His wife finally convinced him to go on Saturday where he was diagnosed with a major infection that had spread [...]

Now that you’ve started your online store it’s time to market it. Time to make people aware of it and get them to start buying. There are more ways to do this and more than I could possibly even begin to mention. Amazon.com probably has enough books to fill a library on the subject. What [...]
I sold my 2001 Nissan over the weekend. I didn’t get what I was asking, but I got what I wanted and the buyer got a great little car. I tried a number of different marketing techniques and kept track of the inquiries I received so I could share what worked and what didn’t. Here [...]

I drove home in a red Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition last night. The SUV is loaded: sun-roof, leather seats, premium sound (with CD changer), power and heated seats, climate control, trip computer, power pedals, alarm, and tons of other little gadgets.

I had the weirdest nightmare the other night. We’ll hopefully be moving soon and our two dogs (a golden retriever and Pomeranian) will be moving with us. I guess I must have been thinking about that in the back of my mind as I had a dream about it.
I dreamed that I went to the [...]
While in a conversation at work the other day, the statement was made “You can’t save your way to prosperity.” This is an old saying that I’ve heard before, but to be honest had forgotten about. The saying caught my attention and my immediate reply was “Really? I think you can.“ We didn’t get in [...]
