CompUSA closing all stores

Computer and electronics retailer CompUSA announced on Friday that it would start winding down its retail operations after being acquired by an investment firm, which is looking to sell the company's business and assets.

Gordon Brothers Group is discussing with different parties the sale of stores in key retail markets and CompUSA's other assets, including the Internet retail unit CompUSA.com and technical-support-services business CompUSA TechPro.

The retail stores that don't sell will be shut down, CompUSA said in a statement. The 103 stores will remain open during the holiday shopping season and provide heavy discounts on products.

Glad I don't work there anymore. God bless those that are loosing their jobs/careers.

Angel Food Ministries

"Serving Neighbors One Box at a Time"

This is a "new-to-me" concept. It is similar in some aspects to some sort of co-op, but no membership is required. Here locally, it is offered through my church and a few other churches in the city. It boils down to very inexpensive restaurant quality food available once a month on a pre-order basis. You can participate once, occasionally, or every month. There are multiple "add-on packs" to expand the monthly offering and variety for a custom fit to your tastes and the size of your family. I highly recommend them. You can check their website for your local area location.

From their website:

Angel Food Ministries’ mission is to help relieve hunger throughout the United States.

Angel Food Ministries, a non-profit, non-denominational organization, began in 1994 as a small outreach ministry serving a rural community in Georgia. The goal was to help neighbors who needed a hand up in a tough economic time. Today, Angel Food Ministries can be found in over 3,200 communities in 34 states and helps feed over 500,000 families a month.

Angel Food partners with churches and community organizations throughout the country to help distribute food to those in need. For $25.00* you can receive a box of food containing both fresh and frozen items. Our food items are first quality. No seconds or out-of–date items.

For more information on Angel Food, take a tour of our website. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Your Credit-Contacting the Three Major Credit Bureaus

Well, here we go, installment number 2 in the "Your Credit" series.

Listed here are the three credit reporting agencies. I have found, at least for myself, calling them can be tedious (it is a long drawn out "automated" phone call). I much prefer contacting them via the free-once-a-year Annual Credit Report, as mentioned below.

You can also ask for your free credit report by mail by sending a letter to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348_5281 or by filling out the form available at the Federal Trade Commission's Web site at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/credit/docs/fact_act_request_form.pdf.

Email or snail mail, it can take anywhere from 5 weeks to 8 weeks to get your report from each bureau.

In part three we will cover some basics of how to clean up your report.

Testing.... Testing....

Hello all! Here is a short test post to see how my Blogger Widget does...

Counting down the days for my vacation to begin!

I will be able to dive back into the block when I get back. My next big post will be the part two of my credit series. (Just to get your drooling started)  :)

Assemblies of God Mega Churches

Here is a link to wet your whislte for a few days...

Richard Alan Tatum's site, BlogRodent, is a great site; but this particular link 
lists the 100 largest Assemblies of God churches in the US. (Mine is currently #85). 
The best part is he has links for all of them and their blogs (if they have one). 
Browse around there for a few days, then check back here. I will have some new stuff by then.

Enjoy!

ICE - In Case of Emergency

Have you heard of the idea where you put an emergency contact entry into your phone to make it easier for Paramedics/E.M.T.s/etc to find out who to contact for you in case of an emergency? Well here is the official website.

Don't pay good hard earned money to get stickers or forms or the like anywhere else! They have all of those and more FREE on this site.


Here are the basics...

You can make their job easier by adding an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under the label ICE with the names and phone numbers of people that should be called in case of an accident or injury. Simply put the acronym ICE before the names you want to designate as key contacts or next of kin ― creating entries such as ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

By adopting the “ICE advice” your cell phone may help emergency and rescue services quickly contact a relative or friend ― which could be vital in a life or death situation. It only takes a few seconds to do. Responders at the scene will now know right away who to notify.
