Fans of Corvettes will love this site

January 20, 2008 by Tricia

I know that some of my readers are really into their cars. Me, well I know what I like, but otherwise I don’t know all that much about cars. Are you like me or do you want to know about every model ever made of your favorite type of vehicle?

If you fall into the latter range and you appreciate corvettes you might want to visit the Corvette Guys. They have a page on their site that discusses Corvette history. Well, I guess it’s not the complete history, but it discusses all of the models that have been made between 1997 and 2007. So for all of those who love corvettes you’ve got a decade worth of material!

You’ll find information about each years model, VIN numbers, paint colors used each year, production numbers matched to paint color, interior colors, photos, the retail price for the year the car was made, engines and convertible colors.

If you own a corvette that was made in one of the years that they’ve discussed you can submit photos of your car and vehicle information.

This site could be handy if you were doing a research project on Corvettes or perhaps if you were out with your friends and needed to settle an argument about one of the models particular features.

My oldest brother really enjoys his cars. I should actually tell him about this site as he’d probably enjoy the information at Corvette Guys.

Remember that’s my brother that sends about 100 photos of his new car when he buys a new one! Photos of the interior, exterior and all parts in between. It’s kind of funny. I mean if I was as into cars as he is I might find all those photo interesting, but since he’s not purchasing a Porche … well .. a couple photos would suffice.

Cars and their Boom, Boom, BOOM

October 21, 2007 by Tricia

I’m always up late at night and lately, maybe the last three months, I’ve noticed that a car goes by blaring it’s music almost every night at about 2 a.m. and then at 4 a.m..

I can hear for at least 6 minutes! Can you imagine how loud the music must be inside the car for me to hear it from blocks away? The drivers either already half deaf or soon will be. Now don’t I sound old! LOL

I got a glimpse of the car the other day. It’s one of those suped up models. Big tires, billet grilles, and it looks like it’s had a few types of car kits added to it – you know the ones that make the back bumper look really huge?

One of my brothers used to be really into cars and music. I guess he was just like this guy who’s traveling around my neighborhood late at night.

Do you enjoy the privacy of shopping in your own home? Perhaps you shop online or like to browse through catalogs and have your purchases mail ordered to your home? If you like doing either of those activities a website that might interest you is catalogs.com.

Catalogs.com has been in helping shoppers find and order catalogs that will assist them in buying the products they are interested in purchasing. The site has been providing this free service for over a decade.

On the site you’ll find listings for well known home shopping magazines such as Omaha Steaks, LL Bean, FAO Schwartz, Lane Bryant and many more.

There are over 35 catalog categories to browse through, and hundreds if not thousands of catalogs that you could potentially order.

If you are a gardener like me you might want to browse through the great selection of catalogs in the Garden and Yard section. Interested in Music and instruments? Check out the Books-Music-DVD section as well as Musical Instruments. If you’re a hobbyist the Art-Hobbies-Crafts section is a must.

There are Catalog listings for parents, those interested in clothing, fashion and beauty, automobiles, computers and electronics, fitness and outdoor activities plus many more listings.

Once you find a catalog that interests you, you can read a full description of the catalog and order it free of charge. Many of the catalogs are linked to the various companies websites which is great because you can begin shopping online if you’d like while you wait for your catalog order to arrive in the mail.

You might wonder why people order catalogs these days when so many companies offer online shopping? Well, you can browse through a catalog at your leisure just about anywhere. You can share your catalog with family and friends who might not have access to a computer as well. Plus, if you do have family or friends who are interested in making purchases through the catalog that you showed them you might get a nice discount for making a larger order than you would have on your own.

One last reason why you might be interested in ordering a catalog – many of the catalogs listed also have special offers such as a certain amount of money or a percentage off your first purchase when your make an order through the catalog.

One important piece of information that you should know about Catalogs.com is that there are NO memberships. You get whatever you ordered and nothing else. They also respect your privacy as they clearly state on their “About” page that they do not share your name, address or email address with anyone, but the catalog company from which you ordered your catalog.

Extra’s on the site include the Catalogs.com blog Shopaholics, a very funny shopping humor website, shoppers advice, news and articles, and Catalogs.com free monthly newsletter.

It appears that they will ship catalogs worldwide so anyone can use this site. I’d say that this site is a catalog shoppers dream site. Visit today. I’m sure you’ll find an interesting catalog or two to order.

Traveling in style

VW bike

I’ve always loved old mini VW vans, but I’ve never seen one this small!

I wonder what this biker keeps in his tiny VW? Great for storage or even a pet but certainly not a person. Ok, well I suppose an infant or child could ride in the VW sidecar too.

Have you ever seen motor bikes done up in funny ways like this?

Learn to dance the Salsa, Merengue, Cha-Cha and Bachata

September 15, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever wanted to learn how to dance the Salsa? It’s a lovely dance and it’s fun too.

Perhaps you experimented with Latin dance while on a vacation? Come on, you’ve tried it haven’t you? I was lucky enough to learn to Salsa and Meringue when I was only 12 years old as I got to spend two months in the Caribbean visiting my brother. He lived and worked on one of the islands and I have wonderful memories of that time.

Never mind vacations and dancing I’ve noticed that over the last few years there’s been a lot of interest in various types of dance. Look at shows like Dancing with Stars – doesn’t that make you want to dance too?

I think people have become more interested in dance because the television shows have made it so much more popular, and also because the stars in the dance shows really get themselves in good shape. Just look at how their bodies change from the start of the dance competitions to the finales? The stars are in fantastic shape after all those hours of dancing. If dancing will do that for me – sign me up!

If you’re interested in dance you should visit the Salsa, Merengue & Bachata Dance Bootcamp. It’s an online dance school. Imagine that.

As a member of the online Salsa BootCamp you can watch videos that will take you step by step through each of the Latin dances that they teach. Lessons start off with the most basic of steps and work their way through to advanced dance steps. As a member you’ll also receive free professional quality DVDs that you can use to practice dance steps anywhere.

Just think. You can learn how to do these beautiful dances in the privacy of your own home. It’s a fun way to get some exercise and you’ll be able to surprise your family and friends when you show them how well you can do the Salsa, Merengue, Cha-cha and Bachata.

When you sign up to learn to Dance with Salsa Dancing BootCamp you’ll get two free DVD’s right off the bat. You can start with a three day free membership if you want to explore the site and begin a few dance lessons in order to see if you’ll enjoy the courses. If you want to continue after your first free three day trial you can choose from a month, three month or one year membership. You’ll get free DVD’s and Salsa dance music with each membership.

It certainly sounds like fun and there’s plenty of lessons to take at the Salsa Bootcamp. Who knows, I might even sign up and brush up on my mostly forgotten Salsa and Merengue dance steps too.
