Your Financial Insurance

Looking for a place to park your money? Why not invest in gold? The precious metal can be your saving grace in times of financial crisis, a sort of insurance. Precious metals like platinum, silver and gold coins are the only items that remain strong during inflation.

Back in ’97, when my parent’s business suffered a financial crisis, it was mom’s gold coins that saved them. Unlike real estate, these items are very easy to sell. People know how it’s value appreciates over time, that’s why. My parent’s tried to sell some of their lands but there were no takers at that time, thanks to mom’s coins, they were able to get back on their feet in less than a year.

So why wait when you have the money to buy gold? Your financial insurance is just a click away.

What Breed Of Dog Are You?

You Are a Bullmastiff

You are confident, reasonable, and very calm. Nothing shakes you up.

It’s likely that you were a bit wild when you were younger, but you’ve gotten that out of your system.

The only time you get aggressive is when someone tries to threaten or harm you in some way.

There’s a little bit of wolf underneath all that sheep’s clothing!

The Trick to Hair balls

Hair balls? Oh, I’m sure you’ve tried everything — daily brushing, controlling your pet’s food — still, you find hair balls on the floor. I gave up on Loki and asked the groomer to do a summer cut so we won’t have to deal with hair balls anymore. He’s already sporting a summer cut when I found a trick to clean up hair balls easily.

Oh, but don’t worry, I’d still share it with you so you’ll know how to deal with them. To do: After brushing, use a moist cloth to remove any loose fur the comb might have missed. Doing this will help your pet ingest even less fur. Any particles your pet consumes can easily pass through her digestive system instead of building up.

Precious Gold Coins

Since my husband is an avid collector of coins, it’s the first thing that came to mind when my sister asked me where to invest her money. I told her that the best place to keep her money is to buy gold. I had no interest in gold coins until I met my husband. And over the years, I’ve seen how the value of his precious coins appreciated.

It was not hard to convince her. As soon as I told her that it’s a sound investment, she asked me to help her look for gold coins. Even mom couldn’t agree more, she too has some rare coins that she kept since I was about 12. She says, the value appreciates trough time and we’ll be surprised at how much it will cost in a few more years.

The Jewelry Test

I am fun! That’s what the results say and that is true.

You Are Fun

You always like to add a whimsical touch to your look. You never take yourself all that seriously.

You are driven, but you aren’t taking the beaten path to success. You are doing things your way.

Of all the types, you are the most original and creative. You wear your uniqueness as a badge of honor.

You are bright and happy. You have a lot to be optimistic about, and you have a “can do” spirit.

I Know What You’ve Been Doing!

A little boy had a bad habit of sucking his thumb. After trying just about everything, his mother finally attempted to scare him by saying if he didn’t quit the habit, he’d get fat. Two weeks later, the mother had friends over to play poker. During the game, the child pointed to an obviously pregnant woman and said, “Aha! I know what you’ve been doing!”

Opus X

On my way to the mall yesterday, I got a text message from mom asking if I can look for opus x. I had no idea what it was so I called her to ask. Lol, I’m suppose to look for that particular brand of cigar. It’s the birthday of my dad’s best friend tomorrow and he wants to give him his favorite brand of cigar. It must be a popular brand because I didn’t have a hard time finding it.
