The Rage In Displaying Photos

March 11, 2008   Filed Under: General   167 words

The best way to display your pictures is with a digital picture frame. These LCD photo frames come in a variety of sizes and colors for you to show off your digital photography with. Right now there is a promotion going on where you will get a free 256MB memory card with each 10-inch frame that you order. You will be ready to go as soon as your digital frame arrives.

The photo frames come in sizes ranging from 7-15 inches. These frames are affordable and you can customize them based on image transition and when you want certain pictures to expire. They are also affordable and don’t come with any complicated instructions.

Another good thing is that many of the frames play sound. That means you can put your video clips in the frames and watch your favorite memories from time to time. The sound will be the added touch that makes watching these videos again and again worthwhile.

I Want A Digital Camera!

I’m still very upset about my camera that broke last year on New Year’s Day. Yesterday I came across the Fuji FinePix S8000fd and fell in love. I read a review at Cnet about the image quality and then decided to go with the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS, which is around the same price. I don’t have the money to buy either one right now, but I’ve been reading numerous reviews so that when I do buy one, it will be the right one.

I think I will go with the Fuji. I have a great history with them as far as image quality, although I’ve had negative experiences with them as far as longevity. You would think I’d learn a lesson after two of their cameras broke on me within a year and a half. I’m thinking this time I’ll get a camera case to lug it around in, and purchase the extended warranty as well. Pretty much do my best to take care of the darn thing and see if that makes any difference.

It has been so long since I’ve had a camera that I’m tempted to just buy it now. I don’t want to, though, because I’m doing so well with paying off credit card bills. I’ve paid off one and a 1/2, and expect to finish paying off the other 1/2 by the end of this month. My credit card debt has been reduced by 20%, and my overall debt by 6% (only the credit card debt shows up on my credit report, though). It feels great. In a few months, hopefully I can get a loan to pay off the rest of my debt. Maybe I can even stay in school!

Nursing Scrubs Can Fit Well, Too

March 11, 2008   Filed Under: General   218 words

My mom recently mentioned her disgust about the nursing scrubs that she currently wears. “They make me look old,” she says, “…like a grandmother.” I felt bad for her. The poor woman hasn’t gotten new scrubs since we lived in Indiana. And that was over seven years ago. While she has been feeling the savings, she has also been feeling totally clueless when it comes to style.

I did a google search and came upon Escrubz. I showed her and we quickly decided to order some Hip Flip and Real Fit scrubs. Both of them are a better fit than the traditional scrubs that would only flatter Spongebob Squarepant’s figure. From the name of these two pants, I’m guessing that she’ll look very stylish, and be comfortable too.

The best part is that these scrubs are name brand–they are Dickies. Now, to my mom, that’s nothing. The woman has no clue about name brands! But her having Dickies makes me feel confident that she’ll have the best scrubs at the nursing home, and they’ll also rival the longevity of the scrubs she had for seven years.
