Cash Via Structured Settlements

Months ago, when I first discovered structured settlement and thought that it would be a good option for people who would like a lump sum of cash, someone chided me, saying that I know nothing about the ins and outs of structured settlements. It’s true and that’s why I have taken the time to read about it.

The internet is a great place to learn whatever we want to learn about and I do most of my search for information online. When it comes to structured settlements, it is the same.

Just now, I was told that I could learn all about structured settlements and more from the website of StoneStreet Capital. I learned that many lottery winners who at first opted for an installment plan have benefited from structured settlements where they received a lump sum of cash instead. Sure, the amount is a little less but if you compare that loss to the potential of growing your money from that lump sum of money either through bank interests or property and stock investments, that amount lost initially is insignificant.

Of course, I don’t think that most of us would be lucky enough to strike a jackpot like that but there are many instances where people may be a recipient of a structured settlement. While having this option out cash out of structured settlements is a positive one, there are instances where it is not a good idea to get a lump sum of cash, especially for people who do not know how to manage their finances!

Social Bookmarking Plug-Ins For WordPress

As the owner of four WordPress blogs with four more in the works, I have been trying to look for a good social bookmarking plug in for all my blogs. I would like to place those fancy buttons at the bottom of each post so that my readers could conveniently Digg, Reddit, Sphinn, Stumble or whatever them… without such a button, I know I am losing potential readers because most people will not take the trouble to do it. Personally, I won’t even REMEMBER to do so if not for all the buttons in front of my face.

Sure, I have del.icio.us and Stumble Upon on my toolbar BUT I did not opt to have my toolbar shown because I wanted to expand my screen real estate so with the toolbars hidden, I hardly use them.

I know that many people are the same as well. So, do you know of any good, easy-to-install social bookmarking plug-ins for WordPress which I could use?

Alamak… to think that when then prefect one has been found and I would have to go around my blogs to install, activate, customize and embed the codes! Eeeyerrrrrr!!!

Information On Home Security & Insurance

Although I do not own a home, I am paying for the insurance of the home. How ironic. The other day, I had a talk with my mom about increasing the policy of our homeowners insurance because that policy was taken a long time ago and what my mom did was just renew it year in and out without considering that we now have many more valuable electrical and electronic items at home.

But how much should our home be insured for? My mom has yet to speak to our insurance agent. Just now, I was doing a little research to learn more about homeowners insurance before talking to our agent to increase our policy. Little did I know that keeping two large breed dogs in our home could be considered risky in terms of insurance coverage. I just read this information from a site called HomeSecurityInformation.com.

Besides this article, there are also many articles on home security and information on homeowners insurance that I think every home owner should read because they are useful. Like I said, I don’t even own a home but I have to do this little research for my own knowledge and also because money is coming out of my own pocketbook *sigh*

I Can’t Access Hotmail On iPhone Anymore

I don’t know what happened but this morning, I was reading my Hotmail email messages and the next minute, I can’t even log into my account anymore! I tried logging in with another Hotmail account and it also does not work. I kept thinking maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me and that I have keyed in the wrong User ID or password… but they are correct.

I thought maybe the Hotmail server is down because retrieval from Outlook Express which I normally use, was f@rked up that’s why I was reading mail from my iPhone.

So I used my Nokia E61i and it was fine, I could log in. Isn’t that strange? I used my desktop and it was fine as well. Hhmmm I did a search on the internet to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem where we kept being looped to the log in page, sometimes with an error message that our User ID or password is wrong and sometimes without any error message at all, but there was no such posts on the web.

Urghh ultra frustrated!

Budget Trade Show Displays and Banner Stands

The management of my company assigned me to be in charge of bringing our company to a trade fair. Frankly, I know nothing about setting up booth and pushing out the name of our company and introducing our products to new people. I was told that I can just follow what my predecessor had done from booking a spot to renting banner stands, projector, laptops and briefing and assigning staff to be there on that particular day.

So after reading the documents, I was thinking that perhaps I could lower our cost a little. Of course, rental of a booth is already fixed unless we wanted an obscure spot but I believe that I could get cheaper trade show displays, projector and laptops.

The first thing I always do is to research and compare prices on the internet. Hah… did you know that I could get cheap banner stands online? I was surprised that the prices locally are way more expensive. One would think that a local store could offer us a more competitive price but that is not the case.

As an example, if you check the website of Camelback Displays, they have such a large selection of banner stands and even custom designed truss to meet all our display needs without breaking our budget. And yes, BUDGET is the keyword with Camelback Displays!

I’m Mad [Gila]!!

If you have read my post a couple of days ago, you will know that I bought a few domain names. Frankly, as a noob who does not know much about WordPress or website building, I am really too ambitious already. And to have to learn to do all these by myself from scratch is going to take me a few months to get them started.

And….. this morning, while I was browsing a few Blogger blogs, I was thinking that I should get templates for my blogger blogs! Eeeyyerrrrr!!!

Those who know me, know that I have three Blogger blogs. Can you believe that I would want to add more work to myself at this point? Tell me I am not mad!!!

As you probably know also, I prefer three column templates and my Blogger blogs have only two templates. Yea, I know I have a lot of junk to display on my sidebar! But when I think of all the work, I really want to give up. And not forgetting the AdSense code. Eyeerrr!!! So much work to do, so little time!!!

Are Those New Online Casinos Any Good?

A guy asked me how I know which the best online casinos to play in are. Well, I don’t really know. That’s why I rely so heavily on the opinions of professional online casino reviewers who are also professional gamblers who have tried and tested these online casinos.

Betting online, especially with so many new online casinos sprouting out, it is important to read expert opinion first. Which online casino will give us fair value for our money in terms of bonuses and bonus structure, game variety and graphics, customer service and most of all, will this online casino give us the right ambience of gambling in a real casino? To me, these factors are the most important when spending time and money on an online casino.

I have actually spent a considerable amount of time going through various websites and blogs that provide reviews of the top online casinos. One of the latest that I was recommended to just earlier today was Bret Casinos.

Have you ever wondered which casinos accept American players? Wonder no more and find out the answer on Bret Casinos!
