Have you ever eaten a “real” truffle? By that I mean the fungus? I never have – I’ve just eaten the candy “truffles.” I understand the the “real” truffles are more expensive than I could ever even think of eating! So I guess that’s one of those foods I’ll probably never get to try. Oh well…..

Pay Day Loans are in the news a lot
While my nephew has been visiting, we have been talking about how some of his friends have been looking for ways to get their hands on some cash to help them make ends meet while they are in college. Some of them have had credit problems in the past, largely because they are college students and it is hard to go to school and make ends meet. I told him that they might want to check out the completeloansource.com website and see if they might be able to help them. They offer a lot of different types of loans for almost any need, including High Risk Personal Loans for Bad Credit, auto loans, debt consolidation and Pay Day Loans. I’ve been hearing a lot of articles on the news about how many people are using pay day loans lately to help make ends meet.

Selling arts and crafts on Ebay
My sister was telling me that she was thinking about starting to sell some of her arts and crafts work on Ebay. Lots of her friends have been encouraging to try to do that, insisting that she could make a killing doing that. She has several friends that DO make a lot of money on Ebay, and they have told her that they will help her with the red-tape if she has any problems or questions. Their enthusiasm has got her all pumped up about making money selling her crafts.
Towards that end, she is going to need to buy a Shipping Scale to help her to determine the postal rates of items that she will be offering for sale. Scales are vital because she needs to know how much the item weighs (including the shipping box and stuffing) in order to calculate the shipping charges that she will have to quote on Ebay. She has already accumulated enough boxes to get her started as far as that end goes, and she has lots of old newspapers saved up for stuffing the boxes.
I suggested that she try to find one that is compact so that she can tuck it away into her cupboard when she doesn’t need to use it.

Planning weddings
I love to plan weddings. A wedding is a time of hope, romance, and excitement. Girls start planning their weddings almost from the moment they are born! I love looking at the different wedding favors and gifts that people can buy to give their guests or their bridesmaids and groomsmen. Personalized Money Clips are a great idea to give as gifts to the groomsmen!
