I am hoping that maybe businesses will adapt to the situation by letting their employees work four ten-hour days a week so that they will not have to commute five days a week. In order to do that, however, the day care providers need to be willing to extend their hours. I feel really bad for the people in rural areas where services like that are hard to find.

Having things to keep our kids busy and off the streets has always been issue everywhere I have ever been and this would be a good positive step in providing just that for a variety of kids. Maybe I’ll write a Letter To The Editor about it and see what type of reaction I get from it.

So in my quest to find him a good birthday present this year I have managed to find a really nice looking framed poster by KC Haxton of a cool classic car with the famous Route 66 Road Sign in front of it at the Z Galleries website that is known for the chic furniture and decorative accessories.

On a selection of Bic disposable lighters there are some eye catching tattoo designs showcased as lighter art. The designs are all from a web site called Bullseye Tattoos. I made a note of the site address and went to check it out. Very cool designs – nice site.

Anyway she is concerned about her aging skin issues and announced that she is scheduled for series of botox Melbourne Australia style. I can’t believe that she has finally gone ahead and decided to get this done. She has been talking about this for years, but has been waiting for the right time, and I guess that time has come now.

I asked her if they were also going to try their botox for her migraines that she has been experiencing more and more since moving half way across the world. I understand that botox can do wonders for certain types of migraines. Now I will just await her reply hopefully in the morning’s email that I always check before heading out to work.

I’ve asked my mother for some ideas and the only she can come up with are some clothing items for him. He has been losing weight these past couple of years so some new clothes that actually fit him now would be a good idea, so I’m looking for some Big and tall Clothing websites to see what is out there for someone his age and size. Some new would be good as well, he has always enjoyed wearing Levis Jeans, but I really don’t like buying clothes for someone unless they can try them on first, but that isn’t going to happen so I need to find a company online that offers easy returns and won’t charge me an arm and a leg with their delivery charges.

Since we are expecting snow tomorrow I think that I will stay inside and spend a good part of the day on my computer and finding him some good clothes for his birthday will be first on the list to do and then move on to other more exciting things to do online. The first place that I’m going to start looking at is at Gandlclothing.com, I’ve used them before and have been happy with their products for my use, not too sure what they have for men though, but their prices are goo and they have good customer service policies that are so very important to me both online as well as in the real world of retail.

We have a smoke detector in the upstairs hallway and also downstairs, so if there is ever a problem we should get plenty of warning. I hope we never have to hear either of those alarms go off, though.

We had a fire drill a couple of years ago when my daughter came home from school with lessons about fire safety. The teacher had asked all the parents to go over escapes routes from our home and have a plan of action in case we ever have to deal with a house fire. I’m glad we took the time to go over it with her – I feel much more comfortable that she will know what to do in an emergency.

One day my sister talked to me about how she was starting a venture with a girlfriend that involved creating a local directory/guide to products and services directed at young and expectant mothers. They went to a lot of businesses to sell advertisements to pay for the printing and distribution of the guide. When they were finished with it she mailed a copy to me, and I was quite impressed with the job that they had done. I never did hear whether or not that turned a profit, but she has talked to me about whether or not I would like to participate in the soliciting of advertisements for another guide in a different market.

I told her that I would be willing to help her with the next one, but I’ve been waiting several months to hear exactly what it is that she would like for me to do. At this point I am not even sure what the product/service is going to be; I have a feeling that she might want to pick a different demographic, such as senior citizens retirement and health issues. Considering the aging of America, I think that would be a good idea, don’t you agree?

He has just received the logo mats, and the special made trade show carpet right in the nick of time for this particular Trade Show that he has been wanting to participate it for quite some time. This is a big deal for him. So we will help him with all of that as well as the work that will be involved with the tear down, the packing along with the loading part that I’m sure my back will be screaming at me about the next day.

I hope that he has a good amount of promotional give-a-ways to hand out. I think I’ll take a look-see online and see what new and cool promotional products they have out now a days. They really have some nifty promotional items that you can have personalized.

I can tell you first hand that I wasn’t all that interested in switching insurance companies. I have been with my agent for over 20 years, I actually worked for him for a short time when he first started his agency, so I felt a loyalty to him, big time. But times are hard and money is an issue, so I took a chance and looked around and was surprised to find that I could be paying a whole lot less, $50 a month, with another carrier. It was hard calling my agent and letting him know that I had decided to switch insurance companies, but he was very understanding and told me that I have to do what I have to do in order to get by in today’s economic crisis. He also told me that he appreciated me calling him directly to inform him of my decision instead of calling the 800 number and canceling my long standing policy with the Regional office. It wasn’t an easy call to make but I’m glad that I did.
