I'm just saying, who has time to get yourself out of work and to a class or two so that you can try to scratch out a better salary? I don't, and most of the rest of you will be in complete agreement with me on that. Given the opportunity to maybe work some extra hours for a little more 'scratch' in our paycheck versus hurrying to a class for the potential for 'future' monetary gain, the quick and now money usually wins. On the other hand, maybe your one of the ones that recently fell onto har... Read Full Story

This is a reprint from my other blog for viewing to a different following.I'm writing this article only because there are still people destroying their Sago palms because they think they're dying of white spot disease.

It's cycad aulacaspis scale infestation(also known as Asian cycad scale and sago palm scale), which is a pest not a disease. Ori... Read Full Story

Okay, Technorati just put a crimp into my web site plans. In their effort to upgrade their site they removed the Ping function that allowed people like me with Blogger based websites to go to them and request a ping to update site posts. Scripts for doing pings from the blog itself do not seem to work with the Blogger architecture. This means I have just a few options in order to Ping myself. I can do manual pings with separate code or I can get hooked up with a website directory that will tr... Read Full Story

That's right, things are getting very weird. I wrote a post the other day referencing Do You Know the Way to San Jose song and now I suddenly hear from my cousin Brian in, where else, San Jose! Out of the blue he calls and wants to reminisce about old times in Massachusetts. He also knows I know quite a few attorneys and doctors, from college and business contacts. I was trying to find out, in a non-offensive way, what he needed because this was obviously not a social call from out of the blu... Read Full Story

The weather in Florida is starting to cool a little, down into the 80's! It's the perfect time to tackle some of those household repairs I said I'd do when it got cooler. In other words, my bluff is being called! Okay, I have to eventually do them so I may as well stop typing and go do them, well maybe not quite yet at least. I need to put pen to paper and detail what I need to do and what I need to pick up at Lowes home center. There's nothing worse, nothing, than getting halfway into a job ... Read Full Story

I've heard it many times from people that never took the time to receive a formal education because of this, that, and the other thing. Something always took precedence over getting the sheepskin such as needing to bring money into the house, no money to waste on that kind of thing, who really needs a degree, and the ever popular - experience outshines a degree! Experience is invaluable but a degree will get you in the door to that job you want! What the folks fail to understand is that by at... Read Full Story

Questions, questions, questions - always the questions. Sometimes it's a big mistake to answer questions that people toss out at you because you suddenly become the 'Go To Guy' for all questions big and small. On this blog I was asked the question what's the best weight loss pills and I had an answer, or rather I directed then to how to find the answer for themselves. I'm not a doctor, especially a doctor who knows them inside and out. I've been asked why they should upgrade to Windows 7 and ... Read Full Story

The holidays are coming up fast and the game consoles are still hotter than ever! Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are expected to bring in millions of dollars in sales again! The price reductions, the new games and especially the new accessories to go along with the consoles to increase the gaming experience. Wii dominated last years sales and a good part of the year afterward but the PS3 is making it's move and Sony wants a bigger share than last year so it can stay in the gaming forefront! ...
