How You Can Be So Easily Confused!

How can Google Plus be so confusing? I never really joined it, I mean I guess you kind of do if you have a Gmail account lol. I seemed to have joined it with two different emails. It's difficult when they make you use a certain email, for instance, I wanted to use a gmail to join Google Plus, but it wouldn't let me for some reason, I had to us an Aol.com email address. I just gave up, went ahead and signed up, so now I have two. I'll use one more for my blog stuff. The other can just sit there lol. I wanted to sign into my Youtube account as well, and I couldn't log in with just the username, it forced me to log in with an email account. Okay so I tried using the email that I had for that Youtube account, and again it wouldn't let me, so I had to use the Aol.com email address again. OH BOY!! I was getting frustrated. So now when I want to go into my Google Plus account, or YouTube, I'm just going to use that one email, actually I'm lying, I just remembered, I have to use my msn email to go into my Google Plus account, and my aol.com email to go into my YouTube! Do you see how confusing this is hahah. I'm sorry you are probably dizzy from trying to understand everything. I'm still trying to.

Ok I'll figure that out eventually!

Yesterday my niece graduated from school, to become a Pharmacy Technician, I am so happy for her, she really needed this boost in her life. I hope she does well, and has much success, as she had two little ones to take care of. I didn't know about the graduation, I'm way out here in MA, and they are in Calif, so there is some distance. I know you are going to say so why didn't they at least email you? Well honestly I don't have an answer for that, they don't, it's almost like I don't exist, yeah sure it's hurtful but you move on. I have them on my facebook and that is usually where I see all the happenings. I had a pang in my chest just now. I just had a flash of my mother, and felt the pang from the heart break of not having her. Okay moving along. Anyway like I mentioned, she just graduated and I am so very happy for her. Her kids are just adorable!

Well I think that will be it for me today, wow four blog posts in one day, what a treat for you all hehe. Have a great weekend!

Shop Local, Shop USA!

Go USA! America is trying to keep the jobs here, instead of overseas where people are being paid less than they deserve, but you know what? We deserve the jobs as well! The businesses start here, they should stay here. Aren't you sick and tired of seeing small mom and pop shops close, because of corporate american and their big businesses taking out the little ones. How many local shops in your area are shut down because they can't compete. It's rough! I know, and that is why we need to keep the jobs in America. There is at least one local business in every state closing because they just can't compete. It' just really sad to see this happening.

A week or two ago, we were watching the TV show Shark Tank on the ABC network. It was really interesting because we love to watch this show, to see people start with great ideas and build a thriving business. Well this one gentleman came on trying to get the sharks to partner up with him on his product. Well this particular person, didn't want to give into what they were offering, they were offering him cheap labor, in other words going out of the USA to make a lot of the product for a lot less. This guy stood up to Mr. Wonderful (one of the sharks), and told him NO! If the jobs cannot stay in the USA then I don't want the deal.

Now you can imagine, what an opportunity to pass up such an offer, well needless to say the inventor didn't take it, and said that if it meant him losing out on a great deal, to keep the jobs in American then that is what he will do, and walked away without a deal. Wow! This man was so passionate about his product, while talking to the sharks he almost cried, that really touched me how much it meant to him to really keep the jobs in America. Even at the risk of having to pay more for it being produced then if he went out of the USA.

So I agree with him and I don't at the same time. The way I see it is, start with inventory that is made out of the USA, once you have enough, bring it back to the USA, and continue producing here, it's a start I feel. Some may not agree with that, and regardless of how much it cost or doesn't cost, keep it in the USA! It can be debated both ways, I know we debated about it when we watched the show. If we keep the jobs in the USA, we can shop local, and keep the small businesses going strong.

Winning Free Stuff Rocks!

Who doesn't like free stuff?I think everyone loves free stuff, when it's handed to you no questions asked is even better, but not everyone is that lucky hey? But when it comes to sweepstakes, raffles, even the lottery, you can't help but try, because if you don't try, you will never know if you will win! Same goes for online giveaways, you aren't required to purchase anything but simply do a few things online related, like follow on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and various other social media websites. I personally will do them when I can, and if I remember to go back and continue doing them.

For instance since last year I would follow along with Zagg.com and do their Christmas iPad giveaway, they would give an iPad away everyday for the entire month of December. Currently they are also giving away a Kindle Fire a day as well, and yeah, you bet your lucky stars I'm doing it every day. The odds of winning, well not great great, but again, if you don't try you won't know, and I want to know :)

Sure there are a lot of people that don't have the time, or can afford their own, but there are also those out there that probably can afford it, but would still like to participate, not because they want the item for themselves, but perhaps for a child of theirs, or another family member or friend. I have a Samsung XOOM, I love it, I do. I wanted to win an iPad for my boyfriend, but it didn't work out for me, I also have a NOOK, got that last year for Christmas, or was it the year before? Heh, not sure, but sure I would like to win a Kindle Fire, why not? I can give it my boyfriends mother, she loves to read, and I'm sure she would love it!

I really don't know why I went on about this, I guess it's because I decided to enter in one. Yeah the lovely Katherine over at Katherine's Corner is having a giveaway, it's going to be ending soon, but thought I would mention it. If you are curious as to what she is giving away, I guess you will have to go and visit her, won't you? ;) One of the many requirements was to follow her on Google+, I didn't have an account, so of course I had to go make one, so if you are interested in following me on Google+ please follow this link gplus.to/missdavila, and I will return the favor, also there is Networked Blogs and Linky Followers on my sidebar that you can follow as well. Ever since they decided to close up the Google Friend Connect, people need other ways to connect, so there are some, hope to see you connect with me :)
