Selling on EBAY

2008-05-17T16:59:00.003-04:00

Friends, hi again! New to the family of late is selling items on EBAY...It is an interesting hobby and has been slightly profitable! I've been able to find lots of items at good prices and then resold at a profit, though at times it can be frustrating! EBAY is a great way to get rid of old stuff around the house and getting a few bucks out of it. Try it your self and see if EBAY can't make you a few dollars on old stuff...people will buy just about anything, so don't think there is no money to be made on EBAY. I've seen people selling coupons! COUPONS!!!

And people are buying, buying, buying if it is items in good shape! YOU CAN SELL, SELL, SELL ON EBAY! I've sold lots of sports cards: baseball MLB cards, basketball NBA cards, and NFL football cards!

A Few Days in Atlanta

2008-04-13T15:27:00.002-04:00

This week while the Master's was going on the family and I have gotten to the sights and fun to be found in Atlanta. We bought each member of the family season passes to Six Flags...a great deal, all the visits you want for a year for $70 (plus a coupon book worth $300 of deals, including free tickets for friends on certain days such as Mother's Day and Father's Day)! We had a great time on Tuesday, the rides, food, etc.
Over the weekend, my wife and I went to Medieval Times in NE Atlanta. It was a great show and great food as well! Then on the next day we visited the Renaissance Festival just outside of Atlanta. For anyone who has been to a Renaissance Festival, you know it can be quite interesting. We had a great time and we know others will as well!

SUPER BOWL Changes I'd Like to See

2008-02-11T01:54:00.000-05:00

The Super Bowl this year was great as (almost) always! Congrats to the Giants and their rabid fans!

That said here are some changes I'd like to see for future Super Bowls. Some of these changes are in the NFL's power and some in the hands of our elected officials. First I'd like to see the game moved to Saturday because the parties can go much farther into the night with no worry of having to "get up and go to work" on Monday morning! That's in the league's control, the next is in our lawmakers control.

Move President's Day to the day after Super Bowl Sunday(or Saturday)! I don't think Washington or Lincoln will mind, them being deceased and all. All Federal, State, and most Local government employees and offices are closed as well as banks and some other industries as well! And the day after the Super Bowl is the LEAST PRODUCTIVE WORK DAY in America! It is also the day with the most absenteeism! So help the economy by eliminating that least productive work day AND giving an extra day (or two) for fans to savor Super Bowl weekend! It sounds like a WIN-WIN situation for the league and the nation as well!
