Notes from Abigail
We are going out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants. It’s an Old English pup style place with the best food ever. I have been craving a prime rib just for some time now and there are not very many places that make that dish any longer.
They also serve and old fashioned English Shepherds pie. Now that is really hard to find. Of course there are also the obligatory fish and chips, etc… but it is well worth the drive to get there. The prices are really good as well.
I was able to track down a Dallas office cleaning business for my cousin. Since he is starting his own practice and needs someone reputable to come in and clean the doctors office every night, I had to find one for him. He has been so busy trying to get everything ready to open the doors, that he almost forgot to get the cleaning crew.
This particular company uses an environmentally green clean method that is really good and makes sure everything is completely sterile. I am sure that he is going to be happy with their service as they came highly recommended.
I found some really Unique wedding favors for my friends wedding. There were little candy jar shaped salt and pepper shakers, little bird cages, a Cinderella carriage candle and so many more that it has become really difficult to choose. Some of them are practical things that can be used over and over. This is really cool because it gives the wedding guest a permanent memory that they can see almost daily. Whether it is a wine bottle stopper, stone coasters, salt and pepper shakers or something else. Every time the guest uses it, they recall the wedding and how much fun they had attending.
A lot of the favors are decorative. There are elegant, whimsical, silly, or just plain cute favors that will always bring a smile to the person who takes this favor home with them. I am really in awe at the genius of some of the favors that I have found. Anything that holds candy, is always a good choice. Everyone likes a sweet, and if you fill them with sugarless sweets, even those who are diabetic can enjoy them. You should always show consideration for people who have diabetes when choosing this particular favor. That way, no one feels left out. It is a good practice anyway.
There is a new trend for personal word of mouth marketing. If you have a business or brand to sell, then using social networks, blogging channels and such can get your product or service much more business. Facebook is a perfect example of word of mouth marketing. Every time you click the like button on something, your friends see it. If they have never heard of it before they get curious as to why you are “liking” it and viola’. You have another potential customer. I have been using this form of marketing for a long time now and highly recommend it.
I really love my child, but my son keeps losing his things. Somehow he managed to misplace his jacket at school, and this was not the first time that he did something like this either. He also managed to lose his shoes. How does a person lose their shoes? The answer to that question still escapes me to this day, and it really does not matter because it happened. What I need to do now is focus on trying to prevent him from losing his things. This is starting to get rather expensive!
I sat down and had a long drawn out talk with my son, but we all know how that goes. I am not even sure if he was listening to me. For some reason, kids seem to have this natural ability to tune their parents out. I don’t remember doing this to my parents, but I think I must have. It must be some kind of built in defense mechanism. Then it dawned on me. I needed to start using name labels for kids. This may not prevent my son from losing his things, but it certainly would make it a lot easier to find the items that he keeps losing.
With a label, I would not need to depend on my son to not lose his things. I could handle every single bit of it myself, and all I needed was something as simple as a label. So now it was up to me to find a label that I could use to label everything that my son owned. I had a plan.
Luckily I did not have to look very far. I found stuck on you and labelcity.com. They had a wide assortment of great labels that I could choose from. Now it was only a matter of getting a bunch of labels and adding the everything that my son owned.
My best friend has to check out the dental practice valuation of two practices that are being sold. The dentists are retiring and ready to sell. It is her job to find out what the over all value is for each business before a price can be set for them. She has a lot of stuff to take into consideration with each business, so they can get a fair market value. The amount of patients the doctor has, their management, fees, reputation, and location are all important. There are other thing as well, but you get the general idea. I think her job is pretty interesting. I wouldn’t mind doing something like that myself. Who knows, maybe I will change careers.
If you are looking to get unsecured business lines of credit, you should research well before committing to anything. There are a lot of pitfalls a business owner can fall into if they do not gather information first and weight their options. It is always a good idea to talk to either an attorney or someone from the SBA. There are lots of people who are more then willing to help small business owners out. I have gone through this process with my brother before and it was confusing at first. After a bit of research, we were able to figure it out and wade our way through it well enough.
The Wedding invitations had to be re ordered. We apparently made a mistake when we gave them the information that was supposed to be on them. As it was our mistake, we will have to pay for new ones, but not all of them. Someone at the printing company noticed the mistake and stopped the printing before half of them were done. They saved a lot of money for the wedding budget by being attentive to their job.
We decided to send a thank you to the employee who is on his toes. We are sending a nice gift basket of cheeses and meats to show our appreciation. It is only the right thing to do.
If you are looking for a web hosting/domain name provider, you can get some really great deals like this fatcow coupon . I frequently help others to find great deals like this. You can get a free trial, or if you are already dedicated to your pursuit, there is coupons for sixty five percent off web hosting. That is a really good deal. Web hosting is really simple to find, but a good service that is worry free, is not. I have always been one to do in depth searches for good deals and have no trouble finding them. Fat Cow is a really good company with many satisfied customers.
The fatcow promo that is going on right now, is one of the best I have seen lately. If I didn’t already have my site, I would definitely use them. They have all the latest technology and you can get a credit to use for Face Book, Google, Yahoo, or Bing ads. I also found that they offer free Yellow Page.com listings with their packages. Now that is a real deal. For those who are starting a business page, there is also an offer of a 1-800 number for your business. I have never seen a company offer that before.
Fat Cow has a live chat option, in case you need some help with something. I know that comes in handy for those who are not very technologically handy. The do it yourself has a lot of people out there trying to keep up with growing technology and now they don’t have to flounder alone. Help is just a click away. So if you intend to start your own business page and need to know where to look, you now have all the information you need. The best of luck with your endeavours.
I continue to be amazed at how much information we have available at our fingertips. I am helping a Doctor friend of mine who lives overseas do some research on Management courses she needs to take. She was going crazy trying to do the research herself considering her busy schedule. Luckily, I can help her from this side of the Pond. It didn’t take many searches to find the first class she needed information on. It was the GP Exam.
On the same web page, I also found information on the GP Application which is the first step of the program. There is more information on gp recruitment and gpst stage 3.
I have found this topic fascinating, they even have courses on Time Management and Personal Effectiveness, both issues I could certainly use help with! I may never get to the UK but my laptop allows me to feel as if I can travel to any country instantly and research whatever i’d like.
Now, I’ll email my friend with the information I found so she can look into it when she has time.
