Fire extinguishers are an item that everyone can agree is good to have, but few of us own. Any public building and almost every workplace have a variety of fire extinguishers, but the average home likely has none. A small chemical or CO2 extinguisher placed strategically could have saved many thousands of homes in the past decade, and if people understood their importance, would save thousands in the coming decade. Whether a kitchen grease fire, a malfunctioning appliance or a candle placed too close to a drape, a home extinguisher would make a difference. It would save property, homes and even lives for only a few dollars. Can you afford not to have one?

If I was awarded to go on a $1,000 dollar shopping spree, without hesitation, I would choose to spend every last penny at Wal-Mart. If I were to get that opportunity to go on that shopping spree today, I would find my stepson, who is autistic, a laptop. He has recently went home school, due to bullying, and needs a laptop. Other things I would buy would be groceries, and everyday household items that my family needs. We are the owner of three vehicles as well, and so I would defiantly make sure that all of our vehicles were filled up with gas.

I am still quite young, and haven’t had much work experience because I went to college, and then have only had a little bit of working experience. My jobs have been in the restaurant industry, and waiting on people, and I have also done several office jobs. Recently, I started researching several jobs that could be done at home, and I really enjoy working from home the most because I can stay home with my daughter. I haven’t gotten rich off of my odd online jobs, but it does pay some bills, which helps. I wasn’t looking to make this into a career, but it has sort of fell into a part time job.

I have only went on several vacations through in my 23 years of living, and I have never been out of the United States, so if I had to pick any vacation, it would probably be to go to Paris. I am in love with art, and museums and the history behind it. I would really enjoy spending a week in Paris, and watching the artists on the streets painting, and eating in the finest restaurants, and visiting the best museums. I would also love to witness the Eiffel Tower at night with all the lights. It would be a dream come true to visit Paris.

One thing about me that no one really knows is that I hate stuff and clutter. I am very extreme with it. If I have more than one pair of sunglasses it really gets to me. I only have the basics and nothing more. I constantly get rid of things. I hate clutter in my house it is very sparsely decorate and the walls are white. If I had to move everything I could easily fit it in my small, compact car. I think this may because we moved a lot as a kid and never felt at home anywhere really.

On a regular basis I usually look forward to my goal of starting my own business. I have started my own ebay business on the side and am looking forward to expanding it. I started a few months ago just selling random things but have gotten more involved. I have started going to yard sells and finding stuff cheap then selling it for a profit. I am really good at it and hope to improve and make more money on a regular basis. Right now I am selling a couple of purses that I bought for cheap that are a brand name and should sell for more than I paid for them.

This past week I went on a little adventure. My friend and I went to a tour of homes in the city near us. It was her idea and I just went along but had a lot of fun. It was a tour of people’s houses. They were all decorated so nicely and gave me ideas for my own house. It was about $25.00 but well worth the price. They put a lot of effort into it and it was a fun event. I cannot wait to go again next year. It was a great time and I am happy that I went.

Like most people, there is a high probability that your family is in possession of old photographs. These items may have been in your family for a long time; sometimes you don’t even know when a photograph was taken. It is important that since these pictures are priceless, they must be protected from unexpected but very probable accidents such as fires. A good investment for protecting these objects would be an electronic fireproof box or safe, wherein you can keep these treasured items and make sure that in case something bad happens, your precious memories are safely intact and be well protected.

If I could change one thing about the world it would be no taxes at all on anything ever. I know this is probably unfair and would not work at all because the government would not have money, but it is still what I would change. It is not practical but that is ok. I hate paying taxes and feel they do not go anywhere. I would love to get my full pay check and not have to pay tax at the store for anything. I would love this no matter how unpractical it may be. I would support this law.
