Slippers

Life is an unending story. It does have a few exceptions though. One exception is my slippers. They have seen better days and need to be replaced. One has a hole in it and the other is falling apart. They must have a particular smell as even my dog won’t chew them anymore.

I went to the internet to find another pair. Shopping for slippers is not a lot of fun, but it needed to be done. I found a pair I liked and ordered them right away. I wish everything was so easy.

Hot Yoga

Guest post written by my buddy Keith Kramer

Over the past couple of months, I have picked up a new physical activity, hot yoga. I have practiced on and off for about a year, but it’s not until recently that I have consistently gone twice a week. I will admit that sometimes it’s hard to pry myself from in front of my Direct TV and go, but once I’m there, I’m so happy I did. I have tried other kinds of yoga in the past, but the problem is that since I am not naturally flexible, I don’t get as much out of it. With hot yoga, the room is heated between 95 and 100 degrees, which allows my body to bend a little better. I go to two different studios because they both offer $5 classes at various times throughout the day. One studio has more morning classes available and one has more evening and weekend. Conveniently, the studio that is closest to my house has the morning classes. It is way too expensive to actually have a monthly membership, so I’m happy that these classes are an option. I find them much better than any yoga classes that I have taken at my gym.

Plumbing woes

I found out the other day that the drain under my kitchen sink was leaking. While the problem was more like a slow drip than a leak, I was still concerned. I went to the local hardware store to find a solution. I was glad that I ran into a salesperson that knew what I was talking about.

The salesperson helped me find the replacement parts I needed. I took them home and found that it was easy to install. The problem is now fixed and I am grateful that at least there are a few people who know what they are talking about.

Road trip

I recently went on a road trip to visit some old friends of mine. Their names are skip and Barbara and they live on a farm in central Virginia. While I know how to get there fairly well, (I have been there before). It can be a difficult place to find. They live on a gravel road and they always tell me to look for a red fence. The problem is that there are many red fences in the area.

I mentioned to Skip that he might want to consider getting some personalized address plaques for his home. It would be so much easier to know for sure where to turn. I found a site online that has many residential address plaques for sale. They are fairly cheap and make a nice addition to any location. Allowing visitors to your home to find it easily will make everyone happy.

Skip was glad for the advice and said that he would look into the situation right away. His wife Barbara also liked the idea. they seemed to decide that the bronze address plaques would be best for them. I rest assured that the next time I visit them I will be able to find them without a problem. This makes a lot of difference even though it is a small improvement. I wish everything was as easy as this.

Should we shut down the nukes?

The country of Japan is in turmoil. After the tsunami of last year when some nuclear plants were inundated there has been much debate. The government is now planning to force some nuclear plants to shut down after a period of 40 years. They are saying the plants are not as safe as they once were. Some though, have a different opinion.

Extensions to the plan may be in order. If the nuclear plants can prove that they are still safe, they may be allowed to keep operating. The demands on power use are influencing this decision as millions of power customers still need lights and heating. We will have to see how the government of Japan handles this situation.

Maximize

One thing about the internet is that it is always changing. I remember when it first started for me and it has come a long way since then. I was just growing up when it started. It seems that every day there is a new company who is trying to take over the circus we call search engines. There is fierce competition between the companies and it can be difficult to know how to proceed if you are trying to improve your stats with a local search optimization company. That’s why it pays to take a few days and weigh the pros and cons of each company.

While I do not claim to be an expert by any means, I have done a fair amount of research on the subject. I believe that there are many people who are looking to advance the progress of their small business marketing. After all, the best way to improve your sales is to get the widest variety of customers. No one will buy from you if they do not know you are in business. There are many ways to do so and there are some people who can help you with this.

Anytime you go onto the internet and do a local search, there are a number of factors that are involved. The page rank of your site plays an important role in this. Making sure that your site is optimized for this is critical. You have to be sure that your site is continuously updated and is easily found by the various search engines. I would highly recommend that you find a company that has experience in making sure your site is high on the list of being used by other people. The internet can be tricky but there are those who know the ins and outs of the business. All you have to do is a little research.

Giant fish sales

The Japanese have been well known for their love of fish. This is especially true when it comes to the taste of tuna. They have proven their love of tuna when a Japanese businessman paid a record price of $ 750,000 dollars for a prized blue fin tuna. He plans to sell the fish to the customers at his restaurant.

The tuna weighed in at a weight of 592 pounds. The owner of the fish says it is perfect with just the right amount of fat and that the color is very good. I guess time will tell and we will see whether or not the tuna pays off.

Great ideas

There are many opportunities in life when you are trying to make money. A friend of mine is trying to do this and he is making good money. He started a webpage to try and sell fishing lures and he was getting nowhere. That’s when he discovered a new way to get the word out about his website. He used a site from the internet that could help him.

The site is called Blue Global Media and it helps him spread the word about his site. He uses the internet power of hundreds of people to reach new customers. The way this is done is by using what is called an international affiliate network. This is when people link to his site and help him produce the sales he needs to keep his operation running. It is working great so far.

He has hundreds of people who help him link his site as a payday affiliate. He can relax knowing that while he is asleep, his website is operating at full swing. He is doing very well now and hopes to cash in on his success. I am rooting for him and hope he does very well. I am sure he will and wish that I had the same idea before he did.
