No Episode Today

My apologies to all.  There will be no episode today.  Yesterday at work I had to leave early due to severe back pain.  After some heavy duty meds, I was in no position (loopy) to record, nor was my pain level manageable.

We will resume our programming on Friday where Paul and I will discuss the recent Colorado shooting and how it can affect and be used by families, as well as talk about money management and kids thorough both of our stories on taking $25,000 plus in credit card debt and paying it all off!

You heard that right.  Paul and I are both credit card debt FREE!!!  Stay tuned this Friday to see how we did it and how it has affected our kiddos.

Action Alert’s Maximum Protection Review

For those of you that have been looking for internet monitoring software and/or a way to block your kids internet access, Action Alert might be perfect for you.  I do an indepth look at the Maximum Protection Version so you can see it before you decide.

Overall: a fantastic piece of software. Maximum Protection covers all the gaps that the Free Protection just cannot fill. The Viewer option is worth it’s weight in gold, especially for the difficult grey-zones in social media (e.g. Facebook). The fact that you can adjust for each user (or kiddo) with different settings is fantastic and great for that computer that you share with multiple kiddos.

To visit Action Alerts site or buy Action Alerts software CLICK HERE. This is an affiliate link  so if you download or buy the software, I get a small amount back.  No extra cost to you.
