More last minute changes for Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 27th, 2008 | Food, entertainment, family, life, uncategorized | No Comments

We were not expecting to see my brother, his wife and daughter today for the annual Thanksgiving dinner at my folks place. My mother just called to say that he had just called and stated that their had been some last minute changes in their plans and that they would be heading out the door shortly to hit the road in an effort to make an appearance and stay for dinner with the rest of the clan.

Mother of course is frantic, with 3 more people coming that puts a kink into all of her seating arrangements, but she isn’t concerned at all with the amount of food, there is always way too much food left at the end of the evening, so three more eating won’t make a difference in the meal what so ever.

My brother’s daughter is my “favorite niece that I speak so fondly of now and them” and I’m glad to get the chance to see her and spend some time together any chance that I can get. And enjoying mom’s good home cooking, makes it all the better!

Emails That Sell

Not every marketing message email from a business is spam. There are lots of people who want to get emails from companies – especially member organizations. It brings a whole new dimension to a company’s marketing to have people voluntarily sign up to receive emails promoting your products, services or events.

If your company is serious about reaching people in this new millennium in the hottest medium, your company needs to consider developing an Email marketing campaign. This is something that has to be done right. You have to go to the professionals for help and the investment of your time and money will pay off in the long run. In fact, with a successful email campaign you should see measurable results very quickly.

Good-bye to the 2008 Olympics

Last night was the end of another very exciting and eventful Olympics, and now we must wait another 4 years to the next one to come around. The 2012 Olympics are scheduled to be held in London, England, and I hear that work has all ready started in London to prepare for this huge event and that concerns are being raised about how it all will be paid for.

It will take a while for all of the excitement to die down, but for now, all of the news programs will be interviewing the participants in depth, so that we can hear all of the inside scoops that most folks will be sitting on the edge of their seats to hear.

To buy or to sell

One of my girlfriends is now looking for Horses for Sale. She tells me that since she spends so much time flying between here and Austrailia, and since she has a country home in both places that came with horse stalls and paddocks, she thought the most logical thing to do would be to obtain a couple of horses! She’d keep one here in the states and the other back home in Australia. Point being we came across this site called simpletrade.com.au while we were horse hunting online and found it to be a great tool for locating just about anything you can imagine. Not only does it appeal to the buyer for it’s ease of use factor as well as it’s diverse categories of items for sale, trade or even rent, but to the seller as well, as a fabulous tool for the merchant and even the regtular citizen that has the need to advertise. My lady friend wound up buying quite a few things. But it’s what she brought with her that I’m interested in. Long legged flight attendant with “nighties”! Yes sir, it is good to be me!

I’m watching the Olympics on my big screen TV when I get a call from the airport from an old girlfriend I haven’t heard from in almost a year now. She’d switched airlines for better pay and benefits quite a few months back and we haven’t seen each other since then. Anyway she calls and says she has the weekend clear due to her next flight isn’t until Monday at the earliest. Of course I invited her to stay over and save on hotel fees,(she actually gets a room for free anyway, one a group of the stewardesses keep for layovers and stuff), to which she replied she was hoping I’d ask. She also said something about wanting my help with something. knowing her, probably a new outfit or should she buy a new outfit>
