You can negotiate anything! - 10/29/07 06:00 PM

I've been receiving a lot of emails lately in response to blogs and I've also been receiving questions from young women just entering the business world. One of the questions I'm seeing frequently is, " How do I become a great negotiator when it scares me to death? "
Women are born negotiators! Think about how much you negotiate everyday in your personal life. You negotiate with your friends about where to go to dinner....what movie to see. If you have children you negotiate about what they will eat for dinner or whether or not they can go to that … (5 comments)

Benefits I have received from blogging. - 10/22/07 03:22 PM

 
When you blog about local events and businesses it's a great way to meet new people and get some much needed information out to people in your area.
Make sure you have found out as much detail as possible...times, hours of operation, special events, directions, contact information, etc. I am finding out that when I post something I will receive at least 3 or 4 emails asking questions that I don't know the answer to. I have gotten into the habit of calling the Zoo or The Art Museum to get more specific details on an event to … (3 comments)

Halloween trivia! Did you know? - 10/04/07 10:44 PM

 
Samhainophobia refers to an abnormal and persistent fear of Halloween. This time of year may also stir up other phobias such as the fear of: cats (ailurophobia), witches (wiccaphobia), ghosts (phasmophobia), spiders (arachnophobia), the dark (nyctophobia), and cemeteries (coimetrophobia).
The tradition of bobbing for apples came from the Romans.
The movie "Halloween" was filmed in only 21 days in 1978 on a very limited budget.  The movie was shot during the spring and used fake autumn leaves.  Also, while the film is set in Illinois, all the cars have California license plates.
Halloween is the second most commercially successful … (3 comments)

The Farm is home to more than 1,000 animals representing more than 100 different species from six continents.

Drive-in theater's. Are they still around? - 10/02/07 11:25 AM

I love the drive-in. The very first time I went to the drive-in I was about 3. Of course, I remember playing on the playground that was more important at 3 then actually watching the movie. What I do remember is seeing all my friends and their parents there on the weekends. Every weekend. I was born in 1953 so this was in 1956 and the old black and white films were what we watched. Let's all go to the movies.
The food at the concession stand was another attraction. Hot dogs, candy, soda all those things guarunteed to keep … (13 comments)
