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

Find A Great Deal: Look At Repossessed Cars For Sale

By Andrew Wilson


If you are looking to buy a new or used vehicle, you should first research repossessed cars for sale. Borrowers who default on car loans have their cars taken back by the bank. Then, the bank sells these vehicles, usually at a very low price.

Consumers looking for repossessed cars for sale should start by searching for auctions. Many of these are sold by large auction houses. By researching online or in the newspaper, consumers can find information about upcoming auctions and nearby auction houses that may have more information on these vehicles. Local banks who have reclaimed cars for defaulted loans may also sell the vehicles themselves to avoid auctioneer's fees. Local new and used auto dealers may be selling repossessed cars as well.

Auction houses usually have information on the makes, models and years of the cars for sale as well. Banks and car dealers often keep these cars on the property so that customers can see them. Potential buyers should research the types of cars that they prefer and the types of cars that are available. By researching in advance, buyers will be able to make quick decisions at auction if necessary. Buyers should also ask to see a vehicle history report, if it is available.

After choosing your car and where you plan to buy it, you must decide how you plan to pay for the car. If you will pay for the whole purchase up front, make sure you have the correct source of payment, such as check, money order, or cash, as some auction houses or dealers can be restricted on the types of payment they accept. If you need financing, you should arrange this with your bank in advance, taking into account how much you can afford.

Test driving the automobile is a great idea, if that option is available. This may be the case at banks and dealerships, and often auction houses as well. If you cannot test drive the car, at least start the engine to determine that the car is running. If you do not feel knowledgeable enough about cars, bring a mechanic or a friend for assistance.

There are several other important tips to know before buying a repossessed car at auction. Bad weather days are a good day to go to an auction, since you will be competing against fewer people. Going early in the morning and going on a weekday instead of a weekend will also reduce the crowds that you will encounter. Taking a copy of a Kelley Blue Book, which gives you the values of used cars in various conditions, is also helpful.

Make sure you do your research about auctions before buying a car there. Read the fine print so that you are educated on any hidden costs, such as fees or buyer premiums. Visit an auction before you plan to buy, so that you know how auctions are run and how purchases are made. Make sure you research the cars in advance and avoid making hasty decisions based only on emotions.

For those looking for an affordable vehicle, check out repossessed cars for sale in your area. These cars are often in great condition and often for sale for very low prices.

Don't Be The One Biting The Dust, Beat The Dust Instead

By Aiden Mundt


Do you find yourself coming up with excuses when it comes to cleaning, dusting and vacuuming? Simply because the mere sight of dust wears you down, perhaps? Sounds like you could use these tips for beating the dust so you don't need to clean nearly as much. Interested? Of course you are.

Clean the filter of your air conditioner frequently especially during the summer. This is easy to do. Just take out the filter and use the vacuum to suck up the accumulated dust. If the filter is extremely dirty or dusty, then it's time for a replacement. Cheap and easy.

Did you know the worst indoor dirt carriers are your shoes? Yours and everybody else's. So to prevent uninvited sand, grit and dirt, place a doormat or towel on the floor near the door. Then make sure everyone wipes their shoes before entering your sacred halls.

Don't make it a habit to clean up your door screens only when they've gotten so bad you can hardly see through them. Anymore you don't need to take the whole screen off and hose it down, because with a handy dry sponge used for pet hair, you can clean your dirty door screens.

It is always best to take down your curtains and wash them or take them to the dry cleaners at least during your annual spring cleaning day. But since you may ignore that advice, simply vacuum them using your brush attachment to suck up any built up dust.

Ceiling and standing fans needs constant cleaning if you want your house to be dust free. You see, dust accumulates on the blades. When you turn the fan on, dust particles will circulate with the air inside the room and fall on the floor or table tops.

If there is one household staple that accumulates the most dust it would be your carpet. Yes, you may not see the dust but it doesn't mean it is not there because dust and dirt love to settle in among the carpet fibers. So vacuum your carpets often. All areas at least once a week and high traffic areas more often if possible.

Keep your hardwood floors dust free by damp mopping them. This is better than sweeping or vacuuming. After mopping, you can dust-proof the floors using liquid floor wax. Let the wax dry and finish off with a dry wipe down.

Beating the dust out of your home doesn't have to be a full time job. It is completely manageable and something you can control. By acting on these tips you need not let cleaning take over your life as a dreaded daily routine.

A Short History Lesson Of Clothing Such As Women Clothing And Fashions

By Tami Oren


Throughout the centuries there is one thing that has separate classes of people; clothing such as women clothing. Simply by the way women dress tells a story of their personality, style, income and social class. The only thing that has changed is the design of the clothes themselves.

In the 17th Century, the common woman only had a couple of different dresses they could wear. It was very rare to find a commoner with more than this due to their limited income. However nobility and the wives of merchants were much more likely to have a large number of changes so they were never seen in the same dress by others of the same stature.

Many of the women apparel in the 16th and 17th Centuries were made of silk and were very heavy. By the 18th Century muslin was introduced along with ruffles, big hats and large colored plumes. Layers of clothes were worn which included pantaloons and petticoats beneath the overdress. Large hats with giant dyed plumes to match the dress accented the overdress.

The later decades of the 18th Century had women trying to rebel against low necklines, tight corsets and skirts that seemingly cleaned the street when they walked. These subjects became very touchy with men designers rebutting women's cries for change. They continued designing clothing that was revealing and gave much more shape to women.

With the 19th Century came rebellion and the shortening of skirts. Women considered removing the tight corsets and bustles but designers won the battle. Women's apparel was still produced with many of the features that previously enhanced women's shape. Gradually skirts were shortened and bustles were removed in an attempt to allow women to show their natural curves.

As time passed, more masculine apparel began to become popular. Sewing machines began to be a common fixture in homes and women began designing and making their own clothes. These were much more practical than the ones they once had to endure.

The first decade of the 20th Century brought shorter skirts that revealed ladies ankles. Before the beginning of WWI, designers played with the lengths of skirts and began removing the corsets and bustles that had restricted women for centuries. They became more straight line with a short train.

Within ten years, women's clothing moved into a new era and introduced pants and shorts. These were the most revealing clothing ever made. These were common dress for ladies who used servants and did not have to perform chores.

By the time WWII began, women were more focused on practical clothing in drab colors. They saw material being rationed as well as fasteners such as buttons. When the war was over, designers began changing women's apparel drastically. They introduced miniskirts, halter tops, the bikini and short-shorts. The changes that clothing such as women clothing, saw over this one century would impact history.
