Step 1 -Plug in the numbers for your credit card bills - interest rate, balance and minimum monthly payment. Step 2 - You choose from three plans which will highlight when you will be debt free.

A great tool...helpful to me....I hope to you as well.

Sharing...New & Cuil Search Engine

Hey...

Have you heard about the new search engine Cuil?

Taken directly from their "About Us" page:

The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.

Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency.

Then we offer you helpful choices and suggestions until you find the page you want and that you know is out there. We believe that analyzing the Web rather than our users is a more useful approach, so we don’t collect data about you and your habits, lest we are tempted to peek. With Cuil, your search history is always private.

Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge. For knowledge, ask Cuil.

Economic Stimulus Package....Coupons?

I don't mind sharing my idea of an economic stimulus package...coupons! It is nothing new, not innovative, not some big bright idea. It has been around for awhile...coupons. Want to stimulate the economy? Give me some coupons (and a rebate check!). I mean real meaningful coupons - for brand name stuff.

I know that there are folks who are loyal coupon clippers and they know about the benefits already. But I am hoping to reach the masses, my friends, family and the like...in these economic times, coupons come in handy.

For example, I used to throw away those big blue and white Bed Bath & Beyond coupon. Not anymore honey....not when I learned I can buy more than bath towels at this spot and get 20% off a single item. And you know what is the great thing about BB&B? They take as many coupons that you have, including the expired ones. You have 20 items and you have 20 coupons (this is possible..I saw a lady with a handful of them)...you get 20% off each item. And what is even greater about my peoples at BB&B..they even take the competitors coupons!!!!

20% off $5 off $10 off $30

Now, the catch is you can't combine them with the $5 off coupon. But you know what, I am fine with that because I learned how to be strategic with the coupons. You should see me and my mom at the register...I am happy when it is time to present my coupons!!!

If they would just add a freezer section!!! (LOL)

Want to sign up for some coupons with BB&B: Click here to get join their mailing list!

Do what I do...collect the coupons from friends and family that do not use their coupons (foolish...). You can buy a shower head, a comforter set, rugs and toothpaste, lotion, etc.

OR...check this out...they have the coupons online on eBay! These are a hot ticket item. Check it out here.....

Enjoy!

First Breeze of Summer...

Hey good people...

Remember I told you way back in the day about Crystal and Brandon? The up and coming actors? Well I am going to update you about them and someone else in the group, Jason Dirden. Yes, they are family. Brief background for those just catching up...Crystal is married to Brandon and Jason is his brother which makes him Crystal's bro-in-law. Got it? Oh yeah, most importantly, all three are in the cast of the highly anticipated play, "The First Breeze of Summer".

"The First Breeze of Summer" is the first production of the Signature Theatre's 2008-2009 season celebrating the historic Negro Ensemble Company (NEC). "The First Breeze of Summer" by Leslie Lee and directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, begins previews on August 5, 2008 and continues through September 28 at the Peter Norton Space located at 555 West 42nd Street in New York City.

You should check it out....the tickets are only $20 (special initiative sponsored by Time Warner)

The original production of "The First Breeze of Summer", directed by NEC founder Douglas Turner Ward, received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play during its 1975 run at Broadway's Palace Theatre. The show takes place over the course of one sweltering weekend in June, as the struggles of three generations of the Edwards family collide. Gremmar (Leslie Uggams), the family matriarch, looks back on her past and considers its legacy for her children and grandchildren as they confront the choices that will define their futures. Leslie Lee's Obie Award-winning play is a timeless portrait of family bonds and coming of age.


I am going to check it out and I hope you do too!
