Willie Nelson All Year Round

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I have always loved the music that Willie Nelson plays. On occassion I will visit You Tube and look up some music to listent to. Last night I found this Duet with Willie Nelson and Norah Jones ” Baby It’s Cold Outside” and fell in love with it and wanted to share it here.

Mother’s Day

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

My mother has been hinting about wanting a new watch and with Mother’s Day right around the corner I’ve been looking around online to see if I can find a nice one to give to her without breaking my bank account. Bluedial.com has a great selection of all types of watches. I like that they offer free 2nd day shipping, free sizing and the fact that they accept PayPal is a big plus for me.

Seiko Kinetic Watches has some nice looking watches that I think would look good on my mother. She is very old fashioned and very petite so I have to be careful with what I get for her. I like the look of this one and blue is her favorite color. The fact that it is on sale for only $127 is very tempting!

Will it work?

My cousin’s girlfriend Bri has been raving about how much she loves her new magnetic bracelet.  She said that it has helped her arthritis tremendously!  So I started doing a little bit of research on magnetic therapy.  I couldn’t believe how many ailments magnets are supposed to help! From headaches, backaches, insomnia, stress, to diabetes!   Bri told me that she bought her bracelet at the billythetree.com website.  So I’ve gone online to check them out. 

Their prices certainly seem reasonable enough, and they have a good shipping and satisfaction policy.  I think I’ll order one for myself and see if I notice any difference in how I feel!  Sometimes I wonder if these things “work” because of the placebo effect, so I’m always curious, yet cautious.  What is your experience?  Do you have any magnetic jewelry?  Has it improved your life?

An oddity in nature

My good friend Judy knows how much I love animals.  She emailed me a link to a fantastic video about a herd of white deer.  I found it so interesting, I’d like to share it with you.  I hope you find it as interesting as I do!

The challenges of the information era

Friday, February 19th, 2010

There are so many new challenges about life in this new age of the information super-highway.  Anyone who is thinking about how they are going to make a living is going to have to consider whether they are better off working for themselves, or for someone else.  There are pros and cons to each.  Running your own business did not used to be as complicated as it is now.  You would buy some equipment, hire some guys, put an ad in a trade magazine or local newspaper and hang up your shingle.

Now in addition to that you have to consider whether to, or how to, use the Internet for its best advantage.  Are you better off  just using it for simple things like banking and emails, or are you better off buying a domain, buying business hosting, and putting up a big interactive website?  And if you DO decide to put up your own website, how much marketing do you want to put into it so that people can find your site?  Do you simply want to add to your printed media that you have a website, or do you want to pay some SEO companies to help you to be easily found through the major search engines?  There are a lot more decisions to be made out there in this information era!
