Buy Antivirus Software - Get Cyberdefender!

Are you needing to Buy Antivirus Software. Most people need to rethink this and look into something different than what they are now using. If this is the case with you the antivirus software that you need to review is Cyberdefender.

When you review this software you may find that it is what you want rather than the old McAfee, Symantec, and Panda software. When you check it out you may even find that it does the job you need better than these other named softwares.

With CyberDefender's security suite you receive real-time security updates, break through technology, and full compatibility with other security software. Compare to McAfee, Symantec, and Panda and save $150! Protect your PC with the CyberDefender Early Detection Center plus you get LIVE technical support for any problem with your computer (one time) and 2 GB online backup.

What more could you ask for than all of those features. This sounds like great software and is something that I will definitely look into the next time I need to renew my anti-virus software.

So, again, check it out! What do you have to loose except for not having excellent protection for your computer, your important electronic documents and your entire cyber presence.

That is what I think for now.

Americana - Cattle Sale

Great when within the confines of "the Job" I can go to the Cattle Auction and watch American at work. The cattle Auction is a sale but much more than just a sale.

Mom and Pop come to watch the calves sell once a year. The cattle buyer is there every week and has a "motion" conversation with the Auctioneer and the kid watches in awe as the "fast talk" continues and the cattle move through at a fast pace.

Americana at work but fleeting. Fewer every year and the one I attended today is probably to pass in the next two years to the progress of a shopping mall.

What the Cell Phone Sees - Greers Ferry Lake

Sometimes we forget the beauty that we have in Arkansas. The picture does not do justice!

Go Hogs Go

Arkansas has a chance tomorrow to win their second SEC game against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Do you think they will?

Do you think they will choke?

Do you think they are improving?

Do you think Casey Dick can pass the ball?

All of this and more!

Just wait till tomorrow and we will know!

What You Gonna Be This Year?

Halloween Costumes and trick or treating is always fun and Hillbilly Willy might try something different to wear this year to scare the kids.

Willy usually just puts on his everyday redneck, hillbilly clothes and the kids think the Willy is in costume. This year, however, willy is going to maybe try out a villain costume from one of the popular movies of the day. What would you think if Willy dresses up as the Joker from Batman.

Some people say the Willy is a Joker anyway and if that is the case Willy just as well dress up like one.

See the costume to the right. If Willy dresses up like that and goes around the neighborhood everyone will think Willy is a little strange. But wait a minute. Willy dresses up in his overalls and his old hat and boots and goes around the neighborhood and people thinks he is strange anyway.

It seems that Willy can't win. Should Willy dress up like the Joker and look cool or should Willy just dress up normal and let all of the kids point at him anyway.

You figure it out. Willy lives in Arkansas which is a great place to live and even greater as Halloween and the fall comes around with the beautiful colors.

If you are into dressing up for Halloween you should check out this site.

That is all for now!

Arkansas Razorbacks Win?

What is up with that? They win against a #20 team.

But wait a minute the team had just fired their Offensive Coordinator and were in upheaval. Maybe they were not a top 20 team after all.

Helloooo- Kentucky can you fire your coordinator this week.

Might help.

Walk Through the Valley of Death

Sometimes you see a picture or something that you cant help from wanting to pass on.

Below is one that I saw this morning. Intended to keep a link to where I originally found it but for some reason I clicked off the site and could not find it.

Here it is:

Got Lemon - Get Lawyer

Have you ever had a lemon in a vehicle. The best way to make lemonade out of that is to know about the Lemon Laws by state. The best way then is to move forward by getting answers to your Lemon Law questions.

I had a lemon of a car once. Took transmission back to the shop three times they could find nothing wrong to fix the problem. Well, the transmission went out three weeks out of warranty.
I had it fixed and later asked them about paying for it. Got now where.

I finally went on a letter writing campaign to the car manufacturer. Wished I would have had help in that. I know if I lived in California at that time the best thing I could have done is to go to
get help with someone who specializes in California Lemon Law cases.

So the answer is if you have a lemon in a car, don't set up shop on the side of the road using the trunk as a lemonade stand. No, what you should do is to get you that Lemon Lawyer that can get some attention for your problem. Your problem is important to them and they will get attention!

Don't sweat the small stuff and they will make this small stuff for you and big stuff for the people causing the problem. Get the help you need.

That is my thoughts for now!

Bad Markets - Bad Google - Bad Razorbacks

I commented yesterday about how I had been spanked by the Markets, by Google and By PayperPost. I forgot to mention that the Arkansas Razorbacks are also getting spanked by their opponents.

Texas stomped the Hogs this past Saturday and Alabama kicked them the week before. Guess what? Florida is coming this week. Think the Hogs might get stomped.

Yes!

Not going to be a pretty season financially and sportswise.

That is my thoughts for now.

Find a New Home at homecity.com

Arkansas is a great place to live but I am a Texan by birth and still one in my heart. This is why many times I find myself browsing the internet searching for that place that I might like to live back in Texas.

Well, in cruising through homecity.com I found information that really interested me. The information was about finding that perfect home in or around Austin Texas. Yes, I was looking at
Austin Real Estate and trying to find that perfect place to live.

Well, I also looked close to a place where a good friend lives and that lead me to look at Round rock tx homes for sale. Yes, what I like about this site is that it gives you much information, lots of options, lots of locations and lots of choices. When searching the site for that perfect home you will likely find information that lets you know if the place is going to be right for you. You will find out if there are things there that you like to do and if the weather and climate suit your needs.

Yes, searching for that new or fantasy place to live on the internet is fun and searching for Austin Real Estate and trying to find that perfect place to live is always fun.

You should try this site out if you are thinking about moving at all.

My thoughts for now.

Hit by the Market, Government, Google, PayPerPost - same day!

When the world crashes in it seems to hit from all sides. Here are the facts as Willy sees them:

WILLY HAS BEEN SPANKED BY THE STOCK MARKET, THE GOVERNMENT, GOOGLE AND PAYPERPOST - ALL IN THE SAME DAY!

The stock market and the government took about half of my 401K - Google killed my page rank on three blogs - Payperpost decided that one of my blogs no longer qualified - even though it is very similar to the others that they kept - just different subjects.

1. Willy manages four blogs:
   

• Hillbilly Willy - Fun Food and Politics - which on Sunday had a Google Rank of 3 and a PPP Rank of about 545. On Monday it fell to Google rank of 2 and PPP rank of 656 - All the while Willy was averaging at least 150 - 200 entrecard drops a day trying to build it up. Site has averaged 172 hits per day for past week with 201 on Monday - CRASH DAY!
  

• Cooking With Willy - which on Sunday had a google rank of 3 and very high PPP rank now is a google rank of 2.
  

• Life in America - Which on Sunday had a google rank of 2 and now has a google rank of 0 - it averages about the same hits and links as the blog above.

• Arkansas a Great Place to Live - on Sunday had a Google rank of 2 and now has a google rank of 3 with about the same hits and links as the two above.

Someone help Willy sort this out!

10 - 4 Willy - I guess -

Redneck, Hillbilly or Ozark American

As an ethnic group of the Arkansas Persuasion- it was brought to my attention today in an article by Paul Greenberg that every ethnic group deserves a politically correct name.

The decision needs to be made as soon as possible whether people living in the Ozarks of Arkansas and Missouri should be called Redneck, Hillbilly or the politically correct name of Ozark American.

Also, if we get the name lined out right and get a politically correct nomenclature, it would be the next step to ask for some type of rights and some type of compensation from the government.

This way Willy would be important and get Government bailouts!

What are your thoughts?

Willy is Happy!

Thank goodness it is Friday. We need to reverse this thing and work four days and off 3. I would gladly give 4 10 hr days to get the job done and take a long weekend.

Oh yea! That is what my Dr. and Dentist do. Have you tried to get a dentist appointment on Friday afternoon. No way. Friday morning they say they are open and it is one receptionist.

Where do you go to school for a dental hygienist.

Sounds like my kind of job. Hate to have my hands in others mouths but for Friday off I might try it.

My thoughts for now.

Personal Loans On Line!

Think Cash loans is the place to consider any time that you think that your credit is too bad to get a loan. Yes, that is what I said Cash Loans. This is something that is available is online loans .

What do you mean cash loans? Well, check out the options. You can get cash advances that are typically lower than Payday Loans or a Cash Advance company. The ThinkCash folks have convenient payment options that are unlike Payday loans.

These loans can be paid off in small, easy installments or they can be paid off all at once with no penalties. The option is yours. These loans can be just what you need to get you through the holiday season and give you the cash to make your payments and still give the gifts that are required during that season.

But wait. What if you have an emergency and you are short of cash. Well, ThinkCash is the place to remember. They can get you that emergency cash and give it to you on terms that you can afford to payback.

Or think of this. I have a couple of bills that are coming up and I am short of the cash to get them paid. What can I do? - Well here are three ways to consider to get the bills paid on time:

1. Think Cash loans
2. Think Cash loans
3. Think Cash loans

Does it sound like I am repeating myself. Well, maybe by repeating it - you will get the point. ThinkCash is the place to go. It will get you what you need. It will have terms that you can afford. It will be personal and confidential. So more on the subject. Well, here it is.

So where is a good solid place to go to get that Personal loan on line, even if your credit is bad.

Come on! Guess! could it be Think Cash loans ?

In short, here is the lowdown on the whole thing.

ThinkCash is a short term, personal loan company. They will lend amounts from $250 to $2,500 for emergency times like when the bills have to be paid or to avoid a bounced check.

At ThinkCash, the application can be filled out online and the money wired by the next business day.

If this sounds like something that would benefit you, maybe you should check it out and get that cash you need for whatever you need it for. Also, if you have family members that might need this type of service. Come on! Be there heroe. Tell them about a website that will help them out. You can be the good guy and wear the white hat.

Those are my thoughts for now. Maybe more later on the subject.

Red Wolves Vs Tulsa

What about the Arkansas State Red Wolves. They changed their name this year and have changed their game.

The Red Wolves go to play Tulsa this week and may show up real good against them.

Would be interesting if they beat Tulsa and then later on Arkansas Razorbacks got beat by the same team.

Wonder what Talk radio would say --- Arkansas state vs University of Arkansas would rear its ugly head.

That's my thoughts for now!

Arkansas Razorbacks

What position do you feel Arkansas Razorbacks need most? Do they need a quarterback, a safety, a linebacker, a defensive line.

What do you think. It is hard to tell.

They say the back up quarterback is getting more reps this week. Is that the answer.

How bad will Arkansas get killed by the University of Texas Longhorns?

Time will tell.

My thoughts for now.

Sportsgist - A Haven for Sports People and Athletes

What a great idea for a website or social network of sorts. A place designed where athletes can meet, greet, be seen and be heard. We are talking about a website that has such things highlighted as College recruiting video for those who want to put the info out for the
College Recruiting gurus.

We are talking about a website that can give you information about High school sports live and in action.

Yes if you are looking for a Sports video website, High school sports live, College Recruiting and College recruiting video this is your place.

Razorbacks - Long Season

The Arkansas Razorbacks played Alabama last week and lost 49 - 14. Could have been worse if Alabama had wanted it to be.

Arkansas now goes to Austin to play Texas. What do you think the score of that game will be.

Any predictions. - No give me games now. Hope coach Petrino can hold it together.

One consolation - Houston Nutt Lost last week!

My thoughts for now.

Awesome Directory Site!

Lets suppose that you live in Arkansas and want to move to Indianapolis. How would you find something on real estate in that area. Well, to me the best thing to do would be to go to clicksmart.com and look for Indianapolis Realtors.

Pretty simple - right. Well if you go to this website you will really discover how this search and others are made very easy. This search site is awesome. That is right. A simple click and the site for Realtors in Indianapolis is at your finger tips. You can search through the realtors and find the ones that would best suit you and your needs.

One Vacation Picture:

Arkansas State Red Wolves beat Texas A & M Aggies

What was it that did the trick. Was it changing the name to the Red Wolves. I don't know but the Red wolves of ASU (Arkansas State University) ended up beating the Aggies of Texas A & M University. (A&M).

Sounds like ASU has a good team this year. Maybe with the change in administration at the University of Arkansas there might be a reconsideration of playing in state rivals.

This would draw a crowd - keep money in state and give talk radio something else to talk about.

Go Red Wolves.

Guess What Time it is!

Yes, you guessed it is the first game for the Arkansas Razorbacks under the Bobby Petrino Regime.

Throw that ball. Go fast - go hard! Talent can be made up by coaching and hard work.

Prediction 48 -14

GO HOGS!

Recent Restaurant visits

Most recent new eating places that we have visited in Arkansas are:

La Mariachi - Conway - Mexican food - much like the many others in town. Some of the people from others were there so must be a connection - Fair but slow and mundane - many others much better - Will not return - expect it to die a slow death. -- 2 stars out of 10.

El Botanos - Conway - Mexican Food - buffet - more real traditional Mexican (old Mexico) surprisingly, although most people don't realize this, that type of food is fairly bland. - pulled pork, guacomole, three chicken dishes - fairly good - too expensive for what you get . Ok - but want frequent often - prefer Tex-Mex - 4 stars out of Ten.

A Penny a Day - Get Relief from Debt!

Arkansas Razorbacks - and the Law!

The Arkansas Razorbacks are less than a week from beginning practice and they are having their problems off of the field.

Rumor's are that ESPN Game Day is coming to campus this fall and they are going to set up in front of City Jail instead of the campus. Expect to see more Razorbacks there than at the field.

Kids make mistakes - football is not the most important thing in life - Life goes on!

Arkansas a good and Hot Place to live

Just came back from a family trip for reunion to Texas Panhandle. I used to live in Texas and think that it was hot. Well it is hot but not miserable.

While there in the late afternoon and evening we could sit in the shade with the 20 mile an hour wind blowing and be comfortable even if it was in the 90's. Drove back to Arkansas and attempted to sit on the back porch in the late afternoon in the shade. The temperature was about 93 and the humidity was about 75%.

Sweat was dripping in about five minutes and it was miserable.

Arkansas is a good place to live but 92 hurts worse here than it does in Texas Panhandle

Who are the Bloggers

I often wonder - who are the majority of the casual bloggers. Those using the freebie or not so freebie sources. Those that make an occasional dollar blogging. Those that are not associated with national syndications or publications.

Is it men or is it women.

Is it 30 and below or is it 30 and above.

Married or single - Mommy blogger or Daddy Blogger.

Just thoughts that run through my mind.

Peace of Mind - NAA Life is America's top source for mortgage life insurance.

If someone mentions cheap term life insurance note that the word cheap is in the price not the quality of the product. Being in the lending business I have the opportunity on a daily basis to offer term life insurance to my customers. I try to always make sure that they are aware of its value.

Term life insurance is an inexpensive way to provide some comfort for you loved ones if something happens to you. This is especially important if you are the major "bread winner" in the family. Wouldn't it be nice to know that if something suddenly happened to you that your wife and children would not be faced with trying to figure out how to make the mortgage payment or pay the other debts.

With the proper amounts of term life insurance those things would be taken care of.

This is the way it would be if you have NAA Life’s mortgage insurance. It is not just a piece of paper, it’s an investment in peace of mind.

This peace of mind can be had in many areas including the following mortgage insurance ,
mortgage protection insurance , and even just straight up life insurance.

All of the above is reason why you should look to NAA Life is America's top source for mortgage life insurance.

Don't you think it is time to check them out now. Get your peace of mind!

If your not sure what term life insurance is check out what the company says:

Death is the worst emotional loss a family can suffer. All too often, the financial hardship that follows can make that burden seem unbearable. Term life insurance pays your family a cash benefit in the event of your death.
Why is Term Life Insurance so important?

Because your family depends on you. What would happen if you died tomorrow? Could they pay the bills? Could they afford the funeral expenses? Without your support, how would they get by?

It's not a pleasant subject, but death is often unexpected. Planning ahead is the only way to protect your family from hardship if the unmentionable should occur. More importantly, it's a way of showing your love and support during their most difficult transition.

You can obtain a free term life insurance quote by filling out the form to your right. Our team of highly skilled term life insurance specialists will work with you to develop a plan that fits your budget and coverage needs.


Check it out - for you and your family!

Strange Post

That last post that I did came out a little strange. I was simply trying to indicate that the heat was something similar to putting your head in the oven.

When I went looking for a picture to illustrate this, the picture of the head in the oven came out. The problem is that to me it looks a little like Eisenhower.

Not sure what possessed me to use that picture. Well, so what!

My thoughts for now.

Rain - Rain

It is July in Arkansas and the rain continues to come. It usually has tapered off considerably by now. We had about 2 inches again today. That is ok until the sun comes out and then with high humidity and high temperature it is like sticking your head in a steam oven.

Can get to be just a little to hot for comfort.

Thanks for the office in July and August.

What the Cell Phone Sees 6/07/08

Sometimes what the cell phone sees is a little surprising. This is what is seen on my front lawn. Neighbor in a hurry took out the mailbox. The cell phone decided to take this picture after the mailbox stand was back upright. However, the actual mailbox weighed more than this redneck could lift.

Therefore it is staying on the ground until the repairman comes.

Hope we have a short mailman.

Stop 1 minute and Pray - National Effort

Goal - Every Christian Stop and Pray for our nation at the same time each day!

Time: 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific),
Goal: stop what you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming elect ion, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the US.
_____________________
Received from a friend and it is true, this is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values.

We all need to be on our knees.

Do you believe we can take God at His word?

Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold.

This Scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it.

I challenge you to do so.

We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.

This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by My name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace.

This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America .

The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever !!!

If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming elect ion, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the US.

Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.

Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

God Bless You !!!

BLESS GOD AMERICA !!!!!!!

What the Cell Phone Sees - July 2, 2008

Wandered off course on my way to a meeting the other day and ran very close to Nuclear One. This is one of the main sources for electrical power in Arkansas.

The Cell Phone thought this would make a good picture.

Made me think twice though before taking a deep breath,

Kick back - Enjoy Important things of Life

Hope everyone has a happy 4th of July. Just a reminder to be safe, be happy and take care of the things that matter in your life. Spend time with your family and friends and kick back and enjoy the holiday and the freedom that we have. With this in mind please reflect on the following and old but good reflection on life!

-------

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---God, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.'

Looking for an elegant evening dress?

Just mentioned the Mrs Arkansas America Contest. This is married women competing for a crown.

Could be that these ladies have spent lots of time shopping for those great looking gowns they were wearing. I sure don't claim to be an expert on that but I do read and find out things like what they need to do when shopping for those gowns. What they need to know is that whether they are looking for full-length formal dresses, short prom dresses or glamorous evening gowns with trains, Elegant Mart is the place to find those designer originals for less.

Anywhere and anytime, shoppers can find the perfect evening dresses for every elegant need with just a few clicks of their mouse.

That is certainly what some of these ladies needed to have done. But again I am no expert.

So if you are in the market for this type of elegant dress you should go to ElegantMart.com.

Just my thoughts for now!

Mrs Arkansas USA

Just been watching the re-run of the Mrs Arkansas USA pageant. It is very interesting to watch the ladies in their swimsuits, evening gowns and talent competition to try to win another contest. Not sure what the purpose of these ladies winning is. They are mostly women with children who are already out in life.

Maybe it is just the thrill of the competition.

Surely it is not the desire to parade around in a skimpy swim suit.

My thoughts for now!

Hand Blown Glass

Hand Blown Glass - this is good looking art.

You have to take a look at HandBlownGlass.net . This an online art gallery dedicated to beautiful Hand Blown Glass. This site features the top glass blowing artists in the glass blowing field. Every piece of this art work is individually made and is one of a kind. What is even better is that each hand blown glass piece is also hand signed by the artist and each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity from the studio.

I told you this was the top notch - real deal!

This gallery contains a quite a variety of different types of hand blown glass. They seem to have everything from traditional pieces like the fluted bowls and vases, to non-traditional pieces such as very elegant wall art along with one of a kind sculptures. They even say that if there is something that you are looking for that you do not see, that they are able to have pieces custom made.

Again, how great is that? You can take from the stock that they have on hand or get them to make what you want from the expert glass artists.

With all of the above, you would think that it couldn't get any better. Well it dies. They say that at HandBlownGlass.net, customer satisfaction is their #1 priority.

They have such a strong confience level that you will be happy with your purchase that they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on each and every piece of hand blown glass.

Finally - how can you beat this type of deal? I don't think you can!

Too Good To Not Pass Along

Somtimes I find a joke that is too good to not pass along.

Two little old ladies were sitting on a park bench outside the localtown hall where a flower show was in progress. The thin one leaned overand said, 'Life is so darned boring. We never have any fun anymore. For$5.00, I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid flowershow!'
'You're on!' said the other old lady, holding up a $5.00 bill.

The first little old lady slowly fumbled her way out of her clothes and,completely naked, streaked (as fast as an old lady can) through thefront door of the flower show. Waiting outside, her friend soon heard ahuge commotion inside the hall, followed by loud applause and shrill whistling.

The smilingand naked old lady came through the exit door surrounded by a cheeringcrowd. 'What happened?' asked her waiting friend.
'I won 1st prize as Best Dried Arrangement.'

Dirt Devil - Energy Star® approved!

Dirt Devil is a great Energy Star appliance. This means that it uses less energy and is very energy efficient when it is cleaning your house. The only question I have is how do I get it to do the cleaning. I sure don't like to use anything when it comes to cleaning the house.

The typical house cleaning at my house takes in a few things like taping dust rags to the bottom of the dogs feet and then I lay on the couch and throw a dog toy to different parts of the room hoping those dust rags will clean up the floor. "Wait a minute spot you missed a spot" "Fetch Dog"

Oh yeah! I did spill something the other night. It might still be a little sticky where the dog licked it up but I believe it will be ok as long as the ants don't get to thick.

What do you mean there is lint behind the doors. Why is anyone looking there any way?

You mean this isn't the way you clean your house? You are kidding, there is a better way?

Jokes aside, Dirt Devil has a better way to save energy. The new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac use 70% less energy – making AccuCharge the first cordless cleaning technology to earn Energy Star approval.

"Darling where is that number for the Dog Whisper? I need to see if he can help me teach spot to run a Dirt Devil!"

Lake Ouachita - Arkansas

I had the opportunity this past weekend to spend two days on beautiful Lake Ouachita. Most of my time was spent around the Mountain Harbor Resort which is also very nice. The whole experience gave me a greater appreciation for the area and the lake and for the many people that spend a lot of time on the water.

There are those that go to play hard and fast. They have lots of toys - big boats, wave runners, ski boards, tubes and much more.

There are thost that go to just go around the lake and relax. One couple that I met take a grill and a beach umbrella and then find an area that is kind of quiet and park the boat grill up some hamburgers and just set under the unbrella and enjoy the day. When they are not doing that the gentleman says that they have a tube with an unbrella on it and he moves across the lake slowly and fishes while his wife floats behind in the tube with unbrella reading and enjoying life.

There are many other types in between but all in all it appears a great place to have a good time.

Rentalo Vacation Rentals - Lets Go!

Arkansas is a great place to live and if you have ever been to Arkansas you know how great it is. It is interesting though that regardless of how nice it is around your home we are always taking that vacation to somewhere else.

Well, if you are looking for that vacation place to go here are some of the places that you might want to consider reviewing to make your decision.

The first one is Destin resorts. If you have never been to Destin you are truly missing something. There are great beaches and great things to do. Great- fun -things, great shopping, great people, great eating and just overall a good and fun time. When you go there you are going to need that rental for the week and what better place to look for that ideal spot than Rentalo.com.

Well, you want to go a little further, try this one. Nothing sounds better than to try out Kissimmee vacation homes. I have never been there myself but I have been close. You know what is in that area. Again, Destin or Kissimmee both great places and what better thing to do than check out those vacation rentals on the internet.

Well, lets get a little more southern and try out the Puerto Vallarta hotels. I have not been actually Puerto Vallarta but any where in that area is great. You can lay around on the beaches, venture into the country or just relax and enjoy the local flair. Again, look for that great- vacation -rental property that would be available from Rentalo.com.

Are you convinced yet. All I can say is it must be time for a vacation. In reviewing this site, I find that I long for that time off in a great vacation area.

Thats my thoughts for now.

Only Three Bullets

Sometimes you run on to those writings that just say a whole lot about how you feel. Well, I did run into this piece below and think it is very appropriate. I hope anyone who reads this blog will take a look and give me your comments about it.

Read and enjoy!

------------------------------

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat.

He had an old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out hunting and kill some wild game for dinner.

As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed it.
The rabbit ran away.

Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it.
The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree.

As he went further, he saw a large wild 'Tom' turkey in the tree, but he had only one bullet remaining.

A voice spoke to him and said, 'Pray first, aim high and stay focused..'

However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill.

He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake.

Still, the voice said again to him, ''I said 'Pray, Aim high and Stay focused.''

So, the man decided to listen to God's voice.

He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey.

The bullet passed thru the turkey and killed the deer.

The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it.

And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond.

When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and a turkey to eat for his family.

The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.

Moral of the story:

Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God.

Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is exactly that... 'the past.'

Live every day one day at a time and remember that only God knows our future and that God will not put you through any more than you can bear.

Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that only God has prepared in advance for you in your favor.

Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow.

A Beautiful Day

Today was a beautiful day. It was in the low 90's with a very delightful breeze. It was warm in the sun, but if you were under a shade tree, it was very nice.

Days like this are days that farmers wish for. They can plant their fields and harvest their winter wheat that is ready. Right now, farmers are having to put in long hours to get all their fields planted because of the weather we have had in the last few months. You never know what kind of weather you will have from one hour to the next in Arkansas. I guess, farming is one of the riskiest businesses here in Arkansas because of the weather.

When I moved to Arkansas, I was always told that if you don't like the weather, stay a while......it will change......and its true.

What the Cell Phone Sees -6/07/08 - Stop and Smell the Roses

Sometimes the Cell Phone is more alert than I am. In the hurry of the day I forget that it is ok and sometimes necessary to stop and smell the roses.

Today the Cell Phone saw these Hydrangea for the first time this year. Why haven't we seen these before is the question I ask my cell phone.

After all they are right outside the front of my office. I go here everyday but I park in back and come in the back door. For some reason I have not been out front in the past month to realize how nice the flowers are.

Yes, these are not roses to stop and smell but they are nice looking and we need to just stop and take notice of these things.

The thought that this gives me from the cell phone is - How many of the small and wonderful things do I not stop and notice about people on a daily basis because I am too busy doing business with people rather than truly interacting with people.

Stop and smell the roses is the attitude I am trying to take.

Life is good in Arkansas!

Where's Mary! - In Plain Site?

Can you find Mary Shannon on this page. She is a character on the USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight.

Of course you can! She is right there. But have you found her on the tube in this great new series.

In Plain Sight is an all-new crime drama from USA Network starring Mary McCormack as Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshal attached to the highly secretive Federal Witness Protection Program (WITSEC). While Mary loves her job, she knows better than anyone that it's not easy leading a double life—especially since getting shot at on a regular basis is all in a day's work.

Mary Shannon, who is based in the greater Albuquerque/Santa Fe area, protects and manages relocated Federal Witnesses who come from all over the country. The witnesses under her care can be anything from career criminals, congenital liars, thieves and murderers to those who have had the misfortune of witnessing or falling victim to a crime.

For the innocents, testifying means leaving behind everything and everyone they know, cutting off all contact, changing identities and relocating to the unfamiliar southwest to build a new life as the reward for their good deed. But no matter what walk of life—or what side of the law—these people come from, they all have one thing in common: Someone wants them dead.

This is a great new series that began on June 1. If you missed the first episode it can be caught on the website. This is a fun and interesting series.

Rain - Rain

Rained again today - Sunday. Did not even realize we were supposed to get rain. I had gone to the grocery store to get some bologna for meal. While there the lights went off and on several times. Once the lightning struck close to the building and the lights went out. One of the girls behind the deli counter screamed and everyone thought she had been shocked.

She was fine but they were out of bologna. Settled for a salami sandwich.

Life goes on but it is a good life in Arkansas

My thoughts for now.

Home Made Dockers Commercials - Vote for your Choice!

Dockers is my dress pant and clothing of choice. I work in an environment that allows business casual 4 days a week and casual on Fridays. Well, guess what? About 90% of the time I find myself wearing Dockers Clothing. Even on Fridays I usually have a pair of Dockers denim on.

So, when given the opportunity to do a video spot for a Dockers contest I jumped on the idea. It was fun to take their idea and run with it as a novice with a camera and see what the end results would be.

Dockers contest can be found at www.nbc.com/Dockers. If you want to make a video and its not too late check out this contest. Again it is fun and it is a great opportunity to use your creativity to talk about Americas favorite clothes.

I was wanting to link to my favorite video but it didn't seem to work. However, you can go to NBC and take a look at all of the videos. You can stroll through them and look at the ones that you think are good. Dont forget to vote for your favorite video.

Someone has a chance to win. If you are able to put your video out there it could be you. If not vote on someone. Check them out and get in on the action. It is fun and rewarding.

You can check all of this out below.
