Change is good…right?

Folks who want to make a dollar have got to be on their toes these days if they want to do it online. You want cheap business web hosting because you’ve got to keep your costs down. It’s only logical to do some research. Personally, I want one stop shopping so to speak. I’m not that savvy when it comes to design, so I’d like to have someone design, set up and host my ecommerce site…when I have one.
Eventually, I would need to be able to accept credit cards so I don’t want to monkey around with a couple different places. I want online support 24/7.

Where can ya go for inexpensive ecommerce hosting? I’d say that it’s a good idea to check out AQHost.  If you’re looking for ease in setting up your site, they’ve got a lot to offer.

If you want business hosting for your online store it can’t get any easier than with these folks. And if you’ve got questions or concerns, they get back to you lickety split.

What more could you ask? One stop shopping and you’re up and running, making cash in no time.
For those of you needing small business hosting, it’s wise to get the information and make an informed decision. Check them out and get your business going great guns, folks!

Why I don’t watch Larry King

Larry King creeps me out for a number of reasons, but the main thing is this: He lacks tact. While I am not some kind of huge Marie Osmond fan, I like to think of her as the sister I never wanted. She’s been a part of my life for a long time and I feel sorta protective of a woman who tells corny jokes AND laughs at them. I had a friend who worked with her brother Donny when he was in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat” and was  told that Donny was a stand up guy. I dig that. No diva moments. Cool…and while we’re at it, Marie is kickin’ butt on “Dancing with the Stars”…so when Larry dropped the ‘So, your son is in rehab’ business, I wanted to pimp slap him. It’s really none of our business.

I think she’s got enough going on without Larry King just throwing it out there. Sure, as a celebrity you give up your right to privacy–to a point. It would have been nice if he had asked her if she wanted to discuss that prior to air time. I only saw a clip of it and the look on her face said it all. Since I’m pretty sure she would never say the ‘f’ word, she still had that ‘WTF?’ look on her face. I wouldn’t have blamed her for saying “WTF?”–matter of fact, I would go right out and buy a copy of “Paper Roses” and play it in her honor.

Larry, I just don’t get you, man. Tact. Get some.

Marie, if you happen onto this blog, know that my kid thinks you’re pretty groovy with the corny jokes. You can adopt her. You’ll have more controversy. You’ll also be an instant grandma. Let me know what you want to do about visitation rights. AND keep your chin up. I’m sending you chocolate. It helps.

Larry King…oy.
Thus ends my rambling rant.

You don’t told me nothing.

I’ve got friends from all walks of life, from many different countries and I’ve dated like I was a representative from the United Nations, so I can tell you I love nothing better than a good accent. The challenge is that many of my friends have grandparents or parents who have had a rough go of it here in the states when it came to employment…due to their thick accents.
My friend Erik’s dad was an Engineering professor back in Russia, but here he was a cab driver, a janitor and finally a superintendant at an apartment building. His accent was and IS just too thick. I think it’s charming and cute, but there is a stigma attached and that’s unfortunate.
My friend Ana, whose mom came from Puerto Rico with little more than the clothes on her back and a desire for a more glamorous life, had a thick, thick accent. It used to make me laugh because it was so cute when she was going to nursing school.
Now, even though she’s been here for at least 30 years, she’s made the decision to lose her accent. She’s thinking about accent training and while I will miss her saying things like “You don’t told me nothing” when she means “You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know”, I know that she’ll be taken seriously as she moves forward in her quest for administrative duties in Nursing.
It’s important to be understood and it’s vital that we respect one another enough to communicate well.
Heck, I’ve got Scottish friends that I’ve had trouble understanding. It’s really a win/win for anyone who wants to reduce their accent.
I wonder if my dad’s people in Mississippi would qualify?
Heh…you know Southern folks have their own language.

Good luck out there…
