Britney Spears, Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan

These poor, poor girls. I can't seem to go to the grocery store or watch the news without hearing about one or another. And unfortunately for them, most of it is not positive. From Britney's fued with her mom, to her highly publicized iffy parenting skills, to Paris' emotional breakdown in jail, to, well, jail, and Lindsay's second stint at drug rehabilitation what more need I say?

I truly do hope the best for these young women, and for Britney's boys. I think they were all forced to grow up too fast, under the microscope of the tabloids. If they want to change, they need to remove themselves from that. I truly thing they need to move away from LA and the whole Hollywood party scene and attempt to live a "normal" life far away from the limelight. I hope they mature enough to figure that out themselves, soon, rather than later.

Another online coupon site KeepCash.com

If you haven't noticed, I am a tightwad and I am really big on saving money when ever possible. For both my real world shopping and online shopping, I always look for coupons and ways to save before I buy. I try and buy things on sale, with a coupon and through a rewards site, whenever possible, to maximize my savings.

I just discovered another online coupon site called Keepcash.com and wanted to point it out to my readers. The site is updated daily with the latest coupons and product deals. It is a a consumer friendly easy to use site that is useful for finding the latest bargains on the web. They offer over a 1000 different merchants to shop through so you are bound to find several of your favorite stores. Be sure to check out the Keepcash site first before shopping at your favorite retailer.

They currently have several computer deals for Dell if you are in the market for a new computer. Or if you are like me and spending more time outside working in your yard or garden, they have several gardening coupons listed for Gardeners Supply Company. My mothers birthday is coming up next month, and I may just get her some flowers using coupons for Flower.com that are currently listed.

Two additional features they offer which are very handy indeed, are a weekly newsletter and an RSS feed. You can get free online coupons delivered directly to your inbox, or subscribe to their feed, and check for new coupons or deals listed when you are checking in on all your feeds. Both of these features are extremely convenient and I think they will help you to remember to check for coupons if you choose to use either of these options. Having a regular newsletter in your inbox with the latest coupons, would definently help you to remember they are out there before you go shopping.

Your small business is growing, so start hiring!

You know you small business is doing well and growing when it is time to take on employees other than yourself. As you expand, you will need to look at payroll software options as well as other benefit programs. This can be quite a daunting task for many. If I had a business that had grown to this level, I would be hiring an HR person el pronto to deal with these tasks. Although they are a necessity for a growing buisness, these don't sound like tasks I would want to be bogged down with. I would rather have someone familiar with these types of HR issues running that, than trying to figure it all out myself. Time = money, and this is definently somewhere I'd rather hire out the work.

Online relationships with FriendFinder

Are you single and looking to find that perfect someone? Have you considered looking online? If so, you should check out FriendFinder. It's a very user friendly site for singles that has connected a lot of people. It is a tool to make connections via the internet easy, connections for friendship, romance, dating and more. I personally have never had an online relationship that was romantic in that sense, but I know several people who have with great success. One of our friends met his new wife online, and they have been married for almost 2 yrs now!

I especially like how this site has three different places to find people that you might connect with. It has blogs, groups and chat. You can join for free with a standard membership, or upgrade to a premium membership for less than 25 cents a day. Premium membership offers many more privileges. The site has members from all over the globe, and provides easy to use tools to narrow your search down to just what you are looking for. You can do a search to find people near you, personality type you are looking for, you can narrow the search to members with photos, see who is popular and much more.

Another advantage of using an online service such as FriendFinder, is the safety of meeting people from your own home. You can slowly get to know someone before you decide to meet them for the first time. You can also chat with other more experienced users in the chat rooms and get their advice on meeting someone for the first time. Having the ability to get to know someone slowly over time via the internet seems to be a much more viable option than hoping to meet Mr. or Miss. Right in a bar out of the blue.

TGIF!

Well, it's not quite Friday yet, but it's only about an hour and a half away and I am looking forward to it! First week of summer vacation with the kids home, and it's been low key so far. Kids are on a playdate tomorrow so I get to grocery shop on my own, (WHOO HOO!) and we have a BBQ planned with friends tomorrow night. Hope you all have a great weekend and be sure to check out my new site at A Problogger Mom.

Just a reminder!

This is just a quick note to remind those who may be reading to check out my new self hosted blog at A Problogger Mom.

I signed up for Payperpost quite awhile ago with this blog, and have not been actively using them, however, I must have 10 posts on a current blog listed with them before I can add a new blog, so pardon the sponsored posts for a bit. The next few days there may be quite a few posted here. And per their requirements, I have to seperate their sponsored posts with different posts. So I may be posting a few reminders about the new blog also! Don't forget to check it out and change your bookmarks, the new site is A Problogger Mom. Thanks so much!
