About three months ago, my sister told me that she wants to start a new business with her hubby.  They have been participating in selling in flea markets for many years, and think that they have found a niche that would be successful in a retail environment.

The biggest problem in starting any business is financing.  It is hard to start up a business, you need capital.   The best way to have capital is to have rich relatives that are willing to “front” you money, but that is NOT the case with our family!  Those that have the money are unwilling to part with it.

So, that leaves Small Business Loans.  Most banks require detailed business plans, tax returns, and lots of documentation.  I took a lot of business courses in college, and I have run a small business myself, and I know what a lot of difficult work that is!

My brother loves to collect gadgets.  He is always spending his disposable income on the latest and greatest gadget he can find.  He came over today to show off his new flashlight that he just bought over the Internet.  This new flashlight that he bought is a LED flashlight that is rechargeable, requires no batteries, and runs for an hour on just one charge.
What a showoff he is!

Well my doctor has been on vacation and the jerk that is filling in for him won’t give me anything to make this sinus infection go away.  There are notes in my file that say that I should be given antibiotics when I get sick, but he is refusing to honor the note.  When my regular doctor returns from vacation I am going to have to ask him to give me antibiotics to have on hand for when I get sick and he can’t be reached.  This is awful!

Well the weather is going crazy around here, cold mornings and warm afternoons.  The perfect season for catching colds, and yes, I’ve caught one myself!  And it’s a real doozy of a cold!  Whenever I catch a cold it immediately goes into a sinus infection and I’m miserable for several weeks.  I’ve got to try to get hold of my doctor and try to convince him to put me on antibiotics to shorten the misery, but my doctor is often reluctant to do that right away.  Wish me luck!  I’m pretty miserable!
