Speaker Quality Important

Admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:09:42 +0000

Rock stars need speakers. No matter what you do, you have to make sure you’re heard over the din of the crowd that came to see you. And you have to be able to hear yourself in your JBL Control 5 monitor. So, you want to always make sure that your equipment is high quality. I know there’s the desire when you’re just starting out to be able to get the cheapest gear so you can make the most money but when you factor in the inevitable replacement costs, going for quality over price becomes REALLY important.

Keep that in mind when you buy!

Food Angst

I’m having one of those days where you get hungry but have no idea what to eat. Then I think maybe I can’t figure out what to eat because I’m not really hungry. Then I decide I am really hungry when my hands start to shake. Then I drink soda and the whole cycle starts again. Ok, I actually do know I could go in for some king crab, but that’s not in the cards right now. I need to convince my body to have more affordable desires.

Alcoholism Treatment Centers

Alcoholism treatment centers can be very helpful when trying to kick the habit. Sometimes, it’s the only thing that can help. Fortunately there are many high quality facilities available. Of course the first step is to admit there’s a problem. From there, recovery can happen though it takes time and determination.

If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol, a treatment center may be right for them.

Get Well Cards

My mom just got her hip replaced and my son made her a get well card. His approach is not one I would recommend for the general population – he insulted her. “You survived canser (sic), you suffered through wearing a wig, you can get through this!” He proceeded to write a poem in which she comes off as incompetent with electronics, as well. Fortunately that’s how she rolls and it really went over well.

Time to Upgrade Your Camera?

Now that Kodak finds itself in troubled financial times, it might be good to find another camera maker. Fuji digital cameras have a good reputation and I intend to look into their products when it comes time for me to upgrade. Which might be sooner than I want – I dropped my camera a while back and now the shutter doesn’t open and close the way it is supposed to.

When Your Children Start Correcting You

Admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:07:27 +0000

My children don’t seem to think that I know much. When I told one that I needed to look something up in an almanac, she politely corrected me – “It’s said ‘in-ter-net’.” For another I mentioned that he was a connoisseur of meat. He said, “You mean, I’m a carnivore of meat.”

They’re getting to big for their britches (no I don’t mean b****es).

Regardless of where you live, you may be among the huge number of us who suffer from migraines. In Texas you have the Dallas Migraine facility that can be a great resource for finding relief from these bothersome and debilitating headaches.

Decide to day that you want to do something about your migraines and then start figuring out what that something is.

Humorous Anecdote

As is my habit from time to time, I like to share a story about my children. In this case it involves my oldest daughter. We had discussed how Easter isn’t always on the same day and how I think it may even happen in March every once in a while. She said, “You should look it up.” I said, “I could look in an almanac.”

She paused and politely corrected my pronunciation, “In – ter – net.”

POS System

If you need a new POS system for your business (especially if it is a restaurant) you might want to look into the Aldelo System which has a variety of features. See if this kind of system would make your business easier to manage and also do a cost/benefit analysis to see if it fits into your business model. Good Luck!

Christmas Excess

I feel overwhelmed by the season. It’s very close to Christmas and I feel like I have no time to finish everything that needs to be done. Somehow I’ll muddle through, never fear.
