you of privacy, dignity and honesty. The appraisal process is free and there is no cost or obligation.

Getting started is easy! Click here to complete our pre-qualifying form. A Quantum Group Life Settlement Specialist will be contacting you to discuss your options. Remember, we will never ask you for medical records, and there is never any cost or obligation.
