The Better Parent

My son’s music teacher in middle school assigned every student to write an essay on different instruments. My son was very happy to find out that he had to write about electric guitars. He told me this would be an easy instrument to write about since he has two uncles that play it. I told him to not only rely on what his uncles had to say but that she should also take a look at some electric guitar reviews from a reputable company that will provide information on more than one particular brand. He seemed disappointed at first but realized that it was probably a good idea to get more than one or two opinions on the subject of his essay.

I told him I would help him and together we found a website that had a wealth of information for him to pull from. This website offered many reviews on a large variety of electric guitars. We decided to read at least three or four reviews to gather information. It was quite enjoyed doing this together and we both learned a lot more than we thought we would. We learned that there are different types of guitars for different levels of player. These guitars were also made out of different types of wood and had different components for the electric part of it. It was very interesting, to say the least.

Before we knew it, he had gathered enough information to start writing his essay. I was very proud of him for being so thorough and writing an exceptionally informative report on electric guitars. It did not take him very long to complete this project. We went over it together to check for errors and only found a few. He was most proud when he received it back from his teacher with an A+.

I always loved to take road trips with my friends when I was in my senior year of high school. I always volunteered to drive. So now, I’ve taken that love of driving and become a truck driver. I just looked for the best GPS for truck drivers and purchased the GPS best system because I will soon be driving across country. I know my own state pretty well and don’t have any problems with that, but I have rarely ridden through other states. I think the new GPS system will help a lot. I’m pretty excited about expanding my driving territory because I love to travel on the road.

I’ve always been a people person, but I also need time away from them. Continue reading I Needed a Little Help So That I Could Expand My Driving Territory

My husband and I ran our property management business together until I found out that he was cheating on me with one of our employees. I found out when he and the the employee didn’t show up for a cleaning project one day. I had to rush to call a company that is known for doing moving out cleaning for Singapore business owners right away. The tenant was moving in just two days later, and I didn’t have time to let the cleaning project sit. I wanted to break down, but I had to keep moving forward and handle things at work.

No matter what, you have to keep going when you are a business owner. I’ve been through so many things in my relationship, but the worst thing ever was to find out that my husband was cheating. It was hard knowing that I trusted our employee, and that employee was doing things behind my back as I gave her work directions on a daily basis. Continue reading You Need to Find Help Quickly when Your Business Life Has a Snag

It is a long day for me lately, since I have been working almost full time in physics tuition aside from going to classes full time. I am up at five in the morning and it takes me very little time to get ready and then I am working with this one pupil before she goes to school. It would be hard to justify this if not for what her father is paying me, the effort required is pretty tough to maintain day after day. Of course she is coming up on her placement examinations and so it is a really stressful time for her. If she did not have plenty of money (her father’s money I mean), then it would not make any sense for her to hire a tutor. She is fully capable of getting a pretty good grade in all of her courses, but that is not the objective. Continue reading I Have Been Really Busy

Thanks to https://www.kleepers.com I’m now able to rent out one of my units faster than I thought I would be able to do. I make a fair amount of money renting out a few properties to families, and usually everything goes smoothly. I always try to make sure that I’m renting to good people who will take care of the properties, but occasionally some bad apples slip through my screening interviews. It happened recently and they practically destroyed the unit. I figured it would take days to get the place cleaned up so I could start showing it to people.

I had my handyman tackle some of the problems with fixtures, but I needed a cleaning service to stop by and get everything looking good. The company I found online looked like winners. They told me exactly what they would do and how long it would take. Continue reading Cleaning Up My Rental Unit

I watched my sister really fight to try spend only four years getting her degree, and she was unable to do that. It took her seven years to graduate. When I started failing in one of my classes, I decided that I would finding some help with H2 physics tuition courses that would help supplement the class that I was failing at in school. I didn’t even gain admission to college until I was 24, and the thought of it taking 7 or more years to get my degree would mean that I wouldn’t graduate until I reach my thirties. Landing a proper job that pays well is something that I want to do soon rather than later.

The main reason that I started college so late is because I was my mother’s caretaker for many years. Continue reading I Need All the Help That I Can Get to Graduate

If not for the Orchard nail salon, I doubt I would have aced my job interview and landed this plum job that pays me a lot of money for very little actual work. It’s a position where I have to look as good as possible for potential clients. Doing your hair at home is acceptable, but things like nail work have to be done by a professional. I take some of the credit for finding the best salon in the city to do the work, but really it’s just that they’re so good at what they do that all I had to do was show up.

Still, I had to get through the interview to get the job and that meant having professionals do everything. Continue reading I Needed to Look Nice for My Job Interview

I woke up about the tattoos on my arms when I went one year struggling to find a job outside of the grocery store I worked at. I still love tattoos, but not everyone else likes when you have scary skulls and demons inked onto on your body. People judge you whether you like it or not. This is why I looked for a good aesthetic and laser clinic for Singapore people who want to remove any artwork they have on their bodies for various reasons. I did not get all of mine removed, but the ones that seem to be offensive to other people needed to go.

I am now a graphic artist and work in an office where everyone else is also very creative and accepting of things that are different. Previously, I had been working in a grocery store. I used to be very rebellious and loved art that depicts things that are scary to others. I’m not a devil worshipper. I’m not into death or anything like that. In fact, I have a family that I love very much. I have a wife and a child. I love to read, paint and hang out with my family. I’m very gentle and kind by nature. But the art on my arms that other people could see made them very uncomfortable. It held me back in a lot of ways.

When I went to school to be a graphic artist, I knew that it would be more acceptable in my future profession to have the tattoos that I had. But I also wanted to be welcomed by people in other walks of life, too. Up until that point, I was only able to secure a job working in a grocery store, and that was not fair. So, I knew that getting the tattoos on my arms removed was the right thing to do for my future.

I used a forge of empires cheat as a way to thwart my friend, who loves the game and plays multiple times a day. We both started around the same time, but he’s made a lot more progress than I have. He started to get a bit cocky and said we should have a contest to see who could make the most progress in the game for one week. I talked him into putting some money on this harmless little wager and agreed to play against him. I have a job so he of course thought he would blow me out.

Little did he know I was going to use some sort of hack or cheat to steamroller him. I spent some time online trying to find a cheat that would work, and work well. I didn’t want to lose my money using some lousy, easily traceable hack that would result in me looking awful (and losing the bet at the same time). I finally found exactly what I was looking for online. Continue reading The Fastest Way to Move Forward

When my spouse asked me if I wanted to get into the pot-selling business with him, I laughed and dismissed his question at first. He told me that he wasn’t joking, and said that he had been thinking about it and hoped that the two of us could own and run a dispensary together now that it is legal to do. I was thinking about the conversation while watching a demonstration yesterday to learn about a new marijuana trimming machine that I was thinking of purchasing for our business. Continue reading Our Country is Rapidly Becoming More Progressive

I used to work from home, which counted as self employment. When I would file my taxes, I could do it online for free at a particular website because I was under the income limit and age for their requirements. Since then, I’ve gotten a job outside of home and don’t have to deal with self employment forms like schedule SE anymore. This came with a downside of not being able to file for free because I made enough money to pass the income limit. Instead, I turned to tax software by Keystone Tax Solutions to file for federal and state taxes.

Although I could have used the website I was using before to file, I just didn’t like the restrictions they had in place and didn’t want to run into anymore in the future. Continue reading Ditching the Restrictions on Tax Prep

I went to college to learn chemistry. I have worked for industrial plants and pharmaceutical companies as a chemist. Most of that work is monitoring or confirming what someone else has already made. I wanted to be more hands-on in making something that would help people. So, I came up with the idea of an organic white paint that did not present a volatile organic compound risk and was very earth-friendly. I sourced raw chemicals, bought a volumetric filling machine and paint cans and had a side business.

The paint was expensive to produce, so I knew it was a niche operation. Continue reading A Side Business Selling a Product That Requires Commercial Equipment to Prepare and Package

I fell down while walking down the street. It was quite embarrassing because I didn’t even trip over anything other than my own feet. There was a tiny bump in the sidewalk that I feel might have been the cause, but no one else seemed to have a problem with it. Anyway, I was in a lot of pain because I used both arms to catch myself as I fell forward. I didn’t break any bones, but I was certainly sore enough from this to visit a chiropractor in Peoria a few days after the accident.

I was going to go to my regular doctor, but I changed my mind because of where the pain was located. I figured that my doctor would just want me to go to the hospital and have X-rays done, but I could tell that nothing was broken. Continue reading I Had Torn Some Tissue

I think that many people are familiar with the concept of there being a lot of great plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. When I think of Beverly Hills, I immediately think about my wonderful chiropractor, who I would consider to be the best Beverly Hills chiropractor. I think that if people focus as much energy and attention on their backs as they do their outward appearance, people living in Beverly Hills would have the best posture in the world. I’m a huge proponent of visiting the chiropractor regularly, and I tell all my friends that they really should schedule a visit.

Last time I was discussing my back with my friends, I mentioned the fact that not only did my chiropractor provide me with my regular adjustments, but he also provided me with a massage. They gave me a funny look, so I decided to clarify my statement. I don’t think a lot of people know this, but massage and basic chiropractic care go hand-in-hand. Being able to have a massage after traditional treatment is a bonus for your muscles. Continue reading Getting a Massage from My Chiropractor

Back problems run in my family. You should hear the war stories of back pain when we get together for a family reunion or at Thanksgiving dinner. Every aunt, uncle, grandparent, parent and cousin has a story of aching backs. I never bought into it as a kid, but in my twenties my back really started to bother me. Mine was in my neck and shoulders. It was so bad that my posture was changing. I had all kinds of tests, and I was told that there was little that showed up as damage. A chiropractor in Redding is who finally got me relief. My back bothered me so bad at times that I actually considered letting a surgeon look around to see if he could find something that was not showing up on MRIs and CT scans. Can you imagine that?

After a few weeks of adjustments and exercises tailored especially for me, my back feels tremendously better. In addition to being a family of aching backs, we are an eclectic bunch when it comes to careers. Continue reading My Family Issue with Chronic Back Pain Finally Got Around to Me

It is very possible to have a fantastic website with very little traffic. The reasoning makes sense too, when you learn about it. I knew that I needed to hire an Atlanta SEO consultant after a friend of mine explained why my website was failing so miserably even though it was really nice. He told me to picture myself owning a fantastic store that had great products at incredible prices. I would have some foot traffic because of word of mouth, but that would be it unless I advertised so others knew about it.

That made sense to me. If I had a brick and mortar business, I would need to take out advertisements. The way online business works is through search engine optimization though. Continue reading Why I Hired an SEO Expert

I love to run, but I don’t like running by myself. None of my friends or family members share my passion, but I was not about to let that stop me from enjoying myself with a running partner. I simply went to the local animal shelter and adopted a young black lab pup. She is actually about a year old, and she is quick! I knew that she would be the perfect companion for running, but I still had to buy a collar and leash for her. I decided to look at a waist belt dog leash after asking some people on a runner’s forum about the supplies needed for a dog on a running trail. Continue reading My Dog is My Running Partner
