So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Out in the market if you look around youll find a wide variety of silver purity rings available. You get common rings that have mediocre pricing to the fancier designed rings with gemstones incorporated into them and these are very costly.

If you search for the meaning of purity it means freedom from sin or guilt. In another sense it means innocence and chastity. Ideally you would want your future spouse to be sexually pure before getting married.

These sterling silver purity ring is not always given to the other gender to whom you plan to get married. Sometimes parents gift their sons and daughters who are soon to get married this precious gift of deeper symbolic meaning.

The silver purity ring can be worn by males and females alike. Of course you will have to select the design accordingly. Young couples in love are often gifted with these rings. Many jewelers have developed complimentary jewelry with purity rings such as purity bracelets and the like.

This is considered to be the most famous out of all the varieties of sterling silver purity rings. It is supposed to symbolizes the Gods love gives to the world. Its basically worn to show the dedication and devotion one has towards God.

Focus of the ring is to keeping ones self away from the impure sexual imaginations and actions. It is a way in which you get encouraged to be sexually pure until you get married and take vows in the name of God .

The theory behind these purity rings is amazingly strong. The jewels denote the sexual purity. As the jewels have to be protected in the same way one has to keep oneself sexually wholesome till the time is right.

That is until one gets married. The guarding of ones purity is likened to that of treasuring a precious jewel hence making this an excellent choice for a purity ring. The silver ring also consists of one jewel stone which represents the self and independence.

This new purity ring displays the theory of sexual purity in a totally different way. The two pink stones on the ring denote love and romance. These two are enclosed by two white stones which are believed to show the purity of relationship.

Mosquito Deleto Synopsis

By Linda Grant

When you think of annoying things, mosquitoes are at the top of the list. I was never so happy when I stumbled upon a Coleman Mosquito Deleto for sale a while back. I read up on the system and found out how well it worked. My skin was already jumping for joy.

My main reason for purchasing the Mosquito Deleto is I wanted something that could protect me. Mosquitoes love to prey on humans because of the body heat, carbon dioxide and odor that everyone puts out. In Layman?s terms, mosquitoes are attracted to humans naturally.

The Mosquito Deleto does exactly what you think it would. It simply eliminates the bugs. Let?s take a closer look at the product.

I mentioned a two paragraphs before about mosquitoes being attracted to humans. Well, the Mosquito Deleto has their entire system built around this idea.

The technology emits carbon dioxide, odors and heat to trick the mosquitoes. It doesn?t take much to outsmart a bug, but that is what the Mosquito Deleto does. They end up being lured and to get stuck on a trip of adhesive before they dry up and die.

There is an add-on you can buy called the Mosquito Deleto Inhibitor. This adds another odor to the system so you are protected as well. This works great if you are getting bit too much.

The whole system of the Mosquito Deleto costs around $200 in most stores. The replacement adhesive costs an extra $15 each time.

If you need to find the best price, look no further than online. I bought mine for a cheaper price when they had them on sale at Amazon. There are sales everywhere if you look.

Other than that, I wish you the best of luck in getting rid of these party crashers. Next summer doesn?t have to be a terrible experience with the Mosquito Deleto on your side.

Does Owning Less Stuff Equate to More Happiness?

By Heidi DeCoux

The people of Denmark have once again topped the charts as the happiest people on earth. Americans ranked 23rd.

Therefore, it is interesting that the Danes own and consume less than half as much stuff as American people do. In Denmark, the average home size is 1,184 square feet while in the United States the average home size is 2,330 square feet. 350,000 is the average amount of items a US home has in it!

The size of an average US home has doubled in the last 30 years, while the average number of people living in each household has decreased by half. We continue to consume and collect more and more things and thus require more and more space.

If happiness is what you are looking for, consider scaling down the amount of stuff you own and taking a cue from the Danes. The amount of time and money you spend maintaining and storing your things increases with amount of stuff you accumulate. Wouldn't you rather be spending your time and money doing something that you really love?

Getting and staying organized becomes much easier when you scale down on the things you own. You can live more comfortably using less space if you're organized. Think about the amount of utilities, land and items a 5,000 square foot home consumes as opposed to that of a 1,500 square foot condominium. If you make the choice to live in a smaller space, living comfortably becomes possible if you are organized.

As a professional organizer, the top two questions I get asked are, "How do I figure out what to get rid of?" and "How do I know I won't need that item again?"

My answer is: Find all the things in your home that are not useful or meaningful and get rid of them. If, at some point, you decide you do in fact need that item, you would easily be able to find another one on Craigslist, Ebay, or one of the online free markets across the US.

Let's say you have an unused bookcase and you sell it on Craigslist for $40. Then, let's say, that you decide one year later that you do, in fact, need a bookcase. A used one will be easy to find within a week or two. Many times you will find a better suitable one as well. Also, $40 is what you would have saved or spent over the last year while not having to store an unused bookcase.

If you are willing to trust that the items you need will be available to you when you need them, you can let go of everything in your home that is not useful or meaningful. When you do this, chances are your level of happiness and the amount of money in your bank account will both increase.

Do Your Research Before Attending Federal Auto Auctions

By Garry Knight

Have you heard how easy it is to buy cars at federal auto auctions and save yourself some money? Federal auto auctions are some of the best ways to get wonderful cars at great prices, so you should try and learn about how to locate and bid in them. Finding out how to locate them, learning whether you qualify to bid, and viewing what the auctions are offering is a simple process and one that you need to learn about.

The federal government is only one of several possible sources for auction vehicles. They may be the result of someone being unable to afford their income taxes or they may have been seized if there was any criminal or fraudulent activity that their owner was involved in. Sometimes, financial institutions will place cars in an auction if they want to get money back that was part of a defaulted loan scenario.

All of this means that there are some beautiful vehicles available for much less than you might pay in a retail setting. Often, federal auctions also feature other luxury vehicles such as boats, trucks, RVs and motorcycles. They are often also full of used car dealers who are looking for vehicles they can buy at a good price and then resell on their lots.

If you want to find federal auto auctions, the Internet will be your best bet to do so. You may need to register and there may be a fee to participate in some auctions. If you register, you will get the chance to preview the vehicles that are for sale, which can be a bonus if you want to make purchasing decisions in advance.

In order to bid at an auction you need to be a licensed driver over the age of 18. The highest bid will win the vehicle that has been put on the block. If you win the vehicle, you must be prepared to pay for it at the auction site. Most auctions will take a range of different payment options including cash, credit card, cashier's check or money order. Some may take a non-certified check however there is less chance of this and it is a good idea to have another payment method with you.

It is always wonderful to be able to afford a quality vehicle and you may find that federal auto auctions are just what you need to be able to do that.
