Go Big Network

I see all kinds of things that people invent or dream up, and I have asked myself on more than one occasion, "why didn't I think of that?" Here is one of those ideas. You make a website and name it Go Big Network, and have it as a connection for people who need funding for a project or an idea.

The Go Big Network offers more than just funding. You can get business plans, and either find a job or post job. They have been featured in several places like Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and The Street.com just to name a few.

Also, don't forget to check them out if you are looking for a job.

Representin'


There is nothing wrong with showing a little hometown pride on your house. I love how Modesto is spelled with a dollar sign for the "s". If I were a betting man, I'd say this guy is gunning for Mayor of Modesto.

Truth in Advertising


You may have to click on the picture to see the underlined portion for this short sale that says: WHY RENT WHEN YOU CAN OWE?

At least there is truth in advertising here. I'm just waiting for the sign that says:
WHY RENT WHEN YOUR ASS CAN BE OURS FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS?


It's so refreshing to see some honesty in this day and age.

Cars



I have been doing some traveling lately, mostly due to my work. To my surprise I have seen quite a few new cars on the road, and one of them I see a lot is the Hyundai Genesis. It's a nice car, and although I am not in the new car market this is one I would be looking at if I were. Another car would be the Toyota Corolla. My wife used to have a Toyota Corolla before she met me, and she is a such sweetheart and would let her then 16 year old brother borrow the car. I've heard some stories about how she'd come out to her car in the morning and find mud on the bottom and tumbleweeds sticking out from underneath. According to her brother, that car took a beating and kept on running like a charm. It's still a touchy family subject.

The choices are hard for me because I would need a nice tow vehicle. I like to be on the water, so I need something to tow a boat or jet ski, and I like the look of the Toyota Land Cruiser. I know a few people with these and they love it.

If you are into getting really good gas mileage, then the
Toyota Prius is the car for you. You get 48mpg in the city and 45mpg on the highway. The good thing about the high MPG, is you can drive a long ways and not have to stop to gas up. All I would be stopping for is to let Howard out. I wonder which vehicle Howard would like the best? My guess is the Toyota Land Cruiser. He's a big guy and would need more space than a Prius.

Pests



When we looked at the house we recently purchased, there were a ton of Ants and when I say a ton I mean a ton. The person who lived here didn't like to have any treatments for any pests. To me that's just disgusting. We had a pest inspection done and got a nice pest inspection report back. When you buy a house, be sure to get a pre-purchase pest inspection done. They are well worth the money, and they inspect your entire house. You can ask for a copy of the inspection after its complete.

We hired a pest control company to control the ants and within a day they were all gone with none to be seen ever since. They are safe for your pets too, once the application has dried. Even if you already own, it's not a bad idea to get a pest inspection done. You can see if you have any around, and if you do you can prevent any damage or control further damage. There are so many options, and some are pretty high tech like the thermal camera that is used by a pest inspection company in Sydney with some nice testimonials.

My 2 Cents

A long time ago, my dad told me 3 things run this country:

1. Communication - The media is a very powerful tool. Just Barrack Obama.
2. Education - From our grade schools to our universities minds are being molded and shaped.
3. Transportation - Gas prices affect the cost of everything. Did you see prices drop on any goods that were raised when gas was over $4/gallon. No? Me either, but I guarantee that when gas prices go back up, prices on goods will go up again.

I read a blog of someone crying about how they had lost over $30,000 on their 401K this year, which is sad and I felt bad for them, but then they said that 'social security isn't looking so bad now.' WHAT? Do you think that there is going to be funding for social security if your 401K is circling the drain? I don't, and I have never in my life wanted to depend upon the government for my financial security.

I truly do not understand the mindset of those individuals who think that the government should support them. I don't want the government to tell me how to live my life, but that is what is being taught and now, Barrack Obama is the answer to everyone's prayers and it baffles me. It sickens me when people chant, "Obama! Obama! Obama!" instead of "USA! USA! USA!" We didn't hear people chanting, "Clinton! Clinton! Clinton!" or "Bush! Bush! Bush!" Not like we do for Obama. Nothing against the guy, but it is scary to see someone in power worshipped like he is. Pretty soon I have a feeling we'll be the United States of Obama.

There are three parties in this country:

1. A very strong Democrat party who leans toward socialism, and is ruining, I mean running our country.
2. A very weak Republican party who does not know what has hit it, and sides with the Democrats because they don't want to ruffle feathers.
3. A conservative party who wants smaller government, less spending, fewer taxes, and a price to pay instead of a bailout.

Remember AMC, American Motor Corp from the 1960's? They failed...life goes on.

I may get slammed by some of you who disagree with me for what I have said, but I just wanted to say it while I'm still free to do so.
