Found Not Lost

You can chuck it up to PMS or just being in a bad mood, but some things can be so irritating sometimes that it just makes you stew. Ever get that way? Especially when it comes to insensitive oafs who always open their mouth too fast, leaving their brains behind?

That’s how I felt last night. I just wanted to wring someone’s neck. Instead, I saw a passage in an email that made me stop and think. It made me put things into the right perspective and made me realize that what I was hyperventilating about wasn’t even worth sneezing for.

Has that ever happened to you? Well next time it does, take a deep breath and think of how much you’re extending your life just by not letting the small stuff get to you.

One of the best ways to save energy is to have solar power installed in our homes. However, only a small percentage of homeowners are utilizing solar energy to append their power use. Ulster bank, which has branches in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, just launched a discounted mortgage for people who utilize solar power in their homes. Isn’t that amazing?

Mortgages usually take a huge chunk out of our budgets; but with a 50% discount off the bank’s variable rate, this could translate into substantial savings! This is to encourage homeowners to use the money they save to install solar technology in their homes. A pre-approved agreement with Solarcentury, a solar energy company, to install solar panels at an affordable cost is determined at the time that you arrange your mortgage loan.

What an innovative way to encourage everyone to make a dent in their carbon footstep.

Having a little something something thrown in is not always a good thing. One case of this is where free WordPress themes are concerned. WordPress is the greatest blogging platform because of how easy it is to customize the look of your blog. The layouts are professional and easy to work with and best of all, most of them are free.

However, when you download free themes, just make sure that you are downloading them from a reputable site or from the designer’s sites directly. Read this post about Trojan Themes to see what I’m talking about.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the nationwide beef recall. Here in North Carolina, 25 school districts are affected, including Wake county, one of the largest in the state. Wake county has to dispose 35,000 pounds of beef!

Districts that have 50 cases or less of beef are allowed to trash the beef themselves by dousing it with chlorine to discourage scavengers from eating it. When you have 35,000 pounds though, you can’t just put it in the dumpster. The district is appealing for government help to dispose of the tainted beef safely and responsibly. I wonder how they will get rid of all that beef! I guess a cookout would be out of the question.

I just hope that some jerk doesn’t decide to make money from this and recycle the beef back on the open market.

I would show a photo of my bathroom, but it is just too embarassing. It is in bad need of a make over. The paint is peeling, the shower curtain is torn, and the grout is stained. Oh, not to mention the commode is wobbling. Since the girls have grown, we haven’t really used the tub so one solution I was thinking of to get rid of that darn curtain is a stand alone shower. This will also free up some room in our little bathroom. Shower Enclosures are not the boxy contraptions that they used to be. The new designs are very sleek and contemporary.
