MY SON
This guest post from Werner Rogers
My son is driving me crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I love him to death, but he’s absolutely making me nuts! I wish there was some way to tell him that I’m really tired of how much time he spends online but it’s hard – I mean, we’ve got a good internet provider at home and you’d think there wouldn’t be an issue when it comes to him chatting with friends but it’s just been 10 minutes longer each night until last week when I found him online at 12am talking to a girl from school. I don’t want to start conflict that I don’t need to here at home but I really wish he’d get it together and act like an adult. He’s 17 years old so it’s really hard to impose rules and restrictions at this point but I feel like he’s really taking advantage of how much leeway I’ve been giving him. I guess when I say it out loud it does sound like I need to have a talk with him…
A fall transitional bag for the changing seasons
Guest post written by Melissa Sloane
I always get so excited around this time of the year because before you know it, it’s time for Halloween and then Christmas! But before all of that, I get to go shopping for fall clothes! I get so excited about all of the new trends and all of the Fashion Week coverage. Needless to say, I’ve been covering Fashion Week like crazy and even though I already know what’s going to be going on for the fall season, I can’t wait to try out some of the spring stuff too.
But first things first, I have to worry about finding a good transitional bag for fall. I’ve been looking on my wireless internet Boston to find the perfect bag and I’ve actually found the perfect one!
I did find a really great fall transitional bag, it’s a canvas color blocking one that’s teal on top and black on the bottom. Plus it has so much room for all my stuff in it! I’m really bad about carrying half my belongings around with me, so at least I’ll do it in style.
LG DoublePlay™
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG DoublePlay™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Christmas will be here before we know it. I’m not planning on sending Christmas cards in the mail this year. I want to save money on stamps and time going to the post office. I would rather send text messages and e-cards to my family and friends. I think it’s a lot easier that way.
By the way, I want to get a new cell phone this holiday. I heard about the LG DoublePlay™. This is exactly I want, an Android touch screen cell phone with full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and Swype® for easy text input and perform multi-tasks. Since I spend 3 hours or so on my facebook, this phone is great to have.
It is really practical to have a mobile phone like this because you can do many tasks at one time. You can check your Twitter, Facebook, email and even send text messages at the same time. One of the great features in this phone is the Cloud Text™ and Group Text™, where you can send and receive texts from a PC or tablet and make group chats.
The LG Doubleplay™ cell phone comes with a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and a video recorder with 720p high def. I can take and share photos with my family and friends through messages, Facebook or email. This sounds really fun.
LG Doubleplay™ is available exclusively at T-mobile. Oh, I am really excited to get this phone online at T-mobile soon.
How often do you use your phone for texting, checking email or social networking? Do you think LG Doubleplay is worth checking out?
I can’t live without a washing machine.
It really sucks when your washing machine doesn’t work anymore. I mean, washing machine is one of the important machines at home. It feels like my life incomplete without it. In other words, I can’t live without a washing machine! This may sound exaggerated. I must admit that I don’t like going to the laundromat. I prefer to wash my clothes here at home. I can still do some things while the washing machine is running. We have an old Kenmore washing machine. It’s probably like 30 years old. I think it’s one of the best washing machine ever. My husband bought that used washing machine at Craigslist before we got married. It looks pretty old but it’s one of the best and most durable washing machine out there. We really don’t like to get rid of it. So, my dear husband is doing his best to fix it. He finally found out the the solenoid or wigwag is broken. I went to the store this morning to get the part. I was glad that they have in stock. Now, I am excited about it. I hope that’s the only problem.
Helping your child succeed in school
I always consider education as one of the most important things in life. We hear the saying that goes, “Knowledge is power”. The meaning of education should not be underrated. We should value education.
Since schools and classrooms are growing these days, many students are not able to get proper support and help from their teachers. For this reason, many students are having a hard time learning the lessons or subjects. And parents are starting to get worried about their child’s performance in school. I remember when I was in high school, my performance wasn’t that great because my school was a big and there was a lot of students in one classroom. It was kind of hard for me to assimilate and absorb all the lessons at school. In this situation, tutoring comes in handy.
Tutoring can help your student or children learn more and work on their weaknesses. However, hiring a tutoring service can be an intimidating thing to do as there are many tutoring services you can find nowadays. One of the best tutoring services is the StudyPoint. StudyPoint offers tutoring services for all academic subjects, SAT and ACT test prep. They can help your child improve her grades and develop her skills. And help your child succeed on the SAT or ACT exam.
