Green Bay and My Mom Don't Mix

Posted by Gaylord Campbell

I am not being overly dramatic when I say that direct TV saved my marriage. The one thing that my husband and I fight about is when I interrupt his ‘games.’ Football season used to be the worst for us, because he is a big Green Bay fan, and would get irritated when he would miss even one little part of the game. I try not to be too much of an annoyance, but one day my sister called to tell me that she was coming over for a surprise visit on Sunday, and I knew that there was a Packers game on. I also knew that my husband would absolutely refuse to miss the game to take my mom out to brunch. I guess I will never understand men, but what I CAN tell you probably saved us a huge argument was ordering Direct TV. Before I even told him that my mom was coming I went to directstartv.com and ordered recorded TV. It wasn’t even an argument with that gift attached to the news! My husband now gets to watch football with a pause button, and I save myself from being told to move out of the way! Everyone with a sports fanatic in your house should order it for sure!

I hate moving

The Author of this post is Rolando Dickerson

Moving is probably one of the most frustrating events that anyone does. First you have to pack up all of your stuff into boxes. Typically you try to organize the boxes to make unpacking easier, but let’s be honest, it never helps. Then you have to turn off all of your utilities only to turn on all new utilities somewhere else. Needless to say, I am not excited about my upcoming move. I did find a nicer place and it is a much better location. I just don’t want to go through all the pain of moving. I am almost finished turning on the utilities. I just have the electricity left. I did find Texas Electricity Providers to provide a good rate. I guess there are a few things I can be excited about regarding my new place. The complex has a wonderful pool and a fabulous workout center. Once I get all my stuff unpacked, I know I am going to love it so much more than where I am. I am just dreading the process. Oh well, wish me luck!

My Own Store

This guest post from Hong Alexander

For the longest time I just worked out of my basement doing my monograming and it was fine, that is, until I got featured in the local paper. Literally overnight my business doubled and I had more than enough work to do and not enough room to do it in! I rented a small commercial space to start but even that was too small after just a couple of months. I upgraded to the shop I’m in now and it’s been amazing – I love having clients come right in here and tell me what they’re looking for! I had to refinish all of the floors and get rid of the kitchen (it used to be a bakery) and go to total alarm systems to make sure all my things were safe at night. All in all the upgrades were totally worth it since I have ended up being here 10 or 12 hours a day ever since! Business is booming, though, so I can’t complain one bit and I absolutely love what I’m doing so it’s a win win!

Much Love For Big Love

Contribution by Hershel Vinson.

I started watching "Big Love" about 4 years ago, it quickly became something that I just couldn't not watch when it was on. Big Love is the story of a growing and changing polygamist family run by the husband named Bill. He has 3 wives as of right now and they all have really different attitudes and views on things. From the first wife Barb who is pretty much the ruler of the roost to the middle wife Nicky who came out of a polygamist compound and has very tradional compound-ish style way of living, to lastly Margene who is by far the wild child, she used to be the babysitter for the first 2 wives kids until her and Bill fell in love and got married and had kids of thier own. Bill owns a chain of "superstores" and is very p! oliticaly involved as well as all his religious endevoures. This show is not for everyone I know, however if you give it time I think the series could suck anyone in pretty quickly. This is my favorite show and luckily enough I get it through my satelite tv from www.EXPERTSATELITE.com with my premium channels, if I couldn't get this through my satelite company I would probably switch companies to get it. Every Sunday I snuggle down on the couch and enjoy my absolute favorite show!
