IS YOUR STATE HAVING A HOLIDAY?
Back-to-school time is here. That means school supplies, clothes and tech gear. The costs can quickly strain already tight budgets.
Fortunately, you may be able to get a little help. Many states have tax holidays. You may be able to avoid tax on certain back-to-school items. This is great news for many families. But act quickly. Many states are holding their tax holidays this weekend. Click here to see if your state is included.
FORWARD ALERT: We all like to save money. So, forward this newsletter to your family and friends! They’ll appreciate your help!
DON’T MISS YOUR FAVORITE OLYMPIC EVENTS
The Olympics kick off in less than a week. Event scheduling is heavy, so it may be difficult to catch your favorites. You could schedule your DVR to record portions of the Olympics.
Or, you could simply hit the ‘Net. NBC is providing free, on-demand access to videos of more than 20 sports!
To watch the videos, you’ll need to install NBC Olympics On The Go. This will let you subscribe to your favorite events. You’ll receive new videos automatically.
Unfortunately, there are limitations. The software only runs on Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate. And there is a 12-hour delay.
I have a link to the software on my site.
BACK FROM COSTA RICA
I always wanted to go to Costa Rica. Fortunately, I was able to a few weeks ago. We had an amazing time. We visited a few rainforests. We saw countless animals in their natural surroundings. We hiked, hiked, and then hiked some more.
I also got too close for comfort to a crocodile. I posted some pictures in my scrapbook. Click here to check them out. |
