 On The Fly~

  • January 10th, 2009

Recently I was getting ready to take a trip out of the country and knew I would have to unfortunately do my work “On the Fly”. I asked my IT person what they suggested I look into for either free or a small fee for access my main computer from my laptop while traveling. His suggestion was quite simple, a website called “Log Me In”.

I did a “Free Trial” of the Pro version just to get a feel for it. I liked it and it seemed simple. Without any further questions, I signed up for a year $69.95. This worked out to around $5.85 a month. You can’t beat that for never forgetting a file, folder or email. The convenience versus the cost is a “win-win” situation.

When I signed up I was not sure of how to do file transfers, looking at my files, etc. so I called the technical support team, spoke to the gal there and she just simple had me log in with her and she walked me through my computer and laptop (she was on both with me showing me where, how and when to do what I needed to do).

I am so excited about this relatively cheap version of a server that I wanted to share with others who also may be needing this type of service but think they cannot afford it and more so than won’t be able to do it themselves. If I can do this, anyone can.

 4 Tips for Safe Online Buying

1. Buying online isn’t only convenient, it’s also cheaper. Purchasing supplies—whether it is office items, computer programs, or gifts—should be sweat free and fast. Prices are available online. All transactions are done in real time.

2. To see is to believe. Because you’re dealing with a seller on the Internet, you need to be more vigilant. Don’t make rush decisions. Whatever you are ordering, ask about their guarantee and return policy. Some companies may charge you for this; others may not. But it helps to make sure you are buying a quality product than to be duped.

3. Do your homework. Buy only from certified sellers who have a good reputation. If you are looking into buying office supplies from a fairly new company, do your research. What are the complaints about this supplier and its services?

4. Sleep on it. As with any other decisions, whether in life or business, it pays to think it over. If your chosen supplier is legitimate, he will have no problem waiting for you to make up your mind. You don’t want a bogus supplier running away with your money in a wink.

Finding the right supplier for your replacement ink, laser and fax cartridges may take a little more time, especially if it is your first time purchasing online but the results will definitely be worth it. Or you can save time, money and peace of mind and visit the website of Printer Products Etc. a reputable and trust worthy business. Visit Now.

 Read the Fine Print

The other day I was watched “On the Money” on CNBC with Carmen Ulrich and she had a guest on her show talking about credit card debt. The guest was, Mary Hunt the founder of DebtProofLiving.com.

I wanted to share a quote she uses about credit cards and their Information and Coverage pamphlets that we receive and generally throw away once we get our credit cards. Her quote is: “What Big Print Giveth, Small Print Taketh Away” The moral is; take a few minutes and read that fine print.

An example I had happen to me was; I was traveling in Mexico and used my credit card to make a purchase of a time share (I did not carry checks and that was my only means of payment). I did not know that international purchases are subject to a “Currency Conversion Fee”. It came at a price of $200.00 extra added to that purchase. All I had to do was read the “f i n e p r i n t ” and that would never have happened.

Just thought I would share this little tidbit…….”Knowledge is power”

 Women’s Self-Empowerment Week (Jan 1-7)

What better way to start the year than by celebrating Women’s Self-Empowerment Week, a week long observance that starts on January first. This is a time for women to reflect on and feel good about their accomplishments, role in society, as well as establish new goals for the future.

Although dedicated to women, this week is really meant to be celebrated by men and women.

Self-Empowerment by the shear explanation means to inspire women to have the courage to break free from the chains of limiting belief patterns and social or religious conditioning that have traditionally kept women suppressed and unable to see their true beauty and power.

So to 2009, I say to all of you and I hope that I can heed my own words…..go forth and be comfortable being you, you are beautiful, strong and the best person you can be. This year will bring even greater and more wonderful surprises about you.

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. ”

 Wedding Bell Blues

Frugal is fashionable, no longer a dirty word. And that applies to weddings, too, which can spike into the tens of thousands of dollars — leaving you feeling spent (pun intended) before you even get started.

Having recently been married myself, I speak from experience. When I was preparing for my wedding day (started in March and was married in September 2007) and not having a significant amount of time to do so, I had to pull out all the stops in order to have my wedding look like a million dollars on a meager couple of thousands.

So I scoured books, internet, friends and just about anything I could get my hands on and have come up with a few here.

I do have a confession to make though…..I spent more money on my wedding gown than I really wanted to but that is because we all know…….”it’s all about the Bride”.

 What is a Carbon Footprint and Do I have One?

There is overwhelming evidence that our activities are contributing to climate change. The negative effects of this problem will increasingly affect all of our lives, with more extreme weather, flooding of coastal zones due to ocean levels rising, and species extinction. Deserts will expand as droughts become more severe, threatening human lives and contributing to greater political instability in already vulnerable regions.

Each of us contributes to climate change with our daily activities. The good news is that each of us can begin to help solve the problem by reducing our carbon footprint.

 Are you ready for Cyber Monday?

Did you know the Monday after Thanksgiving has been christened Cyber Monday. This day is alleged to be the busiest online shopping day of the year—with people using their internet connections at work to shop. The day, however, is not the busiest online shopping day of the year. In fact, it is nowhere near the busiest online shopping day.

Cyber Monday was coined on 19 November 2005 when Shop.org, an association of online retailers, made the claim to the New York Times that it was expecting a “substantial sales increase” on that day.

Best online shopping for those extra ink and toner cartridges (for those Christmas Printer Gifts) is just a click away. Click here.

 Black Friday History

The term dates to at least 1975, when it appears in the New York Times on 29 November:
Philadelphia police and bus drivers call it “Black Friday”—that day each year between Thanksgiving Day and the Army-Navy game. It is the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year in the Bicentennial City as the Christmas list is checked off and the Eastern college football season nears conclusion.

 A Day to Reflect

  • November 28th, 2008

“Thankfulness is measured by the number of words; Gratitude is measure by the nature of our actions.”

Today is a day we reflect on what we are thankful for and give thanks to our bountiful harvest. Sound almost “pilgrimish”, I know but our bountiful harvest comes in many forms and fashion. As we see from the quote above thankfulness would appear to be just a number of words but the ultimate to that is our gratitude which would most likely be a daily display of our actions. I guess to use another quote would have to be “Actions speak louder than words”. That is not to say that we should forget our thankfulness of even small acts such as the cashier bagging your groceries at the grocery store or the person who holds the door open for you warrants a “thank you” with a smile and how about that driver who allows you to take the last parking space or make the turn before him or her. I know you are probably thinking, when does that happen?. Well it does and it may not be often but it is that one moment of thankfulness that can be infectious. You can “pass forward” kindness one to another. Reciprocate the gesture to another complete stranger. Try it and see it does become infectious.

Feeling thankful and grateful are great ways to warm your heart and others during this holiday season. Small acts of kindness not only benefit the receiver but they also benefit the giver as well. This can be something we don’t just wait for the holidays to begin doing let it begin on Thanksgiving Day and carry it through each and everyday.

My thanks to all who have come into my life and to those who have left their footprint and gone to another place I am what I am and who I am because of you all. I look forward to all those who will also have our paths intersect at some point in time. Fate is just waiting for the right moment.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and hope your day was a day of reflection, as was mine.
