Questions About Bluetooth

These days online shopping is fast becoming the way to go, I love being able to stay at home and look around on the Internet much more than driving somewhere and dealing with the public, going from store to store and getting lousy customer service on top it all. Give me my PC and let my fingers do all of the work any day. I have decided that it is time that I jump on the band wagon of owning and using the Bluetooth headsets that you see people wearing all of the time these days, it seems to be the norm now to see a person walking by themselves and carrying on a conversation with what appears to be themselves, since they are not talking into a visible cell phone or with another person. Although sometimes I still find myself startled at times when someone starts talking right beside or behind me on those things.

I have been asking a few people that I know a few questions about their experiences with their Bluetooth headsets and for the most part I am hearing good things about them. And they are always coming up with new technology and great ideas that are keeping people coming back for more.  I understand that their Plantronics Headsets are a great way to go, they are so light weight that there is no discomfort involved as was with some of the older models when the first came out. I was told about a great online company that does have a web-site that you can order off of, that has a great selection of these lightweight models, that goes by the name of MobileBloc.net, and are affiliated with Skype, and after looking around at a few other places, I have decided to go ahead and order from them. They offer payment from PayPal which is a feature that I like and wish more companies would accept from them, I use my PayPal a lot.

Good Friends

I used to be good friends with a gal that worked for an insurance company as a claims representative. She was such a lively person, full of energy and life, I miss her and want to try and find her on the computer somehow. I used to love hearing all the stories that she would tell about the customers that she dealt with each and every day and how they’re acted to a female claims rep in a male dominated world.  Not only did I enjoy hearing her stories, but she also got me hooked up with the best van insurance that money could buy and I’m grateful for that.

I have had to submit a few claims from time to time, always hoping that she would be assigned my claim, but was always happy with the service by the claims rep that did receive my claim. It has been a few years, I was told back then that she was still with the company, sure would love to hear from her again. I’m sure she has some new funny stories to tell me and we have a lot to catch up on. Gonna have to work on finding her soon, I think I’ll start with looking on Facebook which seems to be the best way to find people these days.

Barcoding Equipment

A few neighbors and I have been discussing the problem of items being taken from our yards lately. This past year it has been happening more and more to most folks up and down our street. This is a serious issue right now I am seriously thinking of placing security cameras around my place and see if they seem to do any good or not. I know of a company by the name of Barcode Discount that I have had experience with in the past that deals with a lot of barcode items like barcode software and equipment, from a place that I worked at several years ago.

After leaving that company I looked to see if they had put up a web site as of yet and was pleased to see that they do and that not only do they sell barcoding equipment they also have a nice line of security cameras that I plan on checking out to see if they would be suitable for my needs here at the house. They were nice people at Barcode Discount and I wouldn’t mind giving them some of my personal business.

Boot Style Slippers

I have never asked for slippers as a Christmas gift in my whole life, but this year they are on the top of my wish list. Since removing the wall-to-wall carpet from the entire main level of my home, I have noticed that the bare wood is extremely cold and I’m tired of wearing just my socks, as they tend to get dirty quickly and that is just gross and wrong.  I have a pair of slippers but they are so old that a nice new warm pair of the boot style slippers would make me a very happy camper this year. I wonder if they slippers with little heaters on them, that would be awesome. I’ve seen them with flash lights on them before, pretty crazy if you ask me. But what ever works for you!

If I don’t get a pair on Christmas morning I’m sure I’ll be receiving a few gift cards here and there that I will be able to use to buy some. The after Christmas sales are a great time to get things at great discount prices. It’s my favorite time of the year to shop. Too bad I’m usually way too broke, but those wonderful gift cards do come in handy after Christmas.

Way Too Practical For Bling These Days

The last couple of chicks that I know that have gotten themselves engaged and are now sporting a nice sized diamond ring for all the world to see how much their fiance has spent on them in order to show/prove their love for them. I have never had much interest in having a big rock on my finger, guess I’m just way too practical for that type of adornment. I’d rather have my rent paid, my car running and groceries in the house and maybe a couple of bucks in my savings account for emergency situations.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a typical woman that likes a bit of Bling to adorn my body with, but these days I just think that there are more important things to spend that much money on.

Dirty Money

Thought FOR THE DAY

I’m just passing this thought along …..

Have you ever wondered if the one dollar bills in your wallet were ever in a strippers’s G-string or possibly in some bums shoe?

If not, you’re wondering now.

Have a nice day .

 

oh-shit

Do It All By Myself

It’s a well known fact that people are fixing up their homes rather than buying new ones. The fact that people can spend up to $20,000 on new kitchen cabinets just blows my mind considering how bad the economy still is. But there are people out there that are doing just that. Myself I am looking at a rta cabinet project. RTA stands for Ready To Assemble for those not familiar with some of the dyi terms. DYI stands for Do It Yourself.

I have a lot to research, and a lot to learn, but I enjoy working with my hands and learning new things and new tools, so it may take a bit longer than “normal” but I’ll get it done. And if I need some help or guidance along the way I have a few friends that I can turn to, but I really want to diabm, as much as possible. DIABM stands for Do It All By Myself.

Cheap Sun Glasses

I went to the Flea Market on Sunday, the rains finally stopped and the sun was shining and the place was packed with vendors and customers as well. There was a dealer selling sun glasses for $12 or two for $20, so I found two pairs that I think look good and walked away a happy camper.

Email Marketing Options

Was reading an interesting blog post about email marketing that my sister sent to me in a link on Facebook. As I have mentioned we are in the process of starting our own small family run and owned business and we are looking at various marketing options. The Yellow Pages are out of the question, it’s all about the Internet these days and those advertising options are a whole new ballpark for us. We have a lot to figure out, but we have plenty of time and aren’t going to rush into anything, baby steps, we want to do this thing right the first time.

Restaurant Equipment

When I was much younger I entertained the though of becoming a professional cook, owning and running my own small and quaint restaurant or maybe a bed and breakfast even. I still love to cook but have come to realize that a love to cook isn’t the only thing you need to be able to run a successful restaurant these days. But I do find myself at times looking at restaurants with a different eye then the normal customer, and I really love looking at various and interesting restaurant equipment at RapidsWholesale.com, a girl can still dream can’t she?
