My Father Is Selling Silver Coins

01/31/2010

My father is selling silver coins to a museum this month. He put out the word to a bunch of his friends who also collect and told them to pass it along to anyone they know who might be interested that he was selling silver coin collections that he had for years. I think that they were all shocked but they also knew that he had some really rare coins.

When the museum called to see if he was serious when he said he would sell silver coins from his collection, he told them yes. They immediately wanted to meet with him to check out the shape of the collection but I think that they had to already know that everything he has is in perfect condition.

They chose to buy ninety percent of what he was willing to sell silver wise and then they even talked him into a few gold coins that he did not plan on getting rid of. The amount of money they offered him was enough to change his mind though. I believe that the entire sale will be finalized by the end of the month. The museum had to file the necessary paperwork and get the funding approved, and that should be done in a few days.

Our New Web Design Company Is A Success

01/18/2010

I was looking forward to having six of my best friends all working under the same roof. We had pooled our money together and our expertise in custom web design and opened up a new web design company in our hometown. We knew that our town was much too small to keep us busy, so we started a very aggressive campaign with our very own website.

We found that with the right connections and with our knowledge, we could plan to have more than enough work right off the bat with our web design company. Our building was not going to be fully ready for at least four more months, but we decided to work out of my house while we tried to get to the top of the search engines for custom web design and start pulling in those big accounts.

After just two months of working continuously, we had twenty new custom web design orders and had been put on a list of the top web design company lists in the world. It was then and shortly before we were moving into our new office that we came to realize that with a little hard work and determination, we could pretty much accomplish anything.

The Local Office Supply Stores Are All Closing

Four of the last five local office supply companies that my office has used, have gone out of business. I know that the big chain store that came in made it hard for them to compete but I just wish that they would have put their heads together and been able to order the big quantities of office supplies and then pass it on to the customers and they might have been able to stay in business longer.

Our downtown looks like a ghost town with all of the little mom and pop stores closing because of all the big chain type stores that have moved in out by the mall. I know that both of the hardware stores are having a rough time competing with the big home improvement store that opened up a year ago.

So, my office is once again looking for an office supply company, but we know that there really is not anyone local and we do not want to use the big store for our office supplies. I decided to look on the internet and see if we could find a good affordable and reliable company that would ship our office supplies directly to us and I was able to find a couple different ones.

Sorting Through Affordable Life Insurance Quotes

01/12/2010

I have been looking over the four different affordable life insurance quotes that my agent sent over last week and am having a hard time deciding which policy to go with. I know that I need to choose one that will cover all my debt and my funeral costs, but there are only two that do just that and the other two will leave a lot of money for my wife and my kids also. I know that I should set up the two that have the extra funds but I am just not sure if I can afford those right now.

My wife and I just had our second child and money is pretty tight right now, in fact she was against me even looking into the affordable life insurance quotes. She thinks that we just cannot afford to add one more thing to our budget but I know that this is probably more important than anything else we have to pay for right now.

I think that I am just going to go with the no medical life insurance policy that will just cover our current debt and my funeral expenses. This way, I know that they will at least be debt free and the house will be completely free and clear for them. I figured that with the no medical life insurance policy, my wife will not even know that I set it up and I would just give a copy of it to my lawyer to hold for safe keeping.

Dell Repair Store Sold Out Of Poweredge Servers

01/04/2010

The poweredge servers that were on sale at the store are all gone. I thought that by getting there early in the morning, I would have really good chance of getting one. Of course, the saleslady that I talked to told me that they had a line outside the building before they even opened. I guess that I did not think that there were that many people who noticed such great buys when they see it.

I had gotten the flyer from the dell repair store about three days earlier about the big sale on the poweredge servers and was not sure if I really wanted one or not. I told my boss about the sale and he asked me to go by and get one for him. He thought that it was a great deal and he said that since I was planning on going anyway, and the limit was two that I should just get his too.

I guess that he might be a little upset with me for getting to the dell repair store so late, but I was also picking up his dry cleaning and coffee before heading here so it is technically his fault. If I had come straight here I might have been able to get at least one of the poweredge servers for one of us, I would have given it to him probably.
