The other day I was having dinner at Golden Corral, and the server was very friendly and quick to ask if I needed help with anything. He had left a card on my table earlier. It had little check boxes to rate the service and the quality of the food. But, I didn’t have any … [Read more…]
Discounting sends clients to your competition Reading is one thing. Doing is another thing entirely. But, it’s a great way of looking at it.
I bought flowers for Cami before she went on her sister’s retreat. I had also made her my little heart turtle design that was just a line drawing at that point.

My trip to North Carolina has been delayed until tomorrow. The car is in the shop getting a new ball joint installed. I also have a new turn signal lens to install. Those fixes should allow it to pass inspection, and then I can get the registration taken care of. Since I won’t have a … [Read more…]
