Free mobile videos

My daughter has been able to get free mobile videos on her phone for a while now and I think it is time for the old man to catch up to the rest of the world. She uses mSnack.com to get her free video messages sent to her phone via SMS and MMS. She has so many channels to choose from, everything from Sports Reports to Relationship Tips.

mSnack.com will cancel the service if you text “STOP” to 76225. The great service is free to use, but some phone services charge a standard text messaging rate. I love it and will be using it myself soon.

IPOD

For my birthday I received a new ipod and I love it. I have always wanted one of these sleek little music players and now I have one to call my very own. I had an MP3 player and I liked it fine, but it had limits that the IPOD does not. I had trouble loading up music on the MP3 player and I have not had any problem with the IPOD device. It seems to me that the MP# player is great for some people and I am just one of the people who like the Ipod better. When you compare prices the difference is very close and I think if you shop around you can find the two electronic devices at about the same price. I found the best prices at SaveBuckets.com and WE were able to find the Ipod that I really wanted at the Save Buckets web site. I still use my MP3 player and will as long as it works, I take it on airplanes with me the battery lasts a bit longer than the Ipod and that makes it better for travel where no outlet would be available for a period of time to recharge the Ipod.

Security

The neighborhood that we live in has gotten so bad that we have bought and placed a security camera to watch our driveway. I never thought it would get to that in this nice quiet neighborhood, but as more people move to the suburbs from the inner city the crime follows them. Both of our cars have been broken into and things have begun to disappear from the back of our house. I yearn for the days when you did not have to lock your house and your property was safe.

Golf bug

Having caught the golf bug in high school I have played in many tournaments and done fairly well, now the time for me to step up my game and play in bigger tournaments that require a golf handicap. I have found a great way to keep track of my golf handicap, many of the tournaments that I play in require a USGA handicap. Nethandicap.com has online software that helps you figure your handicap and it works very well for me. Using this software you can get your own USGA handicap and play in tournaments like i do. It is a lot of fun and great exercise too. Check out the web site for Net Handicap at http://www.nethandicap.com, and get your own software to help you with your handicap.
