Did You Really Want To Cuss?

A 6-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom. "You know what?" says the 6-year-old. "I think it's about time we start cussing." The 4-year-old nods his head in approval. The 6-year-old continues. "When we go downstairs for breakfast I'm going to say hell and you say ass."

"OK!" The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.

Their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year-old what he wants for breakfast. "Aw hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios."

WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear every step. The mom locks him in his room and shouts "You can just stay there till I let you out!"

She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old, and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast young man?

"I don't know," he blubbers, "But you can bet your ass it won't be Cheerios!"

Use The Internet To Make Cash?

Yes that's right there are people out there who are making hundreds of thousands of dollars. No, I am not one of them and I am not trying to sell you anything excepth the idea that there are ways of making some extra cash by using the internet. The amount depends on how hard you work at it, the amount of research you put into it as well as how lucky you are.

The worst thing you can do is to join an affiliate that will take money off you and provide you with a ready made website. What they don't tell you is that there are hundreds if not thousands of people before you who got their website first and no-one will probably ever see yours. If they never see you website how will you make a sale.

The way around this is to have your own domain so that you can promote your site and get those visitors. There is a fantastic article on my forum that will help both experienced and new webmasters get their site to the top of Google search engines. I have found the best company to host your site is lunarpages and it would definately pay for you to check them out before making any final decisions.

Rent Money Is Dead Money!



Have you ever heard the phrase “Rent money is dead money” or “There’s no better investment than bricks and mortar”? My father burnt those phrases into my mind. He made sure I realized the importance of them because he knew it would set me up for the future. . It's easy enough to prove, just look at prices of houses today and compare it with prices 10 years ago. He showed me he was right by example. There he is living comfortably in his own home while many others who are still renting are finding it extremely hard to make ends meet.

I would suggest that this is a good plan no matter where in the world you live. Arizona Real Estate Listings will provide the earnest investor or first home buyer with many homes to choose from. Part of the Holm Group they are here to assist you whether it’s a residential purchase, re-sale, investment property, or a commercial purchase/lease that you are looking for, you can rely on The Holm Group to unsure a smooth and successful transaction.

Once you own your home fully or even partially you can use the equity in your home to help you purchase another, and then another. Before you know it you will be on your way to retirement.

A Blonde Learns To Fly!

A blonde went to a flight school insisting she wanted to learn to fly.
As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed to instruct her by radio on how to pilot the solo helicopter.
He took her out, showed her how to start it and gave her the basics, and sent her on her way.
After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in.
"I'm doing great! I love it! The view is so beautiful, and I'm starting to get the hang of this."
After 2000 feet, she radioed again, saying how easy it was to fly.
The instructor watched her climb over 3000 feet, and was beginning to worry that she hadn't radioed in. A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a mile away.
He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage.
When he asked what happened, she said, "I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got higher, I was starting to get cold. I can barely remember anything after I turned off the big fan!"

A Blonde And Jokes

There is a blonde, a redhead and a brunette on the stairway to heaven.

God says, "There are 3,000 steps and I'll tell you a joke on each 1,000th step you reach. If you laugh you go to hell."

So they start walking and reach to the first 1,000th step. God tells a joke, the brunette laughs and goes to hell.

Then on the 2,000th step God tells a joke, the redhead laughs and goes to hell.

On the 3,000th step God tells a joke, the blonde doesn't laugh and proceeds to the gate.

Suddenly, she bursts out laughing. God asks, "what are you laughing about?", so she replies, "I just got the first joke!".

What Is A Diamond Without A Band Of Gold?


Are you worried about the falling value of the dollar. Wouldn't you kike to invest in something that is secure and holds its value if not actually increases. If the answer is yes then you should do what most countries do. They invest in gold.

This can be done online and you can invest in several ways. You may choose to invest in gold bullion or for the more astute investor you could try gold coins. One would think over time that the coins may actually accrue more value over time. If gold isn't your cup of tea, then you may even try silver. I'd like to finish off with a little poem i wrote on some important aspects of gold.

Throughout the ages so I've been told
Mankind has always searched for gold
What's the alure of this beautiful mineral
Surely this lust is not behavioural

We all know that it's a thing of beauty
Is this why pirates count it as booty
Surely we all know it has many uses
Those who use it offer no excuses

What is a diamond without a band of gold
A rock on its own simply looks cold
Would you give a ring of plastic to your wife
Surely not it would land you in strife

Perhaps a band of wood would fit the bill
Come off it you dope, don't be a dill
No other metal but gold or silver will do
Anything else will land you in the poo

Gold is precious amd valuable as well
It's an investment as many will tell
Bullion or coins on the internet you can buy
And yes you can use plastic so don't be shy

Getting Customers Through That Door.


Have you ever wondered why some people succeed in business and others don't? A lot of it has to do with planning and customer relations. You have to make sure that you have a plan and have factored in all your costs and expenses and have enough to cover at least your first year of operation. The last thing you want to happen is to go broke before you even start.

As for customers they can make or break your business. You want to make sure they are well looked after not only so they spend their money but because you want repeat sales and you want the to tell everybody what a great experience that had when dealing with you.

Of course the first thing in any new business is to get those customers through your doors or to your website. You may want to advertise in your local rag, run a leaflet drop or advertise on many of the local notice boards. On should never forget the importance of Local Marketing Opportunity when starting up a business.

Another great way to get your business noticed is get it listed on the Internet. Depending what you are selling you can reach a huge potential customer base. Of course you will need to use different strategies to get you new site noticed but this should not put you off, as there is a lot of help available to get you started. If you have the time you can do all the research yourself or if time is of the essence then you can pay someone to do it for you.

Whatever you do, remember once that customer gets to your site or steps through the front door you treat them like gold. Do that you have a better chance at success in any venture you choose to start.

Wedding Plans And Sky Diving.



For all of those who are reading this, I want you to know that as a married man of some twenty odd years, if I was to do it all again I’d like to do it all differently. Naturally I would have a hard task to convince the wife, but then it would certainly make for some interesting times. We had what you would call a traditional wedding, the white dress, the church and the limousines. I think I’d like to do something more exciting.

Imagine getting married while parachuting out of the plane. Naturally the ceremony would have to be quick (a definite plus) while in free fall, and once that was complete a quick kiss, the chutes open and you land in the midst of your cheering guests.

Just to be different how about a theme wedding. I love bowling so I would even consider having the wedding, photos and reception in a bowling alley. I’d make sure everyone came dressed in the “Happy Days” 60’s theme and that the cheap wedding favors matched the theme. There is so much one can do, it’s absolutely mind-boggling.

A Family Vacation Is What I Need


Holidays are around the corner
The families on my back
It would certainly be a corker
If I could get on the right track

Family Vacation Packages I need
That’s definitely the solution
I must act with fair speed
And it’s certainly my resolution

To go online to Fairfield Getaways
And to source my destination
Their site is simple and not a maze
It needs no translation

They have so many places to go
I could take the family to Hawaii
Or maybe they would prefer the snow
Perhaps Florida would be the bee’s knee

It’s certain I must decide
Should I book the weekend?
And take just my bride
But where shall I the children send

No, for sure the family I must take
For a holiday we all deserve
For a certainty this Holiday I must make
So good times we can all observe

For The Love Of A Car!


Men and women alike have always had a love for exotic cars. I am no different. Cars to me can be a thing of beauty and a wild beast all rolled into one. My favourite has always been the Ferrari, the prancing horse signifying that wild beast trapped under the hood ready to gallop at the slightest pressure on the accelerator. Of course it has to be read, and if I had a choice it would have to be the classic Dino Ferrari. I loved that car, and I had a chance to buy one once and I let it slip through my fingers, one of my life’s regrets.

Of course had JDM motors been around then I would have that car in my garage today. They could have organized everything for me including finance. They would have given me all the right advice so that I would not over finance the car. They would explain how the car loan would depend on the car's purchase price less down payment, rebates, and trade-in value. How other costs can influence how much loan I needed. They would also explain how any extras I would want would increase the actual loan and therefore the repayments. I would have had peace of mind. I may just have to go over there to see what cars they have on offer. Maybe my Dino is there waiting for me.

Vacation Time In Orlando.



Orlando Florida is a place that has changed so much in its short history. Some historians date the name Orlando as originating in 1836 when a Soldier named Orlando Reeves died in the area against an Indian tribe. He operated a sugar mill and plantation in Volusia County and some settlers found his name carved in a tree and assumed it was a marker for where it was buried so it became known as Orlando’s grave and later just Orlando.

Orlando became a typical western town full of bar brawls and gunfights, but no more today it is a robust and growing community full of things to do. In fact, its main industry today is tourism. Its not surprising that tourism is such a big industry when you consider what the place has to offer.

Orlando Florida is so much more than theme parks and sunshine! Yep it has theme parks so the kids will have a wow of a time. These theme parks include Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Islands of Adventure as well as water parks, golf (Yay Golf) and some of the best fishing in the world! Yet only 45 minutes away from the theme parks will take you to countryside very similar to the rolling hills and oak trees of the England.

Its got golf courses, romantic gondola rides, heaps of shopping places for the wife as well as many places to wine and dine her. If you’re looking for a place to stay then Orlando Vacation Home is the place to go. Simply go on line and search the site for that special place for you and your family to spend its next holiday.

Auto Insurance Online, Quick And Easy!


I have always thought it would be pretty rough being a woman driving all alone, especially at nights. So I wasn’t too amazed when I found out that there apparently is an insurance company that is offering their female customers the ultimate in protection. This company, Sheila’s Wheels has the ‘Buddy on Demand” scheme. Nope, you don’t phone for help, what you do in the case of suspicious characters is flip a switch and whammy; you get an instant male companion. You would have to get the timing right or they would be wondering what he was doing under the dash.

In regards to buying a car, one of the first things you have to remember is auto insurance online. Never, ever purchase a car and drive it home without having it insured first. Why? Because of Murphy! Yep you heard me, if you are ever dumb enough not to insure your vehicle, you can bet your bottom dollar that Murphy’s Law would strike you down with lightning, or at the very least you will have a crash on the way home.

Today, because of the Internet, there is no excuse not to get any form of insurance. It’s so easy now to go online and get the right package that you would be an absolute dolt not to get one straight away. So if you’ve just bought a car, don’t hesitate, get online now for your best insurance quotes.

I'm Joining The Paintball Craze


A friend of mine was telling me about this great experience he had on the weekend. Apparently the company he worked for had organized a skirmish of sorts for their employees. This involved getting into teams armed with guns. No not real guns, these were paintball guns and it’s a sport in which participants use these compressed air guns to shoot paintballs filled with colored paint at other players. It’s a great game that requires team work (or it did in their situation) and it's quite fun.

Apparently, although the equipment needed is often supplied, its always better to bring your own which is normally in better condition and more up to date. They say that cheap paintball gear is one of the best suppliers of anything you would ever need to get into this exciting sport. Zephyrpaintball.com was founded in 2004 with the idea of bringing low prices, customer service and fast shipping to the paintball world. Whether its guns (a large variety), goggles, masks or outfits, you can find it all here. Now my friend's trying to convince me to join this unique sport. I tell ya he won’t have to try too hard.

I Gotta Ge Me Some Van Racks


You know its unbelievable how you can buy a truck or a van thinking that you’ve solved all your space problems only to find out your still short on room. Sometimes it’s not the amount of space that stuffs you up but the size of the compartment. I mean you want to stick a ladder in your van, or skis, surfboard or whatever and it just won’t fit.

Thankfully van racks have the solutions to solve all these problems. They have a website offering a quick and easy accessory shopping experience. It doesn’t matter whether you have a car, truck or van they have all the accessories you will ever need. It doesn’t matter if its interior, exterior or towing accessories your after they are definitely the one stop shopping experience.

You can browse online by category, individual products or even brand names and have great online tips and suggestions. If your purchase is over $100 (for FedEx ground services within the Continental US - Excluding oversized items) they can even provide free shipping. I reckon the right van racks can solve my problem.
