Tonight, the top 9 contestants perform on American Idol. My guess is unless something strange happens,L’il Rounds will most likely get eliminated this week. She hasn’t done very well over the last couple of weeks, so she really needs a good night to survive another week. I think the top two favorites are Danny Gokey and Adam. They will have to have a couple of bad performances to keep them out of the finals. I don’t know what the theme is this week. We will find out after we watch it later tonight since we are recorded it while we were out this evening.

Today, I,m going to go to Costco with my in-laws to help them shop and buy some things we need really bad. It saves us money by shopping there, so we try to go there a couple of times a month. My mother-in-law loves to have Rachel in her shopping cart while we are there. She shows Rachel different things and talks to her while they are shopping together. In the past, we have had a bite to eat there after we are done. But, I don’t really like the food there. They really only have hot dogs and bratwurst, which aren’t my favorites. We will go this afternoon because we are waiting for the snow we had this morning to melt so it’s easier for my in-laws to walk in the parking lot at Costco. It’s crazy weather here. We were in the 70’s yesterday and woke up this morning to several inches of snow that fell overnight.

One of my friends gave birth a couple of days ago. So, today my hubby, Rachel and I went to visit her today at the hospital. It was a big coincidence when we were walking to her room we ran into my ob-gyn doctor that delivered Rachel. We were all happy to see each other. She was especially happy to see Rachel and how well she is doing. We thanked her for the great job she did taking care of me during my pregnancy and delivering Rachel. After that, we went to see my friend. She is doing pretty good even though she had to have a c-section. Her newborn boy is really cute and doing great. Since it was at the same hospital we had Rachel, it brought back a lot of memories for us. I’m so happy for my friend and her husband.

I have tried to lose some of the extra weight I gained since Rachel was born over a year ago. My diet is very balanced, but I am not losing as much weight as I want to. So, I found a really helpful website to assist me to find the best weight loss pills for me. They have product reviews on over a hundred different diet pills, fat burner pills and other weight loss products. I was amazed how many good reviews and details they have on these types of products. So, before you or anyone you know buys any weight loss pills, visit this website weightloss.sybervision.com so you can find the best diet pills like I did.

My hubby always records American Idol and I’m so excited to watch it tonight. Maybe we can both watch it after I put Rachel to bed for the night. Right now, I’m trying to fix our dinner and I had Rachel’s food already prepared. I better get going and start fixing our dinner before it’s too late.

You may have heard of Mesothelioma, which is a form a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.

Last night American Idol had their top 10 contestants perform music from the Motown era. It was a pretty good show overall, but there were 2 or 3 performances that were pretty weak. I think Michael Sarver will most likely be voted off on the show tonight. Although, Megan didn’t do very well either, but I think she will barely make it to next week. I was really happy Danny Gokey did great, because he is still my favorite to win. The judges did a better job this week. During the show, Paula pulled a prank on ‘Simon and gave him crayons and coloring books because he acts like a little kid sometimes. Simon got back at her by somehow off camera coloring a mustache on her face with a crayon. It was pretty funny since Paula stilll had to judge the last contestant. She covered her “mustache” with her hands while she was talking. My hubby and I were laughing because it was pretty silly and unexpected. We will see tonight who gets voted off.

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST
Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112
can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote key less entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ‘remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor’s Note : It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked
Our car over a cell phone!’

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen.. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you’ll know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally….

Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

My hubby said it would be a good idea for us to get some life insurance. Calling different insurance companies can be very time consuming. So, we wanted to find one place we could go to get multiple quotes from different companies. After some searching on the internet, we found exactly what we were looking for at wholesaleinsurance.net. All you need to do to get several very competitive quotes is to go to their home page and look on the right side and you can compare life insurance quotes here. If you have any questions, you can also call their toll-free phone number.
