Lots of things on my mind….
In this heat it really sucks getting firewood ready to burn for the cold winter months that are ahead us shortly. With the price of electricity who the heck can afford to heat their homes with the rising costs involved. So I’m trying to be a bit pro active and getting what I can get done while I can.
Hand Blown Glass Art is something that I enjoy. In fact I used to know a guy that did this lost art form and purchased several beautiful pieces that he had for sale, years ago when I ran across him at the flea market unsuspectingly. He was setting up there for a few months and then he was up and gone again and who knows when I will run into him again. I would really like to continue buying pieces from him to add to the ones that I have sitting on display in the living room that I get so much enjoyment from and love showing off to people that come by for a visit. His pieces are that beautiful.
I ran across the website of Hand Blown Glass last night. If you have any respect for this glass blowing field you really should go to their site and take a look, these pieces are truly amazing and are decently priced and guaranteed to arrive in one piece or you get your money back 100%.
All of this rain is costing a fortune for so many good people, I’m sure the insurance companies are not at all happy with all of the claims that have been pouring in the past couple of months either. Cleaning and Restoration businesses have been experiencing a very good profitable year, and I hear that there is now a shortage of carpet drying fans austin texas area and these companies are scrambling for any type of fan that will help them during this extremely busy rainy season. This was the big topic of conversation at the Barber Shop early this morning. I couldn’t take another day of having my hair too long with the heat hitting us all ready this spring.
The Steam Team website is getting hit after hit after hit these days. A good website can make a big difference in today’s competitive world. The Steam Team has really expanded their cleaning services and are offering a large variety of other services as well that are listed online for online shoppers, much like myself. Word of mouth is still the best advertising, but the Internet has quickly climbed right up there and there is no excuse not to have a website if you are in any kind of business these days.
One of my biggest pet peeves is the spamming issue, this is something that is continuing to get worse and not better and I just have to get it off of my chest.
I am so sick and tired of getting all of these spammed messages every single day, that state “I didn’t agree with you first, but last paragraph makes sense for me…” especially when the post is absolutely not about anything that could be agreed or disagreed upon! These folks need to at least put some type of thought into their comments! At least take the time to actually read the postings and than make your comment relevant to it, it really is not that difficult to do.
Computers and the Internet have made things so much easier for us and it is has become for us all a huge time saver, it really bites to get bogged down with such trivial nonsense.
With the Nady HM-10U being marked down to such a decent price, as well as getting the headset without having to pay for shipping and handling, just makes sense to go ahead order it. My nephew has his 13th birthday coming up next month and I think, no I know, that he would be thrilled with this gift idea that I have managed to come up without having to do much asking around and/or digging.
I hope the look on his face when he opens this gift, will be an exciting one. Hopefully it will be a Kodak moment that could possibly be captured by someone with all the cell phones and iPads, that everyone has on their person most of the time.
Good that that the bass tabs aren’t as pricey as I first thought they would be. You see my sister’s youngest son, my nephew Jeff, is going to be celebrating his 16th birthday in the second week of July. We are throwing him a good sized party to celebrate the birthday of all birthdays.
Sixteen, old enough to be behind the wheel. Hopefully close to being out of high school and most guys start shaving and trying to deal with what to do with all the facial that is sprouting all over their face. LOL!
Two more years and you will be legal, you can vote and join the military if that is your choice. Five more years you can legally drink. And it’s all down hill from there!
From what I am hearing through the family grapevine my second cousin, Matt, is attempting to build a recording studio in his basement. He needed everything new and found the best Ibanez electric guitars online for the money. It sounds like he will be up and running in no time at all. And there is talk of him getting as many family members together during the 4th of July, as he can and have them come and record some of the old family favorites (songs) that have been sung during the holiday seasons for generations by so many of our family members.
That would be awesome and I am going to let him know that I am willing to help out in any way possible in order to get this accomplished. I’m just tickled about the whole idea and would love to see it really happen.
One thing that always gets me is when I see someone on TV singing and/or dancing while there is a fog machine(s) spewing all this stuff into the air that they are trying to utilize to stay alive while entertaining. I’ve always heard that it makes it a bit more of a challenge for the artists so I don’t understand why they allow these interesting and entertaining pieces of technology to be used.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the kind of person that thinks the government needs to tell us what we can and/or can’t do. All of the rules and laws that are increasingly being passed, in an effort to “keep us safe”. But to me it just makes sense that this is a safety issue, something that should be addressed. I was looking at a Fog Machine the Chauvet Hurricane 1300 which is the one that my nephew is currently saving up to purchase.
He is in a band. A typical “Garage Band” that has an occasional booking that they want to start using a fog machine for to “step it up a bit.” Of course he won’t listen to me or anyone else about the concerns of using a fog machine, so I figured I would learn a bit more about them on the computer. I’ve got to say that I was surprised at how affordable they are.
You know the old saying “If you can’t beat them join them”? Well there you go. Do I have to say anything more?
I love my sister, all of them actually, but my one sister, who lives in New Jersey has it in her head big time, and she is trying very hard to get me hooked up and married off. She has made this one of her lives missions and is constantly trying to get into my business.
It’s not that I wouldn’t like to meet a young lady, but right now the farm is my priority and is taking up all of my time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, money and love. There just isn’t enough of me to go around the place.
Sis found someone in her hometown that has been utilizing an online Dating Site with over 30 years of experience by the name of Great Expectations. Her new friend had many positive things to say about how this company goes the extra mile for their clients and she has made many new friends, online and at local functions that they host frequently. Sis then found out that there is one of their offices in Richmond, VA, which isn’t far from the farm and she immediately sent me an email with all of their information and the link for the site.
I’ll take a look around, might as well, just can’t promise anything, but it wouldn’t hurt to look since I spend what little extra time that I have online anyway.
I usually enjoy watching programs on The Animal Planet channel, but they have a new one that is really gross that is called “Monsters Inside of Me” the commercials are bad enough but I’ve watched a few of their episodes and really didn’t enjoy it enough to keep watching after about 10 or 15 minutes.
My favorite show on The Animal Planet is “It’s Me or The Dog” this lady named Victoria does wonderful things for these people that have some major issues with their dogs. I think she has a great television career ahead of her and she is teaching nothing but good things for dogs and people a like here folks. That’s is good thing!
