A Video Every Animal Lover Should Watch
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I came across this very moving and disturbing video today, and encourage all of you who have a soft spot in your heart for pets to watch it. The video really highlights why we should support our local animal shelters by adopting pets rather than buying that cute puppy from a breeder. The amount of dogs euthanized every day in North America (and all over the world, no doubt) is unacceptable and at the very least we should all do our part by spaying and neutering our family pets.

For anyone wishing to build a website, such as this blog, the main step to get you going is finding a reliable webhosting company. Searching and picking the right host isn’t an easy task since there are dozens of hosting providers to choose from. These companies provide numerous types of hosting services and it can get quite confusing to make a decision between the various offers.
A website that should help you in pinpointing the best webhosting for your needs is webhostingrating.com. When you go to the home page, you will see a ‘top 10′ list of hosts for 2009, highlighting their reasonable prices, large server space as well as the generous traffic amounts they allow. In addition, the site offers useful hosting-related articles and tutorials. Important topics covered include: considerations for your e-commerce site, six reasons to rent a dedicated server, popular options for dynamic web pages, and many more.
If you are seeking further information on the top hosts, check out the webhosting awards section. The categories used to organize the list include the Best Blog Hosting, Best Windows Hosting, and others. To end your webhosting selection headache, take a look at the wehostingrating.com website and pick the right hosting provider for your needs.
Why I Am Frugal
I had a friend recently ask me why I go through the effort to make frugal choices. It just doesn’t seem worth it to her, as she believes that all the money saved can’t really add up to very much (boy is she wrong). Now, this same friend has a pile of credit card debt which, unfortunately, seems as though it will only continue to grow with her current habits, but she just doesn’t see the light. I am okay with us seeing money in different ways and don’t try to force my opinions on her, but I thought that I would make a post to explain just why I am frugal.
1. Saving money and budgeting means that I have enough in my account to pay all of our fixed expenses comfortably every month.
2. Having an emergency fund makes unexpected events (ie broken washing machines) less stressful than they would be otherwise. I know I have the money put aside to deal with such a situation.
3. Saving money on things that aren’t very important to me (brand name foods versus store brand) allows me to have the money available for the items and activities that are truly important to me (travelling to another city for our family reunion).
It’s really as simple as these three points. That’s why I’m frugal!
