All about Private Phone Conversations.

Submitted by Ronald Cherry on

What is a private phone conversation? Does a private conversation occur when you are alone in your home or office, speaking on the phone to someone who is also at home alone?

Submitted by Guest on

Credit is a tool that some of us take lightly or give little thought to until its really needed. There are 10 things that you can do to make sure that your credit is always in good standing so it will be available when needed:

Plan For Critical Illness and Life Insurance Coverage

Submitted by Guest on

By far the best time to arrange critical illness and/or life insurance is when it is the last thought on your mind. Not top of mind.  Take a typical young preson. He or she is at the beginning of their career, perhaps living at home, but thinking of looking around for an apartment or a flat or maybe even a house.

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

I think Facebook is misunderstood in many ways. So many people think of all the negatives associated with using FB, to name a few (these are not my own thoughts but comments I have gathered from others):

 

    Too many people waste time on FB playing games
    Too many privacy issues on FB
    Not a serious platform to grow a business
