Genz-Benz Amps at Guitar Center

My younger brother came to visit me from West Virginia and was so eager to see him after so long. I hadn’t seen him for about 2 years and so many things had changed since. The one thing that hasn’t and hopefully will never change is my yougest brothers love for music. He has been an aspiring musician ever since he learned how to play guitar in the forth grade.

When he visited I had talked to him about his music and said that everything was going great and he had a show to perform at a few weeks after his visit with me, he was super psyched about it. When I asked to see him play, he got out his guitar and his amp and started playing and he stopped in the middle because his amp wasn’t putting out what it was supposed to sound like.
Poor guy was so bummed until I had the idea of searching around on the net for a new amp. He leaped up and we scurried to the computer and looked around, and we came across genz-benz amps at Guitar Center online. My younger brother saw the one he had been wanting for a long time and needless to say I ordered it right away for an awesome price. It arrived shortly after and I’m so thrilled that my younger brother now has his new amp he wanted, and is now creating beautiful music to share with the world. I expect front row seats from here on out!

Researching A New Puppy

My boyfriend and I have been thinking about getting a puppy and making it part of the family. I had talked to my brother in-law about it and he told me to make sure it a safe breeder puppy, which I wasn’t completely clear on how to do what he was talking about, but when I asked him, he told me to go onto the Internet and to Google the words puppy mills and read up on the subject.

So I did and I found that you can learn so much about what you can look for, and what kind of things you should find out before you go to the store and see a cute puppy, purchase it and walk out. You can save hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars just by taking the time to do a bit of research, and of course with the Internet it can’t get much easier than that.

Top Ten Web Hosting Providers

The week end turned out pleasant enough, Saturday the winds were totally outrageous, so I did a bunch of errands and things around the house that kept me from being blown away outside. All the blooms on my pear trees were blown completely off and are now standing naked in my backyard, how awkward! Sunday was spent doing some much needed yard work and tending to my future garden in progress. It got up to 70 degrees and this morning I see some sunburn on my nose, cheeks and forehead, guess I’ll need to buy a hat for my gardening ventures, in order to protect my face this summer.

Saturday afternoon a friend from work came by, we had dinner, a few drinks, some laughs and then went on my computer for a time being. He is a whiz online and always shows me the most interesting and enlightening things when he comes over and we spend some time online.

We ended up talking about and checking out different webhosting options. We referenced the site of Webhostinggeeks.com, a site that offers independent web hosting reviews and ratings of the ten top web hosts available. I wasn’t surprised to see Go Daddy on their list as the largest web hosting, while Yahoo came in as the most reliable of them all.

All ten rated hosts offer cheap professional web hosting, with their services available for $10 and under per month. They all offer one free domain, along with a 30 day money back guarantee. A valuable resource before making the important decision of committing to a web hosting company for your web hosting needs. It’s all good!

Checking Out Thrifty Rental Car Online

A cousin of mine Wendy, wanted to go on a early summers trip and invited me to tag along and enjoy a relaxing but fun time together. Not only have I  been looking forward to spending some quality time with her but I have been in need of a vacation for a few years now, so needless to say I immediately replied back telling her that we really need to search around for a location, a hotel we can stay at, and a nice rental car, all of which must be affordable.

We have asked around friends and family for ideas and options and didn’t come by anything that was affordable or anything we would want to do. My cousin, had a brilliant idea to sit down one evening after work and search around on the net for anything that stuck out to us and yelled “Fun!” We clicked on a link that took us to a site that looked like it offered amazing hotel and thrifty rental car deals. We were quit surprised at how much we would be saving compared to the handful of sites we already checked out and weren’t so impressed like we are with these deals.

Wendy and I were so very close as kids, so it will be cool to reconnect with her, catch up with what is going on on that side of family and let her in on what’s been going with my clan. Of course I will be taking my laptop and will be posting (when I have the time) and sharing photos here as we go along!

The Boy Next Door

Eric is a 17 year old high school drop out that lives next door. I worry about the boy sometimes, but yesterday he announced that he and a few other of his friends had put together a CD of their music and promises me a copy as soon as they get them all in order and ready for distribution. I think it is a great idea and wish them all the luck in the world with their endeavour. I’ve heard them play through out the years, since they are right next door and know the quality of their work. They are planning on hitting several of the local clubs and even a few across the state line in an effort to get their music played out there. Maybe one evening I will be able to go with them, it sounds like fun!

He is currently looking for decent CD sleeves, so I referred him to psprint.com where they offer CD/DVD/VCD sleeves at discount prices. They use top of the line quality stock and offer free samples, which I think is cool. I’m familiar with their work due to the using of them at my work a time or two for their poster printing services, so I feel comfortable referring them to him and his musician friends.
