Thank You Smiles

All through childhood parents try to teach their children good manners.
Please, may I and you're welcome.
The simple but meaningful phrases that seem to get the best results kind of etiquette things.
Well those are all fine and well meaning, but have you ever noticed how a child's smile can super cede all the words in the English language?
A smile is silent, short and sweet and melts your heart instantly.
I love to get a smile any day.

Kate Plus 8

I feel so bad for Jon and Kate AND the 8 children.
Sometimes people grow apart or out grow each other and this is one of those times.
I hope Jon man's up and stays in the children's lives...I am just a little worried about this.
As I watched the progression of the show I could see them drifting apart as the stress of all the children and celebritism and Kate's travels on top of it all.
Jon needs to find his niche so he can be his own man again.
I think it overwhelmed them all and Kate just went with the flow and it making the best of this type of life.
Women seem to be able to be more flexible than men when it comes to family matters...most of the time and Jon just lost the spotlight as the man of the house, so to speak.
But what would anyone do in a situation with 8 children and 6 of them all at one time?
At least with the breaking up of this family, they won't be destitute like some families are in a divorce situation.
Should be interesting to follow the life and times of Kate Plus 8.

Geeks Are Great

I think I mentioned before that I like the site WebHostingGeeks.com. When my daughter was teaching me about blogging, she taught me to keep an eye on things like web hosting costs, and current web issues.

One of the biggest thing she was trying to teach me was SEO or Search Engine Optimization. I know that it is important when it comes to search engine ranking and all that, but it seems that there is always more to learn about SEO. Well, webhostinggeeks.com not only has great pricing information on web hosting services, but I go there frequently to read the articles on the site. I just read this one called Three Essential Elements of SEO, and it was really usful.

So if you are like me and like to keep up on hosting prices, and other current topics in the world of websites, you should check this site out. It also comes in handy for posting ideas, as far as topics that other website owners and bloggers will be interested in. I want to go back and read the many articles they have on domain names. I am thinking of starting a new blog and I want to come up with a really great name, but I want to make a smart choice as well.

What is your favorite site to keep up to date on web information? I am always looking for ways to keep up to date. The internet moves so fast and changes even faster. What do you do for inspiration when writer's block hits? I shared one of my favorite sites,,, now it is your turn.

Meema To The Rescue

Let me start this by saying,,, I love my grand kids,,, that being said, they can drive a person bonkers. Why do they act the worst when they know I am trying to be nice and let their mom and dad have an evening off? The like to have time with me, the are always trying to be good so that they can get to be the kid that stays with Meema. Then when I have already signed up to watch all three of them, they go nuts.

They are such smart, sweet kids and every time I think I have them figured out, they throw me a curve. On nights like tonight they are especially unpredictable. For instance, they always like getting a bath. I thought I would start our evening together by giving them one so that they would be more relaxed, but tonight it seemed to wind them up..I can't figure them out LOL.

I will have to pull out the magic popcorn pan later and see if popcorn, a movie and a snuggle does the trick. Love those babies!

Invest Advertising Monies Wisely

When a company does industrial marketing and I mean a lot of it, I always wondered how they kept track of which type did them the most good.
Like if they use flyers for indusrtial marketing or online surveys, how much good is it doing the company on its product.
And then I find by surfing the internet that there is a company that sells software that can actually analyze, prioritize and organize those areas of industrial marketing that can make your company prosper the most.
It can track how much in spent in each area and what is getting the best response and what might be a better way for you to choose to advertise or get new leads for your business.
The online website has a easy to understand demo and I am surprised the software is so inexpensive for what it can do for you.
It explained it so well even I understood it and that is really something.
But back to the software, I know computers and software are they way to establish contact with the outside world, I had no idea it was so specific in what they could do with marketing.
If you have a business or plan on starting a business this is the best thing I have seen for keeping tabs on advertising monies and the best way to direct it for your company's growth.

Car, Bike and Truck Shows

'Tis the season for car, bike and truck shows.
We just went to one over the week end in Indiana...sorry to say it was not as good as it could have been.
The promoters anticipated a bunch of people to come but they did not get a good attendance at all.
Of course we had the usual rain in between days and it got a bit cold at night but all in all the weather was tolerable.
The fairgrounds was a great place for location for the event so I don't know why more people did not come out for it.
They had mud bogs, tractor pulls, Big Foot 1 and another one can't remember which one.
And the lawn mower the gang fixed up for races were unreal!
It was a good week end for those of us that did show up though.
Hope next year they have a better crowd for their event.
