Back In Business

If I do finally decide to get back into the flea market business and it works well, I’m going to be looking at buying a van to haul the merchandise to the flea market. My sister has been telling me for many years that she has always wanted me to buy one of the mini vans that were so popular a few years back. But now that all of her children are grown, I’m not so sure a minivan would do the trick for me with my needs for a flea market vehicle. I think that with the family situation the way it is now, I just might be happy with something more like the Toyota Highlander or a Saturn Vue than a mini-van. They both seem like a good family car.

Besides buying a new vehicle I would like to invest in some nice logo mats to use, I think that they would be a nice touch for my customers to stand on while getting my name out. A nice logo canopy to use when outside and in wet weather would be a good choice as well. If I could count on the flea markets inside I would even consider purchasing some trade show carpet, I’ve seen some real nice ones being used out there, but there are no guarentees from what I’ve heard in the flea market business.

Posting Resumes Online

When I’m looking for employment I know that I get very tired of registering for the dozens of job-search services, having to spend hours filling in their forms, over and over again, repeating the same stuff. I wish that we could just copy and paste it when we post your resume online! Bust most of them won’t allow that, so we have to print off a copy of our resumes and piece-meal it in. So if you get a chance you should check out what sideskills.com and see what they can do for you, I’ve heard good things about them from several folks that are job hunting.

I think and feel like it is a huge waste of time for many of these places because even though they promise they will give us “job opportunities” within an hour’s drive (or what ever length of time you put it) of where we live, after spend hing ours filling in their forms – sometimes the best they can give us these days is working at 7-11 midnight shifts. Very aggravating! What a waste of a perfectly good college degree. There just doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of this very long dark tunnel that our government has placed us in these past few years.

Movie Theaters Suck!

I love my Direct TV Movie Channels. It is so great that I don’t even have to leave my house anymore to see all the movies I want. I have never been the type that enjoys movie theaters. People are always loud and annoying, and it’s the worst when they bring their kids and let them hoot and holler the entire length of the movie. I decided a few years back that seeing a movie in the theater was totally not worth the money. I would much rather save my moneyand wait until the movie was released for home viewing so that I don’t have to deal with all of the craziness and kids in a movie theater. I started to spend the money I would have otherwise spent on going to the theater on movie channels, and I have been so much happier. I also rent movies on demand, which is so much easier than going to the video store or mailing them back to the online services. It’s so nice to have everything I need at my fingertips.

Cheap Plus Size Dresses

I am so out of my league when it comes to trying to find good looking, quality made cheap plus size dresses for my niece who is asking for nice clothes for Christmas this year. She has landed a good job that requires her to where nice clothes in the office and she is seriously lacking that type of clothing since she basically lived in her blue jeans for most of her life.

I’ll take a look around online for a bit and see what is out there, but I have a feeling that I will need a woman beside me in order to make any final decisions on this. Too many variables going on with this task.

Might as well shoot big when the opportunity arrives, right? Each year my folks ask me and my other sibling what they would wish to find under the Christmas tree at their house. Some years it can be a challenge trying to figure out something that I really would like and be able to use as well as something that is affordable.

This year I’ve decided to ask for one of the metal detectors garrett style. Who knows, I just might wake up and find one under the tree this year, stranger things have been know to happen on Christmas morning. And I’ve wanted to go metal detecting for a long time.
