			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="announcement_post"><p><strong>Why You&#8217;re Here!</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We all know what state the economy is in.&nbsp; Everyday in the news there is another company closing its&#8217; doors and tens of thousands of people losing their jobs and subsequently their life savings and ultimately their homes.&nbsp; Each day, if we&#8217;re one of the lucky ones to still be working and keeping our heads above water, we face new challenges as we tread.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re paying attention, I mean really paying attention, you find that seemingly inconsequential events are occurring at every turn.&nbsp; We do however, tend to overlook these events, depending on our current state of mind,&nbsp;until the frequency increases.&nbsp; With these increases our stamina&nbsp;for tolerance begins to wane.&nbsp; More and more peoples moods are changing and there is an underlying tension.&nbsp; Big companies unethical practices are making small changes that effect us in a huge way.&nbsp; It&#8217;s time to make them accountable for their actions.  Although we complain no one is listening.</p>
<p>I started this blog so that we can point fingers, name names and share our stories.&nbsp; The more we are aware of the &#8220;small changes&#8221; the more chance&nbsp;WE have of making a change.&nbsp; Then instead of wondering, &#8220;<strong><span style="color:#660099;">W</span></strong>ill <strong><span style="color: #660099;">A</span></strong>nyone <strong><span style="color: #660099;">P</span></strong>ay <strong><span style="color: #660099;">A</span></strong>ttention <strong><span style="color: #660099;">T</span></strong>o <strong><span style="color: #660099;">U</span></strong>s? <strong><span style="color: #660099;">WAPATU</span></strong>,&nbsp; we can say somebody finally listened!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As everyone knows, our computers have a short life span.  One thing or another usually gives out to the point of no return or we run out of memory or it becomes obsolete.  Finally giving in to the fact that a new computer is needed, you’re faced with the task of finding the one that will suit your needs.  There is such a wide variety of desktop computers by manufacturers such as <a href="www.acer.com/">Acer</a>, <a href="www.hp.com/ ">HP</a> and <a href="www.compaq.com/">Compaq</a> to name a few.  You can buy a desktop PC that is slimline and you will make choices on operating systems.  The best thing to do is actually research on your own to decide the basics that you need and then check <a href="http://reviews.thesource.ca/9026/43118/category.htm">desktop computer reviews</a> to get the computer most compatible with your needs.  Whatever the case may be, it’s a daunting task that’s best researched fully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s probably no better way to promote your business than to hand out free items.  People are more than willing to take anything free and with your business name or logo printed on them it’s likely that they might actually remember your business.  There is a huge variety to choose from when searching for promotional items.  Bags and totes are available, all varieties of drink ware, key chains, <a href="http://www.usimprints.com">promotional pens</a> and more.  For the most part you can find great deals when purchasing quantities of these items and it’s a wonderful way to advertise. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I guess as could be expected, moving from a large home to a smaller one, it’s difficult finding space for our “stuff.”  I really had thought I eliminated a lot and the garage sale we held this past weekend was a big help in doing just that.  Actually, rather than put the leftover items back in the house, we brought them to Goodwill…..they take anything!  Regardless, I have organized about all that I can and there are things there just isn’t any room for.  We don’t have a garage at our new home and I didn’t realize how much we would miss it.  Apparently, it had become a wonderful storage facility.  Actually, we do have a <a href="http://www.bettersheds.com/">wood shed</a> on our property, but two <a href="http://www.dirtrider.com/index.html">dirt bikes</a>, a <a href="http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/home.html">Harley</a> and our <a href="http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/subCategory.aspx?id=24&#038;cm_mmc=Google-_-S-Motorcycles_Ninja_S-Ninja_Motorcycles-_-ninja%20motorcycle-_-Exact_5910559155&#038;cm_guid=1-_-100000000000000001088-_-5910559155">Ninja</a> take up most of the space.  Friends of ours had put up a <a href="http://www.americansteelspan.com/">steel building</a> and it just might be the next thing we’ll have to buy.  In the meantime, we’ll keep trying to eliminate “stuff.”  The biggest problem with this is that I’m a creative person and I find a use for everything…eventually.  Perhaps, if I close my eyes and take things out to the trash we’ll manage to have room for everything.</p>
