Tired of the West

I need to find a place that has a slower pace. So I was doing some research and came across some nice Real Estate in Charleston South Carolina. This place just might be the next place I move to. I have spent hours and hours just browsing Homes For Sale in Charleston. I am a dreamer and sometimes its just a dream. I have lived in so many different areas but one place I have not lived in is Charleston or anywhere in the South East. I wonder what I would do for a living? I wonder if Howard could survive another trip across the Country? Not likely he is getting pretty old and has a tough time getting around. So we just might have to wait a bit before we really get serious about moving to Charleston.But in the mean time I can see as many houses as my heart desires right online. I also have to convince Julie to move.
What I have in my favor is she has been there before and liked it.

Moving

Have you ever just wanted to move just for the fun of it? If it was an easy task I would move and hire some Movers to move all of my stuff. But its not that easy. Lets say I was moving to Toronto,I would have to hire some Toronto Movers. Where in the world would I find Moving Companies in Toronto? Or an International Movers?
The problem is Howard is getting old and has no desire to ever move again. He also wants to stay in the USA. I wonder if they have orange ones in Canada?

Dallas

I love to follow real estate all over the country, and it seems that one part of the country where the housing seems to be not so bad is Texas. I have even heard recently of a few large companies that are moving to Texas. Housing seems to be fairly reasonable when looking at Dallas homes for sale.

I could spend all day looking at Dallas homes for sale not that I do though.

Texas has always appealed to some part of me. Perhaps it is the wide openness of the state, and the welcoming people who live there. Anytime I have been in Texas, the people are very down-to-earth and friendly. I don't think I could convince Howard and Julie to move there, as they like living near the coast and mountains and the mild California weather (so do I), and they both swear they are never moving again, but I'll keep my eye on some Dallas Real Estate just for the fun of it.

My dog is a cat

The Author of this post is Darius Boone

Today was such a long day at work. I couldn’t wait to get home, make dinner and pour a big glass of red wine. I emptied the mailbox of today’s delivery containing my latest Netflix DVD, a save-the-date for an upcoming wedding and a flyer for Tv by Direct. I hadn’t decided what to make for dinner yet, but realized as I walked into the house that dinner would be put on hold for a bit. It seems my cat had found himself a little bored today and decided to shred a whole roll of toilet paper all over my house. When I decided to get a cat instead of a dog 8 years ago, I was under the impression that they were lower maintenance than dogs, but not this cat. He managed to get into everything and did not have the typical aloof personality of most cats; he craved the attention and companionship of man’s best friend. So, if you’re thinking about getting a pet, remember that you may end up getting what you wanted in the first place regardless of what you choose!

Casinos

What do you do in your spare time? I do alot of Internet surfing and I come across all kinds of sites,for instance one of my most recent is Online Casinos for USA Players.There are all kinds of games on that site. i myself do not play for real money and im not sure its legal in the USA. You could go check at Poker Sites USA and get back to me.I am into the real live casinos and not so much into the Best US Poker Sites There seems to be a ton of new games that you can play. I stick to the basic games of Poker or a slot here and there thats about all I play these days.

Cashing out

A few years ago I knew a guy who was cashing out and moving to Texas. In the back of my mind I was thinking hhhhmmm, why would he want to move to Texas? Now I hear about more and more people leaving California and buying Dallas Real Estate.My sister has been there several times, and loves it. She takes her vacations there year after year, and I think out of curiosity the next time she goes, which should be very soon knowing her, I will ask her to pick up some real estate magazines for me so I can check out some Dallas Homes for Sale .I am a real estate magazine junky, but if you would rather just see Dallas Homes for Sale through the internet you can click the links.It can be confusing to buy real estate these days. The links above should have some very helpful information for you. Maybe you are not in a position to buy now, but it is never to late to think about how you want to spend your retirement years.

Something New

I have thought of a new item to sell, but I will need a way to get my name out there. After doing some research I found IDX Solution. It is a way to capture leads, and I am sure I will need to do some of that. It is so hard at first to get your product out there in the general public, but with some persistance I am sure it will be seen. There will be challenges, and some critisizing, but it's all part of the adventure. Who knows I just might hit the jackpot with my new item. Even if this one does not make it, I have many many more to try in the future.

To many plants

I like to grow things like trees and flowers but the problem I am having is I am running out of space so I will be looking into getting some plant hangers for the back patio.
Then after I have filled up the back patio with all of my plants I will be working on the inside of the house. I may start with a corner vanity. I will see how it goes as to what I decide to do next.Who knows I might end up in the living room and end up putting an asian chest somewhere out there. Keep in mind that all of this has to go thru my wife and she is the one with the taste its sure not me. I might just wait until she gets home to tackle any of this. I do like living on the edge so I may surprise her.

Real estate in Hawaii

Of all the places in the entire USA Hawaii is high on my choice of dream places to live. Yeah I know its expensive, just look at the real estate in Hawaii. They are not too bad though considering it is almost a perfect climate. Maui real estate has held up pretty well, and time will tell if it comes down as much as California has.

Back in my living on a boat days, I had quite a few friends who sailed to Hawaii. Some stayed and others came back ASAP. Sailor Sam was one of them (great guy). Sam if you're out there I would love to hear more of your stories. For you clowns who think its a cake walk to sail there, or dream about it, just so you know its about a 12-16 day trip on a sailboat from California, depending upon how fast your boat is. There are not any places along the way to get food or anything else you may of forgotten. Its a long long sail. Unfortunately Walmart and Taco Bell have not made floating establishments yet, but if it was feasible you can bet Walmart would have done it by now. They'd be selling China made pirate eye patches and hook hands at reduced prices.

If you do get to Hawaii, don't forget to look at some Hawaii real estate. If you're there send me a real estate catalog. I collect them much to my wife's dismay. She made me throw out a stack of them today, and it broke my heart.

So, if you are reading this at work right now, and you're hating your job because your boss is a complete tool, and you want to pretend you are working really really hard on that really really important research project check out the Kauai MLS instead. Dream about telling your boss to stick it as you rip off your tie and storm out of the office because YOU ARE MOVING TO HAWAII!!!

New recipes for pizza Wednesday

In our household while I was a kid growing up, we always had pizza Wednesdays. Now most of the time that meant ordering in pizza and scarfing it down before we all headed off to church for Sunday night services. Well, I thought it would be fun to continue doing that with my own family. But the thing is that I didn't want to just order it in. I always loved pizza and looked forward to the middle of the week. But I really want to give my kids some better pizza to look forward to.

I was looking online for some good pizza recipes and as I was doing that I saw the site DomainNames.com. After I read that some I decided to buy a domain on there and start a blog called Pizza Wednesdays with recipes that I come up with and fix.

I told my husband and he thought that it sounded like a great idea. Now if I can just find enough other things to fill in the rest of the week between Wednesdays.

Chicago

On a recent trip to Chicago I stopped by the Suites Collection. What is the Suites Collection? I myself had no idea so I started asking around.Here is what I found out.They own and operates several boutique serviced office or managed office suite locations in the city of Chicago. With today's new free lance economy, shared office space such as the properties operated by the Suites Collection provide free lancers, artists, consultants, designers and marketers the flexible space they need to get their business off and running.Sounds like a nice place to me. The Suites Collection properties are located in River North and the Loop in the city of Chicago. The Suites Collection also offers virtual offices and conference room rentals. So if your looking for serviced offices Chicago this might be just perfect. Or if your looking for serviced office spaces Chicago it would be worth checking out.

Tickets to anywhere

I have a friend who wants to see Avril Lavigne I do not even know who this nor have I ever heard of this person. They asked me where can they get Avril Lavigne Tickets? I gave them a look like WHO??????? I must live in a cave because they also asked me if I can get Pageant Of The Master Tickets? Once again I gave the look that I have no idea what you are talking about. I ask them if they wanted some Nassau Coliseum tickets? Of course I do they answered. So since I am in the game playing mood I ask how about some United Center tickets? Yep they will take these too. Alright how about some Madison Square Garden tickets? Of course so I had to ask Is your life just going out to see any group or any Stadium? Yep it sure is they replied.

Gold or a House?

If you had $100,000, which would you buy Gold Bullion,Gold IRA or a house? That's a tough one for me.But I think I would buy Bullion. Looking at the last 10 years, a home versus gold coins, it seems that the gold has held its value better. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm an easy-going guy, and I have nooo problem with that.

I have heard commercials about how gold has never been worth zero, and it always reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad bought some gold bullion. He actually buried it. I kid you not! He went out in the back yard like a golden retriever, and dug a hole to put it in. I remember it very well for two reasons. I was with him when we buried the gold bullion. He got out a gold coin and showed it to me. I think it was 10 oz, and at that time the price was around $250-$300 an oz. The other reason is that he told me if they were needed for some reason in the winter, we would be out of luck, because of the ground being frozen to about 2 feet down.

I also remember that about 2 years later we were going to dig up the gold and we could not find it. This was not in the city so its doubtful anyone saw us, but not impossible. We did this a few times, and would bury it in between two trees so it would be easy for us to find. All of the times we buried gold it was found, but not that one time.

Ahhh the father-son memories! This was back in the 60's and 70's when we still did things the old school way. Somewhere, in a quaint little town in northern Illinois, there is 10 ounces of gold that will likely never be found.

Canada Drugs

I normally try my best to support USA products, but its getting harder and harder to do. I had to get some medication at the local drug store and I waited almost an hour after I went to the counter and told there I am here to pick up my order.It was called in 3 hrs earlier. So I now am considering calling Canada Drugs when I need some medication. If its not important that I have it now I am calling them up and see what they have to offer. I see no reason to wait an hour for something that was called in 3 hrs earlier. I am surprised that they do not make me wait for over the counter drugs. So when I go buy Lipitor I am considering using these guys.

Hawaii

Of all the places in the entire USA Hawaii is high on my choice of dream places to live. Yeah I know its expensive, just look at the real estate listings in Hawaii. They are not too bad though considering it is almost a perfect climate. Honolulu has held up pretty well, and time will tell if it comes down as much as California has.

Back in my living on a boat days, I had quite a few friends who sailed to Hawaii. Some stayed and others came back ASAP. Sailor Sam was one of them (great guy). Sam if you're out there I would love to hear more of your stories.

Moving Overseas

Sometimes I just feel like moving. I use to think about Moving overseas. There is no reason for this, except that maybe it is the challenge for me. Finding the right home, packing,finding the right International Movers, or an International Moving Company. There also are Overseas Moving companys and International Shipping companys. My wife's father was a builder, and whe she was growing up she moved quite a bit within the same town, but they did not use any moving companies. Her extended family would help out, and I also think it helped that they would make short moves. She and I have moved several times throughout our marriage, and I swear that if we ever do it again we are hiring a moving service. We lived away from the nice extended family members, but God bless the people who did pitch in to help us. They saved our marriage when we moved from Arizona to Illinois. The last one did us in, and my back is not getting any younger. My wife just swears that we are not doing it again...unless it is to a better home in the same town.

The best thing about moving is getting rid of stuff we hadn't used or seen in years. It is so therapeutic to get rid of junk. I don't understand hoarders. Anyway, we sold or gave away almost everything at a garage sale before we moved from Illinois to California, and when we arrived at our new place we bought new things. For us, it was cheaper than hiring a truck to move us across the country. The only thing of importance furniture-wise, is a rocking chair that has been in my wife's family for almost 100 years. So we made it out of Illinois with a large, rented trailer. An enclosed one, lest you think we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies headed for Californ-y.

Moving, especially cross-country, is a HUGE job. You want to make sure you have a reputable company moving you. Even small moves can be a pain in the neck!

If any of you are going to be moving, and have too much that you cannot part with, be sure to get moving quotes We got a few before we made our decision. Happy moving! Glad it is you and not me.

Cleaning tips

We all have our little accidents like a spill of a soda in the car.If this happens you are going to need car carpet cleaning tips. I myself an guilty of that one. Or maybe you have a dog and you will need carpet cleaning pet odor removal austin
Lucky for me my dog Howard is very well trained and in all the years he has had only a few accidents. One of them was in the car while driving down the freeway so I had to come up with a few carpet cleaning tips pet stains. He has been across the country and not one accident in a 32 hr drive. He did his fair share of crying but no accidents.

San Diego

California takes its fair share of bad news. Like anywhere there are nice cities and not so nice cities. San Diego would fall in the nice city category. Its a fairly large city if your into that but at the same time there are some areas that are isolated from all of the hustle and bustle. If your interested in San Diego I found a website that has lots of San Diego information including the Real Estate news.
Way way back when I lived on a boat I met a guy who had sailed up to Santa Barbara from San Diego and he told me it took him 3 days and he loved the boat life. He had a dog that would actually dive about 3 feet deep to retrieve what ever he would throw in the water. I was amazed how much that dog loved to dive. He asked about the Real Estate market in Santa Barbara and at that time it was soft but if he had bought a house then even after all of the crashing of houses he still would be ahead about $400,000. Not to bad but I think he loved the boat life to much and most likely would of gone nuts living on land.

Home Inspections

If your looking to buy a home or maybe you just want a pest inspection done in the Philadelphia area I can recommend a great company. The company is ValueGuard Home Inspections and has done over 40,000 inspections over the past 14 years. The inspectors are all ASHI certified and highly experienced. The main market is Greater Philadelphia, but they also serve much of PA, NJ, and Delaware. They also do radon testing. So if your buying a home and need some Philadelphia home inspections done click on the links and check them out.

Australia Real Estate

I have never left the US but I would like to someday travel to Australia.

When I am there I will be checking on the Real Estate because where ever I go that's what I do. I also check out Land for Sale too but its getting harder to find that type of Property. I see some houses that are worthless but its the land that makes them worth anything.I have no idea what the market has done there so if anyone reading this can let me know by leaving a comment or two I would appreciate it.
