Save On Eyewear

My lovely wife suffers from something called Keratoconus which is a degenerative disorder of the eye in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to thin and change to a more conical shape than its normal gradual curve. Basically what this means is that she sees things from light that "normal" people do not. She has explained it to me many times over the years (as if I'd forget lol) and it doesn't seem pleasant at all. So, when the days are bright and sunny she needs to go outside wearing sunglasses. She is like most people there, she misplaces them or loses them everywhere she goes. This is especially true if they were inexpensive glasses she found at say the dollar store. That's okay by me because they were cheap. She does have some heavy duty sunglasses that she loves but they were not cheap so she keeps good track of them. Unfortunately they are starting to show signs of too much wear and terar, they are scratches all over the lenses and that's not good no matter what your vision may be. So I am surfing around the net looking for some decent sunglasses and I come across http://www.eyesave.com. A very nice website that has a lot of sunglasses and many designer brands at very affordable prices for such things. Glasses that my lovely wife is bound to keep track of and take care of for a long, long time. They also have reading glasses of various magnitudes so I may grab myself a pair or two of those while I am there. My glasses are broken and some days I really strain the eyeballs to read things especially if the print is small. Reading glasses help there I'm sure. If you need sun or reading glasses then you should go and check out the deals on this website.

Paying Online

I just got my first social security money put onto my debit card and decided I should pay my utility bills online. Generally a simple process, at least for the phone bill which I have pain online a time or two in the past. I was not prepared for the nightmare... Both the Edison company and the Southern California Gas Company websites are a disaster. They are very hard to navigate for a first time user and more so for someone that simply wishes to pay their bill once with a credit card. You must register an account, set up passwords, etc. and then you still have to wander around the website trying to find the magical page that will allow you to pay the damned bill. After you find the magical doorway it gets even dumber. You cannot just pay those companies, they use an outside contractor for such things. meaning I then had to go off their site to another website and pay the bill I wanted to pay along with a "transaction fee". How kind. Not! I realize that all I paid out extra was a measley three dollars or so but three dollars to someone on a small fixed income can be a lot of money. The utility companies need to stop being anal retentive and come join the rest of the world in the online present. If Verizon can do it so can SCE and SoCal Gas!

Web To Print

In the past, if you wanted something printed, you gathered up all your materials and drove to the local printing shop and arranged the best deal for your printing needs. I am certain that this particular method still works and that for many printing shop businesses it is the way they remain in business. But, there is more options available to printing shops these days thanks to the internet. If you are looking to increase your printing business then you should investigate www.eoncode.com a company that specializes in software specifically for printing shops. They have lots of ideas that surely can make you extra money and they are very helpful to their customers so you can achieve that goal of extra earnings. As they say on the website: The goal behind this trend setting order processing platform was to create a tool which would make online ordering easy for your clients, and streamline all print jobs into a single paperless management system. The Storefront features make it a complete order submission and management tool. Whether orders are placed online by a client across the country, or by one of your regulars walking through the door, the Storefront helps you efficiently process orders, order payment and order artwork. By funneling all orders into the EonWorkflow system via the Storefront, you will be able to use the Order Workflow Dashboard for complete printing workflow management and order progression. Easy for your clients is the true key here. I just paid some utility bills online and their system was frustrating to say the least. If I were buying something online instead of paying my bills I would have left their sites and they would have lost a customer. Not good business there at all and you certainly do not want potential sales leaving you because your site is hard to manage. Give the folks at eoncode a look, you'll be happy that you did.

It Figures

Had a few days where the temps were in the ninetys and this kitchen felt hotter than Hades. So hot that my computer overheated and shut itself off. Ugh! So, being smart, I went online shopping for a portable swamp cooler and got this:

It arrived yesterday and is pretty nifty looking. It even comes with a remote control :) However, now that I have it, Mother Nature has decided the weather should be cool and cloudy with high winds. The only blessing here is that I know that summer heat is coming and I shall be more prepared than usual when it finally arrives :)

Peek-A-Boo

I have been sitting at this computer all morning playing peek-a-boo. With a mouse of all things! Grrrrr... I hate mice! This mouse seems intent on irritating the daylights out of me and he is doing a great job of that. He constantly startles me, in fact he just did it again. I need a cat in my house!

Replace It

Cell phones are everywhere these days, having become a staple of society. Seems like everyone has one, from kids to seniors. Even people that do not really need one seem to have a cell phone. A friend just bought one a few days ago although she doesn't leave the house that often so she doesn't need a cell phone she has a landline. Guess she just wanted a new toy. The problem with cell phones is that they are easily lost, stolen, or, if you are clumsy, broken. They often need to be replaced, costing you lots and lots of money that could be spent elsewhere but, you know, one can no longer live without that cell phone! What to do if yours is lost, stolen or broken? If you need to replace your cell phone then you really should check out replaceyourcell.com. They have lots and lots of cell phones, new and refurbished and ready to get you back into cell phone euphoria. They have unlocked cell phones which I am not entirely certain what those are but they sound good. If memory serves me right that means they can be used with a variety of carriers that normally wouldn't allow that particular cell phone. Looking to upgrade your cell? They have so many cell phones you are bound to find a new toy for yourself there. No sense being stuck with an old model when there are so many choices for you. Whether you are a new cell phone user or a seasoned veteran of cell phones you owe it to yourse3lf to go and see all the cells that they have and grab the best deal for you, or even the whole family.
