Lots of things on my mind….
Interesting to find out that this Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar is often referred to as a mexican telecaster, a guitar that came out in the 50’s and is still a popular electric guitar that is still in demand in the music industry.
My oldest brother had one of these electric guitars back in the day. I will have to ask him if he still has it or even if he still plays any guitar at all.
Football, or fusbal, or to the common man, soccer! A grand sport indeed. Seems to me to be a glorified form of kickball with a hockey net. Not that it isn’t something that takes a bit of stamina, strength and some wicked kicking skills, but what I just don’t get is why everywhere in the world that they play the sport, the spectators get a bit violent, to say the least, over it!
I saw on the news a while back where they had a game in Mexico and the spectators attacked the opposing team, who barely managed to escape into the stadium tunnels. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why people could get so riled up over a glorified game of kickball.
Since I live and work on a farm there is no gold IRA or gold 401k for me in the near future. From what I’ve been reading online, the big thing now is gold being the number one alternative for the Pension Plans that most white collar workers have at their disposal through their employer. Times are increasingly becoming more uncertain, while gold is always a good investment and always has been.
Gold Coins Gain has a very informative website that has a ton of good reading all about gold. Their History of Gold Coins is something that everyone should read and learn about. It is well written and an easy read that can be found at the bottom of all of their pages, so you can’t say that you can’t find it anywhere! They also offer a free Gold Guide that I have all ready ordered for myself, that I can’t wait to receive in the mail soon.
Did you know that the central banks of the world, governments and other institutions have been hoarding gold, along with increasing their gold holdings, getting away from the paper assets that have been around for a good long while. People are being advised to learn all that they can while stating that gold will add stability, growth and protection in your portfolio of investments.
So even if you don’t have an IRA gold or 401k gold option there are other ways to get your hands on the world’s oldest asset of choice and Gold Coins Gain has the information that you need to jump on the bandwagon, there is still enough gold to go around. I for one don’t want to miss out on a great opportunity, so I plan on reading my free gold guide cover to cover and find the right option for me, because I don’t think that there is a hidden stash of gold around here that I can count on keeping my head above water for the next couple of decades, believe me I have looked!
I have been a member of our local Costco for as long as I can remember. Every now and then I’ll go into town and take a trip to Costco and fill up with all kinds of goodies. They do have great prices if you don’t mind buying large items and items in bulk. I always come out of there with a few hundred dollars less in my wallet, but I’m usually stocked up pretty well for my effort.
The dogs here really enjoy the Nubz Dental Treats that they sell there, they even have coupons for these healthy dog treats in their monthly publications that I always take advantage of. These treats are all natural, good for the teeth and there dog breath that can some times knock a buzzard of off a manure wagon! I like that they are made in the U.S.A. and are made with real chickena and are even Gluten-free, which are both a big deal these days.
With money so tight, all the way around and across the board, as consumers we are all looking for ways to save money, while businesses are searching for ways to drum up business and bring our hard earned money into their bank accounts. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing anyone running a business, just stating a hard fact.
It seems that customer satisfaction surveys are a growing way for companies to hear how they are doing as well as finding ways to bring their current customers coming back. I don’t mind taking these surveys if there is something in it for me, not just the promise of being entered into some sweepstakes that the odds are completely stacked against me winning anything at all.
There are a few places that if you complete one of their customer satisfaction surveys that you will be given a code to write some where on your receipt so that you will receive some type of discount on your next purchase, those are surveys that I have no problem taking the time to complete. I always don’t mind a quick survey that only takes a few moments online since I’m on a computer some where most of the day. The kinds that I really refuse to complete are the kinds that come in the mail, no time for that and I don’t appreciate them junking up my mailbox with such trivial concerns.
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.
