Down to the…

The article written by Alonso Kramer I went down to the richardson texas just energy office to check into better rates – my old provider was just bleeding me dry. I don’t know what you know about summers in Texas but they are HOT which is why I really appreciate that this is one of the few states where you can choose your energy provider without having to settle for the worst rate ever. I love that people around here are trying to be greener and better to the environment and I’m definitely trying to do my part, too. I just wish there were more ways that I knew about that I’d be able to help since I care deeply about the environment. I try only to use the AC when I need to and I’m all about composting and turning off the water whenever I can. Every little sacrifice counts which is why I do everything from recycle to putting out organic bird seed – everyone should be a little more eco-concious!

How to Put on a Wetsuit

Millions upon millions upon millions of people on a daily basis find major difficulty putting on a wetsuit (actually, I'm over exaggerating, but still many people have a problem doing this). Its understandable that people would find putting on their wetsuits rather challenging. There usually isn't a manual on how to put it on, and the wetsuit tends to be so tight that its rather difficult to put one on. If you are a triathlete who needs to use a wetsuit during a race, race day is not a good time to learn how to put one of these things on. Fortunately, for those out there who needs pointers on how to put on a wetsuit, I found a video that shows you how to do just that. The instructions are very straight forward, and this method does not require you to oil yourself up first (thankfully). Enjoy!

Rain Chain Green-It-Yourself Project

Most homes have to deal with water that runs off the roof. More often than not, even if you have a rain gutter, the rain is directed to a location where the water will pool, and cause damage to your property. One of the easiest ways to better deal with rain runoff is to create a rain chain . There are many different types of rain chains , and some of the most amazing houses, and temples commonly use them to better deal with rain run off. This device is also sometimes called a chains rain , although rain chain is the more commonly used term. A rain chain can be made out of stainless steel, but just regular steel would also work. Even if the steel rusts, since the water is just going to run off anyway, this is not a problem, and can add a rustic look to your decor. If you like the rust color, but don' want to have to deal with the rust, you can also make a rain chain out of copper. Below is a video detailing how to make your very own rain chain.

Internal Revenue Boogie - A Song By Mr. Destiny

I came across this video of a guy named Dick Destiny singing a song entitled "Internal Revenue Boogie". Basically, its about him getting a letter from the IRS, saying that he was going to get audited, but could possibly make a deal with the IRS to keep himself out of trouble. Its tough when you owe money to the IRS, but what is much cooler is for those who are training to be a tax preparer. Those people learn the ins, and outs of the tax system. The ones that are already a tax preparer do have to go through an enrolled agent continuing education program, where they can get their credentials renewed. There are several classes that a tax preparer would need to go through, including an ea ethics course . But on the bright side, the continuing education classes can be taken online which would free up the student to go about their normal daily routine. What's even better is that you can take a practice exam online as well which would really help to prepare the tax preparer ...

Have No Fear - DIAL UP GUY IS HERE!!!

This is a crazy video about dial up guy - the guy who shows up to help solve your problems, even if they have nothing to do with internet service . Problem is, dial up guy moves at the speed of dial up. Which means that you have to wait awhile for him to help you with your problem. Too bad he couldn't be more like dsl dude. He gets there A LOT faster, and is able to work things out, not only for you, but for five of your closest friends as well. I guess we can't all be faster than the speed of sound, more powerful than.... never mind. Enjoy the video!

Battery In The Mail

This is kind of a crazy video skit about a guy that is somehow able to break the space time continuum, and have a conversation with himself (he says that he is talking to his brother, but you and I both know that he is talking to himself). In this episode, Phexid (no I did not make that up), is sleeping when his brother comes in. His brother brings in a surprise package for Phexid to open. Could it be the digital camera batteries that he has been waiting so long for???
