My girlfriend’s sister always has debt collection agencies calling her and her boyfriend because they have a hard time paying some of their bills on occasion. I was talking to her boyfriend the other day while they were over at our place, and he was talking about spending all of this money on Black Friday deals and how he’s going to buy them a new big screen plasma 1080p TV and I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I try not to say anything to them about how badly they manage their money just to keep things cool between us, but that was just ridiculous.
One of the guys I know at work has been trying to get me to buy wholesale electronics from a guy he knows in the city. He says that his brother works for an online wholesaler like Liquidation.com and Overstock and that he can buy items that they sell online for about half of what they sell for on their website. I’ve always been told that if a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is. I don’t know if I trust this guy or not.
I had a cousin that had a drug problem for several years. Everyone in our family was trying to get him to go into rehab for addiction treatment, but he constantly refused. Finally, after he overdosed and was hospitalized, he agreed to addiction treatment. We were all relieved to know that he was finally seeking help. He has now been clean and sober for over 3 years. His entire life has changed after checking into a drug rehab center and he wished he would have done it many years ago. If more people would be aware of how it could change their life, more people would get addiction treatment. That is the best way to being drug and alcohol free, rather than spending your life behind bars.
Today I came across a website called CarAngel.com. It’s basically a service that allows you to donate cars and other items and they then sell the cars and items and use the money to make childrens videos. This actually seems like an interesting company. I’ve never really heard of anything like this, but I’m all for it, if it helps kids. I’m going to talk with my girlfriend tonight and see what she thinks about donating an old car that we never use anymore.
A good friend of mine just checked himself into a drug rehabilitation facility. He has struggled with drugs and alcohol for about 12 years and all of his friends and family finally convinced him that it was time for a change. I went with him to look at several drug and alcohol rehab facilities until we found one that he felt comfortable with. We were told that he’ll probably be in drug rehab for about 2 months, give or take a couple of weeks. I really hope this helps him turn his life around.
The other day I was walking out of a record store in the city and some guy walked up and asked if I wanted to buy some gold chains, gold rings, gold bracelets or gold watches. I was half tempted to buy something, but you really never know if youre getting real gold from them kind of people. It was probably real gold, but with my luck it would be some 99 cent store junk.
I was in total disbelief when I heard about some kids in New York who burnt a homeless man to his death as he laid in front of a church. I mean what is this world coming to? What did that old man ever do to society? This is unreal I can’t imagine how parents could raise their kids to be so evil. I hope they get life for what they did. If I were the judge I won’t even give them a trial. Just put them in jail. It’s unbelievable.
My wifes brother has been using Hoodia 750 diet pills for about a month now. He takes 3 capsules a day. One before breakfast, one before lunch and one before dinner. He says that it’s actually helping him lose alot of weight and he’s recommending it to everyone he knows that’s looking for a diet pill that actually works. I’m really happy he has finally found something that works, he’s really struggled with his weight for a while.
I was reading an article a few days ago about relationships and I thought about my own husband who is hell-bent on always becoming the victor when we argue. Most of the times I’m the one that is right in the argument but he won’t ever admit that. So the article says that whenever a woman is arguing with a man, she should tell always tell him “you’re right” followed by “but this is what I want to do.” I’m gonna try that with this hasty husband of mine. Lord knows I can’t deal with the arguments.
A while back my friend and I were going to a local bar to play some pool. We pulled into the parking lot next to a guy that was leaving. When the guy backed his car out, his front end smashed into the side of my friends car. We both got out to talk to the guy and asked for his insurance information and what not. He claimed he had no insurance and there was nothing he could do about the damage! We both got pretty upset and the guy just drove off. Luckily a few people inside knew who the guy was and we were able to file a police report and get the damages fixed.
