Like a lot of people, Its TIME for a Change ....

I have decided after lots of thinking, talking with the wifey, and pondering what the outcome could be, I am selling everything!
Well, maybe not everything, but just about all of it has to go.

We will obviously keep our bed, a couple of TV's, a computer or 2, and some clothes and food, but just about everything else, has to be sold.

We are attempting to simplify our life. Its not going to be an easy task, and we are not all that concerned with how much money we will get from all the sales, but to be able to have a cleaner house would be worth it all if we can get it done by spring.

We are also thinking of moving south, really far south too, DFW, Tx. in specific. Nothing is done until we even sell the house, and get new jobs, but this is the ultimate goal eventually.

I know all this may be a shock, but it has been coming on for quite sometime, and its about time for a Change - so, we are goin' for it, now while we still can.

Thanks for reading, and come on, buy my stuff!

Happy Thanksgiving to ANYONE that reads this!

Hope you have a great holiday!

Eat lots of turkey!

And no matter what you do - be THANKFUL for the things you have, and do not even think about the things you dont have.

Things that I am thankful for - on a daily basis, but moreso on days like tomorrow:
My Family - Wife and ALL 3 kids :)
My job - Even though it may not be the greatest - I have a job!
My car - it is still running and getting me back and forth.
My house - it is still home, no matter how far it is from civilization.
My Honesty/Integrity - Something that NOBODY can take from me.

Also, I am thankful I am still alive, and in relatively good health.

Thank the GOOD LORD that he has given me what I do have - and I have to say, I HAVE A LOT!

Whatever you do tomorrow - make sure you get to eat some good food and spend some quality time with the ones you care about - that's what I am doing :)

Happy Happy Turkey Day to EVERYONE :)

The .TV extension is getting a BIG BOOST!

WOW is all I can say. Even though this domain extension has been out for a while, I have never seen so much interest in it as I have right now. While Demand Media just had their press release (check it out here) and now that they are offering free tools to help you build a site (check that out here) it will be an amazing journey through the process.

There are also a few sites to help along the way too. Just check out these sites and see what you find to help the BOOST:

AllThings.tv
Exclusively.tv

And there is also a great forum too, check out this post on Namepros here which list's a bunch of sites that have already been created using these tools.

I have one question to ask (and I know this is not a good question because I already know the answer) - Does any other domain extension give you tools to use, for FREE?

Customer Service and YOU ...... my thoughts

Well, just recently I was pondering customer service issues. I went to have some lunch at one of my favorite places (Subway) and after getting my lunch I noticed on the counter that they are now selling pretzels! They have pizza, cheese, plain and a couple others as well, and I thought, wow, when did they start selling these? So, of course I asked.

Funny thing is though, in America where I live, near one of the largest cities in the WORLD, Chicago, there are a lot of people who do not speak english, and thats fine, not a big deal as America is a Great Big Melting Pot!

After asking this SIMPLE question - "Hey, When did you guys start selling Pretzels"

Not ONE person in the store understood my question!

The first thing that someone asked is if I want to buy one? I said, I just wanted to know when you started selling them. To my surprise, nobody could answer. Not only that, but nobody understood - still! Grrrrrrrrr.

I personally think that if business owners want to hire people that do not speak english, thats fine, no problem at all!

Just do NOT put them in front of end user customers, especially me!

Do you have any customer service stories you would like to share? Please, leave a comment and share it with the world :)
