Weekend Plans: Upgrading to iPhone With Verizon
I have wanted the iPhone for a long time now and never could get it because we are stuck on a Verizon plan.
This has been great except I could never get an iPhone...until now.
I can't tell you how psyched I am!!!

Can't Miss the Superbowl!!!
Friends,
I have a dilemma.
My boss just asked me to come into work on a Sunday. Normally, this is no big deal as I get paid double-time. In fact, I love it.
However, the Sunday that I have to work is Superbowl Sunday and I don't want to miss it. I figure nobody is going to be there so I can easily watch the Superbowl online while I am at work.
Does any know if that link that I just pointed to works? Can I watch football there?
I have also heard of the NFL Game Pass and channelsurfing.net. Which is best of all of these?
Please answer before the big day!
Go Packers!

Financial Thoughts
Thus, I have been Investigating Retirement Options and trying to come up with a way to maximize the money that I will have available when I retire. Right now, I make enough to live very well on and I do not foresee losing my job.
However, I am aware that this could happen and so I do have a "6 month emergency fund" if that is absolutely necessary. It is simply sitting in a savings account and not making any money.
My retirement is looking pretty good as I have been maxing out my 401k throughout the years. But, I have recently learned How To Open A Roth IRA and that this is a very good idea as far as retirement goes.
The maximum contribution each year is $5000 after tax dollars. This will mean setting aside about $400 dollars per week. I think I can do that if I just do some basic things.
In this way, a Roth IRA and max 401k contributions, I am thinking that I will be looking good when retirement. Well, financially at least ;)

Christmas Ideas
I have no Selfish Christmas Desires but Christmas is not a time to be selfish. It is a time to be selfless and soul-Full. Thus, I am feeling extra charitable this time of year and am here to to give you some ideas for the Best Christmas Gifts of 2009.
This will be easy because the ideas are all fresh in my head. Let's get started.
Get the people you most a love a digital picture frame pre-filled with the pictures of the two of you. Pre-filled is the key. If they have to do the work, it's not a gift, it's a chore.
Get the readers in the life you love an Amazon Kindle. They'll remember it everytime they use it...which will be everyday.
Get sports fans in your life tickets to their favorite team game. This shows both time and effort put in on your part.
Get yourself a nice watch. Yours is old and stagnant. Go with a Tag Heuer watch and you will never need to buy another.
Get everyone in your life a nice Christmas Card and write a note to them. Any personalized gift is a good one.
And, finally, tell everyone that you love that you love them. It's the best gift that you can give this year.
...stay tuned, I'll have more shortly and it won't take 5 more months :)
A Tale of Dolly Parton
My first Dolly memory is from the movie 9 to 5 and she appealed to me in every way. Her genuine smile and kindness, along with her other assets, set my young mind in a good frame. Since then, I have followed her career and thrilled to see her make a comeback.
Her new album contains the song Jolene which is now not only one of the top country hits but one of the top singles in the country is a classic. Apparently, she performed this song, and all the songs from the album, live from London.
The odd thing about this was that I did not even know that they like country music in London. Although come to think of it that is where the Dixie Chicks got into trouble for their George Bush comments so maybe they do have a bit of country audience.
Along with Dolly, my two other country favorites are George Strait and Randy Travis. Each of their songs tell a story and they sing with such silky smooth voices.
It surprises me little that country music has gone mainstream. There is truly a tale in every song and the voices are selling point, not skinclad, sexiness with no soul!

A Stock Tale
Why not? Well, I was never too risky. I went with safe stocks. And do you know what safe stocks get you? Well, these "safe" stocks all crumbled, went out of business, and otherwise cheated me out of my money.
Now, I am investigating ways to make money fast online but I don't know if it is really possible. We are going to research and find out. It seems that whenever you talk to anyone about the internet the word Google is always mentioned. How have they done so well? What are their angles?
If you see the world around you as "not enough", then you are only affirming more of what you don't want. You could make so much money. Who says you cannot give yourself a stimulus package? But if your looking for a proven step by step system that you can use to bring in money whenever you want, then read on. Money is an energetic flow. Finding out which ways are more profitable than others can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. That is pretty self-explanatory. I will discuss a couple of different ways to make money. Once you have found one, you can become its affiliate and use your website to market their products or services. This way you can market your products or services to more people rather an opening a shop or a company down the street. Simply, you need to find your products and then promote them as an affiliate. Many merchants are looking for bloggers to review their products. And you can do the same with your clients! All the things to work on this business such as products, training materials, etc are all provided. One of the simplest and quickest ways is to sell information products online. Once you have mastered it, you can earn income whenever there is a sale. It's important to keep a benefits oriented focus in your marketing efforts. However, keep in mind that it's more than just telling people about the product.
You definitely have to do your homework before embarking on making money online with Google but it's well worth the effort. The task of making money can hardly be categorized as an easy one, but when you add the right ingredients in the mix you can certainly make it a lot easier. Your friends might know of a position that is now available, but has not been made aware by the general public.
That's because whenever you talk to anyone about the internet the word Google is always mentioned. The goal is to get as many Twitter followers as possible who are actually interested in what you have to tweet about. For nothing at all. Bloggers can also generate income from pay-per-click advertisements provided by the major search engines such as Google and Yahoo. The thing to focus on is to be Persistent! The latter of the three is going to be the most expensive way since you are paying money for clicks, and the cheapest would be to start a blog since it is hosted for free if you use blogger.com. According to the Netcraft Web Server Survey done in April, 2009, there are over 231,510,169 websites.
Yes, it's that simple. This is precisely the beauty of this business, you do not have to chase down anybody to make sales, find and get paid for leads or generate ad revenue. There is work involved, so if you are looking for a quick fix that requires no work on your part then I can't help you. Spending money on your own personal and professional growth is a true investment. Quite the opposite. If you want a fast and simplified way to locate internet survey sites that give you the most money through PayPal, you need to know two things.
In fact Google hosts blogs for free and will even promote your blog to get high rankings.
So, I will create few blogs and see where I get. This perhaps will be my beginning or another time waster and I'll go back to "safe-investing".
