September is here! This weekend is the Labor Day holiday weekend, which means the end of summer to a lot of people. But to me, it means off season rates and big savings at http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/
This is the best time of year to book golf packages Myrtle Beach and get away for a long weekend of swimming and golf in my favorite family beach destination on the the East Coast.
September and October are both great months to go to the beach. The weather is still warm during the day and the water temperature of the Atlantic is still warm enough for swimming.
I used to see peacocks when we went to Florida on vacation. They are all over Florida, in the wild and in nature parks. I have never seen an all white peacock yet. I think it is a beautiful bird and would love to see one.
I’ve always loved watching dramas and reality television because of how exciting they are. There is an adrenaline rush when someone gets voted out of American Idol. Since Ellen Degeneres became a judge on Americal Idol, I decided to check out her talk show on satellite TV packages in California I got.
Let me tell you, I have never been interested in any talk show before. Like I said, I was only checking it out because of my love for American Idol. Ellen’s show is a classic! She always has a smile on her face and she is ready to make the audience laugh with her wit and dance moves.
It seems like all of her guests are really interesting people. Sometimes the AI contestants that have been voted off even come onto the show. Those are some of my favorite episodes. It’s kind of funny that The Ellen Degeneres show is now one of my favorite shows of all time. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Now that I watch her talk show, I sometimes tune in to other talk shows to see if they are as exciting and inviting. I still haven’t found one that I consider on par to her show, but there are some that are decent enough.
Always be on the lookout for newer shows that you might not think are interesting. Some can be really great!

I love being spontaneous. I do try and plan things out but sometimes things just happen and I have learned to roll with them as best as possible. I don’t mind getting a last minute call from someone and running out the door in order to get somewhere in the shortest time possible. I did grow up here so I know all of the roads like the back of my hand and I’m sure that I know each and every shortcut that is possible around my hometown and the cities that surround it as well, so I can get places pretty darn quick if needed.
I love going to sporting events, even though I’m not really active in very many. I do however enjoy playing a game of golf every now and then. My folks brought us up playing golf and I’m grateful for that. It is a nice easy going game that just about anyone can play and they have golf courses and tee times just about everywhere.
My folks just got back from their annual Myrtle Beach vacation last week. They wanted me to come but I couldn’t really take the time off of work and I all ready have a long weekend planned for the last part of September. My mom was telling me last night that they had a good time, the weather was a bit wacky but all in all it was a success. My dad found a website at www.48hourteetimes.com that they had to utilized during their stay in Myrtle Beach. They are a full service hospitality group that helps people with their accommodations and their 48 hour tee times. Since so many people are flocking to Myrtle Beach S.C. this year due to BP ruining so many of the other beaches on the east coast a lot of the hotels and golf courses have been slammed with customers that need some help finding their way around and finding what is available and for who.
I’m glad that my folks are computer literate. Many people their age are a bit timid when it comes to maneuvering around on the Internet, but they have mastered it quite well and use it to their best advantage when possible. And I’m glad that they are spontaneous, that must be where I got it from, a double dose of it, to be sure.
I saw Mike Posner perform this awesome song the other night on the TV. I can’t remember what show it was, probably The Tonight Show. The next day I heard the song on the radio and was really digging it. As soon as I could I went online and went to YouTube.com to find the song and Bingo, had it done in less than a minute.
Boy what I would give to be able to take off and go on a road trip and stay in one of the nicer resorts in Myrtle Beach that Myrtle Beach has to offer. I hear that Myrtle Beach is rocking this summer. Since the oil company BP has let so many beaches be destroyed by their oil leak that people are flocking to Myrtle Beach South Carolina, where the beaches are clean and welcoming.
I’ve checked out the website of http://avistaresort.com and I have to say that I would highly consider staying at their first class Myrtle Beach hotel. They have good golf packages to offer and the good lord knows I love playing a good round of golf. And to play golf near the beach would just be awesome. My parents got me started playing golf at the local Putt Putt, when Putt Putt was still in business. And then we started playing real games and the big people’s golf courses and I was hooked forever.
Maybe by next summer I’ll have accumulated enough vacation time and I can save up a few bucks and check out Myrtle Beach for myself. That’s something to work on.
To say that my aunt likes the movie “Wizard of Oz” would be a gross understatement. She’s actually obsessed and will do anything to buy items in any way related to the movie.
That makes it the easiest, yet the hardest task to buy presents for her birthday, which just happens to be soon. She has almost every kind of memorabilia that exists and that’s what people know to buy her for gifts. Some of her collections include all kinds of figurines, snow globes, afghans and T-shirts. Most of it is in the living room and it’s crazy to see how she’s positioned all of it in there perfectly. It almost makes you afraid to sit down or touch anything.
So after I got my new satellite internet packages I decided to just do my entire gift hunt online instead of going to the mall like I have in the past. I found a set of coasters and I knew she didn’t have movie-themed coasters so I bought them on wildblue internet and had them shipped to my house.
I was looking at funny commercials on YouTube and found this funny ice cream commercial. I like ice cream, too, but I don’t think I like it quite this much!
I can remember back in the 1980′s when disco was all the rage. Many of the nightclubs that used to have live bands converted to using disc jockeys. That was a very sad time for my family, because most of the men in my family had music jobs as a second income. From what I understand, our family has been in the music industry since the 1800′s! So I was pleased when my kids expressed an interest in taking band in school. I did find it discouraging, however, at how expensive it was (and still is) to buy musical instruments for the students to use. We spent a lot of money on instruments that are no longer being used, and have very little re-sale value. Most disturbing.
I recently located a cousin of mine that lives only a couple of hours away from where we live. He used to play in my father’s band back in the ’70s and 80′s. I found out that he is stll playing in a band, and his sons play too. I was glad to know that the music is still alive in our family, and if I ever need to find musicians for a party, I know who to call! It’s in the blood, and we are keeping the music alive!
I love the Geico website because it allows me to do everything I need to do online. There are times when I need to pay my bill a day or two late and all I have to do is use my wireless internet bundle to get online and push back my automatic payment. I don’t think I’ve ever called the customer service number because the website is set up so well.
I am able to change my policy and what state I am in instantly. I review my new policy online and have paper billing so all I have to do is print what I need and save paper where necessary. One of the best parts of having my insurance with Geico is being able to choose which payment plan and insurance needs I have at any time.
Last month, I switched my payments to quarterly instead of monthly because it was a more convenient way for my family to pay. I actually saved money because I was making a bigger lump sum payment. Usually they charge a small fee if monthly payments are made, so I was able to eliminate this amount.
My bills are almost all online, which makes it easy to get everything paid on time and when ever I am able to. I usually pay them after all of my kids go to bed and it is quiet. I wouldn’t have this luxury if I had to make phone calls or mail payments.
There are many shows that my family likes to watch but one that we never miss and actually make a family event of is the Food Network’s Chopped. This is one of the most creative and challenging shows to come onto direct TV in a very long time. What, aside from the challenge of the competitions, is so unique about this show?
For my family the biggest draw of this show is the challenge of trying to come up with something uniquely delicious that will satisfy the panel of three expert culinary judges. The catch to the challenge is the mystery basket of ingredients that each chef is given. The mystery basket doesn’t contain your ordinary, run of the mill ingredients, it contains unusual items such as ostrich eggs and kiwis. The chefs have 30 minutes to come up with three courses with the ingredients off the top of their heads, and to make them delicious to the judges.
The shows name is derived from the show’s theme that after each course the contestant who didn’t quite measure up in the opinions of the judges is eliminated or “Chopped”, from the competition. One aspect that entertains my family so thorougly is that we like to try and come up with dishes from the basket of unusual ingredients as well as trying to predict the winner.
My mother was telling me that she heard on the radio or read on the Internet that the famous Beatle Ringo just recently celebrated his 70th birthday. She was surprised to find that he was as old as that and it made her feel like an old lady, bless her heart. The good news was that the other still living Beatle Paul made a surprise cameo appearance which I’m sure was an awesome site to witness. I wish my mother could have attended that concert, she really would have enjoyed that being as she is still an avid Beatles fan and listens to their music still quite often.
One of my favorite commercials is where the E-Trade baby talks about the ease of trading stocks online, and then throws up all over himself when he‘s done. This really caught me by surprise, even more so than the baby talking like an adult. I laughed for quite some time after watching the baby vomit on himself, it was just a great shock thriller.
I remember watching the commercial quite well actually. I was enjoying a night in and was watching my Direct.TV satellite TV with my girlfriend when the commercial came on. We were first blown away when the baby opened his little mouth and had sounded like an adult. This was really great entertainment. We really began to lose it when he started talking about trading stocks online. And when the baby clicked the computer mouse and said he just traded stocks, we both calmly laughed a little bit. We both loved the baby so much. And then the unthinkable happened, the baby puked. I thought this was really funny, but my girlfriend was kind of grossed out. I don’t think she laughed too much after that, and I don’t really think she likes the commercial anymore. The puke scene really made the commercial entertaining and enjoyable. I look forward to the next E-trade commercial. I can’t wait!
The CEO of my company recently purchased direct tv for business and it has been a huge hit in the office. One of my friend’s and I favorite shows to watch is The Daily Show. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has been a much loved comedy show loosely based on current events and news stories. As I was watching The Daily Show during my lunch break, I wondered how many people actually watch this show as their main source of news. While the show claims to be ‘fake news’ it actually has some real substance to it. Many of the clips played are from actual news organizations, often taken out of contest, and commented on by Jon Stewart. I frequently have discussions with my fellow employees about the show and the discussions we have are very interesting. The use of props and other footage also plays a role in this programs appeal.
While this show often takes a democratic view on political news, it points to no side in particular. The main objective of the show is to point and laugh at the world we live in. The Daily Show has grown a large following over the years and has even spawned a spin-off show. The Colbert Report was a segment on The Daily Show for a while and has now become its own independent show.
Many comedy news programs are now cropping up. While The Daily Show is still at the front line of TV ratings we have to wonder where our news is actually coming form. For many Americans these types of shows provide an outlet for the need to have some kind of news without the foreboding feeling that comes with watching the news on a full time news network station. Who wouldn’t prefer to watch a comedy show and laugh while learning about current events then watch a real news program and be filled with dread? I suppose that is why these TV shows are so popular.
I don’t know why I’m always surprised when I hear someone tell me that they are going on vacation in Myrtle beach to play golf. I guess it’s because when I was younger, I always just associated beaches with boardwalks and sand and water. I’m embarrassed to admit that I was in my late forties before I even found out that there were specialized resorts for golf in Myrtle Beach.
I can remember the conversation – it was with Russ, a former co-worker. He told me that he and his wife always booked golf packages in Myrtle Beach for the entire month of February! Now that is some serious golfing! I thought that there was only one or two courses there, and I thought that he was just a little bit crazy to be planning to spend the month there! It wasn’t until several years later that I found out that there are so many golf courses in Myrtle Beach that you could play a different course every day for months!
I haven’t seen Russ in several years now – he retired and faded into the night. But I found myself thinking of him and his wife when I was looking at the http://www.ttimesonly.com/ website, and wondering which resorts he and his wife liked the best.
My family and I decided to go to a local family restaurant for dinner last night. We decided to visit Cracker Barrel because we all enjoy their food. We left the house around 7:00 p.m., but since I’d just read a book about Home safety tips, I had to return from the car to set the home security alarm, we actually left a few minutes later. The restaurant is about 20 minutes from my home.
Once we arrived there was a slight wait of about half an hour. Once we were seated we were unable to get a booth like we had hoped, but were fins at the table. The kids played with the fun little games as I ordered our food. I went with the pork chops with 2 vegetables. I chose macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. They are the best at Cracker Barrel! Each of my sons ordered cheeseburger and fry kids meals with Sprites to drink. Even though they ordered burgers, we all enjoyed the biscuits and cornbread the waitress brought with our drinks.
Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. And, as she was suppose to do, offered dessert at the end of our meal. Our glasses were never empty and she had a bright, warm smile that made us feel welcome. The food was delicious as always, but I should learn to save room for the dessert!
Our evening at Cracker Barrel was great. Good food and good service goes a long way in my book! We can’t wait till our next visit!
