The Cabin Cuddler

Have any of you heard about the cabin cuddler? I saw one when I went to pick up my friend from the airport last night. A Cabin Cuddler is a 6-in-1 travel blanket and pillow. This is very usable especially when you are travelling for long hours in a plane, train or even at airports or stations when you get delayed or stranded. This is the best travel companion you can possibly have even if you are travelling alone. How does this work? Well, this cute little bag can be your inflatable pillow, a blanket that can cover your entire body, a pocket that will keep your toes warm and a pillow case. You don’t need those airline blankets that has been re-used several times by passengers anymore. Also, I could use this at the office. Do you know that I bring a sweater even if it’s summer time at work. It is freezing!!! How can I complain, I work in an airconditioning company. I need one of this too.

I am so excited with this one. I really love this. Come on, get one for yourself. Check this out! On their website cabincuddler.com, it says that if you buy 2 or more you will receive free shipping. That’s a good deal and you can choose between black and cranberry colors. Hurry, get one for yourself and for the whole family.

The Grilled Salmon

We do our food shopping once every two weeks but for meat, chicken, fish and vegetables we buy them every week to keep them fresh by not storing them too long in the freezer. We love seafood and we always buy shrimps and salmon every time we go to the oriental store. We like buying our salmon there because it’s fresh and they cut the fish in front of you and you just tell them what part you want to buy.

Our favorite dish is the ever tasteful and delicious grilled salmon. We always cook it on the day we buy it. I just season it with salt, pepper and lemon and grill it. That’s it. Simple but delicious. If weather not permitting, we have an oven top grill pan or I brushed it with a little brown sugar and light soy sauce and bake it. How about you? How do you cook your salmon? Care to share your recipe. I think a salmon recipe is a very appropriate dish to be included in the 2008 Great American Cook Off at the New Orleans Convention Center in Louisiana this coming August 2-3. This recipe can be interpreted in various ways with the best imaginations of our local chefs using our very own and locally grown seafood.

No more Late nights at DMV

If you are from New Jersey, please remember that Department of Motor Vehicles agencies and regional service centers have no more late nights starting last Monday June 23, 2008. I did not know about it not until last Thurs night(our local DMV’s late night) when we went for registration renewal. Inspection hours are still the same. Check your local agencies in your state if they also have revised hours.

Analog to Digital TV

I hope everybody is aware of this new change on television. On February 17, 2009 all the stations all over U.S. will turn off their analog signals and switch to digital. What is the effect on us? If you have an analog tv and you are still using the rooftop antenna or rabbit ears to get tv signal and you don’t have cable or satellite, you will lose signal not unless you have to make changes. You don’t have to dump your old tv but you need a digital converter box that will convert the digital signals to analog format. You can buy this at local electronics store like radio shack. If you already have cable, satellite or your new tv has built in digital tuner, you don’t have to do anything. So this just an FYI to more than 20 million Americans who are still using analog tv before you totally lose your tv signals.

Get Fit Financially

I just finished doing my bills IQ test and I am very satisfied with my score. I got 94% A with the following breakdown:
Credit 100%
Debt 93%
Budget 91%
Wealth 96%
Life Plan 92%
Now, what does this mean? With regards to my credit, I am very good because I always pay off my credit card balances every month. I don’t want them to accrue interest because sometimes interest gets higher than your credit. Big balances on your credit card can hurt your credit score. If you are paying a lot of credit cards monthly, try seeking some Debt help such as Debt consolidation to ease you with your monthly payments . I scored a little low on debt because I was not sure what are the interest rates of my credit cards. I have to be aware of this because if you have high interest you are wasting money by paying the interest alone. I also don’t have a budget written down which is very important. You have to sit down and make a record of everything you spent. If you have a good budget you know how much your spending capability and at the same time you can also do a life plan for your family. Nothing beats to be prepared all the time.

I had fun doing this test. It made me realize the importance of knowing your spending habits, your debts and payments. It helps you plan for the future and if you are not doing great with your credit, ask for Debt relief before it's too late. Give importance to the recommendations it gives to repair your credit. If you haven’t done the Bills IQ test yet, do it right now. No pain, it’s all gain.

For New Jersey residents, please be reminded that there are no more late nights for Department of Motor Vehicles agencies and regional services effective last monday july 23, 2008. We did not know about it. We were at our local DMV thursday night (our late night) but they were closed. Inspection schedules remains the same. For other states, just check your local dmv's for change of schedules.

A Unique Massage Bed

I have a co-worker who is in his 50’s and last year he fell from the steps of his house. He was in the hospital for a week but thank God they did not do any surgery on him. He is back at work but for the past few months he has been complaining about back pains. His doctor has given him pain killer patch but the dosage is so strong that sometimes he feels so nauseous. On his birthday Last July 1st, his daughter gifted him a Takemi Jade Vista 5000 massage bed from netwise4deals.com. From then on he canot stop talking about the relief he gets from this massage bed and he said the best gift he had ever received.

108 year old blogger dies

An Australian woman named Olive Riley, 108 years old, being described as the world’s oldest blogger has died two days ago (July 12th - thanks eric for the correction). She was maintaining two blogs: allboutolive.com.au and worldsoldestblogger.blogspot.com. She wrote 74 entries in her blog which she started in 2007, blogging about growing up down under, raising 3 kids and about her job. She was placed in a nursing home last month but she continued blogging about coughing and feeling weak. Her last post was about “singing a happy song.” You are a blogger in heaven now, Olive.
