Something Cool

Something is getting popular now a days with all kinds of folks are having business cards printed up so that you can distribute them to who ever you choose to give them to. And with an offer such as “Free Business Cards” you can bet that my oldest daughter is ready to order.

She found a website called unlimitedbusinesscards.com and they advertise unlimited supply of free business cards AND free shipping.  You have to register to get access to the site which takes a few minutes but so many sites require this that you can practically do it in your sleep!

It seems that they can afford to offer these free because advertisers pay them to have their ads on the back of the free business cards, what a cool idea. They are what I call “Killing 2 birds with one stone”. It is an interesting proposition that they offer: After you fill out the form, your business card will become a product that our advertisers can choose to advertise on. Once we get 3 advertisers to advertise on your business card we will email you a link that you can use to upload your artwork or design your business card online choosing from over 13,000 templates. And they want you to agree to distribute all of your cards in a years time – interesting.

I actually registered and put in an order for some cards for Hubby to use and we will see how it goes from there, after we check them out I will allow our daughter to order some, free is a good amount to pay – I’m sure you would agree.

Hubby Cleans Up Real Nice!

Even though Hubby is a “Blue collar worker” and his wardrobe consists mainly of tee shirts and jeans with a few Khakis and sweatshirts thrown in, he does have a few nice clothes but I have decided that it is now time for it to have an much needed upgrade, cause Hubby does clean up real nice!

I want to purchase by going online from a website – upscalemenswear.com that has gotten my attention, it’s by a company by the name of Upscale Menswear that is located in  Atlanta, Georgia, but thankfully they have made it possible to buy from them the most unique, colors and styles from brand names like Steve Harvey, Romano Fiesso and Robert Wayne, some wonderful hi-fashion suits and designer shoes  like the ones that are always seen and worn in Hollywood and New york, but are offered at realistic prices, without having to take the long drive by use of the good old Internet! I think that I will enjoy this.

Online Banking Solutions

Well the “Pink Stuff” was hit at my sister’s house this afternoon, we had a nice time with the dozen or so of the family that were able to attend, my eldest daughter decided to go with me at the last minute, which was nice. We really had a nice time during the drive down, listening to music and laughing together. I had her drive because she still doesn’t know the way to her aunt’s house enough to get there by herself if need be some time, she is a good driver and it gives me time to look around at the scenery for a change instead of focusing on the road and traffic and such.

One of my brother’s came with his wife that is such a doll, we don’t get to see her very often so I made sure and took the time to visit and chat with her as much as I could. She caught me up to date with her attempt of starting up her own business that is keeping her super busy and worn out physically and mentally. She is working with a company called Northern Trust that she hooked up with on the Internet, that has assigned her a financial advisor that she thinks very highly of and is trusting him to guide her in these important financial decisions in the opening her very own florist boutique.

All of the paperwork involved is tremendous so she is happy doing the majority of their business online and has even started up her business checking account and is talking about retirement plans already with her personal “Relationship Manager” from Northern Trust.

It is good to see her so excited and up beat about the whole thing and is keeping a sense of humor and I hope that it all works out well for her. It will be great to be related to a florist.

Niece Is Doing Great In Texas

Uplogix is headquartered in Austin, TX and my niece has just landed a position as an office secretary with the option of being promoted if interested and qualified in a short time frame, it is a growing company and urges their employee’s to grow with them. Since she has moved from home a few years ago and ended up in the great state of Texas, she seems to be flourishing, I hear nothing but good positive things about this young lady that I miss terribly since she has moved so far away. She and I were very close during her childhood, I am her favorite aunt and I adore her as if she was my own.

She always did great in school, almost a straight A student and very knowledgeable about computers and various other technical stuff that I have absolutely no knowledge of what so ever. I always knew that she would be an independent women who would go far and make a difference in this wacky world.

So now it seems that she is working at a company that deals with Solaris security and she proudly sent me the link to their websire  where I have learned that they are revolutionizing remote management they work by combining the localized control and survivable connectivity of a console server with the intelligence of an enterprise software solution, which in turn delivers you secure management.

Boy do I feel under qualified when I was cruising through their very technical site, I’m sure my niece will fit in perfectly there and they are very fortunate to have her, she is eager to learn and eager to live, I hope that they treat each other well and with respect due.

Awesome gift giving idea – Hot Air Balloon Rides

I have always had an interest in Hot Air Balloons, I have several hot air balloon figures and paintings around the house. Hubby and I just missed an opportunity to purchase a genuine one for a very low price years ago and have kicked ourselves in the rear several times since than. Hot Air Balloon Rides are not as rare as they were back then either, now a days there seem to be Hot Air Balloon festival and events in almost every state somewhere.

During the summer and autumn months is when you get expect to see the majority of balloons in the air and I love it when at certain  times we can even see one or two when we are out and enjoying the backyard.

There is a website that my parents sent me called www.xperiencedays.com and they have listings and listings of adventures for sale. Interesting and fun ideas for you to experience ranging from cruises, horseback riding, air combat, drag racing, hang gliding and tons more of the coolest ways to have fun or relax. Every package is designed for the first timer which is a major plus! My parents are thinking of giving us a gift certificate that can be used to attend my dream of taking a ride in a hot air balloon at a place that is locating very near to were they have moved to in Florida, since retirement. I’ve got to tell mom that this is a great idea and I love the website that she sent me and will share it with many others I’m sure.

I am definitely going to bookmark this site for further investigation and use.

An Email Hint From My Mother

My mother has been trying to talk Hubby and I into starting our own business for a few years now. She insists that we will get nowhere if we are working our butts off to line someone else’s pocket in the interim.

She sent me an email with some pretty interesting franchise information from a website called www.redhotfranchises.com, I must say they have a huge selection of business opportunities listed for review. Every kind of franchise you could imagine.

I did look it over and there are many that I find appealing but honestly I don’t think Hubby and I have the energy needed to start up something at this time. We still have our hand’s full with the kids and all of their needs seem to take up the majority of our time right now. But who is to say what the future has in mind for us, maybe one day we will take mom’s advice, but not this day. Right now my main concern is getting through the holidays and the start of a brand new year.

Thrift Stores Are The Way To Go For Winter Clothes

Each winter, no matter how hard I try and get the whole family prepared and outfitted for the nasty cold weather that we have to deal with, some one needs something. So tomorrow I’m heading out the door to the new A.S.P.C.A. Thrift Store that recently opened up here in town to pick up a few things. Going to look for some nice warm water proof boots for myself, my old ones just don’t cut it anymore and I don’t want to spend a lot of $$$.

I got a coupon in the mail for this new second hand store that benefits all the local animal population in so many ways, as you may know by now that coupons and I like each other.

My Brother and His Brood

My eldest brother who lives in the beautiful up state New York along with his second wife and their large brood of children, 5 all together, you know the typical, his, mine and ours kind of family. Hard times seem to be hitting all kinds of people all over, I had the impression that things were going fairly well with them until my mother filled me in otherwise.

He had sent her an email letting her and Dad know that they were going to file bankruptcy and have hired a well known New York bankruptcy lawyer services firm that came highly recommended by his manager at the company where he and his wife both work.

I hope big brother and his family will get through this all right, I worry about him sometimes, but that is what sisters do, at least ours do.

The Task Of Ordering Machine Handles Online

The days of running all over town, and sometimes needing to go to neighboring towns, to find items that are so easy to order Online such as the machine handles that Hubby is needing. It is worth waiting a few days for the items to arrive at our door and ready to go.  It took all of 7 minutes to find the perfect handles and they should be here in time for him to get what he needs to do with them.

Now I can move on to other tasks that need to be tackled. My “To Do List” is never ending and always changing. And to  think that the Christmas season is looming straight ahead at us. Actually I just looked up how long before Christmas comes and it tells me it is 77 more sleeps, which equals ten weeks. OMG, makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

Brigade Offers Many Unique Products

Hubby love his knives, all kinds of knives, between he and his Dad they must have over a thousand of them, must be a “guy thing.” I must admit that some of them are pretty spectacular and I have learned quiet a lot about them since being exposed to them as much as I am.

Before Hubby about the only knife that I had heard of and knew anything about was the Ka-Bar, my brothers were always talking about their Ka-Bar knives when we were kids.

Since Christmas is coming sooner rather than later I thought that I could find a nice knife or two to give to Hubby and plus my Dad, of course, for their gifts this year. My brother recommended going to a web-site of www.brigadeqm.com, he tells me that Brigade Quartermasters is a leading online retailer of outdoor, law enforcement, and military gear, and since I have turned to shopping on-line, for the most part, I did check out the site and found several items that would be appropriate as gifts for them before I even got to the knife section!
