That Blozzz

I am always looking to save money when purchasing my domain names. So I was excited to be asked to do a review on a site offering coupon codes for GoDaddy. This was a nice opportunity to offer an honest review for this type of site.

Upon looking at the site GoDaddy Coupon Codes , my first impression was that it was quite plain and the design was OK but nothing eye catching.  However, since this was a Sponsored Post, I decided to look deeper into the site. I was happy to discover that they had a lot to offer.

Just the coupon codes themselves were worth the visit. I have never seen so many Godaddy discounts located in one place. They listed both tested and non tested coupon codes along with many special deals that GoDaddy is currently running.

If the coupon listing alone were not enough, they also have many articles with advice about domain names. One article that jumped out at me was the Top 137 Domain Tips. This was a well written list of tips to use when purchasing domain names. Many of these tips I have not heard of and I was very impressed with the many tips.

This website offers a lot of information, but was clearly made as a promotion site for GoDaddy. Looking over the site, I noticed some things that annoy me. For example, when they created the site with a WordPress base, they failed to remove the first post that states this is an example of a WordPress blog. Some of their first links are simply links and nothing else. I would also recommend a nicer theme for the site.

On the positive side, even though the site is clearly made for promotion of GoDaddy, they do offer some nice articles that give great advice. They keep you up to date on all the latest promotions and discount offerings for GoDaddy. Of the promotional type sites that I have seen, this rates high for the integration of good articles along with promotional material. They do not overdo the ads to the point that they become an intrusion into the readers experience.

If you use GoDaddy or are looking to purchase domain names, I would recommend this site to find some great advice and coupon deals.

My wife and I dine out a lot. We just get so busy that we do not always have time to cook. We try to eat cheap and so we spend a lot of time at our local diner. We eat there a lot and I am getting disgusted with the service. It seems to be a trend in the food service industry.

I can not stand having to wait forever to be waited on and then the waitress/waiter never comes back. I do not think I am over demanding and I always tip well. Is it too much to ask to have my drink refilled and to have my food done properly? I do not expect miracles but I do think good customer service and making sure your customer is satisfied goes hand in hand with running a diner or restaurant.

I  always tend to comment that this would be a great place to open a diner. I would love to think maybe it is just the area I live in. However, I have lived in three different states and I have visited many more and it seems to be a national trend to give bad service.

I feel bad not tipping but I am getting so annoyed that I might just quit tipping when I am not satisfied 100%.

Anybody else feel this way?

I went to the local natural health food store a few weeks ago because I was getting sick. I was on the hunt for a good product to help fight off my coming cold. I had a sore throat real bad and that is always a sign that my cold is a day behind. I use to use a mushroom based product called Host Defense and it works great and keeps your immune system up to fight off illnesses. The problem is that it cost $35 for a month supply so I needed something less expensive.

I approached the herbal expert at the store, who had recommend Host Defense, and explained that I needed something less expensive. She claimed that oil of oregano cured her strep throat in two days. She really knows her stuff so I decided to give it a try. It cost me $22 for a one ounce bottle but you only need four drops at a time so it will last a long time. I took one dose at the store and one before bed and when I woke up, I did not have a bad cold and the sore throat was almost gone.

I have used Oil of Oregano whenever I was feeling like I was getting sick and so far, it has done the trick. I did some reading up on Oil of Oregano and it seems that there are many claims about its use as an antibiotic, an aid in digestion, and building up the immune system.

It is simple to use and you can either put 4-5 drops directly on your tongue and wash it down with warm water or you can mix it with warm water. Do not mix it with cold water because the oil will not mix well. Be warned, it has a spicy taste and has a slight burn going down. I do not mind the taste but my wife hates it. However, it seems to work and I normally get a few colds in the winter but Oil of Oregano seems to have kept them at bay. I also recently spent a lot of time with my niece nephews who all had strep throat and I just took a few doses of Oil of Oregano and I did not catch it.

I hate doctors offices and I think they way over prescribe pills. Whenever I can, I use herbal or other alternative medicines. I think if it does even a small fraction of what the claims are it is well worth the price I paid. I am convinced and I am curious what others think.

Has anyone else used oil of oregano? What is your opinion?

I have to say life in an old farmhouse is never boring. There are so many openings in the foundation that you never know what creatures you may see. Our area is very rural so we expect a lot of things. We have mice, spiders, and an occasionally bat. This can be expected in any old farm house in the country but two days ago, I got the shock of my life.

I was coming into the dining room and seen these two long black things running around. They were mink. I tried to get the dog after them but he is old and they are quick. We watched one go outside and climb a tree and catch a squirrel and drag it under the porch. I was not a happy camper.

I spent some time looking up what the creatures were and it was confirmed that they were minks. I read as much as I could find and it seems the only way to get rid of them was using a live trap or shooting them. I decided to wait and see if I see them again then I would decide how to handle them. It seems that mink sleep during the night and roam during the day but my wife wanted me to keep the downstairs light on all night anyway.

After that first day, I did not see any tracks in the snow or any signs of them in the house.  I am hoping that my screaming at the dog to get them and the dog chasing them has scared them away. All information I have read says they are travelers and do not often stay in one place long. I hope our house was a one day adventure for them and they never come back. I do not mind any creature unless it decides to become a house guest, than they are fair game for the old 22. Oh well, I just said That Blozzz and can hope not to see them again.

Have any of you had some weird stuff in your house? Please share you experience by leaving a comment.

Recently we have seen Barack Obama sweeping through many states during the primaries. However, is this a trend that the nation as a whole will follow in November. I seriously think not.

First let’s look at the matter of race. He is the first black man or woman to have a serious shot at the presidential race. He is charismatic and I guess attractive to the female population. However, this is OK when you are referring to the Democratic Party. We must still face the fact that the majority of Republicans are controlled by white well off men. I do not believe Obama has the ability to attract these votes.

Of course, he is also very young and inexperienced when it comes to the Federal Government. This will also be less attractive to Republicans. His campaign pushes the issue of inexperience as a positive thing. They claim that it will not be politics as usual. Inexperience works when  you are talking a Congressman or even a Senator, however, you are talking about the most powerful leader in the world. I for one do not want on the job training for a position of this importance.

For the first time in the history of the Unites States, we have a black man facing a woman for the nomination of a major political party for president. It is an amazing moment in history. However, I wonder if all Obama votes are against Hillary Clinton instead of for him. I heard people talking the other day and a statement came out, “better a black man than a woman.”  Could this be a sentiment that is carried throughout the nation?

I for one could care if the person is black, white, Asian, woman, man, or whatever. I am looking for someone with experience who can go in and get the job done. We are facing, in McCain, a continuation of George Bush’s policies. We need a Democrat who can beat him in November and in my opinion, Obama is not that person. He is too inexperienced and I do not see him uniting America or regaining the respect of the world.

What is your opinion?

There are many Christians and other people who swear by the Bible. The claim is that it is the word of God. Many other religions disagree that it is the word of God. So who is correct.

It was Constantine the Roman Emperor who commissioned the construction of what people now view as the Holy Bible. His committee  went through many books that were belieevd to be the word of God and weeded out the ones they did not think belonged. This was not the first intervention of man but the largest in tern of how the Bible is currently seen.

Reading through both the old and new testaments, you see many stories of glory, romance, Gothic tales, and heroism. There are wonderful stories on how the world started with Adam and Eve, the story of the great King David, and the saving of the animals by Noah during the great flood. The new testament finds the parables of Jesus and how he arose from the dead after dying on the cross for the sins of the world. These are all interesting stories and give an insight into living a morale life.

However, in my opinion, they are just that, stories. Did the men who wrote the books think they were inspired by God?  Most likely a majority of them did but it still does not mean it was. The contradictions in the old and new testaments leads one to wonder of they were the same God.

In the old testament, you see a vengeful God who talks of an eye for eye and tooth for a tooth. He not only allows mass killings but encourages characters like David to carry them out. Then he allows a Job a man in his prime to stricken with heartache and sickness just as a test to see if he will forsaken God. The God of the old testament believes in punishment  of both women being subordinate to men and all humans subordinate to him. Does not sound like a friendly loving God does it? Sounds like control issues.

On the contrary, the new testament shows a loving forgiving God who not all loves people so much, he sends his son to die for all of their sins. Jesus, son and God, shows how loving he is by interfering with a stoning of a whore and speaking of not judging others unless you are without sin. A lesson many so called Christians could learn from. There are many lessons of God’s love. Is it just that he changed his outlook?

Religion is faith and only faith, with no proof of reality. So to answer the fact or fiction questions, the Bible is fact if you want to put blind faith in it. For me, I look at the stories at both interesting and having many morale lessons. Beyond the possibility of the stories are scientifically impossible and more fiction than fact.

From Moses parting the Red Sea to Noah repopulating the world from just his family to the rising from the dead of both Lazarus and Jesus all make interesting stories. However, there are many similar stories from many other religions. They are called folk tales or legends.

In my final opinion, the Bible is no more real or less real than any other religion. It is purely a leap of faith. You can believe in anything if you have faith. For me, I prefer to see real proof not a book that tells me that it is real.
