Need Some Help With Ant Problems In Your Home?

The weather is getting warmer here in Philadelphia and I noticed that one day recently - actually a few days ago - I noticed ants in my kitchen! So I was looking online for articles about how to get rid of ants in your kitchen and I found a great online blog post with comments from others who have various solutions.

Some of their solutions involve chemicals but some of them have more natural solutions and I'm definitely going to try some of them!

Since I work from home I HATE any kind of distractions or things going wrong!

I hope this blog post helps you because I surely hope that it will help me!

Seeing How The Other Half Lives?

While I absolutely LOVE where I live and wouldn't trade it for a million dollars, I also like to look at the home of the rich and famous. I found a blog that posts picture of luxurious real estate - and they are luxurious-looking!

I always like to see homes like these and I was a frequent watcher of "The Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous".

Like I said before some of these homes are absolutely gorgeous!

Who knows? I may purchase one as my 2nd Home!

Here Is An Interesting Link.....

Found another one of those interesting articles on the Internet. This one lists 25 things that (in their opinion) will not be here much longer!

25 Things Vanishing From America

I won't give away everything that is on the list but there are a few things that I don't necessarily agree with.

Probably the most important one is that I LOVE my VCR and don't know what they could possibly have to replace it!

Even though there are millions of email being sent every day I still like to believe that there are still people out there that still do handwritten letters. I haven't done them myself in quite awhile but that doesn't mean that I am never going to!

So take a look at the list and let me know your thoughts!

Are You Ready For The Switch To Digital TV?

If you don't know it by now we all have to make the switch to digital tv by February 2009!

That means that if the television set(s) that you have are not digital-tv-ready then you will either have to get a converter for your tv or buy a new tv that is digital ready.

If you already have a satalite dish, a dish network subscription or you have cable then this does not apply to you.

The government is providing coupons for those that want to by a converter box to make their tv's digital-ready. You can request one coupon now, and one later, but no more than two per household. They expire 90 days after they are mailed.

Here is the information that you need to know in order to get your coupon(s) for the tv converter:

Order coupons on line at www.DTV2009.gov

Order by phone at 1-888-DTV-2009

Order by mail at PO Box 2000, Portland, OR 97208

Or order by fax at 1-877-DTV-4ME2

Home Improvement Tips - Link

I found an interesting site that gives tips about home improvement. Goodness knows I can use all the help that I can get!

I wanted to add this site because it doesn't look like one of those "advertising" sites where there is just advertising to buy something. This website looks sincere. And ironically the guy behind this website is one of Google Adsense's sucess stories.

The Cost Of Heating Is Expected To Rise!

Here is a link to an article that talks about how the heating costs will rise this winter.

I'm really not surprised by this news - just a little disappointed.

It's getting harder and harder for people to make ends meet! And I'm sure that this is not welcomed news for them!

Fortunately for me I was able to get a new heating system with the help of a grant that Rose help me find.

I am also on a monthly "budget" plan that my utility company offers where you pay the same amount each month and it balances out your bill payments for the year.

In the winter time I have seen my heating bill be as much as $300!

Just in case you're wondering what kind of heating sytem I have it's a boiler system that is in the basement and it brings heat to the radiators that are in every room.

Replacing A Broken Window

As I got online I saw this link to a site with a guy showing how to replace a broken window. Here is the link:

Replacing A Broken Window

There's a video on the site as well.

I don't have a broken window but I do have an upstairs window that has a crack in it. From what I have been told I can just replace the pane but I haven't done it yet and I haven't decided if I'm going to do it or have someone else do it.

The windows that I are pretty old and I kind of like them the way they are plus I have this weird thing of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
