Tuesday night I’ll be at a meeting of a company seeking to open in my rural town.
They’re a national company doing medical transcription.
Due to contract obligations, the transcription must be done “in house”… no home based transcription.
I was asked if this would be a problem for people who normally want to work at home.
“No…”
Here if [...]

Anyone who runs a double opt in ezine knows that no matter what they do, some idiot – usually from AOL – who is too lazy to click unsubscribe will report you for sending spam even though they signed up for your ezine.
I hate been accused of sending unsolicited mail when I know that I [...]

This ad appeared in Nashville, TN when I saw it.
To find out more about this “Guerrila” Marketing company I typed in the email to respond to and for the first few pages only came up with other Craigslist ads when I did a Google search.

Today’s issue of Early To Rise talked about people who roll over retirement funds and invest in real estate… in this case a Post [...]

Maybe nothing’s wrong with it. Time will tell. I’d like to see if you noticed what’s missing.
This is a real company rolling out a real service but I won’t divulge the names since they’re not active yet.
They consider themselves “Carmax” without the lots.
They’ll have an internet website that sells used cars bought at auction.
They’ll be [...]

This is something I ran across at our County’s leadership training on Tuesday.
Did you know that if you are signing your child up for public school, you need a plethora of documentation…
Birth Certificates
Immunization Records
Social Security Cards
Etc.
If you don’t have each one of these documents in order for each child, you will be sent away to [...]

I was looking at my Gmail today.
When I wasn’t having to glance past recipes for the luncheon meat SPAM when deleting stuff in the bulk mail folder, this ad appeared.

1. Are these blogs really any better looking?

MSN Money thinks our tax burden is low.
Believe it or not, Americans enjoy some of the lowest income tax rates in the world. Today of all days, it might not seem so.
