I am a huge history lover. I love going to new places and touring all the museums and seeing the way people from years gone by lived. I remember as a child visiting some museums and asking my mother if the furniture that was on display was children’s bedroom furniture, or not. She then explained that people were not as tall as we are now, back then and their furniture was made to fit their size back then. I had the joy of visiting the Biltmore House last Christmas, and during that tour I noticed once again that they [...] Continue Reading…

Great Photos with Digital Cameras
Many of us remember the days of childhood when photos were only taken on holidays and special occasions and then were pasted in a photo album.
We may have lugged these albums around with us as we moved from home to home because they were so precious. Today, however, most people have cell phones that can take pictures, so we’ve got more photos stored than we know what to do with. The good part is that they can be stored on tiny flash drives or put on our computers so there’s no need for those bulky albums anymore.

How I Bought Exactly the Car I Wanted Using Just the Phone and the Internet
In 2002, the lease was up on my current car, so I decided it was time to get a new one. Like most people, I generally don’t like going to a car dealership to buy a car. At the beginning of my career, I worked for 6 months as a car sales person so I knew exactly what would happen if I went to the car dealership:
The sales person would “assess my needs.” Then get me to settle for a car that they had in stock on the lot. Then I’d have to go for a test

Quality Education Vs Accreditation
Education:
“The act or process of educating or being educated; the knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process!”
Inquiries into furthering my educational aspirations were made to various colleges within my immediate environmental area. Several of the schools contacted required placement exams that I did not challenge, as I am adept and very capable of dealing with college examinations. The thing that got to me was the disparaging remarks from some college recruiters regarding their standards for education as opposed to another college. One of the schools that I’ve attended is a two-year degree school

Pet Care – There’s No Other Job Quite Like It
“Pets are such agreeable friends, they ask no questions and they pass no criticisms” said George Eliot about pet animals. Pets often reciprocate the love that their masters lavish on them by demonstrating various forms of affection including licking, hickeys, even love-bites.
