Securing Parking Space Online

When my cousin, Jasmine, informed me that she is planning to buy a car, the first question I asked her was, “Are you sure you will be able to find a parking space for it?” You see, Jasmine lives in London and we all know how difficult it is to find a convenient parking space for the car and even if it is available, it won’t come cheap. That’s why my friend, Sitt, prefers to ride the bicycle than to get a headache over London parking!!

According to Jasmine, she could apply for parking space to rent which could be as cheap as £150 per month right up to £500 per month or more. Of course, the rate is based on exclusivity of the location and convenience and how secure it is.

I was told that Park Let is a leading company in London that specializes in securing parking spaces and garages to car owners who may have difficulty finding a suitable parking space. By accessing the website of Park Let, vehicle owners in London would be able to check out the in depth information of each available parking space including price, distance to the nearest station and location map of the space and then apply from the site.

With the convenience of securing parking space on the web, parking in London may never be a problem again for the web savvy.

Upgraded To WordPress 2.3.2

Phew…. I finally upgraded three of my four WordPress blogs to version 2.3.2 and it took me the whole afternoon. Six of my plug-ins were outdated so I had to download those and update them first.

The stupid thing was I started with the blog that just could not update automatically. Well I didn’t know at first so I waited and waited. Once I decided to go ahead and upgrade the other three blogs, it was a breeze. All plug-ins updated and WordPress as well.

As for the one that was stuck, I decided not to upgrade it and hope that by the time the new version of WordPress comes out tomorrow (they are released so fast it feels like only yesterday the old version was released!) then only do I try to upgrade it and hope it works….. I don’t know any other way to update my WordPress so it better work!!!

Dial 1-800-FLOWERS

Although Christmas and New Year is over and we think that gift-giving is history, think again…..Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us. I used to get a lot of questions from friends on what to give to their special someone and I said that giving flowers is one of the best escape routes to take. I mean, nobody can go wrong by giving flowers!!!

Did you know that it is no longer enough to give a bunch of flowers like we used to a long time ago. Bouquets like those are almost a thing of the past. Now, most florists will also have a selection of plants, gourmet gift baskets of food, candy, stuffed toys and of course, fresh flowers!

I was told of this online florist at 1800flowers where they have a vast selection of these items that are suitable for any budget and occasion. Like I mentioned, if you have run out of gift ideas, it’s time to fall back on the trusty gift of flowers coupled with a gourmet gift basket and it is not very expensive either!

I was surprised to note that 1800Flowers.com also serves international buyers. I thought that selling something like fresh flowers is rather tricky because they would have to ensure that the flowers remain fresh upon delivery but it looks like this isn’t even an issue with the company!

Look At My New Theme!!!

I’m so happy!! I spent a few hours customizing my new theme! How do you like it? I’ve finally got a place to embed the code for Scratch My Back. I hope someone would scratch my back… it’s ONLY $2!!!

It has been such a long time since I started searching for a three column theme and I am glad that I found one that I like and not have to “put up” with it!

My friend says that this theme is very neat and yes, that’s exactly what I have been looking for and finally found it. If I could use POOL, which I don’t really like, for twelve long months, how long do you think that I could use this? I am not going to change it so soon, since I just spent three hours customizing it. Yea, I know I am slow! I wonder how long it took the creator to come up with this theme!!!

Caregiving Resource Site

The New Year is here and we are all a year older. I remember a couple of years ago, my friend asked me how I plan to grow old. He was in his thirties and was suffering from cancer. He said that one of his worst fears was to be a burden to his family. He knows that many illnesses accompany old age, having lived with his grandmother and father who both suffered from dementia before they finally died.

When he was ill, his mother and sister were his caregivers. It was a very stressful time for everyone because it is never easy to provide caregiving to a loved on, especially one who is younger.

This morning, I was told of a caregiving resources site at http://www.agis.com/. I think that everyone of us should read through the site for valuable caregiving information. With the advancement of medicine, we are living longer but that does not mean that we are going to live at the best of health. I think that at one point or other in our lives, most of us will either end up being a caregiver or recipient.

AGIS, which stands for Assist Guide Information Services, provides caregivers resources especially for people who are planning for the future like what my friend did. This is also a good place to start to connect with other caregivers. People who are in this position know that it’s a long and lonely road ridden with doubts and guilt. Being a part of a support group would be an excellent way to build our mental strength.

My God! I Finally Found A Great Theme!!!

Yay, this morning, while reading my friend’s new blog, I suddenly went to check the credits of the theme and clicked on the creator’s site and found the perfect theme for this site. The theme is called Pop Blue and it has three columns. Yay… I have been looking for a clean three-column WordPress theme for ages. And I wanted one in blue colour as well…. just to stick to this colour scheme. Like I said, Pop Blue will be perfect for me. And it is a free theme. Yeah, I know, I am cheap.

Just now, I changed my theme for a while and it looks like something that I will be willing to spend time tweaking and personalizing to fit my own requirements.

But I have been so busy with some other kind of work and my mind is still in a holiday mood. I wonder when I can finish with my customization to spruce up my blog after one long year using POOL. I can’t wait. I wish I have someone to order around to do the “dirty” work for me!! LOL

Goji Berries At Wholesale Prices

I have not got very a good stomach unfortunately and easily suffer from gastritis. A friend told me that he has the same problem which he could keep at bay by eating more frequently but smaller portions of food.

According to my friend, Goji Berry has been pretty helpful to his condition. It is also very convenient to carry dry Goji Berries around because these could be eaten “as is” without further preparation.

Moreover, Goji Juice is a great liquid supplement just like another juice that we drink regularly. This friend told me that convenience is one thing, Goji berries are very nutritious because they are naturally rich in antioxidants.

Actually, I knew of the health benefits of the Goji berry a few months ago upon the recommendation of another friend but could not find it selling at local stores. I think my best bet would be to buy from an online store. I believe I would be able to buy them at a cheaper wholesale price as well!
