Might start a store

November 9, 2006 by Tricia

I’ve been thinking of starting an online store- just for the heck of it. The one that I’m thinking of using will let me also sell products on EBay if I want to.

Now I’ve never sold items on ebay but some of my friends and internet acquaintances sell on Ebay and they’ve done rather well. So maybe I will, maybe I won’t. I seem to be taking on more and more so I guess if I do it will be a while from now.

n the meantime I found some eBay forums where both the buyers and sellers can learn more, check out items that they think might be scams, or learn how to use Ebay effectively. If I decide to pursue the store idea, and possible sell on ebay I think I might check this forum more closely.

Have you ever sold anything on Ebay before? I’m a complete novice not having even bought anything on ebay. Have you been a successful buyer or seller?

Would you get liposuction done?

November 8, 2006 by Tricia

Did I ever tell you that the cosmetic surgeon that I worked for did liposuction? Guess who got to put the fat sucked out of people into bio hazard containers? Yeah me! Fun stuff huh?

I always felt more than a little bit sorry for the patients as they left the recovery room after their procedures. I knew they were going to be in some pain for a little while. However, when they’d come back in for follow up appointments you could really see how well the liposuction had worked for them.

I’m not sure that I would ever get this procedure done. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just not for me.

However I’m wondering how many of my readers have had this procedure done? Or if you are considering it? And if you have had liposuction did you like the results?

More free stuff for my readers

November 8, 2006 by Tricia

I found another site where you can get free stuff! I know you’ve appreciated my other posts where I’ve told you about getting items for free or discounts on items so I thought I’d let you know about Freebie Fanatics.

When you visit Freebie Fanatics you’ll find hundreds of articles on how to get free stuff for babies, or even free wedding stuff. Just go to site and browse through the categories. Once you find a category you’re interested in, perhaps one such as the free food where you’ll find articles about how to get free samples and even full sized products from many different companies.

I know that a lot of people like to use coupons too. There’s a whole section at Freebie Fanatics with free coupons where you’ll find articles on how to get free coupons for just about any product you can imagine.

Oh, and if you have pets you’ll enjoy the section that has free stuff for pets such as free puppy training items, pet food samples and even toys for your pets.

My bet is that many of you will check out Freebie Fanatics- who could pass up free stuff? I know I can’t. LOL

I think he got the job!

November 8, 2006 by Tricia

Chris went to work Tuesday evening and everyone that he ran into kept congratulating him on getting the OR attendant position that I mentioned in a post this past weekend. Only problem was that he hadn’t been interviewed for the job yet. Huh?

Well he went and had his interview this afternoon and while they didn’t say that he got the job the director of the OR Recovery area told him he should speak with his current boss about the possibility that he would be changing positions before she did. Chris has balls (well of course, he’s a guy) so he told the director about people congratulating him the night before, and while she still didn’t confirm that he got the job she did reply to him that she “might have mentioned it to a few people.”

It will still be a part time job in the hospital but he’ll have more hours. He’s guaranteed 4 DAYS a week. No more day,evening and night shifts! Plus he’ll only have to be on call every third weekend, and when he’s on call he’ll get paid for four hours work even if he only goes in for an hour. AND since he’s still part time he’ll still be receiving the 14% on top of his hourly pay in lieu of benefits. HA!

The job hasn’t been confirmed but it’s looking good. Keep your fingers crossed please!

Leave yourself a message

November 8, 2006 by Tricia

I just found a site that offers a very unique and helpful service that I think many people could use. The site is BrainCast. It’s a free message and memo service that allows you to record reminders for yourself on the go, and automatically delivers them to your PC at home for later use. You can even store and organize your messages online if you want to keep track of them.

Not only can you leave your self a message from anywhere using any US based cell or land line telephone network, but you can call the Braincast toll free number and access your messages via the phone anywhere you are at absolutely no cost.

For example- you are at work and a meeting is going to start in a few minutes, and you suddenly remember that you need to buy more laundry detergent. Quickly use your cell or telephone and leave yourself a memo. Go to the grocery store on your way home from work and when you have that nagging feeling that you are forgetting something you can call the Braincast toll free number to collect your message and get that reminder that you need to pick up laundry detergent, which you would have forgotten about if you hadn’t been able to listen to your message.

Whenever you leave yourself a message you’ll get an email reminding you that you’ve left a message. Then you can listen to your messages on the Braincast website or by calling the toll free number from anywhere that you happen to be. You can label your messages too, and by doing that you’ll be able to organize your messages anyway you want.

It’s free and I think it’s worth a try. I did not try out this service myself because I’m in Canada and the site states that it works with US based cell and telephone systems so I figured it wouldn’t work for me. I might sign up and see if I’m right later. Either way, I think this might be a handy service for you to try.

If you do sign up to try Braincast’s message system would you let me know if you enjoyed the service and if my post was helpful? Thanks.
