Did you know that you can go green by the way you shop?  Well, lets say you are shopping for electronics, maybe a new flat screen TV. You don’t want to run all over town looking and checking for the best prices so by shopping online, you’re saving money and helping to save the planet too.  I think that’s a pretty cool way to shop if you ask me.  Besides, I love shopping online.

One of the things I enjoy the most in the summer is taking my motor home where ever I please.   I have a little scooter on the back of it so I can putt around town but I think I need new motorhome insurance because mine is about to need to be renewed.  I want to really check them out to see if I can get good coverage at a better price.

I’m sure you have had a man ask you if you were born talking or I have anyway.  In fact my parents said I was!!  Well this little girl shows that I wasn’t the only one.  I had to share it with you.  She’s so adorable and check out Daddy’s reaction to her!

A few weeks ago my brother opened an auto body repair shop.  Well now he’s looking into putting in some state of the art spray booths.  He’s one of the best painters around and you can’t do good work without a good paint booth. He found what he needed at spraysystems.com.   He’s done paint and body work for many years and knows a good paint booth when he sees one.

If you want the best, you have to go to the best.  These guys offer cross flow booths or down draft booths.  You can even get a modified down draft booth.  They will build what you need where you need it and to your size specifications depending on if you’re going to be painting big trucks or just automobiles.  There are mixing rooms, drying rooms and exhaust chambers.  So if you’re looking to invest in a spray booth, check here.

I have a 1997 Volvo S80.  I love that car.  Well it started acting really stupid not long after I donated my other car.  Acting stupid is a technical term for it wasn’t running right. Anyway, I have a guy that works on my car when something does go wrong that knows what he’s doing  thank goodness.   He said the part was going to cost way more than I thought it should so I got on my computer and found 247spares.co.uk.  I don’t mind using used parts at all and saving a bunch of money either.  No one ever said car parts had to be new to fix the problem now did they?

I found 24/7 Parts online and even though it’s in the UK, I can still get the parts cheaper through them.  So I ordered the part and it got here on the day they said it would.  Can’t beat that can you?  Besides, I like using used parts because it keeps them from ending up in a landfill somewhere.  Plus, 24/7 Parts was ranked number 6 in the hitwise category for -”Automotive Shopping Online” so they must be a good parts distributor to deal with.  I sure was pleased with them and in fact, my mechanic said he’ll start checking with them before he buys anymore parts.
