Locating The Right Raleigh Air Conditioning

We can only hope that the Raleigh air conditioning company that my sister contacted can come out quickly and get the job done in a timely fashion. This heat wave is getting totally unbearable for most of us, with no end in sight. My goodness it is only the middle of June and we are having extreme weather that is unhealthy for a good amount of folks around here. I can’t image not having air conditioning through this whole ordeal.

Since sis doesn’t know may people in the area that she just moved to she had to rely on the Internet to find someone to come to her rescue. It didn’t take long for her to find someone, I really hope it all works out well for all concerned.

The Jetson’s Got That Right!

Today’s technology is really making things happen, we aren’t quite up to speed with what the “Jetson’s” portrayed the 21st century to be, but they certainly hit the nail on the head with so many things that it is uncanny to watch this show that is still on some of the cartoon channels that I get with my satellite programming package.

On thing that has become a reality is the video conferencing services , we became accustomed to seeing his boss, Mr. Beasley coming onto the home monitor to speak with George Jetson at any given time. That certainly was something that no one thought would be a reality any time soon, oh how little did we know.

Today we have the convenience of web and video conferencing at our disposal, thanks to the Internet and all it has to offer us all. One only has to launch their web browser and click on a link. No more waiting to get people in the same place at the same time, in a matter of minutes you can get on with your business at hand and get the job done with so much less hassle and expense.

Since webcams have become much more affordable and access to the Internet so main streamed, any business can have the ability to teleconference. This has become a much less complicated process that now allows anyone to start holding a secure online conference to use as a great communication tool.

Now I can’t wait to see when cars start flying as they pictured them doing on The Jetson’s!

Recycling, It’s All Good

At my last job they gave me a POS laptop and printer. For being an executive at that company, I sure wasn’t treated like one. I felt like the red headed stepchild. Got out of there in 6 months flat – long enough to make a decent stab at it for the resume, plus a nice little paycheck. But the boss was a jerk and the company was going down the tank, so I got out of there. But a little bonus from that was that the POS printer is actually perfect for this freelance job I’m doing. The HP1020 Laserjet prints fast and cheap and it never jams. It’s a real workhorse for under $100, and the toner cartridges, which cost about $60 each retail, can be picked up at the recycling store for only $45.

The recycled cartridges don’t print as dark a black, but that doesn’t matter for the reports I crank out. I’ve been using 2 recycled cartridges every month for a year and have not had any issues at all – knock on wood. And I’ve saved about $30 per month, so if you need a cheap reliable printer that uses recycled cartridges well, try to grab this one up.

If I like anything, it’s the kiss of death. It is sure to be discontinued soon.

Sitcoms and Other Comedy TV Show Behaviors

I can’t believe that I had not noticed before how most of the sitcoms and other “comedy” TV shows are mainly about deception in one form or another. Next time you get the chance to watch any of these shows pay attention and you will see what I mean. They are filled with lying, trickery, arguments and deceit from beginning to end. It makes to sad to think that we are all watching these shows and being entertained by such bad and rude behavior that is becoming so very abundant in today’s world.

Affordable Fender Amps Verified

It’s always gratifying to see that you made a good decision on some of the items/gifts that you have managed to purchase just a few months ago. Like the fender amps that I took such a good amount of time researching all kinds of the various affordable fender amps out there and basically crossing my fingers that I had made a good choice. I didn’t buy the cheapest nor did I dish out the cash for the most expensive top-of-the-line one either. In the long run, you do get what you pay for, more often time than not. So I try to go somewhere in the middle if at all possible

So while waiting for dinner to finish up last night I was do just a bit of looking around and saw that the price that I paid for the fender amps back in late October were indeed a good deal. Which surprises me considering how right now is a good time to get deals with all the summer sales that are still going strong and of course the 4th of July is right around the corner which is a good time for them to get rid as much as last years items as they can. A crazy time for the good folks in retail.

Good Money In Translating

It seems to me that any type of legal translation services (off or online) would be welcomed all across the country. With so many people traveling as much as they do these days and so many languages being spoken ( estimated to be between 5 and 6 thousand) there is certainly a great need to be able to communicate.

With this in mind I certainly wish that I had buckled down more in school and taken more languages classes. I did take 7th grade Spanish, twice. Once in 7th grade and then again in summer school because my mother didn’t have day care for me during the summer months so I had to take Typing and Spanish that summer. I can type really good, but as far as the Spanish that is a whole other ballgame.

It very well could be that I would have been making some pretty decent money at this time of my life. The Spanish language is widely used in so many areas of the world, or at least some type of Latin based language. I can muddle through a bit with many Hispanic people that I run across during my daily life, but to be able to hold a decent conversation, much less translate, no can do.

Jerky Dog Treats

Every once in a while a product that’s been on the shelves for a long time but never got your attention before will suddenly grab your attention and end up in your shopping cart. Sometimes it is placement on the store shelves that moves and you realize you are out of your routine. Sometimes it is new packaging, such as brighter colors on the box design or change from a box to a resealable bag. Sometimes it must be a mental response to a commercial or even subliminal advertising. Well, whatever the reason, today I noticed a bag of chicken jerky in the aisle for dog treats. It seemed to be a good sized bag with multiple treats inside, so I decided on a lark to buy a bag and see if my dog likes them. We haven’t broken into the bag yet but I’ll let you know if they are a hit or a miss.

Wedding Bands For Women

A few months ago my dear friend Russel called me shortly after my arrival home from work, and he wanted me to meet his girlfriend he thinks is “the one” and wanted to see if they could possibly come visit us for a few days to visit not only the kids and I, but his girlfriends parents live only a few blocks from me so they also wanted to meet my friend Russel. Shortly after both Russel and his girlfriend arrived his girlfriend got pulled on my daughters room by of course my daughter who wanted to show her everything  LOL!

It was then that Russel admitted to me that he’s going to ask her to marry him a few days after meeting her parents and he needed help finding an engagement and wedding ring. I told him we could search for one later on that night after his girlfriend and my kids went to sleep. We stayed up all night looking for the perfect rings and he decided to go the smart shopping and found wedding bands for women on an awesome website that offered beautiful rings for unbelievable prices that wanna make you sing. After ordering the perfect ring he is so confident and is do excited about the day he asks. I’m so happy I got to meet Russel’s girlfriend,  and so happy to help my dear friend Russel find the perfect ring for the perfect woman.

No Nonsense Please……………..

Zenni Optical has been in business for quite some time. I know several people that have used them and have been very pleased with their service, their prices and their eye wear that they have to offer the general public. I guess the other retailers of eye wear have got their nose out of joint and are starting to come down on businesses like Zenni Optical who make it easier for us to afford and purchase all types of glasses at deep discounted prices.

There is no reason we should have to spend a ton of money to get eyeglasses that most of us end up having to wear at some point in our life time. Times are hard enough as it is, with the economy in the toilet and all. It really bugs me when businesses try and stick it to us with outrageous mark ups that they feel are justified. What a bunch of nonsense. It seems that now there are eye doctors that are not willing to provide their patients with the much needed information that is needed in order to order glasses. What a scam, I’m glad that my eye doctor wouldn’t dream of pulling that type of nonsense on his patients.

Business Card Printing For Everyone

It is so cute to see how my kid sister is handing out her newly designed and printed business cards to anyone that will take one. You see, she is a stay-at-home mom that was blessed with a set of twin boys, Terry and Jerry. She used to be a working woman and is having a hard time adjusting to the transition of becoming mother.

Just about every day that it isn’t raining or snowing, sis takes the boys to the park where there are a lot of other moms and dads networking amongst themselves while watching their kid(s) on the playground day after day. It seems that the business card printing industry is a big deal for these dedicated parents to hand out with all of their contact information to the other adults that they run into during their day.
