This is a freebie site that has everything!!!!! The cool thing about this site is that they show you pictures of the deal (kinda like yelp i guess), and you can search by location (you can save your time and find what you're looking for around your area), by categories or by keywords yummy

Chilli turned out good.

I turned down the heat and I'm cuddled up in a blanket watching tv. Then it's off to get some well deserved sleep.

Yeah, blah! For being there so late. But, yeah, I was just thinking again about what I'll need to do in the next month. Start really blasting companies. There are three in the area that I have best chance with. Based one their needs, and who can give me recommendations. It's nice, with one place, the recommendation counts as two interviews.

Even though it's not needed for anything, I'm going to try for a server security class. But, it's so well advertised by the teacher and he's so well liked. It may be difficult to get in. Plus, it's during the summer. So, that may be difficult to go to. Then, I'll get a month break. Then, there will be two more classes in the fall to take. Those will be 4 hour classes late at night. Blah. But, that gets me another cert. Then, I can go take another official cert exam.

I do light the lights. At least the high beams. I thought the low beams were doing something weird. Since there was light in the trees from the car. It turns out only one of the lights was causing it. It may be seated wrong, so, I'll have to look at that tomorrow. Then, I should know fully how the low beams are. They do appear to have a better field of vision in the spread. Since, they're not like the yellow light bulbs. They're a little more white, but, not HID white. They are still the basic yellow light. But, the bulbs have bands of blue on them that help the transition into the white wavelengths.

The high beams were freaken awesome once I got into an area with no one around. They do appear to still do the main tunnel of light down the middle of the road. But, the peripheral area was lit extremely well, or at least, it was more visible. Those were the 9005. Now, what might be helping is the low beams stay on, so, their helping with the wider area.

What could help me is new headlight housings. They are eight years old. They are a little foggy, but not really yellow. There is also for the low beams, a convex lens. So, that could be not perfect either. But, they still get the job done.

They sell creams/lotions in a bottle for restoring headlight housing plastics back to clear. That may help and I would try that first before buying new ones. I bought a bottle, but the weather must be a lot warmer than it is now to do it.

Thanks. I know you can do sandings and what not too.

Thanks, aeh!

I didn't see anything about USA, except from the selection list. If it's only open to one place, why have a multiple countries in the list? Programming fail.

Switch countries from Canada to United States there's 3 ongoing Monster contests although none like that particular one.

Hi all. wave hope everyone is well. DH and I both came down with a cold today. He started feeling feeling bad last night and had a full blown cold this morning. I went to go help a friend paint her bathroom and halfway home, I started to feel bad. I think he has it worse than me, which kills me! I can't stand the thought of my loved ones feeling under the weather.

MC, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend! You're right in that the family you choose usually means as much or more than your blood relations. I know that everyone took much strength from all of the wonderful things that you did. I'm sure they are very grateful for your friendship. hug

mich, sorry for your "family" loss
The cold...hubby and I have had it off and on for 2 months, just won't go away. Everyone around us has it too. It's just clinging on for way too long. Hubby is worse than me, at least by his complaining it must be worse. He got a flu shot, I didn't.
Best thing to work so far Musinex DM, and not the generic.

My hubby is sicker than me, too and Musinex is what we're taking. DH can't take decongestants, because he takes medicine for high blood pressure. So we have the Musinex, cough drops, Zicam, and Puff's Plus. Big Grin

Thanks for the advice, I sure hope it's not 2 months of a cold. EEK!

For all the colds. Have things like the Sambucol help? I haven't seen any deals of late. I don't know if it helps, but, I'm trying the HeartBlu from Walgreens from last week, when it was free after rebate. Or the standard, take extra C.

Luckily I've been clear for a bit. I had gotten colds twice in less than a month. Yuck.

I never did try Zicam. So, I can't say if that helps any.

The Zicam really helps. It not only shortens your cold, your symptoms are less severe. I haven't heard of HeartBlu, what does it do? We haven't tried Sambucol either.

I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended a decongestant that DH can take. I hope that it makes him feel better. Thanks for your help!

Health Blu
I was thinking antioxidant. But, it's saying it's for cholesterol. But, still free after rebate. If you buy in store, you can do the rebate on line. If you buy on-line, you must mail in the rebate.

Sambucol is an antioxidant. It's supposed to raise help your immune system.
