Talk about a rush! The paintball war games I participated in last week are so cool! They’ve changed quite a bit over the years since the first time I ever played. We were never that organized nor did we have the advantage today’s gamers have when it comes to paintball equipment. I found this fabulous paintball guns and accessories site and if you’ve ever wanted to try your luck at paintball then this is the perfect place to get your gear for the game!

I’ve decided to go with a complete new outfit myself, and since they offer what I think is the best in paintball guns, as well as other needed name brand paintball related gear, I’ve chosen one of several packages they have to offer, called the tippmann x7 package. It’s a great sniper version package that offers what I’m looking for in a paintball outfit. The best thing of all, besides that they’re the better prices, is that they offer totally FREE shipping! Now you just can’t beat that.

It was just a matter of time for my teen aged daughter to want a larger bed and mattress than she has been using all of her life. Lately she has been crawling in my bed with me at night, which is fine with me, I love having her by my side all night long, and since she has matured she no longer kicks and tosses about like she did when she was a wee one when I used to keep her in the bed between her father and me.

So I’m looking out for a good mattress sale and of course I’m only looking online since I have no intention of running all over town to all of the various bed and mattress stores that our town has to offer. A customer of mine suggested trying out coasttocoastmattress.com to see if they had any full sized mattress sale offerings, which I promptly did and was glad to see that they do have some good promotions going on right now, along with Free Delivery, which is a big money saver that I look for.

Something else that I liked about this site is that that have a Mattress Advisor tool for us to put in our preferences then they will in turn generate suggestions for your individual needs and wants.  A nice touch I have to admit.

My husband recently got a new job and there is quite a bit of travel involved with it. He is out of town at least two weeks every month and sometimes more than that. I am glad that he got the new job because it pays more and we have better insurance. Sometimes I get to travel with him too and I really like to do that when he has to travel near the beach. However, when I am home alone for a few weeks at a time, I get a little nervous. I do not feel as safe when he is not there. Every time I hear a creak or bump at night I get worried that someone might be in the house. I even jump when I hear the ice maker start making ice. We decided to go to HOMEsecurity101.com to find info on having a home security system installed. He and I both would feel more comfortable knowing that the security system is activated when I am home alone. Although I would rather just have my husband at home, I am glad that I will feel safer when he is gone.

I was at work when I accidentally knocked over my picture of my parents. Well as I went to bend over to pick it up my pants ripped in the rear end in front of my boss! How embarrassing is that! Thank goodness that I was near a shopping mall so I could go over and pick out a new pair of pants for the rest of the day at work. My boss being the sweetheart that she is, let me take off work for an hour to go buy a pair. I was relieved when I found a pair within the first 5 minutes of being there so I didn’t have to walk around with a hole in my rear.

There’s a grocery store in Europe that makes our little ’self-checkout’ lines look obsolete already.  In Germany, there’s a grocery store that you take your cell phone, scan the items with it that you put in your shopping cart and then when you get to the check out, your cell phone will display a bar code for everything you scanned total, the check out person scans that and you pay and out you go.

So it looks like we’re not only looking at advances in grocery shopping but also in cell phones.  At the check out, once you scan the payment bar code, you can pay by cash, credit card, debit card or fingerprint (after you have signed up for fingerprint shopping).  And the politicians wonder why we are falling behind the rest of the world where technology is concerned.
