After checking my email this morning, my browser defaulted to a webpage that featured a story about tiny hotel rooms, complete with photos. Some of the rooms were so tiny that I am sure that I would get claustrophobic trying to sleep in one! One featured platform beds in some renovated drain pipes. That’s a novel idea indeed, but it only had a bed in it! What about temperature control? One of the hotels was in an airport and had no bathroom, saying that the customer could use the restrooms in the airport. I guess those folks aren’t supposed to need a shower or bath! And I had heard about the Japanese hotels where the rooms are only slightly bigger than a casket; this article had photographs of the rooms. Those rooms put me in mind of a sleeping berth in a sleeper car in a train.
Well, those are all novel ideas, but I’ll tell you this – give me a standard hotel room, complete with fancy bedroom sets that include a dresser and night stands, and a real bathroom with a shower in it! When I travel, I need room to stretch, and I don’t want to have to wait in line with a with a bunch of strangers to use a bathroom in the middle of the night!
Seems as if a lot of our friends and relatives have been moving down to North Carolina over the past few years. They seem to think that Wilmington NC real estate is a good investment, and they are enjoying the milder winters and the “genteel” lifestyle that “The South” has to offer.
One of my cousins has been studying up to get her realtors license because she thinks that she can actually make a living selling Wilmington NC real estate. Right now I would have a really hard time believing that anyone can make a living as a realtor!
I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever been to North Carolina other than to simply drive through on my way to Florida! I can’t really say that it looked much different than Virginia to me, but who am I to say?
This year I have seen so many more wild animals on the road and around the yard. Today I drove past a field and found a good sized black bear starring me down as I drove by ever so slowly. Now that is a first for me and I hope that I don’t see another one any time soon, except for maybe in a zoo.
I’ve found myself in a boat with a ton of other people that have used their credit cards in order to survive through these tough economic times. Things aren’t getting any better for any of the people that I find myself surrounded by. If anything things are getting worse and worse. I know several people that have lost their homes and have had to move in with relatives. And I know way to many people that are out of work and can’t find any employment anywhere.
I’ve done the best that I can in managing my finances, but I’ve slipped up a few times and I’d like the chance to repair my bad credit. So I’ve done some research on my laptop and see that there is a company by the name of DSI Solutions that advertises to “Repair Your Bad Credit” and I’m thinking of contacting them and seeing what they can do for me and my financial situation. I’ve known folks that have used these online credit repair services and have heard good things about what they have done in the past. So what the heck, I’ll give it a go as well, it’s just gotta get better!
