Autumn...and Nothing Else

I can not express my emotions that relate to this season. Autumn…how I like it! These falling autumn leaves of defferent colors make me thoughtful and dreamy. Autumn is the time to stop after the “hurry” summer. But the only sad thing is that cold is coming. And we should be ready. No doubt I will be missing summer in cold winter days but now…I am so satisfied with my mood that nothing upsets me.

A Dream to Fly

My husband’s new hobby is about airplanes and everything that relates to them. His dream is to buy his own small family airplane and be a pilot (now he is an oilman). I began to understand his love and dream when once looked at some beautiful pictures at acpilot.blogspot.com. It is really impressive and beautiful. Why I am afraid to fly?

Oh Oh Phobia

Watching any kind of TV programs about people who have different phobias, I thought how difficult their life should be and why there were not good measures to cure phobias. Recently I have discovered that I also have phobia (supposedly claustrophobia). It happened at the cosmetologist’s office when she put a polyethylene film on the cosmetic mask on my face. It was awful and hard to confess. Fortunately, this phobia is not the worst and happends not very often. But still, this fact makes me upsetting and alerted. I have already bought special literature about phobias and only began to read. I hope that it will help me to wrestle with myself and overcome my new problem.

Why Online...

Many questions occur. Why is it more convenient to apply for credit card online? How safe is it? Etc, etc, etc. I believe the reasonable answer is quickness and easiness. Everything that you should do-switch your PC and find the right site with convenient charts for credit card comparison. If you know for sure what your credit score is, it will be not difficult to choose the suitable credit card deals section and card itself. Weigh pros and cons of each offer!
It is really safe because all required personal data you send goes directly to the credit card company you have chosen through safe & secure (SSL) channels. I think it is also a good way to save time.

How Much is the Fish

My husband and dad are fishermen. And I am very lucky (I had understood it not at once and sometimes was even angry because my husband spent much time on fishing) to eat only fresh fish every week. Once I have bought it at the supermarket. It was my rare time and believe, the last. I will do it again only in whim case if there is no fresh fish at home. Why? Not fresh fish is not a fish for me after the fresh one.

All my friends know that I am fond of postcards with small babies. I have a lot of them in my postcards box. Oh, oh how cute these babies are! And how talented woman is to have such ideas and implement them. I visit this site annegeddes.com just to look at the babies and admire. I remember my daughter when she was as small as they are. How lovely this age is! If you see them, I suppose, you can understand why I like such postcards.

Go Shopping-Stress Off

I was so stressful last time. Why? I don’t know exactly. Perhaps because of too much work or preparation to our relatives’ arrival who come to us for the first time. They are well to do people and I’d like to make everything perfect for them. So, I am trying. Why am I talking about stress? Because I suppose I have found my own key to how effervesce my spirit-go shopping! Looking for gifts to my relatives I have bought so many gifts for myself at the same time. And understood that it was the right thing to do in order to make me happy and get rid of stress. The only sad thing in this shopping therapy is its cost. My husband supports me: if it really can help-good! So, it is my own way to fight with stress. Do you have yours?

Life after Bankruptcy

How to live and repair finances? Those are the ordinary questions of bankrupts who fear that they will not be able to get a credit or loan any more. But good news is that even if you went through Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of bankruptcy, you may still search for credit cards or a loan.
What do these chapters mean? (Briefly)
Chapter 7 is the basic bankruptcy for the average consumer. Anything he has of value is sold to creditors.
Chapter 11 is for individuals and businesses to alter their finances by paying creditors by means of a reorganization plan.
And chapter 13 is for people who have normal jobs and are able to pay money on their debts. A person can only qualify if he has less than $269,250 in unsecured debt and less than $807,750 in secured debt.
So, even if your credit score was good enough before the bankruptcy, you will be eligible for no more than bad or no credit cards and secured cards. Choose the suitable one!
Note: getting a credit or a loan is not enough. You should respect them and use tactfully in order to prove your credit worthiness. Be patient and diligent! Only then you can rebuild your credit history and juvie.

Long-expected Driving License

At last I have got driving license. My own…With my picture on it.
I thought about getting driving license many times but was afraid a little bit (I am a coward, eh!) to drive myself. I preferred to sit near my husband and didn’t worry about anything. But I was in need of a car to go long distances without any help. So, now I have a new car (very beautiful) and my OWN driven license. I think I have become braver. Now I need the only thing – skill and experience on roads. Wish me good luck!

I Want a Pet!

My daughter wants a dog and nobody else. Of course I am trying not to yield to no persuasion and remember myself at almost the same age but a little bit older. My parents told me the same as I do to my daughter. But nevertheless, I had a dog at that time. Simply parents are always pliable because of love to their offspring. My husband and I do not want to have any pets at all but I think that some day we will have to give in because what the childhood it is without pets.

Protect from Identity Theft!

Identity theft is on the rise, it’s not a secret. It is a very serious problem nowadays. Anybody can steal your personal data and use it for his purposes. After the fact of theft thieves can use your Social Security Number, debit or credit card and other of your personal data.
You should protect yourself from identity theft doing everything in your power. Here are a few simple rules you can follow. Do not put your Social Security Number on anything if you are not asked for it! For example, if you put SSN on personal check, someone will get your SSN, address and number of your phone as well. Do you need it?
Buy a shredder to get rid of unused personal data!
Credit card companies and banks are warning about the danger of identity theft. So applying to any credit company or bank, ask what they offer to protect your personal information. Follow these guidelines to be secured:
1. Turn to credit bureaus in order to check your credit report and credit score every couple of month. You will be taking a caution against someone stealing your data. Catch identity theft quickly to be a success!
2. Invent stubborn passwords! First or last names as a password are incredibly easy to break for online thieves!
3. Credit card companies have your name on a mailing list and your name will stay on this list until you ask to get it off. Do it!
If you find out that someone has had your identity, report it as soon as possible! The longer you wait the worse the situation will be. Following these simple rules you can be more confident and sleep well because you do everything that is in your power. All the rest is not your concern.

Magic Day

I am a little bit late talk about these magic figures 07.07.2007. But still I will. My brother had married this day. Registry offices had worked until the night. There were so many wishes and applications indicated that registry offices decided to satisfy them. Couples got married this day perhaps hope that it will bring them happiness and wealth. I can not say that I believe in these figures but hope that my brother with his wife and all the couples that had married this great day will make a good match.

Helpful News

It is getting more difficult to select among the great credit card range. New information appears almost every day. Looking through websites in order to find any news about credit card offers I found a new video advertisement concerning credit cards at Credit-Land.com. I believe it has developed as a helper in a wide world of credit cards and will make the search of cards easier. Here it is.

Waiting for Vacation

It is more and more difficult to work waiting for the end of July. Why? My vacation time is coming. I haven’t been on real vacation for 3 years. So, this summer I decided to go anywhere. Of course with my family. We have chosen Spain because of excellent service, climate and prices. Almost everything is ready. There is only one thing to remain before leaving-put our clothes into bags, and go. I hope I won’t be disappointed in this country and its people.
