The Best Is On CBS

Posted on by

Guest post by Homer Nielsen

One of the best things about being a football fan is having four networks to watch football during the week. Besides the Sunday afternoon games on FOX and CBS, you also get a Sunday night game on NBC and a Monday night game on ESPN. In addition, if you watch sports on TVByDirect you can also get a fifth network to watch football: the NFL Network that shows games on Thursday night in the second half of the season. To me, though, there is one network who’s NFL coverage stands out above the others: CBS. While NBC and FOX tries to act cool, and ESPN can be a little bit self important at times, CBS stands out above the rest because of one main reason: they actually treat the football game like, well, a football game.

What do I mean by that? Well, CBS doesn’t have any “explosive” graphics, or cool, hip studio analysts, they just have the best announcers and the best game producers in the game. If you are interested in actually seeing a game with people who actually know what they are talking about, then CBS is your best and, sometimes, only choice. The NFL Network isn’t too bad either, except most people in the United States don’t even get the network on cable or satellite providers.

Philippines’s new currency

Posted on by

These are the new look of the currency in the Philippines. These were already released in the local banks of the Philippines. It’ll be distributed to everybody in no time. They said that the old currency will no longer be allowed 3 years from now. So, if you still have the old currency its either you will keep them for keepsake or spend them before it becomes invalid. I want to see this money in person.

I don’t see the former president (Mrs. Gloria M. Arroyo) in the 200 peso bill anymore. It will be so interesting to see the new president (Mr. Noynoy Aquino) to be included in the 500 peso bill. Is that possible? How cool it can be to see parents and son are together in the 500 peso bill? It will probably be a history in the entire currencies of the world.

Waiting for the insurance packet

Posted on by

My husband is affiliated with Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurance in nc. Apparently, each year the company where my husband work’s for are signing a new contract and it involves changing their healthcare insurance company. We are still waiting for the insurance packet that my husband is supposed to receive any time of these days. Hopefully they will give the cheapest plan that way my husband can add me in his new healthcare insurance plan. We actually signed up for the Baja plan which means we have to go across the boarder to Mexico for our medical check ups but we doubted that idea and so we cancelled it.

I want a surprise from him!

Posted on by

Normally, if I want some material things from my husband I usually write it in my blog because I know sometimes my husband read some of my posts. Just like for instance, before our wedding anniversary I wrote an article about the kind of gifts that I wanted to receive and I didn’t say anything about it personally to my husband. A day after our wedding anniversary a delivery man came knocking on our door and he handed me a package. I didn’t know what it was until I opened the box. I was totally surprised because my husband was a good accomplice. It’s been awhile that my husband hasn’t given me a bouquet of flowers and I would love to receive some beautiful flowers from him.

If you happen to read this post honey and you thought about surprising me with some nice flower, I would suggest you to use the radio codes at ProFlowers so you can save good money. They have beautiful flower arrangement and great discounts. Well, if my husband missed reading this article its OK I don’t mind at all.

Oblivion

Posted on by

What is wrong with you lately? My husband came home the other night unaware that he has a utility knife in his pocket. I was going through his work uniform and was about to put them in the washer when all of a sudden I felt something in his pocket, and it was a utility knife. I asked him if it was his and the first thing that came out in his mouth was “Geezzz”, I knew right then that he forgot to turn it over to their shop personnel. He wasn’t aware that he took it home with him. Good thing that his butt didn’t get poked by it. My husband lately is becoming oblivion; I think he needs to relax his brain and get some more sleep. Working overtime is really stressing him out. He works from 2pm to 2am and that’s probably why he’s forgetting little things lately.

Summer getaway!

Posted on by
Do you agree with me that it’s never too early to think about summer vacation? Time of these days goes by so quickly, we might be too busy with the winter time but then we realize that summer is just around the corner. And that’s why I am already reading about some places where we can have a lot of fun. A place where I never been to yet and a place that will be my most memorable one.

I am actually reading an interesting article about the costa rica vacations and ecotourism. It seems like the costa rica vacations has a lot of great things to offer. They have these incredible adventures like the Rainforest Wonders & Aerial Tram and X-Treme Adventure Zip Line Tour. They also have crocodile safari expedition where tourist can learn about trees, crops, harvesting, production, packing and exportation of many different species such as: Cashews, Mangos, Watermelon, Cantaloupes, Star Apple, Star Fruit, Passion Fruit and a lot more. Don’t they sound so interesting? Do they? This is exactly what I’m talking about. If we go to this kind of vacation, we will not only enjoy the scenery but we will also learn a lot of new things. This is so exciting and truly a memorable experience!

Sandiegans are on Flash flood watch

Posted on by

Big storm struck San Diego and so the Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California declared that we are on the state of calamity. Some areas here in San Diego were flooded and out of electricity. I was watching the local news this morning and they were showing the Mission Valley and Fashion Valley were flooded and many people were trapped because they can’t leave their home and they were starving. Rescue team has to step in and helped them with their basic necessities. Old folks were sheltered to safe facilities and some were taken to the medical facilities because of their health condition. It was terrible. I’m glad that we’re far from the flooded area and we’re in safe land. Even the qualcom stadium was flooded too.

Macy’s coupons

Posted on by

My husband is looking for a pair of steal toe work boots because his old ones were already tearing apart. I feel bad that he has to wear those ugly looking boots for work. I told him to purchase new one but he is so hesitant. He would rather buy a helicopter toy than shoes. I think I have to purchase it for him because he is not doing anything to replace his old work boots. I activated my Macy’s coupons that will give me 25 % off when I proceeded to check out my order. I showed him this shoe (photo at the left hand side) and he said it’s nice. I know he likes it because I like it myself too. He deserves to have new pair of work shoes because he is the one that brings home the bacon. And besides he bought a lot of goodies for me and our kids recently and now it’s time to treat my husband with this nice pair of quality shoes. Even though this pair of shoes is expensive but I know its worth paying for because it will definitely last a long period of time compared to the less expensive shoes that he had that lasted only a few months. I think we bought two pair of steal toe work boots this year and both didn’t last because they’re low quality of shoes.

Be shipped on Friday

Posted on by

The ALAS cargo employee came by this morning to pick up these boxes (1 jumbo and 1 regular box), I paid $155 for both. He actually came to our apartment before we arrived home from my bible study and we asked him if he can wait for 15 minutes, which he did. I gave him $5 tip so he won’t feel awful. He was cool and gentle. I told him that I have some liquid inside the box but I made sure that they were all secured and sealed with some packing tapes. I had to do it so it won’t leak and cause any damages to my other stuff inside the box. I asked him when they will ship it and he told me on Friday and it will get to its destination within 45 days or less.

I love ALAS cargo because they always give free boxes in replacement to the boxes that you sent to your love one. Since I sent 1 jumbo and 1 regular, they gave me 1 jumbo and 1 regular box for ree. Cool! Now the waiting game has started….
