I’ve thought lately about going back to school, an electronics repair course would be right up my alley and would help out a lot. There’s only one place left in town that does repairs and they’re only doing TVs now from what I hear, so I’m sure there’d be a bit of business to [...]

We own our debit machine while most stores and businesses rents theirs. The debit machines are different from the POS systems that one uses to record your sales but it is a must to have in any businesses. Some 5 yrs ago, we were approached by a company that sells debit machine [...]

Wow, only 1 month left til Christmas. No I’m not ready for it, I haven’t bought a single thing yet! I’m a last minute shopper of the worst kind, but oh well, I’m ok with it even if it drives the wife nuts.
The annual Christmas parade takes place this Saturday at 6pm and [...]
Foreign Doctors

My daughter’s doctor and 4 others are leaving town by the end of this year or early next year, thus leaving 1000s of people without a family doctor. It’s very disturbing how these doctors come and goes when the kids or family had already settled in with them and build a repertoire and warmth [...]

We decorated early this year, once Remembrance Day was over we started putting up the Christmas stuff. The window theme for the downtown this year is “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, so we’ve got Santa Homer playing drums, some snowmen will be on guitars and mic and we still need to get a tree [...]

Well. As many of you know, the town council has been working on a revitalization plan for the downtown. And so far they are being fought every step of the way. So once again I’m turning my attention to Starr’s Road. As I sit here looking through my empty store to [...]

Finally, a video game sequel that doesn’t start you off with nothing. After destroying all the rival families in the original Godfather game in order to put yourself in the Don’s seat it just wouldn’t make sense to start off the sequel as a lowly nobody again, would it? But, reaching for a [...]

After having so much problem with viruses last week I decided it’s time I start doing regular backups, at least of the important data, the stuff that isn’t easy to get back. I realized that if my POS software were to get completely ruined it would take a looong time to restore. Nearly [...]

Despite all the hubbub over the event, and the down town “planners” requesting that we stay open longer than normal hours in order to accommodate all the extra people who would surely be in town, we noticed hardly any extra business during the music week festivities. I’m sure the restaurants and hotels did much [...]

My old phone served me well, had it for about 5 years and while it does still work, the screens on it are kinda messed up. I have to keep taking the battery out in order to reset them if I want to be able to see the call display or the number I’m [...]

Someone was in the store the other day.. and asked my view regarding Th ‘Yarc and the present debate and fiasco that is going on .. about whether it should be on Parade Street or Collins Street? Who do I support? I’m an inside outsider and really I cannot give my comments nor [...]
