AMS Fulfillment

The Internet has become such a valuable tool to learn just about everything about anything. Kids these days have it made when it comes to doing research for school homework and all the assignments that they are told to do. Back when I was a kid we had to rely on the old set of encyclopedias that are parents had on the bookshelf in the living room. And of course we spent many evenings and weekends at the local library that was always full of other students doing the exact same thing. I can’t even imagine how it would have been if we had the World Wide Web back then.

Today I was looking at an interesting website at http://www.amsfulfillment.com. AMS, so I learned, is one of the leading third party fulfillment service company that has a lot to offer today’s fast past companies that need a reliable product fulfillment service. They are located in the southern part of California, which is a very busy and rapidly growing part of the country that can totally provide services like this for businesses all over the country.

I wonder what company I will found out about tomorrow online! I can’t wait to go back to college and learn so many things that I didn’t take the time to learn back in the day when I was just interested in boys and how to get out of going to class to go have fun with all of my friends.

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.

Interesting Tick Removal Trick

Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. This technique has worked every time I’ve used it (and that was frequently), and it’s much less traumatic and easier for me. Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can’t see that this would be damaging in any way. I even had a nieghbor call me for advice because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn’t reach it with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say, ‘It worked!’

Please pass on. Everyone needs this helpful hint.

Offerings of Good Drums

My sister and my niece have been staying with me for a few months now since it is more logical due to the financial crisis we both are experiencing. I only have a 2 bedroom home so my sister and I ended up making the garage into a play area or hangout area for my niece, since she has been asking about having her own space.

When we finished it up, we talked about purchasing some good dynasty drums for her to play around with since her old drum set was ruined by their dog at their previous home. I searched around on the net to see what I could find and that was suitable for her and our pockets. I came across a really cool site that offered good dynasty drums for an unbelievable prices, and was excited for my sister to see. When I finally got her to sit down and take a look, she was amazed at the prices and immediately ordered one we both thought she would enjoy.

In no time it had arrived at the house and was ready for us to set up in my nieces new hang out room. When my niece had come home from school she walked into the garage and was shocked and ran over to the drum set and immediately took to it. She is enjoying her new drum set and hang out room to the fullest. I couldn’t be any happier or more thrilled and I know my sister and niece are too without question.

Beauty Salon Equipment Supplies By Elegans

Next week will be a great week if the weather could only cooperate a bit more. The kids will be out of school for their spring break and we are all piling into the car and heading down to North Carolina to spend some time with Judy and her kids. Judy and I have been very close friends since the fourth grade. Even though she moved down south, an eight hour drive from here, we have managed to keep in close contact with each other using our cell phones and of course there is always email and Facebook that we can rely on to communicate with each other.

Judy is in the process of opening up her own beauty salon. It will be good to be right there with her to get a good look at all of the things that she has been telling me about. Finding the right beauty equipment for sale has been a challenge for her. She is lucky that her mother lives less than 5 miles away and used to work as a beautician before they moved down there. I have always been envious of their close mother/daughter relationship. My mother and I rarely talk. I can’t imagine my mother just randomly coming over to the house and just hang out for the day. With her it still requires an invitation and it takes hours to get the place cleaned up before she is scheduled to arrive.

Anyway it looks like she has decided on the salon equipment sydney that she found online with the link that I found and sent her a few weeks ago. That makes me feel good to have been able to contribute to her new goal, even living so far away from each other. Watch out North Carolina, here we come!

Online Schools The New Educational Concept

I keep hearing how the economy is getting better, but I have to tell you that I don’t know anyone who would know it. People are still losing their jobs, their houses, their retirement money and having to sell off anything that they can live without. The number of cars, trucks, motorcycles, jet skis, campers, trailers, heavy equipment that are up for sale at the end of every other drive way and parked in plenty of fields and parking lots is still on the increase. Things are not getting any better, I can tell you that.

I do understand that more people are flocking to colleges and universities to further their education in an attempt to get into a better field that are promising a better future for many people. The amount of online schools are on the increase and I’m thinking that it may be a good idea for me to check out some of the offers that I’m seeing and hearing about. I’ve really never been a fan of education, I hated school, but if I want to get ahead in life it just makes sense to do something about it and the time is right for that right now.

I’ve been looking at the classesandcareers.com website that I’ve located and it looks like it might be something that I can sink my teeth into. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

Dollars and Sense

My brother-in-law is currently dabbling here and there with Stock Trading.  At dinner last night at my parent’s house the conversation was mainly concerning Online Trading, Mobile Trading and IRA Accounts. I have to tell you that most of it was way over my head. I’m surprised to find that I really don’t know all that much about the Stock Market and all of this economic business, so I’m happy to be learning about all this Online Broker business through him, he is a good guy with a good head on his shoulders.

My sister and he have been married since high school, over 20 years now and they have managed to do quite well for themselves even with the economy in such turmoil as it has been the past few years. So I’m inclined to trust him to a certain extent and am thinking about entrusting him with some of my savings to see if he can make me some much needed money. My parents are contemplating the same thing, so I hope it all goes well. If things go sour there would be much hell to pay and I’d hate to see anything come between family members and their money.

College Grants and Scholarships

My sister’s youngest son is heading on for college soon and her life is jammed full of researching colleges on the Internet and the endless filling out of forms.  She was telling me of a web site that provides free access to an extensive list of grants & college scholarship opportunities that she uses.  Our teenager and I will be confronted with the same challenges soon, that is if she makes it out of High School and believe me sometimes I really wonder.

She isn’t still 100% sure of what she wants to do with her life and I am sure there are numerous kids out there that are in the same boat.  It seems the majority of them want to become famous celebrities with lots of spending money.  So we aren’t even sure what classes to check out and it sounds like the classes for becoming a rich Super Star are going to fill up quickly.  And of course money is a huge factor so we are definitely interested in college financial aid to help ease the strain on our already strained bank account.

Big sis really has been urging  me to start checking out the processes soon and she informed me about a website that she has been using a lot that has their college scholarships and grants database updated constantly and is user friendly, which is what I need.

I never went to college so this is a whole new ballgame to me.  I’m glad that my sister is dealing with it now so that she can assist us when the time comes.  Both my sisters excel at researching on the Web and I learn so much from them, as I always have in this crazy life of mine.  I’m so grateful for both of my sisters, I don’t know what I would do without either one of them and most of my brothers are pretty awesome also!

What Are You Wearing When You Are Learning Online?

I’m finding it to be true that more and more people are turning to furthering their education, because of the economy issues that have taken such a strong hold on the majority of us common folk and a good amount of them are doing this online at places like the Walden University. From what I can gather WaldenU.edu seems to be the first choice of so many folks that I personally know to be taking advantage of these online classes from the comfort of their own PC, leaving the decision of when and where they do their work completely up to them. Being able to be learning while still in your pajamas seems to be a adverting gimmick for online schools. This makes my warped mind wonder how many are learning in the nude!

I can’t help wonder if all of these people would be back sitting in a more formal classroom in order to keep their heads above water during these extremely rocky years if these online classes were not so readily available. I can only imagine how full and/or overflowing today’s classrooms would be if not for today’s technology making it so much easier to obtain this very important education that has become necessary for so many people to obtain in today’s very competitive world.

Marching Bands

While looking online at various musical instrument sites, trying to find a good deal on an electric guitar to get for my nephew for Christmas I came across some exquisite Atkinson french horns that brought back a flood of memories from my days back in high school. One of our favorite things to do was to go to the Friday night football games, man those were some extraordinarily good times. The half time celebration was always a blast. I knew a lot of the kids that were in the marching band that always played during this exciting half time. To this day I get goose bumps whenever I see or hear a marching band play like in a parade, or on TV or in a movie, or even on YouTube!

I am still on the look out for a good guitar and with Christmas only a couple of weeks away I’m starting to get a bit nervous about the whole ordeal. It’s a good thing that I got a lot of my Christmas shopping done way ahead of time.
