In his new book, Hunger and Other Stories by Ian Randall Wilson, you will find several spell binding stories. One story, in particular, that I found interesting was called The Wire Man. This story is about a son who can’t stand his father, a self-made entrepreneur. The son, divorced from his wife and separated from his son, decides to strike out and go into business on his own. He ends up getting deeper and deeper into debt, all the time hearing his father’s taunting words of his failure in the background. He soon realizes that he is starting to act just like his father, causing his own son to look at him through different eyes as well.
Ian Randall Wilson is a very talented writer and has a unique way of colorfully approaching the human dilema. I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Last night our furnace started messing up. It would try to kick on then shut off, kick on then shut off. It did that a good ten times before finally kicking on enough to heat the house. It did this all night long, every 20 minutes or so. I called the repair guy this morning and thankfully he was able to come out this afternoon. He looked the furnace over and all it needed was a coil or something cleaned. it had carbon buildup on it and wasn’t reading the temperature of the flame or something like that. Anyway, it’s working fine now. Just glad it didn’t decide to mess up when it was super cold outside. Today it is in the 40’s so I’ve not had to worry about bundling up to keep from freezing.
You’ve probably seen the commercials on tv, like the one where the blonde woman is wanting to go into the ocean and play with the “dolphins” (they’re really sharks). She then gets hit in the head with a box from Vonage and the announcer says One smart decision among many many stupid ones.
If you’re wondering what Vonage is all about, there is an excellent website that will answer pretty much any question you might have about them. Just click HERE to visit. The Vonage VoIP forums have categories that discuss the technical aspects of Vonage as well as the pros and cons of using their service. You can visit these forums as well as sign up for their newsletter.

I love to shop online and anytime I do, I try to find the best deal out there. Sometimes that means finding the website that offers the cheapest product, but my favorite way to save money online is by using coupon codes. This way I can shop at my favorite online store, Brylane Home, and save money even if the price is a bit higher then other websites.
CouponChief.com is my favorite place to find coupon codes. And right now, Brylane Home has several deals listed, such as 20% off your favorite item! Just in time for me since I’m redecorating my master bedroom and am in need of several new items. I’m sure I’ll be able to find my “favorite”!
While out fishing this past weekend, this humongous fish jumped out of the pond and into my son’s fishing net. You should have seen the one that got away!
And if you believe that fish tale then I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you:) Actually, this is a pillow. It was one of several things that he received for his birthday over the weekend. WHY on EARTH anyone would want a fish pillow is beyond me, but he seems to be enjoying it and it is kind of comfy.
My email program has been down all afternoon and it is really starting to cause me grief. Email is my lifeline to the outside world and my friends. I don’t know what the deal with it is either. I’ve called our service provider and the tech guy said to give it a bit then try again, there wasn’t anything wrong on their end. So I did that, but still nothing. Argh! It’s amazing how much we rely on technology now and how quickly we go insane when it’s not available.
If you live in the UK and are looking for a credit card, the Mint Credit Card could be just what you are looking for. Mint offers credit cards with 0% on purchases and balance transfers until December 1, 2007, 0% bonus offer until August 1, 2008, on balance transfers done in February 2008, typical 16.9% APR, up to £7500 credit limit and several other fantastic options.
MINT introduced the Mint credit card in 2003. The card was offered as two versions, a standard credit card and the MC2 card which has the bottom right-hand corner removed. This was the first change to the shape of credit cards in the UK for 37 years.
Mint also offers gift cards, which were first launched in September 2006. It is basically a pre-paid credit card that you can give as a gift. Giving this card as a gift gives the recipient the option of shopping in whatever store he or she chooses rather then being tied down to just one particular store. Gift cards can be given in amounts ranging from £10 to £250, can be personalized with a special message and the recipient can keep track of the balance by signing up for text message alerts.
