You Can be a Winner in an Online Lottery

Hey there. If you have ever wanted to play a lottery, then consider one that you can play online. Many of the rules are the same as you would find on a lottery ticket. Most states have some type of lottery that you can enter, but there could be fees for different states in order for you to play some of the games or to enter. Most lotteries have a minimum age of 18 years old. Some states have a minimum subscription such as $20 in order to play. As in a ticket that you would purchase from a store, you can choose your own lottery numbers. You can also use a service where the state randomly picks the numbers for you. If you have lucky numbers that you like, then you might want to avoid this option. When you subscribe and pay the fees, you can then purchase tickets. The tickets are normally $1, but some states have tickets that are higher. These tickets usually have a higher payout, but it is sometimes harder to win because there are more people who play the higher amounts. If you win in the lottery, you will be notified, and a confirmation of your ticket purchased is sent to your email.

Speed Stick GEAR Deodorant VoxBox Review

Hey there.  There are many deodorants out there on the market.  And let's not kid ourselves, some of the ads and commercials for those deodorants can be quite persuasive.  But you know what... Nothing speaks more than actually trying out the product.  That's why I was pretty excited about receiving the SpeedStick GEAR VoxBox from our good friends at Influenster.  I've seen and heard about it and even caught a commercial or two about its 24 hour protection, but I never got around to trying out a stick.  There's no excuse now!  The Speed Stick GEAR VoxBox provided me with 2 Speed Stick GEAR deodorant with drycore technology.  After switching it out with my regular deodorant stick for about 2 weeks, I can now give you guys some feedback as to how awesome this antiperspirant is.

Still Using Incandescent Light bulbs? Let Sylvania Light the Way!

Sylvania Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Light weight, lasts longer, AND saves you money on energy!
Hey there.  Are you still using incandescent light bulbs?  I used to.  I changed out my light bulbs not too long ago with the more energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs.  But what I didn't know is that there are more choices other than that.  Did you know that there are LED bulbs as well?  I sure didn't.  And I'm not the only one.  The below video is a short video about a set of parents that are about to get schooled by their daughter.  Check it out.

My Laptop is Plagued by the Black Screen of Death

Black Screen of Death
Oh no!!!  Black Screen of Death!!!
Hey there. Sorry for my lack of posts these past few weeks. My time has been consumed dealing with some personal matters and I've been spending most of my free time focusing on that. Nothing negative, actually, quite positive, but nevertheless, extremely time consuming. And even when I can squeeze out some free time, I can no longer post since my laptop is suffering from the, "Black Screen of Death." Ugh! My machine won't boot up. The windows logo appears, but soon after that, I see a black screen with my mouse curser. That's it. Nothing to click, nothing to escape, keyboard is not responding so I can't get to the task manager or run anything via the command prompt. Nothing but black death!

The Differences Between Stevia and Aspartame

Hey there. The wife and I have made a conscience effort in trying to eliminate as much sugar in our lives. I know... I know... it's tough. How are we to enjoy our liquid sunshine (ahem... coffee) without sugar?   Anyways, we've been thinking of switching our regular sugar with something like Stevia.  The problem?  There are so many sugar substitutes out there that it's difficult to know what the difference between them are.  Especially between the top two sugar free sweeteners, Stevia and Aspartame.  If you are like me, you'll want to be informed so let's shed some light on the differences between Stevia and Aspartame.  Check out the infographic below and educate yourself before making a change in your sugar.  Later!
