Sinking

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

I ran across an unusual story today that I thought I would share with everyone. It’s about a sinkhole that appeared in the Dead Sea shore in Israel. A man named Eli Raz who is a geologist was walking along the shore of the Dead Sea when a 30 foot hole opened up and swallowed him. The man was in the hole for 14 hours before rescuers came to his aid. He felt lucky to be alive.

Caused by a severe water shortage, these events are more and more common. Since the Dead Sea is receding, fresh water flowing under the sands cause holes to open up. This has disrupted plans for new buildings as well as being the reason for closures of existing institutions such as hotels and a navel base. I hope that the Israelis will recognize the seriousness of the situation and take steps to prevent their further happening!

Don’t be Embarrassed!

Every day, people do embarrassing things. Being human beings, it’s inevitable. Some of these things are preventable. One such thing is having bad credit. This can be embarrassing and a nuisance as much needed loans are harder to get. If there is anyone out there who has this particular problem, I may have a solution for you. I want you to check out a site called repairyourbadcredit.com. They helped me in the past and I think they may be able to help you as well.

There are many aspects to credit repair. When you want to be approved for a loan and can’t get it, you still have options. This site will help you get the credit repair information that you need. They have many ideas you can put into practice that are easy to do. It doesn’t involve a lot of time either. If you follow their advice, you may be able to have a clean credit report.

There was a time when I was embarrassed to talk about my credit score. I no longer have that problem. I am proud to say that I can qualify for a lot of money for any type of loan if I need it. I still maintain conservative monetary practices, but I know that in a pinch I can get a loan if needed. I suggest that everyone be prepared to find a nice surprise after visiting this site. I hope you will let me know how things turn out!

My Crazy Cats

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

We have three cats at this point. Minkze is the eldest and he lies around a lot during the day until the night comes and then he wants to go out and check his territory. Isis is the young female cat we took in from the street. She is doing well now and has found a place in our home. She does eat a lot though, but is growing fast. Our third cat is a kitty named meow meow.

Each morning you can hear the cats running around the house and playing. They chase each other up and down the stairs and make a raucous. Sometimes they will hide around a corner and jump on anyone who passes by. They love to play with strings and paper balls. I really enjoy our pets and hope they like being here as much as we enjoy having them.

Showing some Style

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Our neighborhood looks pretty much the same as you drive through it. There are only four or five different styles of houses and color schemes. Things can be very monotonous as you pass down the street. There are a few things that are up to each individual household that can set them apart from everyone else. One of these things is mailboxes. By selecting a unique one, people can show their style.

We were tired of the standard mailbox that was installed when we bought our house. We thought that by purchasing a different one, we could set ourselves apart from everyone else on the block. We looked into the situation and I found a website called mailboxixchange.com that had thousands of mail boxes to choose from. We all had our own favorites, but finally decided on one that we all liked.

Now that we have a brand new mailbox, we are happy with our selection. Whenever I give directions to someone who hasn’t visited us before, I describe our box as it is easily recognizable. I have received several comments from neighbors who asked where they can get a box as well. I am always ready with the answer to that!
