re: A Very Hot Weekend

yeah I don't know what the deal is with the weather in Florida. I understand it has been really hot there. I know can buy little devices you put on your neck that will help cool you. It's amazing how cool your body feels when your neck is cool. Anyways the weather up here in Charlotte has been pretty awesome. It have been about 70-80 most days and has cooled down a little at night. I have been enjoying it. The humidity have not been that high so it's not quite like the 100% humidity you find in Florida.

Living as simple as possible is my motto. You never know what could happen. It just hit me how dangerous even saving for retirement/investing can be. Many who spent years saving for retirement are now slap out of gas because of one crooked man that got caught! How many other crooked advisors are out there can't be answered, but we do have to be careful with what we have and not be misled into thinking that the economy is stable.

Wow that is scary I heard about the Silver Slipper going out of business but I didn't know that it had been in business for 75 years. That's really sad that they had to close up. I wonder why they weren't making money. I thought it was a pretty popular place.

I think the economy is only going to get worse. I feel it coming and I hope that among other things it doesn't happen. We also have to keep our eye's on the whole world as everyone wants to bomb us.

quote "Thus, it is clear that the American way of living, indeed, the very existence of America as a rich nation is coming to a quick and certain end. Once again, apathy reigns."

I think you said it. We need to get people off their butts and get them working to make money and make a profit for a business. We need to get the apathy out of the US citizens. We need to rely on the government to pay for things less and we need to be taxed less. It's my opinion. If you work hard you should reap what you sow.

You have to watch out for the rays of sunshine bouncing off the water and coming at you from below.

re: Bear Facts

yeah man that is a good point man. I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm still confused why you were talking about bears with a salesman? Was he selling bear traps or something.

Thanks for this post, Ghost. My mother had this plaque on the kitchen wall when I was growing up. I'd forgotten all about it until reading this. I sometimes need the reminder that this provides, and will try to find it for sale online.

re: What Are Phone Numbers For?

Blogette — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:22:35 GMT

I have found that in the business world, if you want something done that requires help or input from others, you have to keep after them to do their part. Even if you have to call them everyday.

I can't stand it when people just can't say no. I would rather someone say no than say that they will try or that they are not sure. Or People that say they will come but really have no real intention of actually showing up. Be it business or personal life it drives me crazy. If I am undecided about something I tell the person so and call them back when I know what I have decided. Anyways I feel your pain.

I think that it is amazing that he remembered you after 10 years and only meeting you once. I have trouble remembering people I met last week. You must have made a big impact on him.

I think that doing good for others is a great way to feel good. More people should help one another.

re: Music Is For The Soul

Blogette — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:14:22 GMT

I know music can really affect my mood. Depending on what I listen to, it can give me the energy to get up and go or it can calm my nerves and bring me some peace.

re: The Concept of Team

carcajou — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:26:18 GMT

I think that Ayn Rand hit this nail on the head. She stated that the goal of liberal government was to foster an environment of "from those according to ability, to those according to need" in society and in business. No attitude is more prevalent in todays business world than to require the best producers to produce more, while the sickly, stupid, and lazy are coddled and given more benefits! This environment is not condusive to teamwork; in fact, those who can produce results have no desire to carry the rest, and those who cannot produce have no desire to work alone or on a team. Before we can even begin to approach teamwork, companies will need to get rid of the "dead weight" and keep the people of integrity.

I think that they fear to think because they have learned that if they ever let out what they really think that this would upset voters and that's not good. They learn to think what their advisers tell them to think.

Go shamwow I have a shamwow and I think they are great. The thing that I like the most about it is that you can ring it out over and over again and it keeps working great. The Shamwow has a lot going for it.
