Quick Ways to Beat the Heat

 I have found that the summer heat can put a huge damper on my AC bill and my AC doesn’t seem to want to shut off since it can’t keep up with this boiling heat that we are having this summer.

I have become accustomed to the heat and wear very few clothing when I am inside of my home so that I can keep the air turned up so that it doesn’t run constantly.

The less Clothes the More Comfortable:

I wear short shorts and wife beater type shirts. I found a kiddie pool at a yard sale and filled it up for the kiddos and let them loose so that they could keep cool as well.

Cooking all at Once to Beat the Heat:

I have found that cooking dinners all at once and then refrigerating them really helps so that I am not making it even hotter by cooking each night and who really needs hot meals anyways, a sandwich for lunch is always a good idea especially when you have a huge family like mine.

If you choose to do this, set aside one day a week to do it and cook early in the morning so that your house doesn’t get too hot.

Cook Out Instead of In:

If you are able to, grill as much as possible. Grilling is a great way to keep the heat out of your home and it will also lower some of your other bills. Besides, don’t you just love the taste of grilled food. We usually grill enough to have for lunch the next day so that we kill two birds with one stone.

Speaking of which, I have to get my toosh moving so that I can get my list of what I’m going to be cooking for the week.

What are some ideas that you use to keep your Air conditioner bill down?

The Difference Between Writing a Blog Post and an Article

 I recently got asked if I would allow an individual to  write an article  for my blog. I assume that what they meant was, could they write a blog post. I also assume that this individual did not know the difference between a blog post and an article. Conversational Language of a Blog Post Conversational language on a blog post is more like you are talking to a close friend. It is like you are having a conversation with an individual that you have known for years. Blog post do not have to be formal at all. Blog post are supposed to invite the readers in and create conversation. Blog post also tend to have the writer’s opinion more than an article does. This does not mean that a blog post is not based on facts. Blog post are editorial pieces at best. Conversational Language of an Article Articles are meant to be informative, leaving false information completely out, and the opinion of the writer at a minimal. Articles are normally formal and more objective. Most articles d...

Earning with Bubblews

I have heard a lot of bad things about  Bubblews . I use to  love to write  for them and I still do every now and again. One review that I had seen was from a dear friend who had gotten kicked off of their site for unknown reasons, another review was from another friend who said that the pay system was really messed up but she still got paid, it just took longer than they state. Well, I have been writing for them for a while now. I don’t write there frequently though. You are allowed to post ten articles or post a day. I don’t take full advantage of this though; I am lucky if I post one a week. Anyways, this is my current pay scale that I have. I need to reach $50 before I can withdraw this into my PayPal account and right now I am at $46. I will keep you updated on my progress with them. Please let me know how your experience has been so far.
