Favorite Hobbies - River Rafting
Monday, March 29th, 2010 | Hobbies |
One of my favorite hobbies is river rafting. I have always lived near a river or creek, and since I was a kid I loved to go tubing or rafting down the river. I think every kid loves to go tubing or rafting. I have gone many times, nearly every summer of my life. Usually I would just go on tubes. We could find tubes at a random tire repair shop. Often they just had inner tubes for sale that many of the kids in town would just go buy to go tubing. The creek was fine to tube on as a kid. It is ...› Continue reading

Fish Hobbies
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 | Hobbies |
Fish tanks and aquariums are a popular hobby for people of all ages. People can sit and stare at fish for hours. I remember when I received my first fish tank.

One day, however, I was down at the local pet shop and they had a contest or drawing where the winner would receive a free fish tank. I had never one a drawing like that before, and did not anticipate winning, nor did I think ...› Continue reading
Extending the Life of Your Business or Personal Computer Printer
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 | Business |
Among the components of a PC system, the printer is the last in the list of parts for upgrade and even for cleaning. This, however, should not be the case. Without a printer, one cannot produce hard copies of important documents. While printers do not generally bog down (not as often as one's operating system or cd player), it is still important that people take care of their printers. Unlike personal computers that undergo constant upgrading, printers can be used for years. New printers in ...› Continue reading

Sunday, March 21st, 2010 | Business |
First impressions can mean the difference between closing the deal of a lifetime or getting shot down in flames.

HOBBIES/INTERESTS/PASTIMES . . .
Friday, March 19th, 2010 | Hobbies |
HOBBIES is a word that has such a pleasurable and contented ring about it - hobbies, something that you enjoy doing and adds to the quality of your life. Perhaps like me, you envisaged retirement as a time to at last indulge yourself with all the hobbies and interests which had to be pushed into the background during the hectic years of working and looking after the family, only to discover that retirement is just as hectic and that it is still a job to fit in hobbies.

Most people who have already bought clip art from a place like Art Explosion already know the answer. Packages like Art Explosion cater to those who are dabbling in the internet and only need ...› Continue reading

Choose gifts based on hobbies or personality
Friday, March 5th, 2010 | Hobbies |
How often have you seen gift ideas "for him", "for her", "for kids", "for dad", "for mom"... yadda yadda yadda. While some of these suggestions may be valid, the categories are just too vague to be helpful. Who is HER or HIM? You may as well go back 50 years and use stereotypes to choose gifts! And why are Christmas gift suggestions different from birthday gift suggestions? Unless it's poinsettias or fruitcake (yuck), they shouldn't be different. Instead of looking at WHY you are buying a ...› Continue reading
