Hubby is thinking of getting one of the inexpensive Acer netbooks next month.

He should as it is of $299.99 now, plus free shipping.

I think hubby should go ahead and purchase it since there is still money left after deducting our debt repayments, utility bills, and home and car loan installments.

Phew, I renewed all those domains which were going to expire in November last week.

Only this dot us which is going to expire in November that I haven’t renewed. The renewal fee is $20, so it has to wait.

My blogging pal’s family member who is undergoing treatments for Mesothelioma is so worried about A-H1N1 as he is in the high risk group.

It’s scary that the influenza A-H1N1 cases are still on the increase, right?

You see, a luxury resort of the Rancho Bernardo is offering rooms for $19 a night, if you don’t mind sleeping in a tent.

While some parents believe it’s motivating for children to be rewarded with money for chores or good grades, the resounding advice is a definite ‘no’.

It’s not a good idea to pay children for simple chores such as putting away the dishes and sweeping the floor. Such routine chores are the basic responsibilities of every family member.
