Blogging Technology: Keeping Your Computer Up To Date and Safe

We all are looking for software that will keep our computers clean and running smoothly. I recently was looking at a software website that makes your computers run like new, it is called Simplitec.com.

The software that I really like for our PC is Simplisafe; because it claims to that it will digitally delete your digital footprint.  That means that your cookies will not be tracked back to your computer to see where you are surfing on the internet.

Other Benefits from the Simplitec software

-defragment your files
-recover data, update your files
-delete internet history and cookies to protect your privacy

For secure software, visit Simplitec’s website because they are experienced and have been in business for 18 years. That is a long time for computer companies. When it comes to software for safety and making our computers run faster it can be tough; but with much research you can find the right one that suits your needs.

While I am on the subject of software and safety, I wanted to share some great tips on safety while shopping online.

For all sorts of software information and reviews CNET is a good resource. If I am unfamiliar with a particular software I always try to get an opinion on what experts say about it.

Recently, I was reading an article on CNET.com, How To Stay Safe When Security Shopping, and it had some really good tips such as changing your passwords and you can even have spaces between your passwords to make it more difficult for your password to be recognized. Another good tip was to make sure you logout of the internet web browser when you are done.

There are a lot of bad people that want to try to get your information so to have software that maximizes your computer experience is essential.

 

 

Thirty Days of Giving Thanks: Day Eleven through Fourteen

Thirty Days of Giving Thanks (continued)

Day Eleven
I thank God for the men and women who served in the Armed Forces and in the Military how fought to give me the freedom to live in this country that allows me to be free. These men and women sacrificed time with their own friends and families to fight for a cause they many of us take for granted. The United States of America was founded on the concept of freedom in 1776. And to this day, that fight continues. Be sure to thank a veteran for your freedom.

Day Twelve
I thank God for my daddy who, unfortunately, left this Earth too soon. My daddy taught me so many things, in the years that we shared together and even in the years since has has been gone. My father was a respected business man, great father and a loyal husband. I have heard countless stories of his goodness and his kind-hardheartedness  from my mother, my family and others. I take those stories and let them mold me into a better person.

Day Thirteen
I thank God for my mommy who had to raise me as a single parent after my daddy died. Not only has she been a great mother, but always a great father. She not only took great care of me but also provided me with a solid of how to be as a man. I will never forget her working long hours in a hat factory to provide me with everything needed to make my life happy in spite of losing my father at such an early age.

Day Fourteen
I thank God for being a world traveler with my world-class wife. Growing up in a small town, I only dreamed that I would be able to travel out of the country. But that dream did come true last year when my wife and I went on a seven-day Caribbean cruise on the largest cruise ship of them all, the Oasis of the Seas. We experienced the culture of the Bahamas, Saint Thomas, and Saint Martin. We also had a chance to see the dolphins in Tortola and the alligators in Fort Lauderdale. We had a great time and would highly recommend everyone go on one cruise in their lifetime.

Thirty Days of Giving Thanks: Day Six through Ten

Okay, so I have not been keeping up with my thirty days of giving thanks. The last couple of weeks have been full of work and church that I have not had much free time. For the first time in several weeks, I have had  a free weekend. It was nice to have some time at home to get some much needed projects crossed off my list. One of those projects is getting back to my Thirty Days of Giving Thanks.

Day Six
I thank God that I live in a country that gives me the freedom to vote for my elected officials and gives me a say in the political issues. In some parts of the world, people are ruled by dictators, tyrants and kings. But here in the United States, we have leaders elected by the people. We may not always agree with the outcome of the election. We may not like the way that the election process works. We may not like the negative campaigning, name calling and lies. But it is a freedom afforded to us by the Constitution, and should never take it for granted.

Day Seven
I thank God that I have freedom to express my own religious views without reservations. In some countries, it is illegal and even punishable with death if you say that you are a Christian. Wow, that is so amazing and hard for me to believe. But as a American, I can freely proclaim my views without looking over my shoulder, fearing some one is coming after me. Or I can read my Bible and not have to hide it when I see a police officer. Sadly this is the true for some people in the world.

Day Eight
I thank God that for this His Grace and Mercy that He provided through His son Jesus Christ. I am in no way perfect. I am still growing in all areas of my life. I make mistakes along the way. But I know that God is molding me, shaping me and helping me to be a better person. It is so awesome to think that when I mess, all I have to do is go to Him and ask Him for the forgiveness. But what is better than that, is that He will forgive me and help me to not do it again.

Day Nine
I thank God that my mother-in-law raised her daughter to be a strong woman. Although I never had the opportunity to meet her, I know that her spirit on lives in my beautiful wife. When my wife tells me stories of her mother, I can see the pride and love that she has for her. The longer that I am married to my wife, I can see how she is becoming more like her mother. She was a great role model and there is not a better person to be want to be like.

Day Ten
I thank God that my father-in-law raised a daddy’s girl. He treated her like a princess and sacrificed his time for her. He worked long hours and sometimes two jobs so that he could provide for the opportunity to go to private school all the way through college. He gave me the inspiration to know how I wanted to treat his daughter, doing everything I can to make sure that life has everything that it needs to be joyful.

Read All About It!!! Newsprint Skirt From Lettuce Stitch Designs A Winner

JT in newsprint Lettuce Stitch Designs skirt

This past Saturday, my husband and I went to our Pastor’s Breakfast at the Ritz Carlton. It was really awesome. Our women’s fellowship asked the ladies to wear jewel tones. I teamed my red silk blouse, pink cardigan, pink rayon scarf and black lattice tights with a newsprint skirt that was sent to me from Lettuce Stitch Designs. When they contacted me, I looked at the website and this newsprint skirt caught my attention. Donna and Mary Jo, the co-founders of the company from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, were so kind to send me this American-made skirt try. I always give my honest review and do not sugar-coat the details. I could not wait to get it in the mail. I received the skirt in only two days. The skirt is very well made and easy to get on and off because the stretch is amazing.

JT is Lettuce Stitch Designs Newsprint Skirt
The newsprint is really cool and looks very chic. There is no negative news on the newsprint and  the wording is not from a newspaper, an artisan created the design. Yes, I look at the words on the skirt, very detailed.

The skirt has black lettuce stitching around the edges of the waist, side seams and hem. There are no zippers, buttons, or Velcro. I just put it on, like I would a slip or a bodyshaper because the skirt has great stretch.

Stay tuned for more post on how I style the Lettuce Stitch Designs skirt with other items in my wardrobe. Thank you Lettuce Stitch Designs for giving me the opportunity to try out a really wearable skirt.

To purchase the newsprint black and white skirt and see other designs please go to this online boutique.
