Unsightly Varicose Veins

Leave a comment

When my friend, Mary, told me that she is “suffering” from varicose veins, I told her that she should not worry about it because it is a very common problem.

However, Mary said that she is suffering from low self-esteem because of that! I told her that if this is so, she can always “cover up” with long skirts or pants. But Mary says that covering up does not get to the root of the problem. Mary also associates Varicose or Vericose Veins, with old age. Well, it is just ONE of the many factors!

I guess when a person’s mind is fixated on something, it is hard to get her to think about something else!

Do you think that Mary should do something about her veins? She said that there are treatments for this. Although I think that her condition is not that bad, Mary thinks that she should arrest the problem while it is at the “not so bad” stage. Hhmm I think it’s ultimately up to her. The most important thing is to be happy with herself!

TigaP’s New Captcha Format

Leave a comment

Did you notice a new Captcha format for TigaP opportunities? I think that is pretty awful! Previously, the Captcha tests us visual and our ability to decipher these strange words that are not real words.

Now? They are testing our reading speed, typing speed AND History, mathematics and English vocabulary.

Who was the first President of the United States (Last name only)? Do you know Washington? If you have put anything other than Washington, you would have failed to reserve your opp. Teettt that’s History, American History, for you. This is like asking an American who was Malaysia’s first Prime Minister?

Be prepared to also answer questions like, so-and-so earned $50 from blogging for five days. How much did she earn per day? So, here is the opp for $2500 and you are supposed to do this really simple math of dividing $50 by five and yet due to nervousness, you could very well know the answer but still key in the wrong numbers, know what I mean?

Whatever, I just see these little things as obstacles for us to overcome if we still want to be in the game.

Travel

Choosing The Right Hotel

Leave a comment

My friend, Fatty, asked me if I like to plan for a holiday. I said no, because when I can get away for a holiday, it is always a last minute trip and you know how last minute reservations for EVERYTHING can be, right?

However, I am not a frequent traveler so when it comes to planning for a vacation, I cannot compare to him. Fatty plans ALL his family vacations to a T and all his wife and children have to do is to enjoy themselves.

Fatty also asked me what I look for in my hotels. Frankly, when it comes to accommodation, five star hotels are way out of my budget, so what I look for in my hotels are just cleanliness, amenities, location and of course the low rates.

Fatty told me that I should also check out reviews of hotels and user ratings. Just like when he made hotel reservations for an Italian holiday where he read through the reviews of a Rome hotel which he eventually booked and also a Milan hotel based on user ratings. The more people who are satisfied enough with a hotel to take the trouble to get online to rate it, the higher points it will score in Fatty’s book.

This year end, Fatty plans to take his family to London because a cousin is getting married. Can you believe that he has already started doing his comparison research on London hotels right now and it is only just February?

I teased him about it but he said that this is what I should do for my trip to Paris too! He said that I should not simply make reservations for a Paris hotel just because it is cheap. Well, I don’t know. I can’t even spare the time to do such a thorough research. Perhaps I can solicit Fatty’s help since he seems to enjoy vacation planning and he seems to have all the time in the world to do so!

What Do You Think Of Yahoo’s Rejection of Microsoft’s Bid?

Leave a comment

I know this is stale news but I wanted to write it for a long time now but just never been able to put thoughts to words. While Yahoo! has their own reasons why this bid was rejected, I was rather looking for ward to it. Mainly, it will be fresh and I am sure webmasters like myself would have looked forward to new products that could help us make more money online.

And it is also high time for Yahoo! to open their Network advertisement program to the rest of the world. Hey, there are many quality sites outside of the United States, you know?

Now that this merger proposal has been rejected, there is nothing to look forward to to counter that Big G’s weight and size. I believe that a co-operation between Yahoo! and Microsoft would have done it.

Getting A Bad Credit Card Loan

1 Comment

It’s no longer surprising that more and more people have bad credit rating. And this group of people is getting younger and younger as well. Some will put it down to lifestyle and some will put it down to mismanagement of finances. Whatever it is, if you have bad credit rating, it always will be held against you because you are considered a high risk to lenders.

If you are living in Austin and you have bad credit rating, you can still take out car loans that are especially tailored for people with bad credit rating. There are lenders that provide Bad credit car loans Austin, Texas and they don’t make it troublesome to apply for it!

Smorty Has A Forum & Blog Now

2 Comments

Did you know that Smorty has a forum and blog now? I am fine with blogs but I don’t like forums, especially forums of money making sites. We all know about all the bitching in TigaP forum and how most of the problems stemmed from jealousy. That’s why I never participate in forums like these. Heck, I have RETIRED from forumming ages ago, way before I even started blogging. Basically, forums are places where people who are looking for a fight go to because they do not have anything else better to do.

Anyway, if you do not know about it yet, check it out. You can sign in to the forum with your regular Smorty user ID and password.

Oh yea, while you are logged into Smorty, perhaps you want to select an image for your avatar. I wanted to change mine but the ready made avatars do not have a female version so I left mine blank, until I could find another image to use.

Basically, I don’t care for all these. All I want are offers!! GIMME OFFERS!!!

People Leaving For The Suburbs

Leave a comment

Just now, I read this article that says People leaving for the suburbs in London and I have to agree. I have a cousin sister and friends who are working in London and they all tell me they prefer to buy a house in the suburbs.

According to my friend, Sitt, mortgages in the suburbs are way lower compared to London housing and according to this article, every kilometre that a person has to travel out of London will shave a thousand British Pounds off property prices.

Also, the farther homes are away from London City, and yet within traveling distance by commuter lines, the better the quality of life is. When parents want to raise a family, they will prefer to do so in the suburbs.

Personally, I prefer to live in the city but was told that living in London City is not cheap at all!
