It could have been "it" for me...
I was involved in an accident on Thursday. I was a little shaky after-the-fact but I gained control of the situation. A lot of things rushed through my mind yesterday afternoon. Going to the police station, phoning my insurance company and getting a quote on the damaged done to my car. You can read more of it, HERE.

When it came time for me to go to bed, I was able to reflect on what just had happened. I could have died that day, or my dad for that matter as he was with me when the accident happened. It wasn't a massive accident, thank God! but it could have been! It just made me realized how fragile really life is. I witnessed this kind of accidents all the time. It could be on TV or in real life, but somehow, I always thought, or perhaps I am just in denial, that it will never happen to me.

I have always been careful when I drive. When I have someone I love with me on the passenger seat, I am doubly careful. But no matter how careful you are, accidents could still happen.

Sometimes, I am glad that I have blogs here on the net. At least, I can have something to leave behind.........

Have You Had Your Car Radiator Checked Recently?
My hubby told me that his little car, a Corolla, will need a new radiator before the summer heat next year sets in. Slightly less of a problem right now, in winter, but his Toyota Radiator is 13 years old now, and he says that "the fins on it have separated from the tubes that carry the coolant water" and he says that vehicle radiators should be checked yearly and changed out occasionally during the life of a car to maintain cooling performance and reliability.
I think that he ought to get it fixed now. A vehicle should always be reliable and I know that's no fun when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere. You can check online for radiators. Radiators.com is the largest radiator distributor in the country. They are well established, having been in business for over 20 years. It doesn't take much to have your vehicle radiator checked, and the time taken is spent better than being stranded with a boiling engine, whatever the season.

Christmas Dinner
We had such a great time on Christmas Day. My family was here to celebrate it with us. They were here on the 24th and we had some drinks that night (here's some photos), stayed up a little late and went to bed.

Everybody was excited to open their gifts under the Christmas tree the following morning. I tried to make it as memorable as possible, after all, it's their first Christmas here in Canada! Check out my other blog for more photos:)

Well, after the opening of gifts comes the dinner, and of course, I baked a turkey. Made some spring rolls, meatballs, biko, cassava cake and boiled some veggies. And again, this is their first time to try turkey^-^

Surety Bonds, and Being 'Bonded'
Have you ever seen the term 'must be bondable' when looking a job opportunities? It appears on jobs like Security Guard, Contractor, or Bank Teller. Most people don't know what it really is, and I found it interesting that it actually means literally, that the individual is kind of insured to perform. The actual document involved is called a surety bond and is quite often containing basically the small print that has already been guaranteed when the individual obtained a municipal or state license. So, if you are employing a contractor, you should be able to ask the contractor if you can see the terms of the bond. And if the reply is that they don't actually know what the bond is, you can give them the address of this website http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/blog/ so they can get all the information they need to actually get bonded.

It Gets Dark Early Here!
I just arrived here within the last hours or so, and it is now already getting dark. This time of the year seems like summer just ended, I can remember it, yet it is around now that we get the shortest day of the year. Then here we have the real winter happening in January and February. So, the ice we have right now is just a small parts of winter. But once the New Year arrives, at least I can think that it will soon be summer again.

Good Savings on Vacation Bookings
I am planning to take a visit to England with hubby next year. I found this website that not only deals in Hotel Reservations but also car rentals, cruises (just in case we have money left over after going to England!) as well as flights and packages. I have compared the rates, at least for the flights and car rentals, and they seem very competitive. We haven't decided which areas we will go to yet, and I can't forecast the future, but my guess is that we will be including this website in our final searching before booking. So, www.HotelReservations.com might be worth a look for you too.

Hubby got His New Tires.
Yes, hubby went out today, and got his 2 new tires. So, for once, he has new tires, I make do with old. At least, he gets 2 new ones, and has to make do the same as I do, with old rear tires. Hopefully, that will get him some good driving, his old car had a shake when I last drove it, and he said one tire was damaged, and they both were worn a bit. So, good to know that his car will be good and reliable enough now for me to drive! It uses less gas than mine, so I will use it when mine is nearly run out, so that he has to fill it if he wants to use it!

Now Here is a Fun Thing to Get Into!
I had never heard of paintball guns and shooting before I came to Canada. I saw the pastime on TV, and I have always had the intention in the back of my mind to get into it. We have a few paintball areas around here, and, being Canada, they are in the woods, rather than being urban, like in a city. Lots of places to hide, ditches, hollows, small hills, and of course, trees!
Ultimate Paintball - www.pntball.com - are currently offering the best prices around, and with free shipping, too! And you can buy online through their secure site.
They sell Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye, Empire, Draxxus paintball gear plus many more brands which you can find on their website. Right now, for instance, they have a special offer on the spyder vs3 paintball gun, so with all the discount, it can be bought for just $225 after rebate. And it fires up to 25 shots per second!
And if you look online, you can see that most of the products that they sell are from about 30% to 50% discounted, so you can save on ammo, Co2 tanks, and other equipment as well.
This might well be a way of resolving the 'what to buy hubby' problem!

The Snow Turns To Ice!
So, after all the snow we got at the weekend, (it had changed to rain on Sunday night), and now the wet slush remaining has frozen solid, leaving a nice thick layer of ice! The roads are salted, and now are dry, and the driveways are ice. Lucky I have the Jeep, I can use the four wheel drive to get out of the driveway, then I can put it into two wheel drive while driving on the roads. Works out great, actually. When I had a regular car, hubby used to have to get out the sand, and spread it all over the place, which of course would be a signal for the snow to fall again and cover it!

You can get the lending Institutions Bidding for Your Business!
Auctions are a great way to have competition in bidding, and now there is an online website nameyourloan.com that has extended the auction idea. How NameYourLoan.com works is to allow your potential lenders whether they be certified banks, or other lending institutions, to compete for your business. This means that you are less likely to get jacked up offers that you might regret later, but will be more likely to get a fair market interest rate. There are no fees or costs, and you can fill in an online application that requires no Social Security number to be revealed. It is all done online, and with no annoying phone haggling.

Press Release:

NameYourLoan.com Diversifies Current Lending Environment for Borrowers with New Approach to Online Mortgage Loans.

New online mortgage auction site, NameYourLoan.com, has revolutionized the way borrowers obtain mortgage loans online. As a unique and creative online community, borrowers can easily connect with the best mortgage lenders while lenders benefit from a wealth of real time mortgage leads and opportunities for business growth.
(PRWEB) – In today’s tough lending environment, littered with deceitful lenders and cunning tactics, it’s high time for a revolutionary tool that can empower borrowers yet still benefit lenders. NameYourLoan.com has answered the need with the launch of a new online mortgage auction site designed to give consumers access to an increasing mortgage lenders network to ultimately obtain great online mortgage loans.
“For centuries, auctions have been the most efficient and effective way to get the best deals in everything,” says Al Salahi, President and CEO of NameYourLoan.com. “Why not have auctions for all mortgage loan types?”
NameYourLoan.com is an online community where borrowers can easily connect with the best mortgage lenders. Lenders compete with one another in an online auction to win the borrower’s business. As numerous lenders submit loan offers, the site enables consumers to see “apples to apples”, compare mortgage interest rates and achieve the lowest rate mortgage online such as the best home equity loan rate or home refinance loan.
The site’s sophisticated computer system compiles and calculates all the information submitted by lenders (interest rates, points, fees, terms, etc.) and then ranks loan offers, based on their true worth relative to the borrower’s stated preferences (lowest rate, lowest fees or best combination of rates and fees). This simplified process gives borrowers a coherent presentation of information without having to do the math themselves.
Unlike other online mortgage comparison shopping services, only those lenders who come out at the top of the auction with the lowest interest rates and fees get a chance at the borrower’s business. Moreover, borrowers can invite their friend or relative lender to participate in the borrower’s auction quickly and without cost. Lenders who refuse to participate are most likely high priced and not the best mortgage lenders.
“Through advanced technology, we are starting to make haggling and deceptive lending tactics a thing of the past,” explains Salahi. “At the same time, we are transforming a generally stressful and complicated process into a very pleasant and easy experience for borrowers. Our multiple bid auction format, coupled with constant consumer feedback, will make it easy for us to weed out dishonest lenders—and hopefully put them out of business!”
Use of NameYourLoan.com is completely free for borrowers. Borrowers are under no obligation to accept any of the online mortgage loans offered in the auction. To protect against identity theft and fraud, site users are never asked for sensitive information, and lenders that receive multiple consumer complaints will be barred from future auctions.
For more information, visit NameYourLoan.com.
About NameYourLoan.com:
NameYourLoan.com is the world’s first online mortgage auction, designed to advance the lending process by helping honest and competitive lenders grow their business, and at the same time, make it possible for borrowers to instantaneously reach multiple lenders and receive competitive loan offers online, in an auction format. NameYourLoan.com uses a patent-pending concept powered by sophisticated proprietary software that has been developed by a number of technology heavyweights from the Fortune 500 arena.

Online Backgammon
Do you know what backgammon is? Arvin had mention it to me one time to play this game with him but i couldn't get it. It's actually one of the oldest game there is.

Backgammon is actually a game for two players, played on a board consisting of 24 narrow triangles called points. The triangles alternate in color and are grouped into two, which have twelve triangles each. The halves are formed by the two opposing sides of the board. The board has a vertical band down the middle called the bar, where the checkers are placed when hit. It's really a cool game once you get going. And guess what? you can play backgammon online! really cool! Try it out, and if you have been playing it for awhile, maybe you can join backgammon tournaments? so let's the fun begins!!!
