Posted by Sanjaya on December 16th, 2009 In the phone book under Raleigh home remodeling, is a list of too many contractors for me to call. I decided that maybe I would just check out the ones that had their websites next to their listings in the phonebook. That list was considerably shorter and I was able to find a Raleigh home remodeling company to handle my bathroom remodeling at a good price.
The bathroom remodeling that I had put off for many years had to happen this year because my husband family is coming to visit in three months. They have never seen our home and I would not want them to see the bathrooms the way that they are now, I would be very embarrassed.
I was having granite and porcelain tile installed into our guest bathroom and just granite in the master bathroom. I would like to have the porcelain tile also, but I can just not afford to do it in both. Maybe in a few years, I can go back and have the Raleigh home remodeling company come back and add the tile to my bathroom when I can afford to.
I am excited to see my husband’s family and I am glad that the bathrooms no longer look like they are from the seventies like they did just a month ago. I know that since they have never been here, they will not know the difference but I will.
Posted by Sanjaya on December 15th, 2009 I found out this morning that I was not approved for the mortgage on the Greek property. I knew that in today’s market and the way that the banks are holding onto their money, that it was a long shot. I had applied anyway, because I thought that there may be a small chance that I would actually get the money for the Greek property.
Since it did not work out, I am thinking of trying to purchase the Italian property that was offered to me on land contract. At least I know that it is a sure deal and I will finally get a second home to vacation to whenever I want.
I had promised my wife that before we turned forty that we would have a second home in some other part of the world and I think that since we are both thirty nine that I should get it done so that I have held up my end of the bargain. Although I know that Greece would be her first choice, I do not think that Italy is anything to sneeze at. When I hand her the keys, she will not care, as long as it is ours.
Posted by Sanjaya on December 9th, 2009 I saw at a convention last week the coolest website. This company had their website up on this huge screen and when you would mouse over something, it moved. There were even these boxes that spun. I had never seen anything like it and I do not think that anyone else had either because their booth was very crowded.
I later emailed the company and asked who had built the site and they responded that their whole office had contributed to it. I did not think that my office was that talented. They said that they started with one of the SWiSH templates and then with everyone’s input, they customized it to work with their company. They said that some knowledge of Photo Shop and or Dream Weaver is a good thing. They told me that it really did not cost very much either. I would think that a site like that would cost somewhere in the thousands. I figured that if it did not cost a ton of money, our office should give it a try.
We all sat down and looked at the SWiSH templates and considered all of the SWiSH designs before making our final decision. We collaborated on the whole project and we did it. I was shocked at how easy it was to use the SWiSH designs but my office did it, so I know that anyone can do it.
Posted by Sanjaya on December 2nd, 2009 My family bought a lake house in Illinois and we all decided to fix it up. We started by looking for a general contractor in Chicago to do a lot of work in the kitchen. I wanted to put in new granite countertops and new porcelain tile for the floor and the backsplash. I found a Chicago remodeling company that I found online that would do everything that I wanted in the time frame of four months. I got everything I wanted with my new kitchen and could not believe how beautiful it was. I was so excited about the kitchen, I decided to have the general contractor in Chicago redo my bathroom and replace the current bathtub with a garden tub. I have always wanted a garden tub, every time I go to a hotel with a garden tub I think about having one in my own bathroom. I also discussed putting in double sinks in my bathroom and new lighting fixtures. I was more excited about the garden tub than anything else that I had done in the kitchen and they started immediately after they finished the kitchen. The Chicago remodeling company that I used was so professional and finished my bathroom in record time so that I could enjoy all my new luxuries. I decided to go with a themed bathroom after they finished, it was a Hawaiian Luau theme and it was very fun.
Posted by Sanjaya on December 1st, 2009 I love shopping for my next pair of Hogan shoes online. I usually do it on my lunch hour at my desk while some of the other secretaries are hard at work. I hope that I never get caught by the tech department for using the work computer to do personal business. I have never done it during the time when I should be working though.
Last month I found a website where I bought a fabulous pair of Prada shoes and now I am hooked. I made sure to have them be delivered to my parent’s house so that my husband does not see how much they cost me. If he saw the receipt, he would be very unhappy and I am sure that he would not understand that they were a bargain.
The first pair of Hogan shoes that I ever bought was when my husband and I were still dating and when he saw how much I paid for them, he told me that we would not be able to afford them when we got married. He wanted to take every penny we made and put it into a savings account for our retirement but I need shoes, so I shop and do not tell him.
Posted by Sanjaya on November 30th, 2009 When my neighbors told me that they were having some work done on their house and I would probably see a lot of contractors in and out, I had no idea that they were going to completely redo the house. They had contractors in the house for about six weeks and I knew they had to be doing a lot of changes because they were carrying in and out lots of new fixtures, carpeting ,cabinetry and doors.
The thing that I really liked that they did, that set their house apart from the rest of the neighborhood was the wrought iron doors and the iron gates that they put in. I loved the look of the wrought iron doors and the way the detail in the iron gates matched so well with the doors.
I asked my husband if we could look into having that kind of wrought iron doors installed in our house and he said that it would look like we were copying and that would not be nice. I talked to the neighbors about it and they said that there are so many different styles of wrought iron doors and gates that our houses would not look like anyone copied each other if we decided to have them installed at our house also.
Posted by Sanjaya on November 24th, 2009 If you buy your funny shirts online, you are in good company. I have noticed so many sites popping up these days, that there must be money to be made in the industry.
I do know a few friends from college who started up a funny t shirts business online to make their way through college but I do not remember the name of the site. Our whole dorm used to order our funny shirts from them-they were cheap and reliable. Whenever someone came up with a new catch phrase, they would slap it on a funny t shirt and cash in. I remember working in the library, wishing that I could be like them but I was not very creative.
I would love to see how they all turned out. Maybe they run a successful funny t shirts store somewhere in the world or maybe they are just losers now. I doubt it though; their site was one of the most popular of its kind back in the day. If I could remember the name of it, I would do a search for funny shirts to see if it is still out there.
Maybe at our next reunion, someone will be able to tell me if those guys sell funny t shirts, or if they all became doctors or lawyers. It would be cool, to see them again.
Posted by Sanjaya on November 20th, 2009 I used to wear offensive t shirts before I got married. My wife told me that I had to start dressing like a grown up when we got married. I was not happy with the whole thing, since she knew that ninety percent of my wardrobe was offensive t shirts and she met me wearing one. She explained that she liked them when we were back in college but since we are starting a new life with real jobs, I should start thinking of getting rid of them.
I will pack all my offensive t shirts away and put them in the basement, but I am not going to get rid of them. I was thinking that if I cannot wear offensive t shirts then maybe she will be okay with me wearing clean funny shirts instead. I will ask her to okay everyone that I purchase to make sure that she approves and it may be a good way for us to compromise on the subject.
If I am willing to give up my old shirts then I am certain that she will be willing to give a little on the t shirt subject. I know that she just said the offensive ones needed to go, and did not say anything about trying a kind of t shirt.
Posted by Sanjaya on November 10th, 2009 I needed to find a company that did plasma mounting on the weekends. I was getting my parents a gift for their anniversary and wanted to make sure that the plasma screen could be mounted while they were away on a trip. I had been saving money to buy the television for months now, but had not considered what it would cost for the plasma mounting. I asked a couple of guys at work what they thought it would cost and they had no clue.
I looked up some different kinds of television companies and found a home theater installers Michigan company that worked after hours and on the weekends. I figured that if they could install whole home theater systems then they could handle a little plasma mounting.
When the home theater installers Michigan company technician met me at my parent’s house on a Saturday morning, I had to ask him what he thought the cost of labor and parts would be to complete the job. He gave me the quote and I was happy to see that it was about half of what I was planning for.
My parents were thrilled to come home to a new plasma television and asked which home theater installers Michigan company had done such a great job since they had hung it perfectly and did not make any mistakes.
Posted by Sanjaya on November 2nd, 2009 I was on my way to my favorite store when I noticed a new store opening right beside it. I could not tell what it was going to be and there were no signs outside telling you the name or the date that they would be opening. The only way that you could tell that they were opening up something new was by the people working inside putting clothes on hangers and organizing shelves.
I asked the girls in the store what their neighboring store was going to be and they told me that they were going to sell funny t shirts. I thought that it was a great idea. I am always looking for funny shirts to wear when we go out to the clubs and stuff. Not to mention I bet that all of the local high school and college kids will love to come to the funny t shirts store.
I was telling everyone at work the following day and they all were excited to go there when they opened. I saw an ad in the paper later that week that explained that the funny shirts store was opening on that following Friday and they were currently taking applications. I went and applied and got a night job at the funny t shirts store.
Posted by Sanjaya on October 29th, 2009 I was so thrilled with the gift of funny shirts that my daughter got me for my birthday. She is only six and she picked out all three different funny shirts by herself. She was very proud of the fact that she had done some shopping for me online with her father, but he let her make most of the choices.
Of course, she wanted to get all of my funny shirts in the color pink. She loves pink, but I do not. Thank goodness that my husband helped her to change her mind and get me two white t shirts and one that is red.
I guess that they had to sort through some of the other websites and stay away from them because a lot of them sold offensive t shirts. My daughter is just starting to read and even though my husband did like some of the offensive t shirts, he knew that he could not let our daughter sit there and look through all of them. I made sure that he gave me the web address of the sites that had some of the racier designs, so that I could go back and check them out at a later date.
Posted by Sanjaya on October 13th, 2009 I am happy to see that the adult t shirts that I got for my roommates are being worn regularly. I was not sure if they would all like the same funny t shirts or not, so I ordered a few different styles and colors. I let them choose which ones they wanted and I took the ones that were left. I liked them all, so it did not matter to me which ones I got.
I ordered them about two months ago after coming across a website that sold them and thousands more. It seemed that there were more funny t shirts ,on this site, and then I had time to look at. I narrowed down the search, once I was in the site and came up with the best ones I could find. I ordered a few small and a couple of mediums. Most of us girls wore the smalls, but I figured that they might also like a bigger medium t shirt too.
My best friend Gail chose the small pink funny t shirt that I think looks really great on her. My other roommate Kris chose the medium yellow funny t shirt. We also gave some to the girls next door and that left me with the two medium adult t shirts, one was black and the other was red. I really liked them, and I wear them very proudly.
Posted by Sanjaya on October 11th, 2009 My high school reunion is coming up and I have taken on the task of having a website design company build us a site. This way anyone from our class can go there and find out information about the reunion, or other classmates, or even post information about them. I started my search for a Phoenix web design company last fall when the committee got together to discuss what the easiest way would be to contact our old classmates.
The committee came up with trying to get as many people on the social networking sites from our class that we could, until the site was up and running. We had about seventy five percent signed up on the most popular networking site, and then pointed them all to our site that the Phoenix web design company finished in less than a month.
We are feeling that by having a professional website design company handle the whole thing, it will run a lot smoother. We will be able to get out our reunion information, and also stay in touch with everyone after the reunion through this website. I have set up a way for everyone to contribute a little bit of money to help pay the web hosting fees and I think that we will be good to go for many years.
Posted by Sanjaya on September 23rd, 2009 When I had saved up enough money to get the body contouring in Milwaukee done, I was very proud of myself. I had first thought that the lipo Milwaukee doctor had lost his mind when he told me how much it was going to cost to have the things done that I wanted.
I had left that day in tears but knew that I was going to have my body contouring in Milwaukee some day, even if it meant waiting for a very long time. I did not work a fancy job and make lots of money like some of the people who hire the lipo Milwaukee doctor but I was bound and determined to get what I wanted.
I worked any extra overtime that I could and cut back on a few things around the house. I even sold some of my grandmother’s jewelry to help fund this procedure. I was really hoping that all the sacrifices were going to be worth it. If not, I could never get back all those extra hours and time, or the valuable family heirlooms that I had sold for about half of their value.
I called the lipo Milwaukee doctor and explained to him that I had been to see him earlier in the year and was not able to have the body contouring in Milwaukee done at that time, but I was ready now
Posted by Sanjaya on September 15th, 2009 For the dentists out there that are having issues lifting their wheelchair bound patients in and out of their wheelchairs, there is something new that may be able to help them. I recently attended a medical seminar that explained a new device to aid those that practice special care dentistry.
I know that when my grandfather would go to the special care dentistry office, it would usually take a couple of people to help get him into the dentist chair that reclined so that he could have a full cleaning and exam done properly. Since wheelchairs do not recline, there was no way that he could stay in his wheelchair until now.
I am not sure if my grandfathers’ dentist has been smart enough to have this device installed in his special care dentistry practice, but I do plan on pointing it out to him the next time I take my grandfather to the dentist, if he does not already have it. I think that it is fairly new, so there may not be that many doctors and dentist that have ever heard of it yet.
If there are any new dentists getting ready to open up their own practice, I think it would be very wise to consider putting in this kind of device for their patients.
