I just found out that someone tried to get credit with my name. It was purely by chance that I found this out too. See I was checking into getting a free credit report from 3freecreditreportsnow.com when I noticed something on it that I had no idea what it was or where it came from. If I hadn’t checked into the free report, someone might have been able to try again and get credit on my name. In other words, steal my identity.

People need to check their credit report at all three credit reporting companies. If you don’t, it’s easy for something to sneak by on you. Once that happens, it might be too late. They could already be spending money on your credit which means the credit card companies will come after you to pay the bills.

With Identity Guard premium you not only get peace of mind, you get all three major credit reporting agencies monitored daily but you get your credit score from all three and a free report from all three. They will even send you a text message on your cell phone if they find something suspicious. Like I said, peace of mind.

Time to do something about the master bathroom. It’s pretty sad looking. I have some ceramic tile I’m going to put down and I know that alone will help but what I need most of all is a new Bathroom Vanity. A nice Bathroom Vanity really adds that special touch. If my master bathroom wasn’t so small, I would put in a double vanity but there’s just not that much room.

I started looking for Discount Bathroom Vanities and was like a kid in a candy store. Man did I find some great buys and some of the most beautiful Vanities I have ever seen. We had a lot of antiques in my parents home and I love them. I found a great 60 inch granite counter top vanity that will not only fit in my bathroom, but it fits my style great. The shipping and handling was free to that made me even happier. I can’t wait to have it installed. What do you think about my choice?  Oh I found it at buyvanitiesonline.com.

I need some new vitamins and prefer natural ones.  In fact, I prefer natural everything if I can get it as far as vitamins and supplements go.  What’s the point of taking vitamins and supplements if they’re full of chemicals when you’re trying to be healthier anyway.  There are entirely too many chemicals in everything we consume already so it makes no sense to me to just add more to be healthier?

One product I take that I get from greenpathsupplements.com is Chlorella.  It’s the one supplement I make sure to take because of all the benefits it has.  It helps to remove toxins from your body and also provides you with vitamins and minerals.  Chlorella removes heavy metals from your body which leaves you clean and free of contaminates.  Metals can be picked up from things like fish and even tuna.  They slowly poison your body.

It is full of powerful antioxidants, including chlorophyll and beta carotene. We all know the benefits of antioxidants.  They are great for fighting cancer risks.  You also get 19 amino acids and 20 vitamins and minerals so you’re getting all the vitamins and minerals you need too.  Here’s one thing most people don’t think about but when you have a mother that’s allergic to wheat you do.  They are sodium, lactose, and gluten-free so even my mother takes them.

I was surprised to learn that my parents were thinking about moving into a retirement community.  I thought they would never leave our family home but it is a huge house and they don’t need all that room anymore now that all of us kids are grown and out on our own.  We all have homes of our own too.  I guess they figured it was time for them so they’re putting the house on the market and looking into moving.

The  retirement community they are looking into is on the coast of North Carolina.  Carolina Colours (carolinacolours.com) is located in New Bern North Carolina.  It’s a beautiful retirement community and New Bern is a great city.  The weather along the North Carolina Coast is pretty good year around too. They have golf, fitness, tennis and all sorts of things for the retiree to do so they aren’t sitting in their homes acting like ‘old people.’  I love that about the community and they have a real sense of community there too.  The homes are just what you would want or need.  You get to pick out your own home and the site if there isn’t already one you like that’s been built in a location you like.  Sounds like a great place for my parents.

A fathers job first and foremost is to protect his children from anything and everything.  Well this father didn’t and now he faces second degree murder and felony injury to a child.  Not only that but he now has to live the rest of his life knowing a decision he made about the children, cost his 11 year old daughter her life.

Sage Aragon and her 12-year-old brother, Bear, were with their father on Thursday when his truck got stuck in a snow drift near state Highway 75, north of Shoshone in south central Idaho, according to the Lincoln County sheriff’s office.  The children live with Aragon in Jerome and he was taking them to visit their mother, JoLeta Jenks, in West Magic.

After the truck got caught in the snow, authorities allege Aragon let the children out to walk to their mother’s house while he and another adult stayed behind to free the vehicle.  Jenks said she called Aragon because she was concerned after no one arrived at her home on Thursday. Aragon had driven back to Jerome after letting the kids out to walk to her house, Jenks said.

Jenks called the police and a Blaine County search and rescue team found the boy at a rest area near the highway shortly before 10 p.m. on Thursday night.  Adults in the search effort described the snow as knee-deep for them.

The boy was found wearing only long underwear, Blaine County Sheriff Walt Femling said in a news release. Apparently delusional from hypothermia, the child had discarded his jacket, pants and shoes, the sheriff’s office said. He was treated and released at a nearby hospital.  The rest area was about 4.5 miles from where the children started walking.

At some point the children separated and their mother said her son told her they disagreed about whether to keep going or turn back.  “(Bear) kept on telling her: ‘Let’s go, Sage, let’s go, Sage,’” Jenks said, recalling what her son told her. “She said, ‘No, I’m going back.’”

The little girl was found about 2.7 miles from where the two set out, barely visible under windblown, drifting snow when search dogs located her along a local road about 2 a.m. Friday. She was wearing a brown down coat, black shirt, pink pajama pants and tan snow boots, the sheriff’s office statement said.

“I thought she was alive because they said they found her,” Jenks said. “I was excited.”  The girl was pronounced dead at a Ketchum hospital; preliminary autopsy results indicate she died of hypothermia.

I could not believe that a father would do such a thing.  My heart sank as I read this.  What those children went through was unimaginable.  I’m sorry but as part of his punishment, his cell should be very cold and there should be pictures of the children plastered all over the walls of his cell of the children when they were found.  That would be just punishment but that’s my opinion!!!!
