A Scour Update

I decided to try out a new search engine called Scour.com. The cool thing about it is I get points that I can cash them in for Pre-paid Visa Cards. I can collect the points by using the search engine...I'm always doing research anyway so I figured I might as well get paid for it, right? And I can also earn points by commenting and voting on websites.

So far the points are easy to accumulate and I've earned 572 points with very little effort. If I did a lot more searching I'm sure I would earn quite a bit more! And it only takes 6500 points to get a $25 visa card. It's just as easy as Mypoints only better. For every friend that I get to sign up I earn even more points. So far I have 4 friends. Not bad! Not bad at all since I've only been a member for 47 days!

Okay one thing I'll admit I was afraid of at first, in the past I've joined other search engines for points and found that the search results were worthless. With Scour however, the results come from google, yahoo and msn, which is great since I've been known to use them all.

So if you're interested, check out the link for yourself : http://scour.com/invite/theinsanewriter and let me know what you think. And as I earn more points I'll add more info and give you more updates!!!!

My Husband and the Electronics Department

Yesterday while my husband and I were out doing our usual weekly grocery shopping, he spotted a rack of compact flash cards in the electronics department and thought they were great because they were so small. You would think the bigger the better would be much more interesting! LOL

Then, he wanted to know more about them, and after I explained we don't have a camera for those, he said he wasn't all that interested in the flash card! Men! I guess some electronics fascinate them to a point, but when it comes to buying something so high tech, they're running the other direction! LOL

An Update on Financial Goals

Since I wasn't able to put extra towards a credit card last month, I decided to make an extra payment to one of the credit cards today. It was only $5 extra, but it just knocked the debt balance down to less than $950 which is great! I would have put more towards the card, but we're short this month and we have to save what we can for the electric bill and another big bill that we were obligated to pay about a month ago.

At least that credit card's balance is less than $950 now. That makes me feel so much better! And it's actually the card that double charges it's interest rate, so I'm definitely feeling better about things. Plus the electric bill wasn't nearly as much as I thought it was, so the hubby will be happy about that one! Looks like it's going to be a great day, after all!

My Tarot Card

This was interesting and fun. Below is my result.

You are Judgement

Happiness, Content, Joy.

Judgment is related to the Hebrew letter Shin, which is fiery and spiritual. A break from the past, going forward.

With Fire as its ruling element, Judgement is about rebirth or ressurection. The idea of Judgement day is that the dead rise, their sins are forgiven, and they move onto heaven. The Judgement card is similar, it asks the resurrection to summon the past, forgive it, and let it go. There are wounds from the past that we never let heal, sins we've committed that we refuse to forgive, bad habits we haven't the courage to lose. Judgement advises us to finally face these, recognize that the past is past, and put them to rest, absolutely and irrevocably. This is also a card of healing, quite literally from an accident or illness, as well as a card signaling great transformation, renewal, change.
