I’ve been watching the commercials and they make this look so good, I just had to try it.  Of course I want the Dyson DC41 Animal but the one I want costs $599.00 and that’s a lot for a vacuum. The Shark Navigator Lift-Away sells for $179.99 – a little more than I wanted to pay - but I [...]

SOS Online Backup? You’ll be screaming “SOS”, all right. 15 months ago today I signed up for the SOS Online Backup “reseller” service. The price was fair

Charging you extra to pay your bills? First congress effectively causes banks to charge you a fee to have an account…

I know by now you are probably thinking, “just get over it.” The problem is the more I write, the more I recall. I was digging around in my purse when I found an unclaimed Cashout Voucher from the Luxor Casino. It was then that I realized I had lied or rather misrepresented the facts just a tad and I want to set the record straight.

Minecraft holds no interest for me. I was going for the buffets. I told Shawn I was going on a Seafood Diet, if I saw food, I planned to eat it. I promised to gain 10 pounds while we were there – and I meant it. I have severe food issues, which leave me unable to eat very much at one sitting, so I nibble. I find that if I eat a nice variety I manage to eat enough to keep me going.

We fought the traffic to make it back across town. I was determined to share another perfect dining experience with my sweet husband, so I strongly recommended we eat at The Buffet at The Bellagio. The tab was $79.89 for the two of us, no alcohol was ordered, plus tip, including tax. I can’t express to you just how disappointed I was with that meal.

My husband encouraged me to purchase the all-day pass to the Bayside Buffet at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, I was tempted. We chose instead to eat dinner our first night in Las Vegas in-house, and selected the Bayside Buffet because I love having a little bit of everything for a meal, so buffets are ideal.

The Mandalay Bay rate for this room “starts” at $90 a night and according to the reservation system, the rate for this same room could be as much as $480 per night, which would be comparable to the Hilton Inn but that is where the comparison ends. (Think “very roomy Motel 6.”) We received a discounted rate due to the MineCon negotiated rate.

We did our homework and shopped around our local area. We checked online to see what was available, we compared prices and quality, until we finally found what we were looking for. We try to shop locally as often as we can, to support our locally owned businesses. It helps keep our money, in our community. We stopped in to shop…

Our family firmly believes in buying local and for most of the year we do. We know where to shop to stretch our money as far as we can and still eat good wholesome food. We would love to be able to say that we buy only organic, locally grown fruits and vegetables, but we can’t. We’ve been forced to cut back on the luxury of being able to eat healthy, nutritious foods and are forced to succumb to eating some GMO foods.

Since when is it a citizens job to make things easier for law enforcement? Since, Louisiana House Bill 195 passed and requires that those who buy and sell second hand goods cannot use cash to make those transactions. Rickey Hardy, District 44 commented, “It’s a mechanism to be used, so the police department can be able [...]

Though regulators have pushed through a number of changes they hoped would control banks’ fees and charges, financial institutions are finding news ways to nick customers. By now, most Americans know Bank of America recently announced plans to charge debit-card users a $5 monthly fee beginning early  next year. But they’re not the only bank [...]

Netflix has made a proactive, if not risky move. I was bummed out when Netflix announced they were splitting up their online and physical movie distribution network, while significantly increasing rates. It’s a risky but necessary move. One that I believe will pay off for the company in the long run, even if it does [...]
