Furnace troubles and help

  • Posted on January 30, 2012 at 4:58 pm

What a time for our furnace to take a dive. I’ve called all different appliance/furnace guys and most are closing in a few minutes. We all have colds and no heat. Not good.

My neighbor is coming to save the day. I cook for him, and since my husband works third shift, our neighbor take care of things if need be. To be honest, I guess I wasn’t thinking clearly due to really not feeling well and I didn’t remember my friend and neighbor Larry is a handy man and jack of all trades, not to mention a farmer.

I had to go to the little store/gas station here and told one of my friends what was going on. He said he didn’t know anything about furnaces, but offered propane for the heater we have. I really don’t like using it, as they scare me, so I thanked him anyway and came home. I wasn’t in the door ten minutes and my neighbor Larry called to tell me he was coming down. The mutual friend of our that I talked to at the store apparently called Larry and told him what was going on here. We are fortunate living here and having good friends and neighbors.

In need of a Cincinnati Attorney

  • Posted on January 27, 2012 at 3:10 pm

My girlfriend Amy just moved to Cincinnati and needed a Cincinnati Attorney, to keep her affairs in order, and also go over the fine print on her contracts, will and any other legal issues.  Since she moved there because of her job, she still doesn’t know very many people and was getting fairly exasperated talking to the people in her office, all of whom tried to be helpful, but also all had various “lawyer stories” to tell her. She is still keeping her lawyer up here, as she has her house leased out and he keeps an eye on her holdings here.

When she came back for the holidays, she contacted her lawyer here, and asked her if she could recommend a good +1 Cincinnati Lawyer. Within a few days, she got the names of lawyers who were really fair and good at what they do. When she went back to Cincinnati she talked to four of the reccomended lawyers and now is really happy with the one she hired. In fact, she is more than happy. When she called me, she had a glowing report to tell me.

Out of all the attorneys that she spoke with, she found that they were all qualified for her needs, but certain ones she didn’t “click” with. And one man only specialized in being a Cincinnati DUI Attorney. Since she doesn’t drink and never has, she of course didn’t need him. Still, she told me just in case anyone ever would ask her if she knew of one, she would give the person this lawyers name.

Simple birthday wishes

  • Posted on January 27, 2012 at 2:37 pm

My grand daughter’s birthday is coming up and all she asked for was these fire balls. Bless her heart…it doesn’t take much to make her happy. I went up to the small store here in our little town and since I know the owner well, asked him if he would order a case of them. He did and only charged me his cost. He allowed me to save a great deal of money. I’m still going to buy my grand daughter something else, of course. I know though, she will be really thrilled with these.

Going Home to Mom’s

  • Posted on January 27, 2012 at 2:25 pm

My daughter and I are going to spend the weekend with my Mom in a little while. I love going “home” because it’s a chance to see my Mom and also have my daughter spend time with her Nana. It’s really relaxing there, and my daughter and I have the whole upper floor of the house, which is HUGH to ramble around in.

Down in the basement I have an antique work bench I usually sort my garden seeds for Mom’s yards and also my woodworking hobbies. The cool thing about this workbench is I discovered even secret drawers in side of drawers. I’ve often wondered what kind of secrets were hidden in them.

My daughter and I like to help Mom around the house. She is getting up there in age and really appreciates the help. The great thing is, she is an awesome cook and cooks all kinds of great Hungarian food for us, along with her twists on other wonderful foods. Yep, I’m looking forward to going home. :)

Home Improvement

Contributed by Vickie Tyson

I have directv at home and I’ve been watching a lot of home improvement shows. I love that there are so many great programs on décor and redoing the backyard and everything like that because I’ve got this new house and I really want it to look good. Since I moved here I’ve been all about making this home somewhere I can be proud of, it is my first house afterall! I am so thankful the down real estate market has finally afforded me the possibility to buy a home that I can call my own. I love being a homeowner and though it’s a lot of responsibility I am really proud of myself for already making this place so great on the inside and I’m planning on having a housewarming party relatively soon to show off my work. My friends are impressed because I’m the first one of us to buy a home and you know, that feels good. It makes me feel like I’m happy I’ve done this well for myself by this young age.
