Phone Calls From Friends
Posted by Gina on Jul 17, 2008
Tonight I was sitting in front of the computer looking at different websites and checking my email. The typical night around our house is my husband and I working on the computer. Tonight he was out at a meeting and will be there until about 11:00 p.m. Then out of the blue I got a phone call from my friend Rania. I haven’t seen her or talked to her in a long time and it was so great to hear from her.
She is the kind of friend who always calls at the right time. She is one of those people who everyone just loves. She is so sweet and kind and now that she just called me I’m missing her more. She wanted to get together tomorrow but unfortunately I had a doctors appointment scheduled and dinner plans. I was about ready to just say yes and cancel everything else, but I know sometimes you have to be responsible. The next time we talk though I am going to be free for her because she deserves it.
Americommerce.com

I have been thinking about starting my own business for about 11 year now. Websites such as AmeriCommerce.com was so helpful in giving me a better understanding for making a profit. Not only do you need a great webpage and website, but more importantly you need a means to drive people to your site in the first place. What good is having a great product and service to offer yet setting up your store out in a remote area.
The same holds true for online businesses. You need to have a means to bring customers to your site. That is exactly what AmeriCommerce.com does. On top of that they also allow you to make quick changes and adjustments to your webpage without spending hours of time to do it. Everyone knows how important your time is when you are starting your own business or running a successful one. Every second becomes precious to you and you need to set priorities for the time you do have. If you are not convinced yet, go to customizable store softwareand read through the testimonials.
Shocking and Scary News
Posted by Gina on Jul 16, 2008
I couldn’t believe the story I read on CNN tonight. It was about 2 women who have been convicted of murdering 2 homeless men for their insurance money. This is one of the most awful news stories that I have heard in a long time. First of all the women who committed these two horrible murders were elderly women. One I believe was 73 and the other 77. The fact that they did this to two poor, homeless men makes it even that much more horrible.
They became friends with these men and then were able to get enough information to take out life insurance policies. At first the women said they targeted older men who were most likely going to die soon. What the jury actually found them guilty of was murder. Both men were run over and died from the accident. Both women received 2 life sentences and will be behind bars until they die.
Paintball
Posted by Gina on Jul 16, 2008
The other night at dinner my girlfriends and I were talking about doing something new. We have all been rock climbing, bowling, and one night went we went go-cart riding. Then Maria had an idea to go play paintball. We all had heard about it and thought it would be a whole lot of fun and a great work-out. Not to mention something new and exciting that we had never tried before.
When I got home I found a great paintball site on the internet. It’s easy to find and it’s called paintball .
The company has been in service for over 5 years so that was a great sign. Plus the website offered so much information and equipment. You could buy just about anything related to paintball. The number of guns they sell was unbelievable and the different BT Paintball guns included Tippman A-5, Spyder Pilot ACS, Small Parts Ion, and many more. If you have any interest at all in paintball you need to take a look at this website.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

I know everyone has their own opinion of these two, but I love them. I think they make a great couple and are doing wonderful things for this world. What happened between Brad and Jennifer Aniston we will never know, but we have to assume that it wasn’t meant to be.
As for Brad and Angelina I heard she gave birth to twins last night. I am so excited for them. They both seem to love children so much and by the looks of it they do a great job raising their children that they already have. These last two will make for 6 children. Their names are Vivienne and Knox. I wish them all the best.
Local.com the easiest way to find information online
Posted by Gina on Jul 13, 2008
For the past couple of years I have been using the yellow pages online to find information about different restaurants, hotels, etc. When you work in the avertising field, like I have in the past you are constantly searching the internet for information such as driving directions, ratings on hotels, and more. The yelowpages.com was a big help, but sometimes I needed a little more information than what the yellow pages offered.
Since then I have discovered a better method for gathering information called local.com. Local.com goes one step beyond your typical search engine. It encompasses information from many different sources including the yellowpages.com, yelp.com, and city search. If you can’t find all the information you need on one of these sites you can search another one that local.com offers. It’s great it works as a one stop shop.
Great Customer Service
Posted by Gina on Jul 12, 2008
I had a great experience today at a drycleaners. It may sound strange but I had to go to the drycleaners after work and drop off about 5 things. For some reason I tried a new drycleaners because it was on my way home. Plus I have heard great things about this shop in particular and wanted to give it a try.
I went in with all my stuff and a young man about 20 came up front to help me out. He was so nice and so polite that it made my experience great. The prices were pretty high considering you can find pretty cheap drycleaners since there is one on every corner. The funny thing was I didn’t even care about the price after I had gotten such great service from Zachary. I guess I’m a little jaded I have been into too many stores where the help was just rude. Sometimes the employee is so young that they act a little obnoxious. I was just highly impressed with my service I received and will definitely head back there again.

Homelessness

I just heard a very sad story on the news. It was about a man in Florida who begged police to take him back to jail. I don’t know about you, but jail is the last place I want to go. He was released earlier this year and has been unemployed and on the streets ever since. He intentionally walked right up to a police officer and handed him crack cocaine. Once back behind bars he mentioned this was the place he felt at home. It was clean, there was a bed to sleep on, and he got 3 meals a day.
Why is it that some ex-convicts are able to find steady work and survive outside of jail and others just can’t seem to make it. One person in particular that is married to a friend of mine is an ex-convict. He was in prison for 12 years and is now working for Americas Most Wanted of all places. He has completely turned his life around and is happily married, doing volunteer work with men who are in prison, and working to put criminals away. He really has turned his life around. Then when I hear about other people who can’t survive outside of the prison walls it breaks my heart. I guess a lot of it depends on the choices we make. At least for now I’m going to believe that.
Saving Money with On-line Coupons
Posted by Gina on Jul 11, 2008
For some reason I have the hardest time keeping up with birthdays and graduations. I use to be so good at it when I was single. Once I got married and added my husband’s family in the mix I just couldn’t keep up. I come from a pretty big family and my husband does as well, but there is no excuse for missing you mother or mother-in-laws birthday. I found the greatest website to help me out with these close calls it is called 1-800-flowers. They deliver cards, candy, and flowers on the same day they are ordered.
1-800-flowers has saved me many times over from becoming the horrible daughter who doesn’t remember birthdays. Then today I found a site even better called Savings.com. It offers on-line coupons for Old Navy, Verizon, Orbitz and 1-800-flowers! This site is so incredible I can’t believe I had not heard of it sooner. There are so many on-line coupons that they offer. You don’t have to look through the paper and cut and carry them with you to the store. Once you open the website it is all laid out for you in easy to read print. There is no guess work you can even click on a coupon for free shipping to certain stores. Thank you savings.com I will be using you from here on out.
