Let's Talk About The End of Days

noreply@blogger.com (LifeBelowZero) — Sun, 22 May 2011 09:28:00 +0000

There has been a great deal of talk lately about Doomsday, Armageddon,
yeppers the end of the world as we know it is on everyone's mind.

With recent climate change and down right deadly weather, it's easy
to see why these conversations are coming up.

Let's talk facts. The fact is each and every day is the last for someone.
We are all going to die. It's a natural part of life.

I challenge you to think more about living, more about raising the quality
of your life and of the lives of those around you.

If you died right now, what would you regret?
Did you forget to tell someone you loved them?
Pick up the phone and tell them now!

None of us are guaranteed another minute.
We are faced with numerous dangers every second of every day.
The miracle is that we live.
Take your miracle of life, the precious gift that you have been given
and use it to bring love, light and hope to those around you.

No one knows what the future brings.
No one can tell us when "The End of Days" will come.
If anyone claims they can , remain skeptical and remember to
cherish each and every moment of your life.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

My Review:
My family is always looking for ways to curb hunger between meals.
After reading about this product, I was curious.
Would it really curb my constant appetite?

I sent one to work with my husband and had him eat it and time how
long it took to feel hungry again. (he LOVES to eat!,LOL)

He reported back that it curbed his hunger for two hours.
I nibbled one while working at my computer and it held off hunger
for four hours!

How did it taste?
Don't let the word "multigrain" scare you off, this doesn't taste
like health food.
The outside is sweet and salty with a hint of graham cracker taste.
The filling was thick and creamy, very cheesy.
This satisfied my sweet and salt cravings plus the cracker texture was excellent!

William said they tasted like a giant smoked cheese cracker, heavenly.
We both loved them so now I'm heading over to the Facebook page
to print a coupon. I'll have to buy lots of these!

How do you handle in between meal hunger? Do you have any special
snacks that get you through the day?

Please share your tips, they would be very helpful!

Save and Earn Shopping with Bing!

noreply@blogger.com (LifeBelowZero) — Thu, 19 May 2011 20:06:00 +0000

Thank you to BING for sponsoring my writing today. To learn more about BING Shopping Rewards, click here. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

Online shopping is the biggest help to my budget! I live in a rural
town, off the postal mail grid. With the current price of gas,
any shopping trip cost at least $25. in gasoline.
It would cost much more if I had to drive around bargain shopping.

Luckily I can find anything I need online by searching in Bing Shopping!
After I locate the item that I need, I search again for online coupons and
promo codes to apply to my purchase. Some codes even cover free shipping.

I have purchased all my large appliances this way.

Another tip is to add the word "refurbished" to your Bing shopping search.
You can find GREAT deals on computers and electronics this way.
Look at this deal I found on Bing:
Found on Bing Shopping: (search terms: refurbished laptop)

(Retail price: ~~$699.00~~)

You save: 57%

$299.00

Oh and the news gets better! Bing has a rewards program!
About the Bing Rewards Preview Program: Shopping on a Search Engine’s Dime

Remember those old cartoons that depicted a character facing a dilemma with an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other? If you enjoy shopping, here’s how the dialogue goes for you: One tells us to spend less, save more; the other beckons us with promises of sales and free shipping. Of course, if you had a gift card to your favorite retailer, you could shut both voices up and shop guilt free, right?

The Bing Rewards Preview program gives you shopping free will by allowing you to earn credits for searching and exploring various features of Bing. Once credits begin to add up, you can go ahead and redeem them toward gift cards, buy merchandise, even give to charity.

There are two easy ways to start earning and tracking your credits:

Go the Bing Bar route. Just install the Bing Bar toolbar onto your browser and register, and you can watch the Rewards credit counter climb.
Head to Bing.com on the Web. Just complete the registration form and track your progress by checking the Rewards credit counter located on the top right of the Bing.com header.

And, upon signing up, you’ll automatically start with 250 credits.

Once you’ve accumulated a fair number of credits (to give you an idea, 1338 credits can get you a $10 Starbucks gift card!), head to the Redemption Center and start shopping. Beyond getting your caffeine fix, you can fuel your makeup obsession with a Sephora giftcard, and not feel bad about splurging on that pricey mascara you’ve been wanting. Or, you may choose to buy just about anything you want by choosing an Amazon.com giftcard. You can also cash in your credits for specific products like the Scrabble board game, a DVD player, and more.

Learning to Read with Learning Disabilities

noreply@blogger.com (LifeBelowZero) — Wed, 11 May 2011 03:25:00 +0000

I have a child with "Learning Disabilities". I was told he would never read.
Boy were they wrong!

Many of you are home school teachers and I'm sure you face the same challenges.

I used a simple trick to teach my son to read. Comics!

My parents frowned on Madd Magazine as too racy for a child....so I
subscribed and saw that he was determined to read that "racy" magazine.

Marvel and DC Comics did the rest. He couldn't put them down!
To this day, he is an avid collector (and reader).

Comic books opened the door for him and now he can read anything.

If you are frustrated by your child's reading progress, remember to use
"The Power of Comics".

For those on a budget, you can get free comics here:
Listia - you get free credits at sign up, then you can auction off coupons, etc
for more credits. I have received 50 freebies there, lately lots of Comics!

smokeyxztx gives away lots of comics on Listia!
