Just picked up a great tip from my aunt Kathy. You can get free minor jewelry repair at Jared jewelers by opening up an account at their stores. This puts you on their mailing list and gives you a credit line, but even if you do not use it you can get free jewelry repair there. It is amazing what some stores will give you just to have access to showing you advertisements.

Just wanted to remind everyone to thank a soldier today for their service and their sacrifice. And if you want to really make someone’s day thank a soldiers spouse for their service and their sacrifice.
Happy Memorial Day

Recently USA Today posted a report on buyer activity starting to increase in the big real estate bubble states of California, Arizona, Florida and Nevada. This is an indication that the banks are finally learning how to deal with this real estate mess.
When the bubble began to break two years ago the banks pretty much stayed in denial about foreclosures and tried to get the amount of the loan out of the properties. Now they are finally getting to the point of putting prices that reflect a market value. Some areas are actually starting to see multiple bids on properties.
This will really take effect in the bubble markets and will eventually seep over to the markets that did not have a real bubble. This means that there are deals to be had in real estate and that people who have been able to pay their mortgages while the value of their home drops should see home values come back in the next two to three years.

Walgreen’s has decided to offer free health care to anyone who has lost their job and is uninsured at their 340 Take Care Clinics. This is a great way for people to get used to using a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor. Prescriptions are not covered under this offering.
It has been over a year since I first talked about the advantages of nurse practitioners and the amazing cost savings. I will be going through a job change in the next few months and this will put my family on a health savings account style of insurance. I will soon be searching for a good nurse practitioner to take care of all the little stuff instead of going into a doctor.
You can check out the Wagreen’s offer here and can read my previous post about nurse practitioners and quick clinics here

Mother’s day is just around the corner and I have been trying to think of what to get the women in my life (we are expecting our first in July so I am getting a head start on brownie points with my wife). Older More mature mothers still appreciate the standard gifts and are many times resistant to new technology (like my mom and mother-in-law). But there is a whole generation of new moms and techno grannies that may want something cool and new.

For this reason I am considering getting my wife a Flip camcorder. This little camcorder can record up to sixty minutes and some even have HD capability. The most cost effective of the brand are under $100.
The best feature is how easy it is to use and upload to a computer. It has a little arm that flips out of the side to reveal a usb connection that plugs directly into your computer.
What makes this handy over other camcorders is that it is so small. They run only 2.8 inches thick and 5.4 inches long. So they fit easily into a purse and are always available for that random moment of cuteness (or that temper tantrum that you may want to hold over their head when they are older). So if you have a techno savvy woman in your life the Flip camcorder may be the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
You can find the Flip on Amazon.com for 30 Minute
, 60 Minute
, or HD
