Teslas electric sports car

This cool car company called Tesla Motors has made a totally electric sports car that can go from 0 to 60 in less then 4 seconds and has a top speed of over 125 miles per hour.

On a fully charged battery the car can operate for about 3 and a half hours and runs on no fuel whatsoever, making it a zero emissions car.

its a really great looking car, and if you have solar panels installed at home it costs you nothing to recharge the battery, so you will never have to pay for gas or to charge the cars battery.

The price tag on this car is at $100,000 per car, but is well worth every penny in my opinion because of the looks and the features and the huge potential savings on fuel.

New Hobby for DH

For years we have been sharing one computer for the whole household. But with DH home so much now, we thought it would be good to get a second PC.

DH announced today that he has decided to try his hand at building our new computer from a kit that he bought online from a website specializing in PC Kits. DH has always been handy with tools, so I am impressed that he is going to try his hand at building our computer.

Underwear Issues

One thing I can say about mens underwear is that it is pretty darned easy to order them online. I don’t know about you but when I need new underwear I have to go out shopping and look through endless piles and racks of under garments and then try all the ones that I have found on. What a pain that is considering that you have to (and really need to) keep your own underwear on underneath the new ones, for sanitary reasons of course. It is so hard to get the real feel of things that way, if you know what I mean.

I have been buying my son’s and my husbands underwear for as long as I remember and now I have been purchasing them online which has been a time and money saver, both of which are awesome. I can usually find good deals and free shipping is always a must when ordering anything online, if not those shipping and handling charges can really rack up the final total bill and we can’t be having that these days.

Tea

Tea is one of my favorite beverages.  I love to drink a cup of tea in the morning when I first get up.  My youngest son also enjoys tea when he first gets up.  I learned to love tea when I was a little girl.  My parents drank tea in the morning, the basic black pekoe tea with sugar and milk.  It was a great treat to be allowed to have a sip of it in the morning!

This Change IS NOT Good at Wells Fargo

Last month my bank changed over to being a Wells Fargo bank, which I’m not too happy about, but not much I can do about it right now. What is a real bummer is that all the employees that I had gotten to know, relied on and looked forward to seeing when I came are no longer there, which really bites.

Today I had go inside because the teller at the drive in window was giving me a hassle about a check that I wanted to cash, which was never an issue before Wells Fargo came into the picture. I was surprised to see that this very small home town branch now had these stanchions with the nice and plush looking velvet rope (which I’m sure customers such as myself helped pay for) placed in front of the tellers for their “crowd control” issues. What crowd is what I want to know? What a joke.

Next thing I expect to see is some of barricades put into place for the employees that are conducting business behind the desks and in their high and mighty offices that now look very uninviting to the eye, sigh . .
