EBATES. Love Ebates, its real, I have gotten two checks! Big or Small log into Ebates, enter the store you wish to purchase from and they do the rest. If buying from Ebay, enter Ebates after you have won the item, go to Ebay then to your page and purchase. You don't need to enter Ebates to bid. If your interested in Ebates, let me know by sending me your email address and name to petrinablogger@yahoo.com. ((add EBATES in Subject)). I will send you a referral link! If you have any questions ask away. If you are a pre coupon seeker ((meaning you never buy until you have check every listing in the search engine for that stores coupon)), they do list coupons for each store however search via Google. I have found coupons via Goodle not listed on Ebates. There are some stores that are not on Ebates, such as Amazon.

CARBONITE. A back up life saver for those with never ending computer issues. I learned the hard way and lost nearly all of Azah's first year. Then, as if that was not lesson enough....another bump in the CPU world. I bought an external drive yet didn't find the time to back up onto DVDs. Thankfully this time, I had sent all the photos to my mom so I got everything back minus a few videos.
So after a referral from a friend, Carbonite became our second backup. Don't think for a second that when you open the closet you will just find clothes, the entire top row is of backup discs! ;). Lesson LEARNED! I have used Carbonite for two years now problem free and have been able to retrieve anything I needed. I am about to renew once again. I love that you can earn free months with referrals, so please use this link below to check it out, however let me know if your interested and I will email you a referral link, so I can earn some free time :). You also get a trial period, however don't start that without my referral link. So, to recap, if interested email me FIRST! LOL

Being that nothing in this world is perfect, the only downside to Carbonite is that you have to manually save videos. Easy enough, once on the file just right click and ask Carbo to save it! For instance whenever you upload your photos, Carbonite ((as long as your Internet connection is on)) backs it up automatically. Anytime you save anything, its backed up quietly in the background. HOWEVER, you do have to manually save the video files. Don't forget or they will never be backed up. 


The biggest plus, its UNLIMITED space! REMEMBER if you dont have your Internet connection on, it cant back anything new up. During the initial uploading time ((the time it takes Carbonite to get everything backed up from the CPU)), you will have to leave your connection on for days to a week on average. Depending on how much you have on the CPU.
