Fowl Play

At this morning’s networking meeting the talk was all about the county fair that is scheduled to start next week. I have never attended the county fair because I really don’t like large crowds in the middle of the hot summer months and our county fair now attracts something like over 60 thousand people from start to finish.

One of the member’s was saying that he was surprised last year to find how many Chicken Breeds there are out there these days. I have to say that I really don’t know all that much about chickens but I’ve seem my fair share throughout the years. And I know that there really are a tons of varieties that have been breeding and end up at county fairs all across the country as well as all across the world. A good part of the world rely on all that a chicken has to offer as far as food goes. But I really don’t want to go in that direction right now.

I guess this really is leading up to another member speaking up about his recent endeavor of breeding and raising ducks. He now has plenty of Ducks for Sale and was hoping to find someone at this meeting that would either Buy Ducks or know of someone who would be interested in buying his Ducks. It just freaked me out that this networking meeting that is supposed to be about professional people and here we ended up mainly talking about Chickens and Ducks and the county fair!

Brother’s Keeper

For once my brother is asking for my opinion about wireless security cameras and the like. He lives in a neighborhood that is slowly deteriorating and he and some neighbors have been missing things here and there from their yards lately. My brother travels a lot, so his house is left empty quite often and he his becoming more and more concerned about the safety of belongings and wants to do something about it. He is in the computer business and has quite a lot of money tied up in all of his equipment and he doesn’t have it all insured, so if any of it was stolen it would set him back a lot. His next door neighbor is looking into the same thing to have done to his place also .A buddy of his recommended using a company by the name of IT Planet (They are a worldwide distributor of auto-id equipment and accessories) that has a website of Itplanet.com so that you can order online with same day and free shipping on their merchandise. They have a selection of these security cameras that are of the wireless variety to choose from and he wanted to see if his selection was the best one, in my opinion.

It turns out that I would have to agree with his decision and his selection, I hope that this will make them all feel and be much safer in the future.

Cruising For Mailboxes

I’ve been cruising around the Internet for the past few months, looking for the perfect mailbox since my current one is in such a sad state. Mailboxes are important not only to assist your postal carrier in delivering your mail, but Mailboxes also help the police, the ambulance drivers as well as the fire fighters that would need to locate your address ASAP. So it is important for all mail boxes to have their information easily readable.

Justcommercialmailboxes.com is a major distributor of good quality Commercial Mailboxes, Apartment Mailboxes and Cluster Mailboxes along with the necessary accessories and replacement parts that are unique and affordable for CBU Mailboxes. I really like that they accept PayPal, I use my PayPal account for all of my online purchases if I can help it and have been doing so for many a years so I’m glad to see that more and more online orders are being made available utilizing PayPal. It is a free service that a lot of people are turning to and it has many advantages for today’s increasing numbers of online shoppers.

Anyway, it sounds as if I’m promoting PayPal here and that wasn’t even the point of this post. LOL! I will be ordering one of the couple of Mailboxes that I’ve narrowed the search down to. I just can’t seem to make up mind and commit to a particular one. Some times I go through these stages, it is the Libra in me, or so I’m told.

Computers

As you know I have a younger brother who is a computer whiz and he has taken on the task of educating me on several areas of the computer and I really have learned quiet a bit so far and am urging him to continue when he has the time. We talk on the phone and send emails frequently, since both of us are on our computers so often, it works out quiet well.He is currently assisting with the computer and technical aspect of a fairly new company of an old school friend, and he seems to be enjoying himself at the same time, which is strange, he is such a quiet and even tempered kind of fellow.

His friend heard about my brother’s reputation for doing an honest job for an honest dollar and looked him up, he isn’t hard to find mind you, and has hired him on as the Web Master, so he is in charge of the whole kit and caboodle of this new and exciting on-line business.

Ashop Commerce is who my brother is using with this particular client, he tells me that he has used it before and was briefly explaining what they do in his last email. It seems that they are the leading provider in hosted shopping cart software, they have no hidden fees and offer a variety of packages depending on what the business needs. He starts them out on their 10 day free trial and has never had a company ask him to put a stop on things and he hears good things about them. He says that they always provide him with good customer service and that it is an easy company to work with and plans on using them, always when necessary for a client.

He told me to visit there web-site and that I would find some useful information, like FAQs about shopping cart software and some good links are posted that he suggested a visit or two from. Of course I will take the time and learn what I can, while I can, might as well, can’t dance at the moment!

The Look of Stainless Steel

At some point I really would like to see a nice set of stainless steel fireplace accessories along side my fireplace, I really like the look of stainless steel and would like to have more of it around the house, it could really drastically change what the place looks like. The Stainless Steel Store has a fantastic selection of stainless steal products, all made by blomus, in which I have been browsing through, as of late. One day I will have this old place turned around and looking a bit more updated and modernized.

The outside could certainly use some work also, of course and I have been looking at their many blomus stainless steel mailboxes as well. There is something about a stainless steel mailbox that seems to trip my trigger and I look forward to actually deciding the perfect one with the right look made by blomus. The Stainless Steel Store really has gotten my attention, with unique stainless steal items that I’d like to see around here at their website of Thestainlesssteelstore.com, a good site to look around at.
