Mothers Day!

2010-04-21T08:08:00.000-07:00

May 9th. That date is not very far off. Mother's Day is not a holiday that should be taken lightly. You forget that holiday, and you are in deep trouble for quite a long time. It is not like your mother carried you in her womb for oh, say, 9 months is it? Get her something special! Flowers, chocolates, clothes, jewelry, she deserves it all!

Mothers Day is the perfect occasion for flowers, especially in conjunction with something like breakfast in bed or other pampering. My mother always enjoyed it when us kids did all the daily chores and things for her, since I am one of eight children. Think about unique things you can combine with flowers or chocolates to really make the day special! She is sure to appreciate the effort.

Andrew Wilshire

2010-01-31T15:41:00.000-08:00

With the turbulence in the financial markets of late I've been looking into commodities such as gold and silver, and a friend tipped me onto Andrew Wilshire. He is an entrepreneur that has been working with commodities for a long time, and Andrew Wilshire has a track record that speaks for itself. I think my first dollars put into gold and silver will be done with his advice and information paving the way.

Andrew Wilshire is a forward-thinking businessman that has a lot of great ideas, and I think putting my money into ideas like his is a very good way of securing my future!

With Christmas coming up again soon and me not being in the country, I am on the look out for gifts once again! 1800Flowers.com is a good bet for sending flowers to my girlfriend, since I do not want to try and contact a local flower shop from outside the country. Being able to order flowers over the internet is so convenient!

I also need to send some gift baskets to my older friends, since I do not have the time to get other gifts with my busy teaching schedule. Gift baskets are like a big combo package of goodies, who can say no to that?! I know they will appreciate them, especially since they will not be expecting them from me while I am outside the country!

Mother's Day!

2009-05-06T18:34:00.000-07:00

Mothers Day is right around the corner, and the race is on to find the perfect gift for my mom. I just recently got to see my family after being away in another country for 9 months, and I gave them all gifts while I was there, but I would like to get my mom something really special. Mothers day flowers are always good, but I never seem to be able to choose what to get. Flowers like orchids or roses are my best bet I am guessing, especially if I step my game up with some chocolates.

Fathers day seems so much easier to get the perfect gift for, but I suppose being a male does not hurt in that regard. Here is hoping that my mom enjoys her gift!

Mother's Day!

2009-04-16T14:01:00.000-07:00

I'm staying at my grandma's house in Oklahoma right now, and she's an avid gardener. I've been watching her plant flowers all over, and I asked her about some of her favorite types for Mother's day gifts. She said Mothers day gifts depend entirely on the individual, but that she always loved roses, orchids, and daffodils herself. I have to admit, orchids are probably my favorite type of flower as well.

Gifts for mothers day have always been tough for me, because I'm one of eight kids. Planning together in order to avoid giving the same gift can become a real pain, it takes quite a bit of coordination on our parts. Last time I ordered my mother some roses from 1800flowers and got a good response, so I might try to switch it up slightly and order orchids this year, but stay with the same company. They were really great and got everything there on time and intact.

Long-Term Care And Nachshon Draiman

2009-04-04T11:56:00.000-07:00

My friend’s grandmother is going to need geriatric care in the near future, and I recommended Nachshon Draiman to him. Nachshon Draiman is known for quality care, which is obviously the most important aspect that my friend is considering for his grandmother. He is from Chicago so he wants an Illinois operator that has a very good reputation.

I may have to look for care for a family member of my own fairly soon, so I hope I can locate someone as reliable as Nachshon Draiman in my home state. Or maybe I will just have to relocate to Illinois!

Cabs and Amos Tamam

2009-04-04T11:54:00.000-07:00

After being screwed over many a time by cabbies that don’t have change or are unwilling to make it, Amos Tamam has come up with an idea for paying by credit card that I really like. Amos Tamam has put together a technology package that is being used in the New York City fleet with lots of success, and I can only hope it expands to other areas.

If I had a choice, I would bring Amos Tamam down to Buenos Aires where I am right now, because the prices are horrendous and I am tired of always carrying around lots of cash for them.

Home Remodeling With K-Designers

2009-04-04T11:51:00.000-07:00

I just recently purchased some rental properties at auction that are in need of remodeling, and I had a good friend recommend using K-Designers for the job. K-Designers has a great reputation for quality work, and their meteoric growth has been a testament to that fact.

I have another friend that is considering going to work for them, because they seem to have an excellent work environment. K-Designers has many new locations now, and is actively hiring at the moment. I hope he applies so I can try to get a discount on my remodeling jobs! That would be a real coup in this economy!

Property Management

2009-04-04T11:49:00.000-07:00

Tim Arel has been managing properties for a very long time, and I have been in need of a good property manager for a very long time. I have been able to take advantage of the down economy to buy some rental properties, but I need a quality property manager to oversee them. Enter Tim Arel, who has an excellent reputation.

The properties are in the next town over, so I do not have the time to run them myself. A friend I trust recommended Tim Arel, so I will be talk to him as soon as possible to see what exactly he can offer.

United American Insurance Company

2009-04-04T11:47:00.000-07:00

United American Insurance Company was a company I found on the Internet not long ago while researching jobs in the insurance industry. Based out of Texas, United American Insurance Company offers a wide range of services and insurance options, and they generate enough leads that a new agent like myself would have a lot of earning opportunity.

I also checked their customer satisfaction and customer service reputation and they are in good standing, which is important for me. I could not work for a company that tried to cheat people. I think United American Insurance Company will be getting an application from me very soon!

Investing In Nigeria

2009-04-04T11:44:00.000-07:00

Nigeria is a country that my company had not seriously considered as an investment opportunity because of rampant inflation, but we have since had meetings with Mohammed Babangida that have opened our minds to the possibility at the very least.

Mohammed Babangida runs his own law firm and is a captain of industry in Nigeria, trying to bring in foreign capital and business partnerships to improve his country. While we are also looking into other countries in the area for investment opportunity, Mohammed Babangida has been in constant contact with business ideas and very enlightening conversation. We will definitely consider Nigeria once the money comes through.

Investing In Kenya

2009-04-04T11:42:00.000-07:00

Linus Gitahi has been running successful companies for years. I was commissioned to author a report on potential investment opportunities in Africa, specifically Kenya, and I found Linus Gitahi in the course of my search. He has a degree in Management, and has served in a management capacity for multiple international companies.

Linus Gitahi currently works with SmithKline Beecham as a General Manager of Consumer Healthcare. We are still researching exactly what way we want to go with our investment money right now, but I have contacted Linus Gitahi to see what sorts of ideas he can offer in terms of opportunities.

Who Needs Eyeglasses?

2009-04-04T11:38:00.000-07:00

Glasses are something that I am going to need in the near future. I am doomed by my genetics, since my dad’s eyes are pretty bad. I already have a pair of reading eyeglasses, but I think a full-blown pair is not too far away. I actually think glasses are pretty stylish, and I have been researching a couple of brands that I would consider wearing.

Versace Glasses has some very attractive frames, and they have an understated elegance that I like. They are not flashy, and do not use bright colors or big features. If I am going to have something on my face for the foreseeable future, I want something that is timeless and does not buy into the latest flashy trends. I think Versace Glasses fill that need, and when my optometrist makes that call, I will be ready with my choice.
