I was just checking out a website that helps people get back the diminished value of your car if you get in an accident and it is not your fault. It made me realize once again how lucky I was when the girl hit my Jeep. I was parked in a parking lot with a stick shift car in front of me. The vehicles were facing each other head on. The girl was not paying attention when she started her car and it was still in gear. She had left it in gear when she parked. As she started it her car jumped forward and slammed into the front of my Jeep.

Luckily I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee so I did not get much damage. When she backed up her car it ripped my front vanity plate and it's holder off of my bumper. Nothing really happened to my vehicle. I just had to buy a new license plate holder and vanity plate. Her car on he other hand was a mess. The bumper was pushed in and the hood was bent in half. This is also why we always drive SUVs. That and the need for 4WD.

I was freaking out when it happened. I was very worried that when the two vehicles got pulled apart my poor baby would be hurt. Yes, I am very protective of my Jeep. I would have been very upset if there was more damage to my vehicle. That is why this website seems so cool to me. It helps you get back the money you are losing when the value of your vehicle goes done because of an accident and it is not your fault. You can still get money back for up to four years after an accident. They even give free estimates. Thank goodness I did not need them but if you ever get in a car accident or you have been in one in the last four years you should check them out.

This morning I posted my Friday Game only to find out that in Firefox it created a mess of my template. Most people in Entrecard are now using Firefox so that they can also use the new Entrecard Toolbar. So I decided that I will not be posting a game today. I just do not want to play around with it today and end up just getting annoyed. I am sorry if anyone was looking forward to a game today. You can still play games in the Arcade section of the main website anytime you feel like it. It will always be at the top of the page with the navigation buttons.

Summer school is now over and the week of fun and relaxation afterward is over. So this week has been a week of getting down to business and catching up on things. We had so many plans for the summer and nothing really has gotten done. I should say that I had many plans for the summer. The girls are not too thrilled with it all.

This week has been spent doing tons of yard work and tons of organizing around the house. The girls are really big on "break time". I can get them to do almost any chores as long as they know that afterward they will get a break. It is always a preplanned thing too. That way they work faster to get to the break. This week the breaks have been used to watch movies we have not seen yet.

I joined the Disney Movie Club a few months ago. They have been one of our sponsors for awhile and so I figured that I should join and check it out. Actually that is more of an excuse for me to spend more money and buy more movies. We have a huge DVD collection. When we moved to this small town I stopped buying movies. I rarely do the shopping any more since there are no stores in this town. James runs stores in two different cities so he does all the shopping on his way home.

I had thought about joining for awhile but I was busy and I kept putting it off. Finally I joined the Disney Movie Club. We had a blast picking out all the movies for the introductory package. The girls and I all sat at the computer trying to decide. I forgot how many Disney movies came out when I was little that they had never seen. There are also a lot of movies that came out recently and I had not even heard of them.

So this week we watched Ella Enchanted (adorable & funny) and Game Plan (Something for everyone- funny, adorable, & football). I do not know where I have been that I had not even heard of them. I only got them because they were the pick of the month. I am glad that I did get them though because they were really good movies. We still have a few movies from the introductory package to watch. I just had to buy The Black Hole even though I know it is not the best movie. I really do not remember much about it other than that I saw it when I was a kid and it was Disney trying to compete with Star Wars. My kids love Star Wars so I have wanted to watch The Black Hole with them for years but I never could find any one that was selling it. I was very happy to find out that the Disney Movie Club has tons of movies that you can not find anywhere else.

Have you seen the Sproutwells? I do not quite know what to think about them yet. They are interesting and a bit funny though. I wonder what will come of them next. They are a fruit and veggie family that moves into a normal human neighborhood. Will they fit in? Will they be in for a rude awakening when they see what humans do with fruits and vegetables?

If I had to be a fruit or vegetable I wonder what I would pick. Maybe a tomato because they can be made into many things. Oh wait, I guess the point would be to not get eaten. In that case I would be an artichoke. Then I would taste great but still have those sharp tips so I can still fight back.

(ARA) – Millions of vehicles -- both new and previously owned -- are purchased each year, and with the uncertain economy, people are holding onto their cars much longer, well after the original warranty has expired. For most people, a car or truck is one of their biggest investments. So how do you protect it for years to come?

A Vehicle Protection Plan is an extended warranty that covers a vehicle for up to seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. In addition to providing protection against unexpected and costly mechanical and electrical breakdowns, most plans include 24-hour emergency roadside assistance, towing, rental car reimbursement and tire road-hazard protection.

Even when your vehicle is in great shape, mechanical breakdowns are a reality that can happen at any time to any vehicle. This is why the manufacturers only offer warranties for a limited time period. The older your vehicle is and the more miles it has, the higher the chance a breakdown will occur. A Vehicle Protection Plan is a good investment to protect yourself today from a costly repair bill in the future.

Security National Warranty understands that an extended warranty is a big investment, but so is your car or truck. They offer a wide variety of coverage, deductibles and financing options. They will customize your extended warranty especially for you.

It might be considered convenient to purchase an extended warranty from your auto dealership, but it’s not cheaper. Car dealers often re-sell an extended warranty for two to three times the cost of what they paid. And if they don’t show you the contract in advance, you have no idea what features and benefits you’re receiving.  

Security National Warranty offers extensive coverage at wholesale prices directly to the consumer. Their bumper-to-bumper, extended warranties are valid at any licensed mechanic or dealership in the United States and Canada and many offer 24-hour roadside assistance, car rental and towing allowances and more. Claims are paid directly with no time-consuming middleman to worry about. *

Well the thunderstorms started last night and it is supposed to be storming off and on for a day and a half. This means bored and grumpy kids. My kids hate being stuck inside and seeing how dark and gloomy it is outside does not help. I thought that today might be a perfect day for window paints. It will give them something to do and brighten up the day.

Window Paints

You Will Need

Powdered tempera paint
Clear dish detergent
Paintbrushes

Add the dish detergent to the tempera paint slowly until you get a smooth, paint-like consistency. Clean the window. When it is dry, start painting your picture. To clean off the paint, simply wipe the window with a paper towel, then clean the window with your regular window cleaner. Very simple.

These days airlines are trying to deal with the rising oil prices just like we are. They have cut back the amount of flights they are making and have raised the price of tickets. Many airlines are also cutting back on staff to cut more costs. What has not really been discussed much is how they are cutting back on many of the extra frills that people came to expect.

Many people try to rest while traveling. They will no longer be able to get pillows and blankets on their flights. With all of the luggage you already have to drag around, who wants to carry their own pillow and blanket? You really can not carry much with you now that carry-on rules have become more strict and size is a bigger issue.

Cabin Cuddler has that all covered for you. It is a travel blanket that is made to fit around your body and cover you completely. It even has a pocket to keep your feet warm. It also has an inflatable pillow that is very easy to blow up. Now you can be completely comfortable anywhere. Plus all you need to carry is the small bag that is the Cabin Cuddler.

The Cabin Cuddler would be great for use in many places. It would be great for those cold office buildings. It would also be great to keep in your car in the winter for emergencies. It would also be very handy to keep around when you have kids that tend to get cranking and need naps when you are away from home.
