My cousin Linda has decided to start up a new business as a Personal Chef in Warrenton VA. For the past couple of years she has been telling me that if she was looking for a new job in her area that she would become a Personal Chef. She thinks that there is a pretty good market for that Personal Chefs in her area. She recently found herself on the wrong end of a pink slip and decided it was time to put her money where her mouth was. So she has taken the plunge and is starting to advertise her new business around town.
Along with the traditional newspaper ads, she has joined a business networking group and has placed an ad with the Warrenton Business Directory website. She says that she has met a really wonderful woman named Yvonne who runs the Warrenton Favorites website.
This website is a great source for people who are looking for Warrenton businesses. In addition to business listings the website has Warrenton, Virginia restaurant coupons and general business Warrenton Virginia coupons. I think it is nice to know that there are local web-based business directories that focus on small companies. I hope that both the website and Linda’s business prosper!
Do you use a satellite service like Direct TV, or a cable television service for your television service at home? There sure seems to be a lot of heavy competition in that area! There are so many different Direct TV Packages and Direct TV Deals that it is hard to resist the pull of ordering Direct TV Service! Especially if you are a sports fan!
There are so many sports channels on satellite television that it would be easy to watch sports twenty four hours a day! Almost all of my neighbors and relatives have satellite service. Apparently we live in an area that doesn’t have cable, so antenna and satellite are the only two options available right now. But even many of the people that I work with have the option to have either and they still opt for the satellite – they say that they have a lower rate and that they are very happy with the service.
Don’t you just hate it when a bruise pops up on your body and you can’t remember what you bumped into, and when you bumped into it? I have a bruise on my right arm – right where a nurse would give me a shot. And it feels like a got a shot in the arm there. And I can feel a lump! But I haven’t had a shot in that arm in many many years! I don’t know if I should just shrug it off or call the doctor! The bump is the part that worries me a little bit; I’ve never really noticed a bruise to have a lump in it! Hmm…. well, come to think of it there have been “bumps on my head” or should I say “knots” when I was a kid and hit my head on something. I guess if it doesn’t get better in a few days I’ll give the doctor a call.
I’ve been asked to speak at a local school that is having their “career day” in a couple of months about finding your own niche. I have to say that I have mixed emotions about doing that, so I’ve told them that I’d think about it. After all, it’s not like I’m one of those famous celebrity speakers or motivational speakers that get on the circuit of speaking engagements and get paid big bucks for their speeches! I’m not even really comfortable speaking in front of large audiences!
So I’m going to be doing some research on getting some good speaking tips to help me figure out what to say and do. My wife says she’ll help me by being my audience while I rehearse my speech. She told me to write my speech down, and to rehearse it on our video camera and then play it back to see how I’m coming across. I think that will help a lot! Isn’t technology wonderful!
I’ve been seeing a lot of strange looking bugs lately that I’ve never seen before. My wife told me that they are called stinkbugs! I’ve never heard of stinkbugs, and told her that she was nuts. But wouldn’t you know it, she went online and went to google’s images and typed in stinkbugs and the pictures that came up sure were stinkbugs! Well, it seems that these critters won’t damage our house, but will damage plants. And if you squish one it will stink so bad that you’ll wish you hadn’t! And apparently the stink lingers. I don’t know how long it lingers, but I guess I’m not willing to squish one and find out for myself.
