Cuties

I came across a picture of the cutiest kangaroos - the mommy and a little albino child. They live in Uzbekistan zoo and the child is really a wonder! You can't but admire these creatures!

Going to work - it is better to keep green?

Now that it is spring in bloom and summer is coming soon, I have an important dilemma: going to work by car or by bicycle. Many people in my town choose bicycle, because it gasoline is very expensive and cycling is less harmful for the environment. What I'm not sure about is whenther it will be great if I come to my work on bicycle. I don't wear a suit, but still I should look spin and span. Will I look clean after a 20 minutes' ride on a bike? Besides, I'm afraid I won't look as reputable as if I went there by car. The green aspect of the matter is obvious, but... So, I can't decide. Probably bike. Or car. Hmmmm...

Credit for people with bad credit history

is really not the thing I would like to have now! I remember the time my credit was really really bad and I could only afford having a limit of $300 and a sky high interest rate. My credit is more than average now and I’m in constant search for a new rewarding plastic: I know it is harmful for the score… but I can’t resist the temptation! Quite occasionally I came across a listing of credit cards for people with really bad credit and I was about to cry – they are much cheaper now than some two years ago. Times and prices change so quickly!

Working in the office: so much to hate about it!

I work in an office. Like most of you, I guess. Every office has its own lifestyle, its own regulations. Do you like the lifestyle of YOUR office, does it fit your habits and personal rythm? Mine is not, frankly speakig. I see many people sit at their desks without any shade of fatigue, but I feel like in a cell, in a closed box. I like air. I need free breathing, not the dry and dusty air of my room. This and the presence of a lot of people makes me really tired and I have less energy to do my job.
I tried working at home - it is much easier and faster, I should say! So I wonder wh can't I do my job at home without spending 2 hours a day on my way to work and back???
I'm sure there should be opportunity for people like me - I will do all the things I have to do, but PLEASE not there in the stuffy office!
It is sad, but they pay much less money for working at home and it s not encouraged at all...
Where would you do your job - at home or in the office? Maybe, I'm a pervert??!!!

Credit Card Shaving: a New Invention of Identity Thieves!!!

Identity theft has become the nightmare of every holder of a credit or a debit card. Even if you are a user of some exclusive credit card deals, you can face this problem. What scares people most of all is the fact that you can fail noticing you have become identity theft victim. Numerous experts from credit card companies and special organizations give their countless tips on how to protect your credit. You can fall victim of credit card fraud, even if your plastics are in your wallet and you haven’t received alerts of stolen credit information, but there are credit card transactions you didn’t make. Experts call this credit card shaving and offer a number of security measures against it.
I hear about this for the first time, so I decided to publish the details of the issue in my blog. Credit card shaving sounds really strange, probably, because this is a new crime in the variety of scams. Scammers, surprisingly, do not try to get your credit card or personal information in any way. They just try out the combination of figures which make a valid credit card number. After that the masters of blade and glue stick cut the digits from the old plastics and put them in the valid succession. After that they are free to use the hand-made credit card for purchases. The police say victims rarely aware of the scam, therefore, the criminals can make multiple purchases with one and the same credit card number.
As you see, identity thieves have become really inventive nowadays. I believe it is necessary to check out the new issues concerning this problem, and I bookmarked Privacy rights site to be always in the know of independent information.

A fabulous find in the Web

I got a habit of browsing such sites as digg or furl to discover new and interesting info for fun and practical use. Today I came across a link I was happy to find - Darwin works online. it is a site which contains all eminent works by Ch. Darwin, including The Descent of a Man, Origins of the Species and many more. That was exactly what I was searching for not long ago and now I've found them all!

I'm searching for a new...

cell phone! My old kind Nokia 6101 can no longer meet my needs. And it is covered with multiple scratches, since I used to carry it in my jeans pocket from which it used to fall out.
I'm tired of browsing the web, really. It is not easy to find the phone of your dream which does not cost my monthly salary. I want a slider, with a camera and good memory, also with mp3 and something intriguing.. I don't know what... Probably, some of you can make a suggestion of a good Nokia phone?

It is April already and I still don't know what my credit score is like. There are a lot of sites that cater for credit reports online, and my aim today was to find the one which could give me reliable information and the reports itself as well. After a bit of googling, I came across a web-site that looks unpretentous, but contains a lot of valuable information. Ah, it's called unioncreditreports.com - I ordered my credit report and credit score from this site already.
I still doubt whether it can make any good to order some books about frugal living from this site. the articles are useful, but not for me, as I keep spending beyond my means...
Hope you are wiser with money!

I Am Legend (Post III)

I read the book this weekend! Well, and it impressed me more than i expected, in fact. Another thing to be mentioned is the second title of the book - The Omega Man, having the meaning "the last man" - very conceptual, isn't it?
Now, some words about the content and the message of the book. The story unflods in the 70s of the 20th century (the book was written in 1953, by the way). An unknown virus was spread rapidly and turned the people into vampires. Well, I think there is no need to retell the plot, as any of you can read the novel by yourself (it is quite short, by the way). What really needs mentioning is the idea being expressed by the author: the norm is defined by the majority, and Nevill, being the last healthy man on the Earth was not normal. He used to kill the infected, family by family, in the daylight, and after dawn they found their friends, relatives and children dead and these were painful losses for them, just like it could be for any human beings.
That's why the ill were afraid of him, hated him and caught him finally to put him to death, as there was no place for Robert Nevill in the future state of the infected people.
Was it a bit of intrigue? Then read the book, it's worth it!

Spring is about to come finally!

Well, although it is march already, it is still cool. There is nothing quite new in my life. Ah, there is! I've got a pet parrot at home and it is oh so cute! Now I know that birds have tongues and they can lick! (my cutie is fond of licking water from the floor of the cage). Lyrical digression, you see.
My life now is something uncertain: I'm searching for a new work, I'm thinking over a mortgage and I'm about to go studying, but don't know what so far. The only things that cheer me up is my little parrot and my family, so everything is not so good, as you see.
Now I can't spend much money, as everyday there is a risk of losing job for an indefinite period.
Wish me luck, so that I could put my life in order as soon as possible.
