What to Do With A Derelict Car

This is an awesome concept. I had no idea there are actually companies that will come haul away your old, broken down, car for free, and actually pay you cash money for it when they come get it. I have to believe that if everyone knew this was possible, there would not be any old junk cars sitting around with weeds growing around them.

Amplify’d from junkcarsformoney.net

It’s one of those realities of life; sometimes cars breakdown and just simply aren’t worth what it would cost to repair them. What happens then? Well, usually, the car gets parked somewhere out of the way, maybe to the side of the house, the back yard, or possibly even out on the street, so you can keep using your driveway and carport, if you have one. Often, the plan is to fix it up good enough to sell when you have the money. Unfortunately, it’s not unusual (Actually, it’s quite common.) to look up one day and realize you have been mowing and weed-eating around the thing for years. This is when reality slaps you in the face and you come to understand that you aren’t going to ever fix that old junk car. It’s just an eyesore that’s in the way. But what in the world do you do with it?

Getting cash money for your old junk car is actually a pretty easy process. All you need to do is make sure the junk car is ready to be hauled away (Get everything you want out of the car.), then call a car junking company. They will usually set up an appointment to come get the car within 24-48 hours. It’s really that simple. Read more at junkcarsformoney.net

Amazon Affiliates in California – Write To Your Legislator

Well, good people out there in the interweb world, just minding your own business, I've got some breaking news for you. It seems that the California legislature, in all its infinite wisdom and financial acumen has decided to put all of the Amazon associates in the state, out of business. They are wanting to do this by enacting the Nexus bill to force online retailers to collect sales tax for their state because they have affiliates there.



This has already happened in a few other states and the effect was that Amazon and other affiliate networks simply dropped all of the affiliates in that state. So basically, if they pass this law, they will not only NOT get the sales tax they claim to be losing, they will also get less income tax from the former affiliates that no longer are able to sell those products online.



This is a nice, concise article I found on the topic that also has some info for you poor Cali locals. Do your part to stop this lunacy!

Amplify’d from searchenginewhisperer.com

After failing to pass similar bills over the past few years, the California legislators are once again trying to pass a bill to require Amazon to collect sales tax from California shoppers because they have affiliates (like me) in the state, and they consider that a physical presence.

In other states that have passed this bill, Amazon has ended their affiliate relationships in that state, so not only did the states who passed a similar bill NOT get Amazon to collect sales tax, they also lost out on the income tax that the affiliates in that state were paying. These states lost money!

Go here to sign the petition which goes straight to your legislators and let them know that such a bill will cause California to lose even more money: http://www.performancemarketingassociation.com/advocacy/active-grassroots-campaigns/california/

Don’t let this happen to California! I love California! But I will move if such a law passes because I love my Amazon income more.

EDIT: Here is the full bill:

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0151-0200/ab_153_bill_20110118_introduced.pdf

EDIT: Go here to find your legislator, and write to them personally.

Are Deodorants and Antiperspirants Healthy?

Amplify’d from feelinfantastic.com

Studies in the last decade have suggested there may be a connection between the use of deodorants and breast cancer.

Breathless e-mails have been forwarded over and over again warning people of the dangers of using these products. For the most part, the claims have proved to be baseless even if the findings do cast doubt on the overall safety of some products.

One of the main problems with the suggestions made by the studies is that once something has been found to be true, the conclusions made from that aren’t always complete.

For instance, out of 20 breast tumors examined, 18 were found to contain something called parabens. Read more at feelinfantastic.com

Patio Shade Options

Amplify’d from lendmeahand.com

The summer months can be blistering hot and painfully uncomfortable to be outside in.  With the sun constantly beating down on you, it can be hard to enjoy your yard and landscape like you could.  Patio’s and summer just go together so it is a shame if you can’t enjoy them both at the same time.  To get the patio shade that you want you should look into investing into one of  a variety of patio covers.

Patio covers can be anything from a large awning that juts out from the house, to a simple patio umbrella that shades a table and a few chairs.  It all depends on you and what type of patio ideas you may have, or how you want your patio to be set up.  If you intend to do extensive relaxing and hold lots of get togethers outside you might look for something more permanent, such as an awning.  But if it is just an occasional stroll onto the porch for some fresh air, then maybe you are better off with the umbrella or small canopy idea.  No matter what your choice in covering, all will help you keep out the sun and allow you to enjoy your porch in the cool shade.  This is will create so many more opportunities to spend time with family and friends in the yard and enjoying nature as a whole.

Water Damage Repair Costs

How to help keep the cost down for cleaning up and repairing the damage left behind after a water or flood incident.

Amplify’d from www.homesandgardenjournal.com

Cleaning up after a flood can be a real pain in the behind, especially when it could have been avoided completely.   Recently a couple bought a home and moved back to their home state, upon entering their new home one of the first things to hit them was a mildew smell and sticky floors.  As they turned on the lights they saw that water from their washing machine had spilled out on to the floor above and leaked through the ceiling, down the walls and even down to the basement floor below.  The culprit was a $5 rubber hose that was damaged and it cost thousands of dollars and months to repair all of the water damage.  Luckily for them their home owners policy covered the cost of flood water damage repair but the whole thing could have been avoided had the rubber hose to the washer been replaced on time.

The Difference between Deodorants and Deodorant Body Sprays

Amplify’d from www.abeautifulsilence.com

Deodorant body sprays are all the rage today thanks to the wild popularity of the Axe products. Body sprays have been around far longer than the Axe brand, but thanks to clever marketing campaigns and memorable commercials, Axe has taken off, popularizing that category of products. A deodorant body spray, however, is very different than a standard deodorant.

Deodorants designed for use under the arms are formulated differently than anything you would put elsewhere on your body. Just as you wouldn’t a smear stick deodorant all over your chest or back, you don’t want to use a body spray on your armpits in the hopes of substituting it for a proper deodorant. While you can do this in a pinch, and it’s may better than nothing for keeping odor away if you’re used to using something, you may not want to make it a habit.

to Avoid Needing Water Damage Repairs

Ways to Avoid Needing Water Damage Repairs

The cost of repairing water damage to your home can be substantial and isn’t always covered by your insurance policy.  That is why it is necessary to use preventative measures to avoid water damage that needs to be repaired.   Once water heaters and washing machines were located in the basement of homes, now they are often on the main floor in a utility room and when they break the damage they do can be extensive.   Water spilling onto your kitchen’s hard wood floor can warp the boards and promote mold and bacteria if it isn’t cleaned up properly.  Cleaning services cost an average of $5000 in the US and that rate can go much higher if you have water leaking through the floor to the ceiling and on to the next floor.  It is much easier to prevent water damage from occurring in the first place than paying for costly repairs after the fact, not to mention avoiding all of the water damage repair hazards that have to be dealt with.

Convection heating units, or oil filled radiators,  are normally powerful enough to increase temperatures in an entire room, allowing them to be used as an extra heat source or back up to the normal furnace. The heat circulates well, providing an even amount of heat throughout a cool room. These units are perfect to heat a cold living room, bedroom or basement during the winter season. These efficient oil filled radiator units are a good choice because they are not very expensive to use. Read more at modernhomesdesigns.com

Why Families Love Their Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner

Amplify’d from homeandgardenshopping.net

Their new cleaner was a huge success and soon after Rexair became a household brand.  Later in 1955 Rexair redesigned their product to have a new sleeker casing and to use a motor that was twice as powerful as before.  They renamed this the “Rainbow.”  Since then, Rainbow vacuum cleaners have been in households around the world.One of the things that makes the Rainbow vacuum cleaner so unique and popular is the use of water in the chamber.  The water serves to keep the dust and dirt that is sucked up wet and prevent it from escaping back into the air.  It also cleans the unseen dirt out of the air stream that re-circulates through the air and into your home.  This feature is highly appreciated among those who suffer from airborne allergies.

Alternatives to Commercial Deodorant

Some people then opt to make their own home made deodorant and swear by them.  Usually made with natural butters like cocoa and shea these alternatives are easy to make, moisturizing and cost effective.  One recipe calls for baking soda, corn starch, shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E and essential oils and one batch lasts about five months and cost around $3 to make.   Essential oils like tea tree oil can be added and are an aromatic anti bacterial that can keep you stink free all day.   Another natural deodorant option is a deodorant crystal.  They are typically made of natural mineral salts that create an invisible barrier preventing the odor causing bacteria from developing on your skin.  They don’t contain any of the questionable chemicals found in every day antiperspirants and cost around $4.  One stick can withstand a year of daily use so you really get a lot of bang for your buck when using a crystal body deodorizer.

The Importance of Cleaning Up Quickly After a Flood

Amplify’d from www.houseandhomeguide.com

You should never wait to start cleaning up after a flood or a leak in your home.  Leaving stagnant dirty water in any area of your home could pose serious health hazards and cause your home to become unfit for human habitation.  It will also likely result in extensive water damage repairs being needed and a very vary high repair bill.  Also if you wait to start removing all of the water from your ceilings and floors the insurance company could see this as negligence on your part and refuse to accept the claim you submit to cover the cost of repairs.  Footing that bill out of pocket is usually a sudden and unnecessary expense.  If you start to drain your home of all the excess liquid as soon as you possibly can you will have a better likelihood of your insurance taking care of the cost of repair and of returning your home to normal quickly.

Electric Radiator Heater – The Safe And Effective Way To Go

Amplify’d from www.besthomeaccessories.com

Oil filled radiators, like the Honeywell oil filled radiator, among other things, come with convection heaters and are meant to raise an entire room’s temperature, instead of just blowing hot air towards a single person. These heaters expel heat upwards to displace the cold air as it’s moving, permitting circulation and movement of the air without using a fan. Such heaters raise the temperature in a room equally and are usually less costly than their radiant heater cousins. Furthermore, these convection heaters eliminate the risk of using a hot unit that can start a possible fire. Read more at www.besthomeaccessories.com

Deodorant Health Risks

Amplify’d from www.alphamaleadvice.com

If there was a beauty product you used every single day and you found out that it could potentially be increasing your risk of Alzheimer’s and breast cancer, would you stop using it?  Deodorant antiperspirants are categorized by the FDA as a drug and contain aluminum which has been linked to Alzheimer’s.  Aluminum in high doses is a neurotoxin and is capable of causing DNA damage.  Studies done on primates, dogs and mice have shown that the aluminum used in antiperspirants had detrimental effects on the test subjects.  Studies done in 1998 showed that the regular long term use of antiperspirants containing aluminum were linked to increased levels of aluminum in the blood and increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.  While the Alzheimer Society claims that the evidence linking aluminum to Alzheimer’s is circumstantial and seems increasingly unlikely.  It still might be a wise move to seek out aluminum free deodorants whenever possible to avoid the risks.
