Remember when medical id jewelry was plain and didn’t go with anything you wear? Now you can get some that are a little more stylish. You can even get one that doubles as a watch.

If you have a medical condition that could render you unable to tell someone what is wrong with you in an emergency a medical id is a very good thing to have. You just have the specifics of you medical condition engraved on the jewelry. That way if you are unconscious medical personnel can get you the help you need as soon as possible.

Now that it’s summer I thought I’d post tips on caring for your new sexy swimwear.

1. Before First Use Only: Soak swimwear in a mixture of vinegar and water for approx. 30 minutes. (1 tablespoon per 1 quart of water). This will slow down fading and keep bright colors vibrant longer.

2. Before going into the pool, shower swimsuit and soak with clear water. This will help suit absorb less chlorine.

3. Rinse your swimsuit in cool water immediately after swimming in chlorinated water or salt water.

4. Never.. ever wash your swimsuit in the washer. Always wash it by hand and use a swimsuit cleaner. The washing machine can breakdown the lycra and ruin the bra cups that are sewn into a lot of swimsuits.

5. Never put your swimsuit in the dryer or in the sun. Always hang it to dry inside. The sun will speed up fading and both the dryer and sun will cause the breakdown of the elastic in your swimwear.

How do you pay your bills? Do you do it the old fashioned way and write a check, make out an envelope, buy stamps, put a stamp on the envelope then drive to a mailbox to mail your checks out? That seems like an awful lot of steps.. doesn’t it? I hate paying the old fashioned way. I either pay with my debit/check card or I use my banks fee online bill pay. It saves time, money, and trips to the post office.

When you buy online, just like I did a few minutes ago, some places offer a way to pay cash using eBillme. The steps to accomplish this are very simple. You go to your banks online bill pay and add eBillme to your list of payees. After you use the checkout you go and bring up eBillme at your online bill pay, key in the amount you just spent and bingo.. you’ve paid for your purchase.

I just bought a wireless optical mouse online using eBillme and let me tell you it was so quick and so easy to do. I will definitely pay using that method again. No wasted paper, no wasted time and most importantly, with the price of fuel, no wasted gas!
