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.

Sometimes I think that so many people get caught up in the time saving features of using the Internet for their shopping, that they overlook the importance of supporting local businesses.  It is surprising to find out that many local people don’t even know what local restaurants and businesses there are in their towns!  Even though I do buy a lot of things over the Internet, I also try to support the local economy as much as possible.

That’s why I appreciate the local.com website.  It acts like a local yellowpages.  With just a few keystrokes and clicks I can do a local search to help me find what I need using the local stores and businesses.  After all, if we don’t support the local businesses, no one will have a job and we’ll all starve to death!  The job you save may be your own!  So if I can buy something close to home, I will make the effort to do so.

I can remember the summer that I decided to take a college math course.  I was in a big hurry to finish up my college degree, and the local college was finally offering the statistics course that I needed to take during a time frame that I could actually take it!  Little did I know that I’d be dedicating my entire summer to that course!  Every waking minute was studying statistics! I sure could have used some statistics help back then!

The only place that I could get free statistics help back then was to go to the University itself and sign up for a statistics tutor. That was all well and good, but it was almost impossible to find a mutually agreeable time to meet the tutor and get to work!

The kids in school now have it a lot easier; with the Internet at their fingertips they can use the Internet to get all the math help they need for free at the tutorvista.com website! I sure wish that site was available when I needed it!

Cheryl sent me an email, telling me that she wants to start looking for better deals on her insurance. Money is tight for her (as it seems to be for most people I know, including me!) and she was thinking that maybe she could save some money by changing her insurance. But she really didn’t know the best way to get started on her search for better insurance! Since she lives in Franklin, MA, I told her that the best advice that I could give her would be to use Google and try a few different keywords.

The keywords that I suggested that she use included Insurance Franklin, MA, Franklin MA Insurance, Auto Insurance Franklin, MA, Compare Insurance Franklin MA, and Homeowners Insurance Franklin, MA to start. I think that would bring up quite a few results for her to get started. Personally I like doing business with independent agents because they can compare lots of different companies and get you the best deal. Calling someone who is dedicated to just one company might not be the best way to find the best deal.

I have no problem ordering work clothes online. I look for sites that have decent return policies and the rest is pretty easy. I’m not too hard to please when it comes to workwear clothing. We do spend a good amount of time in our work wear but I’m not out to impress anyone while on the clock. Dave’s New York has a great website that I order from a few times a year. Teri found it for me and they get a lot of my business. They have a great variety of brand names that I know I can rely on and have good prices for the work clothing that I find that I need every now and then.

When I’m at home a good comfortable pair of blue jeans are what I’m all about. There is something about an old broken in pair of jeans, that just can’t be thrown out, that feel so darn good on the body all year round. Teri would like to see me dress up more, but there really isn’t any need for it for the most part. I do have two suits in the closet that I have if needed, and I would be just as happy to never have to pull either one of them out, ever.

So if you are looking for good quality work clothes, that are affordable, I feel comfortable in passing the good word for davesnewyork.com.
