Online Music Buying Guides

If I have any options to review a product and/or service, you can bet that I will be utilizing every type(s) that I can get my hands on. It’s a whole new world out there. It’s amazing to think that we managed to live our lives without computers. At some point in the late 80’s we have become more and more reliant on what used to be referred to as the World Wide Web. I mean when is the last time you have even heard the words World Wide Web?

With all that the Internet has to offer almost all of us in the 21st century, it still surprises me that there are still some of our senior citizens who are bucking, kicking and screaming all the way to any computer who just can’t wrap their heads around even some of the most basic functions, even explaining all that they are missing by not using e-mail can’t entice some people to get on board.

My grandmother was a bit slow at getting used to the whole computer concept, but it didn’t take long once she starting realizing how useful it can be. One of the advantage that came into play during the holiday gift buying season. She actually took her time and checked out different acoustic guitars that she found at one of the major music websites that have just about anything that is musically related. It seems that a friend and neighbor told her about Musician’s Friend, which Grandma felt safe enough to go online, find a particular buying guide and actually ordered a wonderful guitar at a great price. Free shipping is always a plus when ordering anything online.

Laziness

I recently did a favor for some friends. The girls husband was adamant about wanting her to do something specific, but she is so lazy that I ended up having to do it for her and now he is angry with me. I am not doing favors for anyone else anymore. I refuse! This is total stupidity, kind of like shooting the messenger. I am so over it.

My advice to others, think very hard before you help others. It can backfire on you and you will end up feeling used and being angry yourself. Oh well, I am going to get over it and move on, but I doubt I will talk to either one of them for a very long time.

Bar Rescue on Spike TV

One of my favorite TV shows that are on these days is called Bar Rescue. It stars Jon Taffer, who has been in the bar rescuing business for many years and can brag that he has saved over 800 bars during this time.

Mr Taffer gets a bit upset with many of the bar owners, blasts them from one end of the room to the other, which breaks them down to get them to realize the errors of their ways. Then he spends the remainder of his time training, grooming and rebuilding their bar along with their confidence.

A good amount of these bars have dance floors but they don’t seem to attract many dancers. Poor sound systems that need an update along with a new sound reflector or two and some new decor can make or break a good dance club. I would love to visit at least one of his bars that he has redone, especially one of the ones that have dancing!

I hope that Bar Rescue manages to stay around for a good long while. It always seems that the good ones don’t stick around very long.

Wedding Dance Lessons Local

Personally I think that the people that are taking dance lessons to choreograph a dance for their wedding is totally awesome! The time, energy, dedication and expense says a lot about how dedicated they are for this relationship.

I was asked to consider taking wedding dance lessons santa monica by a good friend of mine that has asked me to help with her wedding day event. It didn’t take long for me to answer her with a “Heck Yeah!”

I should be able to schedule my days and nights in order to drive to the other side of town to a very well known choreographer that I have heard such good and positive feed back about. I love to dance and of course don’t make it to any dance floor much these past few years, so I really would enjoy the whole thing.

I just hope I can pick up the steps easy enough without to much hassle. Dancing by yourself is one thing but dancing to something that has been choreographed with several other people is a whole other ball game!

Durham Air Conditioning

The days that I could call my kid brother for my heating and/or air conditioning issues are unfortunately long gone. He discovered that he has a real talent with computers and he hasn’t had anything to do with anything else since.

So on the down side I have to locate and hire my own Durham air conditioning service when I need help. On the other hand I can always count on him to help me with my computers!

Going over the list

I have been going over the list of people who RSVP’d that they would be attending and I don’t believe we ordered enough wedding favors. There are lot more people accepting then we originally thought would accept. Of the two hundred and sixty invitations sent out, roughly two hundred and fifteen have accepted the invite. This is going to be a really big wedding, much larger then she had previously anticipated. We have been really surprised at how many people are going to fly in for the wedding. She has a large family and apparently so does the groom. I am going to wait out another week and then order more of the supplies that we are short on.

I will have everything taken care of in time for the wedding, of that I have no doubt. We have plenty of time to get everything sorted out. This may be a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun. I really like planning weddings. I should do this for a living. People who plan weddings for a living, make really good money. I have talked to a few of them about it and it is very competitive as well. One man wouldn’t even talk to me, because he said I was potential competition. I thought that was funny.

Unique Wedding Favors

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.

Wedding favors

As you all know, my boyfriend and I have been engaged for a while now. We just haven’t set a date because we are saving up money for the wedding. However, since I have been helping my friend plan hers, I decided that I should get an idea of what I want. As I go through the wedding favors we have chosen for hers, I have found a lot that I like as well. I am putting together a list of the favors I like the most, and when I start to do that actual planning, I will be ready. My boyfriend thinks this is a great idea and has decided to help me pick them out from the list when the time comes. That way I don’t have to make all of the decisions on my own.

Wine wedding favors

Oh these are really cool. They are Wine wedding favors that are wine stoppers with heart shapes at the top of them. They are really classy. There are several different styles, like the snow flake one, or the one that looks like a martini glass. I didn’t know that there were this kind of wedding favors available. I told you that I am obsessed with the wedding favors. I just keep finding all kinds of neat stuff. My kids think I am crazy because I keep looking through them, but I don’t mind. If I ever get married again, I will have a good idea of what I want for that wedding.

I already know that I would want an elegant wedding, not just your run of the mill one. I have so many ideas, that my daughter will be hard pressed when she grows up to be able to plan her own wedding without my interference. That sounds bad, but I mean it in a good way. After all, I am a mother and we only want what is best for our children. Nothing but the best is good enough for mine and I freely admit it. Okay, back to work. Later gators!

Wedding favors

Well the Wedding favors we picked out have to be changed, as well as a whole lot of other stuff. The entire theme was changed. This is very annoying. It wasn’t my friend, but her soon to be mother in law that threw a fit over the theme. I told her to ignore the mother in law, but she wants to keep the peace. That is starting a bad precedent, allowing his mother to throw a temper tantrum and force her to change her own wedding.

She is now going to have nothing but trouble from that woman, because she let her get away with it. She should have put her foot down and let her know that she will not cow tow to her over bearing behavior. I feel sorry for her.
