It seems that he goes to some Dallas Pawn Shops and finds some good treasures that people have had to pawn in these economically challenged times. It sucks to profit off of another’s loss, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get by and he is doing just that.  A lot of dealers like him get their merchandise from Thrift Stores, yard sales or Estate Sales, but not too many frequent the Pawn Shops.

Now Texas is one big state and he is doing some traveling during his down time. He plans on hitting some of the Austin Pawn Shops as well as the Houston Pawn Shops that he runs across during his travels. Sounds like fun. I wish him well and one day I’ll be able to go down and visit him.

There are cuts being made in our schools. Foreign language teachers are being laid off, along with the art and music teachers, which should be of concern to all of us. We need our students to learn languages to use in the future in the business world. A translator can earn big bucks these days and are becoming in high demand as the years go by.

There are translation services popping up everywhere, online and off, and they are doing very well. They are always looking for people to hire that can speak other languages and not just Spanish, although we have a huge amount of Spanish speaking people in our country these days. German, Japanese, Chinese, French, Vietnamese and countless other languages are in demand as well.

If I need to pick up any item that might be needed that I can’t seem to find I can always go online and pick up some sweet deals on the Internet. There are plenty of good deals to be found these days. Companies are hurting for business, big time, so prices are dropping in order to make any type of sale.

I do believe that when the weather breaks and we get out of this dark cold winter, people’s spirits will start rising. It’s been a rough winter and with the economy not showing any signs of improving there are a tremendous amount of very unhappy folks out there. I can only hope that spring will help us all out. Travel and Outdoor Fun can do wonders for a body.

It’s most unfortunate that the nice weather will be short lived, I’m told that by the end of next week, winter will be rearing it’s ugly head once again.

I think my house needs some new window blinds. You know how old and dingy they get after a couple of years and they’re an inexpensive way to really add a new ‘touch’ to the same old room. No need to spend a fortune either if you know the right place to shop for them. I even like window shades for some of my rooms like the bathroom for some odd reason. I don’t know why I want shades in there but maybe it’s because they seem to me like you have more privacy with them but that’s my opinion about it anyway. No one wants anyone to be able to see into their bathroom, now do they?

There are all sorts of window coverings available now from blinds, shades and those pleated shades which I really like. The wide array of colors are just about guaranteed to add that special touch to an otherwise ordinary room. You can color coordinate your blinds or shades to match your couch, bed covering, curtains or what ever you are wanting to accentuate. Luckily as a man, I had a mother that had a good eye for decorating and I guess I got a touch of that from her. Or at least, I like to think that’s where it comes from.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.

13. I’m always still slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes – to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this thing I have– ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “What would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the heck do I respond to that?

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet, on any given Friday or Saturday night, more kisses begin with Bud Light than with a Kay jewelry product.

Anyway I told her that there was no way possible for me to help her out but I could point her in the right direction so that she could learn a lot more about what she wanted and then learn what she really needed.  They aren’t the same thing all of the time, you know.  If you’re looking for business hosting, then that’s what you should concentrate on and not shop around for other things.  But if you are looking for good ecommerce hosting then just remember you get what you pay for.  I would rather have great ecommerce hosting myself.

The best place I know to find what ever type of hosting you are looking for is on the Internet.  I have my own personal favorite when I’m looking for a great web host and that’s with the geeks.  Personally, I don’t mind being called a geek or going to a geek when I am in need of one.  In fact, they come in awfully handy when you’re trying to explain something to this younger generation that think you don’t know what your talking about.  Send them to a geek and their word is golden to them.  Go figure!
