Maybe a weekend in Pigeon Forge cabins would do the trick.
When does that ’stimulus’ check come?

A number of months back I had a preliminary phone interview with a company in the area. I never heard back from anyone after that initial phone conversation - I thought it went well, guess not. It did sound like a great environment to work in, they even had weekly massage therapy to help reduce stress.
Given the report from my wife yesterday, I may need to seek out some stress relief from work as I was talking in my sleep about the project that I am working on - major deadline coming up and all the responsibility is falling on me for this major deadline. Maybe I need to go pick up some calgon.

You know how all the entertainment legends of the past are trying to sell stuff to our parents - medical alerts, security systems, and adjustable chairs. I know our time is coming when we will see Bon Jovi trying to see me a zero gravity recliner. Or one of the original Mtv VJ’s selling a super colleciton of 80s video hits on what ever replaces DVD. I guess it just goes to show that the icons of our generation will always be trying to sell us something. I just hope they aren’t trying to sell us the Rock & Roll life long after they should be dead (thank you for that one Rolling Stones).

Every once in a while I get to thinking about how it would be nice to work for myself. The biggest hurdle with that is just fear of the unknown and wanting to make sure you aren’t jumping over a cliff. In addition to having a solid business plan you also have to market yourself effectively.
One of the ways to do that is with business cards. There are a number of places to get inexpensive business cards and I found on that even offers logo design. They have a number of logos to choose from that are regularly updated so you can choose a logo and not have to worry that in a month or so everyone you meet will be using the same logo icon. You can then take that same logo design that you create yourself with their easy to use online editor and turn it into a business card in just a matter of minutes. The great part is that if you decide to change something in the process you can jump back to the step to change it. I was able to select a logo icon, color it and create a business card in under five minutes. The longest part of the process was finding exactly the logo icon that I wanted to use - they have a ton of them so making a decision was a little tough but they have a search feature and have them broken down into categories that make finding that perfect logo really easy.

The business cards look really sharp on the LogoYes website and I am sure that they are even more impressive once you receive them. Your business card isn’t just a piece of paper with your contact info, it is a miniature billboard of your dream!

what ever in the world did people do before someone invented diaper wipes?
I think that might be one of the reasons that we have four children, it has given us a cover for having diaper wipes in the house for the last 12 years. Diaper wipes are like the perfect cleaning item, not only do they clean stuff, quite well I might add, they smell better than your regular kitchen wipe. Maybe the youngest not being fully potty trained isn’t such a bad thing after all… wait I take that back. I just like having the wipes in the house though.
