Vat 19 has “curiously awesome” products that you don’t find just anywhere. They sent me some samples of a few of their products. One product called Insta Snow Powder, my favorite, is pretty cool. All you have to do is add water and this white powder expands and really looks like snow. Kids of any age would love it! I also received an Ambient Fire Video Fireplace DVD . It makes your TV screen look like a fire burning in a fireplace. That’s neat for those who don’t have fireplaces. The third thing I received was a scented pencil which smells like cotton candy.

If you would like a “space efficient electronics charging valet” that is an electronics charger station which neatly hides cords for charging adapters, then check out Vat 19. It will hold three adapters and charge them while concealing all the cords in a neat little station. It also has a surge protector and a little drawer to hold small items.

My doctor is a wonderful doctor. She used to be five minutes away from my house, but she moved to a new office and is now twenty-five minutes away. She’s such a great doctor, though, that it’s worth the longer drive. When she moved to the new medical office, all three doctors updated their medical records to computer software. When I go for an appointment, she has a computer in the examining room and pulls up my records on the computer. It’s all so organized! I’m not sure exactly what software she uses, but she uses some type of practice management software.

VirMedice is a leading EMR software consultant for electronic medical health records management. They help physicians convert from a paper records management system to the latest in EMR electronic health records keeping, just like my doctor did. All medical records and reports are at the doctor’s fingertips, organized and easy to access. And what I really like is that it increases security of patient information.

Everyone has to deal with finances, personal and maybe on the job. That’s part of life, a part that can get old from time to time. Everyone has their own way of handling finances and budgeting, but sometimes they might need some budgeting software. I have three friends who work in accounting, and my dad used to be an accountant. That is tedious work and far from being a school teacher like I have been. I think if I were an accountant, I would want all the software I could get to make the job easier!

I just found another coupon site , which is exciting. They have a list of companies that participate. I noticed that Dell is on the list, and I use a Dell laptop right now. We have three computers in our house, but the other two are usually in use. So I use the laptop most of the time. At some point, however, we would like to get a new laptop. It would be great to recieve Dell coupons when the time comes for our purchase. I’m for saving money anytime we can. And when I can save money on something that I’m wanting or planning to buy, that’s exciting! I don’t know if you’re in the market for a new laptop like me, or maybe you’re wanting a new desktop computer. If you are, check out the Dell coupons and discounts.

Computers are one of the greatest inventions and make work so much easier.  They are great for communication, also, as people can communicate as often as they want or as necessary.   To be honest, I didn’t use computers much until our daughter went off to college.  Before then, I’d just tell her, my husband or our son what I needed on the computer and they would do it for me.  (I wasn’t spoiled, was I?  LOL)  But after our daughter was gone to college , I quickly learned how absolutely wonderful email was.  We would email each other on almost a daily basis and still do to this day even though she’s been out of college for four years. 

But just as computers are so wonderful to use, they can be equally frustrating when they’re not working like they should or like we want them to.  Sometimes fixing the problem is simple and sometimes it takes getting outside help (for me…my husband) to fix the problem.  One thing that’s important is having enough memory to run several programs.   Some people need IBM memory, but whatever kind you need, be sure you have plenty of it.  That’s one thing I have learned about computers.
