It’s a common thing these days to see people, checking their credit scores.  The three different reporting agencies, have everything listed on your credit that has been accrued since you began buying property or making loans.

I have found that checking your credit report can sometimes, cause an increase in your car and home insurance premiums.  I certainly hope this wouldn’t be the case with this company.

They offer a free credit score for you to compare with the other agencies that are reporting your scores.  There is also an  annual credit report to keep you updated on your yearly accounts.  This help you find any identity theft should it occur.  We  all know what happens when someone takes our identity and uses it to make large loans, or purchases.  I myself, fell victim to such a thing a few years back.  It’s no fun to follow up on all the different companies and try to get things straightened out.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act says that you have to right to get a totally free credit report from each agency per year.  Getting free reports from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion can be done online or you can call them and get a report within 15 days.  They suggest staggering the reports, so that you can get a new one every quarter of the year.  Credit Nexus, can help you with this, today.

I’ve found that it’s a great taste to try different things for dips, to dip chips with…….I’m not talking about potatoes either(chips), I’m talking potato chips or dororitos, or other chips. I like to get some fritos and dip them in peanut butter for a snack. I can really chow down on them. Celery sticks are good dipped in peanut butter, too. I also, like pimento cheese, to dip with, and you know what happens to my waistline, when I partake.. . You only live once, and I’ve gotten into doing this once too often, while watching TV

Parsley is a diuretic that purifies the blood and accelerates the excretion of toxin.  It stimulates appetite and aids digestion and metabolism.  The herb can also ease bloating, stomach cramps and nausea, as well as relieve arthritis symptoms.  Eaten regularly it reduces heart rat and lowers blood pressure.  To keep your breath fresh chew on fresh parsley leaves.  For treatment of kidney stones, brew up some parsley tea.

It’s becoming easier to get glasses in today’s world.  These glasses are inexpensive and can cost much less than your regular optical stores.  I noticed that this website has several different videos and now you can see ads for Zenni Optical on TV!!!

You can go online, order your brand or style, have them made and shipped in a very short time.  This website offers $ 8 Rx eyeglasses, and bifocals as well as for a little more than regular lens.  Childrens’ glasses are so expensive, and get lost or broken very easily.  The greatest part about this company is that you can afford to buy more than one pair and still have plenty of money left.  I give a High Five to Zenni Optical for the efforts they are making to make eye wear buying easier on you.  They have many testimonials on their website, as to the quality of their products.  There’s even an auto try on tutorial, that assists you in selecting the right styles and fit for your glasses.

I was sent these in a email…………thought you might get a kick out of them……..
