Well, we got about twenty inches of snow from the storm. I went out side yesterday while it was still snowing to use the snow blower a little bit. Years of life in New England taught me that it is a good idea to get a start on these big storms. If you try to clear a huge amount of snow the snow blower just might not like it very much and break down on you, and then you are in trouble! So you start before it gets too much and you’re good. My sister-in-law decided to come out and play in the snow while I was clearing the walk-way. She borrowed my wife’s boots and snow pants and had herself a grand old time. She’s not used to seeing that much snow and she was having some fun! My wife, on the other hand, well, let’s just say she has had her share of playing in the snow.
My wife cautioned her sister to NOT throw snowballs at me – she said “don’t mess with the guy armed with a snowblower!” Well, as you can imagine, somehow a snowball hit me in the back of the head. I turned around and the only one in sight was laughing her butt off! Laughter turned to shrieks as I turned the chute of the snowblower and showered the assailant with a ton of show! She should have listened to my wife!
One of the things that have prevented me from buying stocks in the past was the fact that many people look down their noses at folks who don’t have a strong basic knowledge of the nuts and bolts of Stock Trading. I really don’t like to ask a lot of questions of people who have a “superior attitude.” I’m pretty sure you know what I mean. That’s the biggest reason why I prefer to have an Online Broker. I don’t have to see their faces or listen to their “I’m smarter than you are” tones of voice.
With Online Trading I can get the information that I need and spend as much time as I need thinking about my choices. I don’t feel that “hurry up and make a decision” pressure that a live person sitting in front of me can emit. That kind of hard sell just turns me off! I like to gather all of the facts and discuss the decisions with my wife without someone else in the conversation trying to influence my decision. My wife says that makes me a “control freak.” Maybe she’s right, but it is MY money after all!
It looks like we are in for one heck of a snow storm this week end. Our local weather forecaster is calling for up to 10 inches that is supposed to start some time tomorrow evening. Guess we need to stock up on the necessary items at the grocery store and hunker down for a long cold weekend. This is going to make the last minute Christmas shopping a real nightmare for a lot of people. Glad that we have most of our holiday shopping done and just have to worry about having enough milk and toilet paper!
Don’t know why I was so surprised to find that Myrtle Beach has such a huge variety of Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels to choose from. I’ve been spending a good amount of time online checking out the different packages that are available right now. There are some pretty decent prices that have me wanting to make a final decision and get the job done and over with so I can move on to other things that are needed to get done in order to have our family reunion squared away for next year.
The SeaSide Resort looks awfully good. It is a top notch Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel with 4 star services that is located in North Myrtle Beach and is just footsteps away from the famous white sandy beaches that Myrtle Beach is so well known for. I’m still not quite sure how many family members are actually going to attend this reunion, which makes it a bit of a challenge, but what the heck, I’m up for a challenge!
Not just any Myrtle Beach Hotel will do for this group. We have a diverse group of people that all have different needs and wants, but I guess most families are that way these days. We have a few folks that are disabled and require special accommodations, while some of them are senior citizens that have special needs as well. Of course there will be several children attending and that opens up a whole new can of worms as well. A challenge indeed!
Samba Pa Ti was a wonderful piece that Santana put out in his prime back in the 70′s. Carlos Santana still keeps on cranking out the hits and once again I thank You Tube for making this music available online. Who ever would have thought that we could have so much available to us just by pushing a few buttons, amazing to think about ya know!
