More and more people are losing their jobs and homes and the news is full of horrible stories about many of these poor folks that are being forced to leave their homes and are abandoning their pets. That is just wrong. It is just as bad as leaving a pet in a hot car during these hot summer months. Wake up folks!

My brother and his wife have decided that they want to take their kids to the beach for school starts. Apparently school starts very early down where they live. The first day of school for them is in the beginning of August, while we have always had our schools start after Labor Day which of course is always in the first week of September. So time is running out and they are running into some snags in finding a good spot to travel to.

Since BP has destroyed most of the beaches on the east coast the choices have been narrowed down considerably and the word is that folks are flocking to resorts in Myrtle Beach, which I’m sure Myrtle Beach is just loving all the money that is heading their way this year. I’ve heard that Myrtle Beach has been trying hard to get more business their way so I guess they got what they were asking for, by default.

So it looks like they have been busy using the Internet to find the best Myrtle Beach hotel that they can find in such a short time frame. They have been using sites like http://avistaresort.com to find what they are looking for. Not only do they want the whole beach experience for the kids, but they want to be able to get in a game or two of golf as well. I wish them luck and hope that they have a blast before the time runs out and it’s back to school once again.

I have noticed that there are a lot of new 7-11 stores popping up all over the area. I’m not sure why there is such a sudden rush of 7-11s, not that I mind, I love a good cold Slurpee now and then and they usually have decent gas prices.

I was looking for the Slurpee song that used to be a hit back in the 70′s on YouTube.com, but I couldn’t find it, but I did come across the funny 7-11 prank call.

My sister was telling me that she has several websites that are due for renewal and she is thinking about switching the web hosting service that she uses for the sites.  She said that the webhosting services that she has now are too expensive and don’t give her enough storage space.  I asked her how in the world does one even learn about the different web hosting services?  This whole thing can get complicated!

She told me that she has found several websites that provide a variety of webhostinghub reviews that feature the pros and cons of many of the different web hosting services.  She says that she is still learning the tricks of the trades, but that fortunately there is a lot of helpful information on many of the websites that are geared towards helping her make the right decision.  All I know is, I’m glad I don’t have to figure all of that out!  It can get confusing!

After all these years since the E-911 went on board throughout the state, I am still amazed by how many people don’t have any address signs on their houses! The law states that in order to be in compliance, so that emergency personnel can locate a victim that needs help that an address sign needs to be on the house, clearly visable from the road. If the house itself is not visable from the road, then an address plaque should be beside the driveway that leads to the house.

 

Too many people think that having a rural mail box with their address on it is sufficient. Which would be great reasoning except for the fact that many people’s mailbox is not even on the same side of the road as their house! And what about those mailbox groupings where six or seven of them are all sharing the same post? How is an ambulance driver supposed to find you then? People are so numb sometimes!
