The Bernard Factor Your Net on blogs

I have had the great privilidge of owning and writing to a few blogs over the past two years. When I first started it was a way for my parents and long distant relatives to stay up on what was going on with our family and kids. Since I am horrible about sitting down and writing letters and emails work to a point. I wanted to a way to show the latest pics and updates on the kids soccer and baseball games. Since my introduction to the blogging world I have learned so much and meet quite a few people. Although not face to face but through blogs and email. I am always curious on why people blog and mos of the time you can see a central them throughout their posts. One such blogger is Patrick Curl. Patrick Curl is trying to see if he can lose weight and make money online. By using his blog as a personal motivator to help him loose weight he has also committed to donating 25% of earned revenue to the American Diabetes Association. This is a great concept because he his putting his personal goals out for the world to see and this will provide the motivation to be a constant reminder on why he is blogging.

I wish Patrick great success in his blogging travels and hope that we can help in some small way towards reaching his goals. He also has a pretty interesting blog that surrounds blog contests which is just getting started but he has a great vision on how to make all those who contribute part of the earnings.

We recently moved into our new this past summer and the views we have are awesome as we look out over a mountain range. As with any new home you have a lot of items that need to be purchased and blinds being one of the more important ones. Those are a must for the bedrooms and bathrooms and then you can move onto the family and other living areas. We put up standard min-blinds in the kids bedrooms and for our bedroom we invested in the pleated top down bottom up shades that you can open from the top or bottom. This is a great feature since now we can leave the top open and still have a wonderful of the snow covered mountains while keeping our privacy.
As we started cover the windows you forget how expensive blinds and window treatments can be. Thank goodness for the internet to help find Discount Blinds through companies like selectblinds.com. They are involved with Extreme Makeover Home edition so some of the homes that you see will feature the many types of blinds that they have to offer. They offer free shipping and a money back guarantee on your order so you can feel safe and secure about ordering your product online. They even have free color and material samples that you can have mailed to your home so that you can see them up close and personal. Ordering our blinds online was a huge savings and probably saved us close to 45% total for our windows. We still have some large picture windows that we have not covered, but we are more than likely going to be investing in the top down bottom shades to help keep the beautiful view that attracted us to our new home.

The game of backgammon has been around for ages and played in homes, in bars, and now online. The rules are relatively simple, but the game play can take on many styles and techniques in order to be successful. The object of the game is to get all of your pieces around the board and cleared, before your opponent. The game consists of some luck and skill. You roll two dice and then decide on how to split the moves to best position your pieces to get around the board and avoid being captured by your opponents. If your opponent lands on your piece they can move it to the middle of the board and you will then have to start over from the beginning with that piece. This is where the strategy comes in. You must determine the right time to capture your pieces and at the the same time protect your own.

If you are looking for some great fun that can lead to some prizes and possibly cash then online backgammon may be your key to online fun. With the explosion of high speed internet access, and more people having access to the internet backgammon games have become more popular among online players. At sites like bgroom.com you can find rules and advice on how to play online and where to play. You will find strategies on opening moves, etiquette, and rules to the game. You simply download the free software and login and start joining in on the thousands of games that are taking place daily. The game has grown so much that there are official associations and the latest tournament had a cash prize of $1 million. Keep in mind that this is how Texas Hold’ em gained in popularity. It was originally a game played in casinos and card rooms for god size money and then once it hit the internet the latest winner of WSOP took home over $12 million. The internet and sites like 1on1backgammon.com give you the opportunity to play for free and against players from across the globe. So don’t spend your time watching a dog on a skateboard, but enjoy a game that you played as a kid and meet new people and maybe you will be in the next tournament.

There is nothing worth more on the streets of Stoney Run than an IOU from Scott McCutchen. In a friendly poker game that is held a few times a month, the fellas get together to play cards, and shoot the breeze. On a night where there stars were aligned Mr McCutchen felt that a straight flush was good enough to stay in a game called Kings and Babies. He unfortunately ran into the Mother of all hands which I had which was 5 ACES. So now that I have “Paper” from Scott, I have had offers from several neighbors to purchase said paper. What to do? I guess the only fair thing would be to post on eBay and let the highest bidder take all. While a friendly game, sometimes the sharks just can’t resist the smell of blood.

Many of my friends that play in our game have honed their skills through online sites for poker and gambling. These days finding an online casino has gotten much easier thanks to sites like Top USA Online Casinos. These review sites help US players find those sites that are US friendly since the government put a restriction to online betting. Many of the sites are free to join and play and they will use prizes to attract customers. The one nice things about many of the sites is that you can really perfect your poker game since you are playing from people from all over the country and the world.

Growing your blog can be a hard buy enjoyable task. There are more and more people coming online to start their own blogs to communicate with family, to use as an outlet, or to create their own presence online.
