Hosting problems and what to do?

Well, each and every year, my one domain at thehangout2.com is guaranteed to go down for anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks.   The host on the account is "Noeclue.com" and the are truly pathetic, their service is awful and they are anything but reliable.

Now I know some are wondering why I don't just move to another host, I wish I could.  But I set the site up under one of those deals where the host also registers your domain name for you, this is a huge mistake for anyone to do.  You ALWAYS want control of your own domain, so NEVER trust the registration to anyone but yourself.

So now my site has been down since the end of May, Noeclue does not bother to reply to any support emails or questions.  And to be honest, I don't even want the domain renewed, I have ask Noeclue probably a hundred times over the past 5 years to push the domain name to me, but its not being done.

What I don't understand about all of this deal with Noeclue is that all of my bitching to them has earned me years of free service, but as they say.... you get what you pay for, and I would much sooner just be paying for a reliable and dependable host, that a free host that can't seem to get their act together.

So at this point, I am thinking about moving the content from that site, to this blog and making an effort here to keep this up active.

Garage Floors

We did some extensive home repairs and remodeling this past summer, remodeling that also included having a section of the detached garage cemented.

Now we need a way to preserve that newly poured cement and that is where a place called CarGuyGarage came to our assistance. 

The people at CarGuyGarage are experts in the area of dealing with garage floors, and it is recommended that we put an epoxy coating down, this will protect the floor and its easy to maintain.

NcNatural.com – Helping you To Save Money Online

With the high cost of gasoline these days and then with the predicted cost of heating our home’s this winter.  Well it has become necessary to try and save money when and where we possible can. 

One such area where you can save a great deal of money is by shopping online and with the help of place’s such as NcNatural.com, a site that is updated daily with hundreds of merchant offers as well as Coupon Codes, code's where you can find some great deals on things such as 123Inkjets coupon codes and one that especially interest me which is Overstock.com.

So, by doing the majority of my shopping online and with the help of NcNatural.com, I can save the cost of gasoline, and with the help of the coupon codes, well my savings will help to stretch my Holiday money even further.


Fluorescent Bulbs

Have you replaced the light bulbs in your home with the fluorescent bulbs ?   If you have, then what has been your experience, how long ago did you switch over to the fluorescent type bulbs and have they lasted longer for you?

The reason I ask is because I spent around $50 to replace EVERY bulb in my home, that was around 6 month ago and those bulbs are burning out already.  

I am not going to stop using them, because they are more friendly for the environment and suppose to help to control green house gases, but I want to know what experience other's have had and where they purchased their bulbs from.  

Mine where purchased at various stores, some at just the dollar general, some at walmart, kmart and then some at Lowe's.  I am going to watch for sales and pick them up when they are on sale.

CozyHomeWares.com

I have collected aprons for a good number of years, while my collection isn’t all that large, I have aprons from just about every state that I have been to.   The aprons vary a great deal in style and colors, some are fancy and some are just plan chef’s aprons. So of course when I find  a site such as cozyhomewares.com that has a small but nice line of aprons, then I am there.   They have a really nice forest green chef’s apron that I wouldn’t mind adding to my collection. At cozyhomewares.com, they also have a nice selection of  shower curtains  with a price in the range from $25.99 to $29.99 and they include FREE shipping and handling for all US orders.
