Technology Advances, or steps backwards?
Thursday, July 29, 2010
I just got a new bank card. It has an embedded chip in it. This chip stores information, and then gives it out when the card is read by a machine. The problem appears to be that these cards are designed to make the life of the banks and financial institutions easier, and not so much to protect the consumer. When we read the hype about these cards, we get the impression that they are more secure than the old magnetic strip type of card, but this is not actually so. They emit a signal, and this can be detected and sometime read while the card is not meant to be in use. The answer to this is the rfid blocking wallet that effectively shields the radio type signals, and makes it so that the information on the card is only able to be read when the card is intended to be used.

Moving House
Sunday, July 25, 2010
It is great to be moving house, but I will be glad when it is all done. Then all I have to put up with is Hubby's whining about where this is, or where that is. He could find all his stuff if he would just keep it tidy in boxes, then it would be in the same box at the new place as it was at the old place.
But, anyway, he will have fun digging through all his junk again, looking for stuff.

RV Breakdowns
Friday, July 23, 2010
Say that instead of owning one RV, you owned a thousand. And say a few broke down, then if the cost was figured out as an average per RV, it would be more manageable than if you, as an RV owner, get caught out with a large breakdown while on the road, and more to the point, likely to be far from home. That is a good reason to cover for any rv repairs by having good breakdown insurance. The insurer spreads the load, and, sure, you pay a little even if you do not break down, but sure as heck you save a whole bunch of cash if you happen to be unlucky enough to get stranded.

Did I say Huuby, I meant Hubby!
Sunday, July 18, 2010
I see that in the title of a post a while ago, I did a typo. Now, I could change it by editing it, but why do that, when I have just invented a new word, and the great thing is, it rhymes with 'booby', which might reflect the true attitude of many of us towards our Hubbies.

Log Furniture
Saturday, July 10, 2010
Log furniture sounds like a weird thing to have, until you take a look at what is available. Now, obviously, you can fit it into a log home, or cottage, but it can also be used in a more modern environment, the only caution being to take care to choose any other furniture carefully. The best way to go is to have a room where all the furniture is log furniture, and with accessories that match that same style.

Huuby's Boat Will Now Float!
Monday, July 05, 2010
Hubby managed to locate where it was that he had a leak in his 'new' boat. There had been a previous repair, but the preparation had not been fully done, so, there was stuff in the way of where the old patch had been placed. So, it looks like he can move on away from that issue, once he has covered back up the damage he did digging down to find the leak. His next project on it, he told me, is to get the engine running. Should be interesting.

Comparing Weight Loss Pills
Sunday, July 04, 2010
You must have visiting web pages where the company that runs the page gives lots of hype about the product that they offer. Most of us are not taken in, I am sure. I mean, I could create a web page and make whatever claims I wanted, and that wouldn't mean that it was all accurate.
To get away from this, the best thing I can think of is to go to a web page where the best weight loss pills are compared, and reviewed. This, if the web page is set up to be clear in how the information is presented, will allow good and fair comparison, not only of the way the products work, but also, in most cases, the prices. Some web pages such as that will even allow you to shop, right there online.

Sweating Out Summer
Thursday, July 01, 2010
It came at last. Summer. The heat is just about as much as I can stand right now.
Good to have air conditioning in the van, although we do not have any at home in the apartment. We will be moving from there soon anyway. The landlord runs it very poorly, despite being one of the largest property rental companies in the Halifax area. I guess greed is behind it. Very poor customer service, and things seem to be left unrepaired. Right now, we have no hot water. It has happened a few times before, but only when they were working on the building.
