Vacations and my first ebay sale
2008-05-29 15:25:00
Family Note: If you are listening to this weeks audio podlet, please note that I recorded it back in February. Since then I have taken a second trip home, and we followed this same plan as explained in this trip, except there was no snow at the end ! In this weeks podet, I talk about my vacation and my sucess with my first ebay sale. In both cases I offer a few tips about travelling with kids and selling things on ebay, yes it's an odd combination, but that's just me I guess ! I'm getting more and more addicated to ebay, and have made myself a little "Ebay sellers kit" that includes things like wrapping paper, a digital scale, packing tape, measuring tape, etc etc. I like to pack everything up shortly after listing it, measure the dimentions for shipping and weight and I write it in pencil on the parcel itself Read More...

Brinking your Banking Online
2008-05-28 19:13:00
When I first started online banking, I was very skeptical about the idea. Sure some websites are secure, and use encryption, but how comfortable do I feel sending my money around on the internet? There is a carefull balance to be maintained between convience and security. In the end however, I decided to open up savings accounts and give it a try. There are so many features provided today for onlink banking. Let us consider Wamu as an example. With a secure internet connection, you can check your balance, pay your bills, and get alerts about your accounts. Plus with paperless banking you are helping the environment as well. One of the best ideas is the ability to automatically have money transferred to say a high interest savings account. Automatic savings is a great way to buld a little nest egg. Just set it and forget it. Account alerts are also a cool feature. I am not aware of other banks that can do this. When you reach a certain balance, or a large withdrawal, you can be n...

Where is the missing ten dollars?

Today's quiz teaches us that things may not always be as they seem. In life, we are often confronted with things that seem so logical. So correct, but we are fooled.

Health Insurance vs. Socialized Healthcare
2008-05-16 11:23:00
Kevin Freking has written an interesting 7 part article over on ehealthhelp.com. His article discusses the pro's/cons of Health Insurance Plans vs a socialized system. Freking specifically discusses the various platforms of the political parties (and differences within the party) of America, and what they hope to accomplish. I live in Canada, and we have socialized health care. Although, I am not very clear on how there health care works. I cringe at the idea of possibly dying because of an inability to afford health care. Canada is actually in the process of working out a 2-Teir health system. It is an attempt to leverage both benefits of health insurance and socialized health care. One of the drawbacks, we face in Canda (as compared to the US), is very long wait times in our hospitals. Since health care is funded by our taxes and available to everyone, it gets a lot of utilization, and certains costs (such as Doctors salaries may have limits. Regardless, I still feeling extrem...

Finding Success with Positive Thinking
2008-05-15 15:37:00
Flickr Image uploaded by suesue In this weeks podlet (a little late yes). I talk about my ideas of positive thinking and some basic tennants of how it works. We all have bad days, but how we respond to these little events in our lives ultimately determines our success. I have been noticing lately, how many people feel frustraed by the actions of others. Little things, that they have no control over. Think about people cutting you off when you are driving, or stacking the dishes a little different at work. Little thoughtlets that creep in and modify our daily attitude and expectations, perhaps we are aware of them, perhaps not. Hope you enjoy it. Read More...
