ORLANDO VACATION

Filed under: FAMILY, THIS 'n' THAT, SHOPPING, MONEY — grandi13 @ 9:42 pm

Going to Orlando on a real vacation would be fun! I have been to Orlando only twice in my life and neither time just to relax and do things on my time schedule. I would want some family members to go with me, have plenty of money to spend on the attractions and shop until we dropped.

If I were to go now, I would plan in detail my stay at Orlando Villas even to the type of soap and shampoo samples they use. I would also plan meals for each day so that activities could be planned close by or maybe we would just eat junk food from the amusement parks, depending on my awakening mood.

Making sure I did not miss any special attractions happening, I would definitely want to get myself a copy of the “Disney News“. I would want to know all that Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Daisy and Goofy were doing.

ANOTHER HEALTH UPDATE

Filed under: HEALTH, MONEY — grandi13 @ 9:13 pm

Got the bill from the hospital for the CT scan that was done there on the 19th.  It is only $3741.80.

The Pet scan was done Thursday.  I have no idea what the cost of that will be.  Probably much more than I really want to know.

My supplemental health policy thru work only pays $1500. per year for out patient care and this includes doctor visits.  Well, that amount has long been reached.  Thankfully, the surgeon is considering his OVs as follow up and therefore not charging me.

I am by nature a pessimist, but I do not have good feelings about these test results.  I will know Tuesday afternoon if all of this anxiety has been in vain.  I can only trust that it has been and if it hasn’t been, I will still trust as that is the only way I will be able to cope.

BID FOR PRIZES

Filed under: THIS 'n' THAT, SHOPPING — grandi13 @ 8:24 pm

Most of us know that when bidding for an item, the highest bidder wins. Well, not so here. The winner of the auction is the one who has the lowest unique bid. One can bid online or by using their cell phone. Even if you do not win the bid, you are given points, that can be saved and used to get other prizes that may interest you. One must become a member of Bid4Prizes before bidding on any prizes.

If I were to win the Scion, I would use it as down payment on a Honda Odessey. But if I were bidding on the Dell system and won, I would not be able to get it connected fast enough.

SLEEPING IN

Filed under: FAMILY — grandi13 @ 9:04 am

What a joke!!!  I will start at the beginning of this little story.

My older 2 grandsons went boyscout camping this week-end and to appease the youngest I was to go get him this AM after I got up, had my coffee and such.  I wanted to sleep in until I was ready to get up.  Usually after about 8, all I do is nap anyway, but I like to get up when I am ready on my days off..  Once I wake up, my mind has a tendency to be very busy preventing me from going back to a deep sleep.

DH calls about 7:30, waking me to let me know the guy will be here in about 30 -40 minutes to look at the house and give him an estimate on  putting new siding on it.  UGH! the guy was at least an hour getting here and did not need to talk to me.  He called DH at work and told him what he needed to know.

Life goes on.

Til Next Time.

YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE

Filed under: FAMILY, THIS 'n' THAT, MONEY — grandi13 @ 7:25 pm

We have a Yamaha Motorcycle Dealer in the town next to us. I have always been afraid of motorcycles. I have only been bike riding twice. The second time I rode, my husband was driving, but I was still terrified. After we got home he told me that I almost made him wreck because I did not lean correctly on the curves. I told him I was afraid, he could ride any time he wanted and I would stay home or find something else to do.

There are over 6000 dealers in the US. This web site will help you find the best dealer in your area. You can search by engine size, class or price. They offer a free no obligation search, looking for the lowest price with manufacturer promotions as well as leveraging financing.

Even tho I am afraid of the bikes, I can appreciate their beauty and style. Take a look here and you will see an awesome looking bike.

SECURED LOANS

Filed under: THIS 'n' THAT, MONEY — grandi13 @ 11:44 pm

Almost everyone of age has had a loan of some type. Secured loans are probably easier to obtain than other types of loans. Secured loans are just that, one has to have collateral that is equal or more valuable than the amount of the loan. With a secured loan, the lender is provided a way to get his money if the debtor does not pay.

It is hard for me to imagine that one can fill out an application for secured loans, mortgages and remortgages on the internet. I guess a loan is only a mouse and a click away. Any Loans will be happy to assist you with any of your financial woes.

CANADIAN PHARMACIES

Filed under: HEALTH, THIS 'n' THAT — grandi13 @ 11:26 pm

Many people order their medications online. Some folks order from Canadian Pharmacies because they seem to be cheaper than the pharmacy down the street. Each of the pharmacies will have the same medications, you just have to decide where is best for you.

I personally like to get my medications from the local pharmacy, I have worked with the pharmacists and feel more comfortable. If I have questions or concerns they are readily available. My brother does order his medications on line.

REAL ESTATE

Filed under: THIS 'n' THAT, WEATHER — grandi13 @ 9:19 pm

I have real estate in Bladen county and Brunswick county, both of which are in North Carolina. I also have real estate in Horry county, which is in South Carolina. I do not have any Bozeman Montana Real Estate. That is too far away from my birthplace.

I understand that Montana is beautiful country, but I just do not think I would want to live there. The winters are way too cold for me. Since I tend to be a home body, I will probably never go to Bozeman unless one of my very close relatives move there and I go for a visit.
