Always something new

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

I have seen many things in my life. One thing that has always surprised me is the way that people can be identified by the way they dress. Whenever I go out, I tend to notice what people are wearing and enjoy trying to figure out what they do for a living. It’s a fun game to me but sometimes I get surprised. This happened to me the other day at the store while I was standing in line.

A nice lady was wearing some clothes that she said she bought from a site called http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/. She looked like someone who might work in a hospital to some people, but I thought she was something different. I guess I was way off that day and could not figure out what she did while at work.

After we talked for awhile, everything was revealed. She said she was wearing nurses scrub uniforms that she had bought off the internet. She could not believe that I didn’t know right off that she worked in a hospital. We both laughed at the way things turned out. I guess I am not always right and it certainly is humbling sometimes. I guess it’s just the way things go when you’re having an off day.

Sales

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Over the last decade, the internet has become a large source of sales for many companies. Many people like to shop from home at their own convenience. It is also good for the companies as profit is easier to generate as the products can be easily inventoried and shipped. Many have felt the need to start a website to help their business grow.

The problem for most people is getting their websites started. It can be a complicated process for those who are not computer savvy. It can take a lot of time and effort when things go wrong. That’s why I recommend using professionals to help. There are many companies that offer web hosting services. They can keep your site running for you while you attend to other matters. You can also choose web site hosting if you like. This is a good option for many.

Some people already know what they are doing. They have their own servers but need a place to put them. Keeping servers at the right temperature can be a tricky and expensive process. For these people, using a web hosting directory may be the answer. Whatever your needs are, I am sure that there is someone who can help. I wish you good luck with your business and hope you will be wealthy soon.

Schools and scholarships

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Well, it’s almost time for the kids to get out of school for their summer vacation. They have been looking forward to this for a long time. My son has finished the tenth grade and will be a junior next year. My daughter is especially exited as she will be graduating from high school. We have a big event planned and I am sure she will have a time to remember. It will mark the end of one phase of her life and the beginning of another.

One thing she plans to do this summer is to begin finalizing her plans for college. One college she has been looking at is Walden University. She has some friends who plan to attend that school and she likes the school as she has visited it before. But, before making her final decision, she is making sure she has checked out all the options she has.

One item that is important to us is financial aid. We were lucky to find a site called WaldenU.edu that has a lot of information on the subject. We want her to have a great education but we don’t want to go broke doing it. She has had some good results with applying for scholarships and grants and I am sure that some will come through. I will be pleased when I see her cross the state at her next graduation.

Eagles

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

I found a link to watch real time streaming of an Bald Eagle’s nest somewhere up in Iowa. This is not video taped or on YouTube – it’s live. I thought they were doing that in Tennessee, too. There is a large Eagle refuge up in the Kentucky Lakes area on the border between Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri. I can’t find any links for the Tennessee nest – do you have it?

I watched the Iowa link for about 3 hours while I was doing some paperwork and cleaning up. They are marvelous creatures.

Good Members

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

One thing I love about my job is that there are many perks. I do a lot of traveling around meeting clients and that brings a whole lot of chances to spend company money. While the money is mostly spent on my clients, I also get to spend some on myself. A recent golfing trip comes to mind where I got to do what I wanted while maintaining the company’s interests.

One thing a lot of my clients like to do is golf. We go out on the course and play a few rounds while discussing business. It can be hard to get tee times on occasion, so I use a site called www.48hourteetimes.com. It is easy to use and allows me to set up a game on short notice. This is important when I have clients who need to be taken care of.

There are a number of things I like about the site. The site lists all the openings for a number of courses. I can book my last minute tee time and save money as well. I can choose the date and time I need to book. Another good aspect is that there is no membership fee to use the site. Thanks to 48 hour tee times, I look good in front of my clients.
