Pre-Paid Legal! Gotta Love It!


So, the big news this week is that I bought a Pre-Paid Legal membership for myself. Now that I'm out on my own, in my own place, and there's no way anymore to consider me a dependant, I thought I'd better get on the stick and start doing "adult" things.


I'd heard about Pre-Paid Legal before. We had a membership way back when that really helped us with "The Boys" (Ancient EatStayPlay.com history that DOESN'T need to be revisited!)


BUT, the difference this time is I actually GET how cool this is. I get access to "quality law firms for $26 a month or less."


Their website says:

Have you ever...


  • Been overcharged for a repair?
  • Received a speeding ticket?
  • Been audited?
  • Purchased a home?
  • Tried to return a defective product?
  • Lost a security deposit?
  • Signed a contract?
  • Prepared a will?

Even though most people find themselves in these situations, the majority do not seek the advice or help of a qualified lawyer. Why?


  • It may cost too much.
  • They may not know where to begin.
  • The process is intimidating.

You only get as much justice as you can afford. If you don't know your rights, you simply don't have any! The top 10% of income earners can afford to have a lawyer on retainer and are accustomed to asking their lawyer for advice before making decisions. What about you?

With Pre-Paid Legal:


  • You know who to call.
  • You're treated like the firm's most important client. (And you REALLY are!)
  • A one year membership costs $312 or less. (About the same as my renter's insurance!)
  • You are empowered by knowing your legal rights.

Without Pre-Paid Legal:


  • You may try to handle it yourself.
  • You'll likely receive as much justice as you can afford.
  • You may pay hundreds of dollars for ONE HOUR of a lawyer's time.
  • If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!


Pre-Paid Legal "levels the playing field" in the justice system. With a Pre-Paid legal plan you can say, "I'm going to talk to my lawyer about this." -- and mean it! (Which I DO do on a regular basis)

And, I liked the company so much, I joined as an associate! They've got a GREAT identity theft program as well. I think it's an amazing product and it's a ton of fun to sell 'cause I really get to help people.

Kim's House

My fantastic house:
It's a composte picture to show the whole front, which is why there's a "line" down the middle.

Mom, painting the former "dragon train room" It ended up light light blue!

My dad fixing a hole in the drywall in the livingroom.

Mom painting MY bedroom- yellow of course!

The swing set in my back yard. Kris' kids like to come over to play.

View of the back of the house!

Lily- checking it out in the back yard.

My "inherited" rooster! He follows me around like a puppy. I can't keep them (see below) because they're just TOO messy but I've been enjoying them while I've got them!

Might be a chicken, might be a rooster. Hard to say!

My favorite little helpers! Kris' kids Griffen and Elwyn. They helped me clean up and just HAD to wear gloves!

Keeping Things in Perspective



Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky.
It is more than 1000 light years away.

Now how big are you? And how big are the things that upset you day to day? Or for that matter, the things that are important?
Keep life in prospective
