The Bees Are Back!

I thought that hopefully I wouldn't have to get rid of the rest of the cushions on the porch but now I know that I have to because the bees are back!  I going to have to take care of this problem the exact same way that I took care of it before and that is to wait until the weather is cooler so that I can get rid of the cushions.  This time I am just going to get rid of the rest of the cushions and get porch furniture that - I hope - is bee-proof!

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs! - Where are they coming from!

Of course it must have something to do with the warmer weather but they are just driving me crazy!  It seems to be more worse inside the house than outside of the house!

Unsolicited Solicitations - Not!

I don't know about you but I plan to stay in my house for a very long time.  I have put so much work and effort into my home that I am not about to give it up without a fight!

Because of the work I do and the experiences that I have had I have specific plans as to the "financial" aspects of my home.  I want to pay off the mortgage - especially since I don't like the mortgage company that I have (the mortgage note has changed hands at least 5 times!).  Of course when I do pay it off there will be the matter of the property taxes that have to be paid annually but my plan for that is using the money that I used to pay for the mortgage.

I have no intention of taking out another mortgage on my home.  That's why I became rattled when I got an email from some place in Texas (I'm in PA) that wants me to sign up and get a lower interest rate on my mortgage.  What especially angers me is that their email to me included my exact name and address!  How did they get that?  Probably from some mailing list or something.

This is all fine and well for those that want to partake in such a service but for me I have my own definite plan!

Living Room - Big Screen TV Problems! Yikes!

So I'm watching tv in the livingroom last night and for no reason it just clicks off! Ok no problem I'm thinking. I have to get up and turn it back on but it will be worth it. So I click it on and it just goes right back off again! So now I'm thinking "Great! Now I need a new big screen!" I'm hoping the problem will go away because I just cannot afford another big screen TV.

Since I'm such a pack rat I found the original receipt and found out that it was purchased back in 1997. So I'm begging everyone that has a big screen older than this to let me know that this is just a temporary problem and that all will be well again!
