Don’t know if you are a fan of Daylight Savings Time or not, but tonight is the night to set your clocks ahead an hour. We will have an extra hour of daylight in exchange for an hour of sleep. Not sure that is a bargain, but not like we have much choice, either. So here we go with the “Spring Forward” part of Daylight Savings.

My aunt has asked me to help her price shop for Connecticut insurance on her vacation home.  She’s easily confused by the Internet, so I offered to help her with some research on that topic to try to help her save some money.  I like websites like netquote.com that will help the consumer to do some comparison shopping between companies.  Being able to compare policies online is a great convenience.  I like doing things online – things get done at MY convenience and I don’t have to leave my own home to get things done!  Just fill out a few blanks, press submit and you are off and running!

You Tube is full of wonderful videos of our soldiers dancing over in Iraq. This particular one really impresses me and I thought that I’d share it here on my blog. Like I said there is a good amount of videos on You Tube, if you like this one you should check it some of the others as well.

I remember the first time that I heard about the Mesothelioma Disease that we are now hearing so much about on the TV. A co worker of mine (at that time) was telling us how his uncle had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. He apparently contacted this type of cancer while serving in the navy, while being in one of our many submarines. That has to really suck. It did open up a lot of discussion about what happens to our good citizens that put their lives on the line during their military time spent serving our country. It’s too bad that many of them come out of the service with many health issues to deal with for the rest of their lives. 

There is a local Mesothelioma Attorney that is heavily advertising his law practice to people that have been affected by this type of cancer that could possibly use his services. I no longer am in contact with this particular co worker, but I’m hoping that they have contacted a good Mesothelioma Lawyer that will help them receive money that is rightfully due to him, because I’m pretty sure the VA will not be much help in that area. Our veterans deserve all that they are entitled to and so much more.

The good lord has provided us with a few nice weather days as of late. Today it will hit the 60 degree mark! It is so nice not to have to bundle up with coats, hats, gloves, scarfs, etc. This morning I only had to dash out the door, hop in my car (not having to wait for it to warm up so that the heater will work it’s magic) and head on in to work. Gotta love it!
