Fitbit Review

       I've had this gadget for about eight months now, and honestly I feel as if I've got my money's worth out of it. My pink bracelet that goes around it is stained and ugly now, but that is perfectly okay. I can alway purchase another one in another color. I was upset to find out that the company didn't replace it if it stained after a week's wear, but that is okay too. What was I expecting?
      The battery life of my unit hasn't been too bad either. I wear it seven days a week and only have to charge it three times a week. I don't think that is too bad. I was surprised at how well it works considering I use the alarm clock every morning. The vibration should have caused the battery to deplete faster, but it didn't. This is a nifty little gadget that has come in handy on a daily basis. I have no fitbit friends to keep me motivated, but trying to bet last week's step count is always my goal. My mom seemed to think it was a complete waste of money, but the results are real and I can see the difference it has made in my life. I have lost well over twenty pounds and I'm glad I bought this. 
       The only down side there is to this device would be the addiction of checking it constantly. Now that the Apple watch is coming out, I'm upset that the Fitbit will not be upgrading to IOS 8. I think I might save up the money and buy the watch for its health benefits. The customer representative at Fitbit told me that my device wouldn't connect to my new phone. So, until they upgrade too I'm going to have to stop obsessing over it. 
      I hope this is helpful!

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
