Success Moving to Another Country

Two months ago, I got the biggest shock of my life.  My husband was being promoted and transferred.  He made me try to guess where we were headed.  It wasn’t to New York city or to Dallas, the two main branches in North America.  I nearly fainted when he told me that in less than […]

Finding The Best For You

Getting a product or service that is the best for you can be tough.  You see, when you go to a store, they will sell you what is best for them - in most respects your needs will go out the window.  This is an unfortunate result of most salespeople you will deal with for […]

Simplify Your Website Promotion

Promotion is a big part of running a website.  Just like any other business, you want to try to get your name out there so other people visit your site.  I just came across a valuable resource that helps you promote your websites with very little work.
There are some sites out there that are marketplaces […]

Looking for a Doctor Because You Moved

If any of you have ever moved from one town to another, you know how big of a frustration it can be.  Not only do you have to pack up your stuff, change your address and drivers license, but you have to familiarize yourself with your new surroundings.
This can be a huge challenge especially if […]

An Interesting Read: Search for Weird News

I was talking to my wife today about her day at work and how her night shift went.  She said that while she was reading the paper at the front desk, one of her guests at the hotel suggested that she go online and do a web search for weird news websites.

Too Many Credit Card Options

Does it ever seem to you that there are too many options when it comes to credit cards?  I don’t know about you but it seems every few days, I get another one of those "pre-approved" credit card letters.
Being a little naive about the options available for credit cards, I took a trip to my […]

Advertise your Business the Write Way

Now if you don’t notice the play on words in my title here, read it again.  Ok, now do you notice what I wrote? 
Today I want to talk about an advertising method that we often take for granted: advertising pens.  Why would I want to focus on this?  To be honest, I just finished […]

My Wife and Her Headaches

I am lucky that neither my wife or I have any serious health problems.  Granted we are still young (under 30) but out of my friends that are married, usually one or the other has some health problems.
The only real problem we have is that my wife gets headaches every 28 days or so.  I […]

My Most Valuable Blogging Tool

In my quest to be a good blogger, I rely on many tools to help me write valuable blog posts that someone would like to read (by the way, thank you for reading).  Some of these tools I use are software, books, the Internet (for doing research) and coffee to keep me awake.  All these […]

Looking at Other Investments

We seem to have a good grasp on our investments: we have RRSP’s, some mutual funds and a savings bond or two.  What is good about this is that if we run into any monetary problems, we have some money to fall back on.
What I don’t like about our investment portfolio is that the return […]
