If you shop online you really should use

DEALNEWS  posts all deals they find online and tell you how much you save by buying it.  Overtime they are one of my go to sights to find bargains. 

I want to tell people how to save money.

First, if you have high speed internet do yourself a favor and get a Ooma for your home phones.  After the cost of the Ooma all you pay is the taxes.  I get my home phone service for under 4 dollars a month. 

Second, if you want cell phone service sign up at Republic Wireless where you get unlimited phone, text, and data for $19.95/month after you buy one of their phones for $99.00.  The way they do it is to use wifi for most things where wifi exists and that brings down the costs.

As I get other things I will pass them on.  If you have other hints add to the list!

Memorial Day!

This day is to remember all who have died in the service of our country.  We will never forget their sacrifice.  I want to thank all of them, their families, and the current soldiers who keep us safe. 

 

 

Chicago, Illinois

I grew up in Chicago and moved away 22 years ago.  I will never move back.  Here are my top 10 reasons:
1. The weather!
2. The violence
3. The traffic
4. The corruption
5. The costs
6. The politics
7. President Obama
8. Mayor Emanuel
9. The congestion
10. Sprawl

Chicago is still a great place to visit.  I will always support the Bears, White Sox and Blackhawks.  I remember the city of my youth but it does not exist anymore.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, step mothers and others.

To all the mothers happy Mother's day.  My mother had dementia and barely knows me but I remember the good times.   

Alabama is the last state to approve home brewing!

Thanks to the governor we can now home brew beer.   Many other things have to change but this is a small victory.  Now we can work on closing the ABC stores and selling liquor in grocery stores!  We need to get the State out of being a market participant.  We want to see private business thrive.   We need to get the State out of the liquor business.  State's should regulate not be in business. 

Bears get a tight end and left tackle

The Bears are going to be better on offense.  My question which is not  fair is who are the linebackers?  We are waiting.  Great so far!

Back after a while

I am trying to write more.  Churchill's Dream for a conference.   I am working on a joint project with a friend.   I am thinking about writing fiction.  To do this I have to stay away from Twitter since it takes to much time.  I am still interested in what is happening in Tuscaloosa since it is my home.   I cannot say that the country is in good hands and my fear is that most of the people I care about are about to be affected by the greatest experiment in health care Obamacare.   Most people do not realize yet how bad this will be.
