Driving Miss Daisy From time to time we come across a business or service that we think is worth a little added attention. So why this added interest in "Driving Miss Daisy", The name alone is intriguing enough to at least be curious about, to find out what this company offers.

Empower People Around the World...... $ 25.00 at the time Yesterday we noticed a post by Richard Ruggaber from LA, who by way of kiva.org is providing funding for "micro loans" to those in countries, situations and environments that would not otherwise be able to obtain a loan to start or grow their own small business. For Linda and I and in our little way we hope to pay it forward.

greater victoria: To Keep or not to Keep, that is the Question
- 04/23/11 04:44 AM
To Keep or not to Keep, that is the Question There are many great reasons for having a yard sale. Some people have yard sales before they move so they don't have to pack and ship belongings they aren't using. Sometimes they are updating the look of their home and sell their old belongings to make money and room for the new ones. Sometimes your children just grow like weeds and rapidly outgrow both their clothes and their toys. It could also simply be the desire to purge all those items you've held onto for so long, thinking you'd find … (7 comments)

Did you know that April 19th is “get to know your customer day”? An odd reason to celebrate or have a party, but a great reason for us to have an honest discussion. In this cold, impersonal world we live and work in, it is rare to actually know the people you work with, buy from, or associate with on a more casual level. Which is Sad, Don’t you agree? Knowing interesting things about people certainly makes for some interesting conversations!
