Never Ending Bills
Posted on September 29, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Finances, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
It seems like I’m always making insurance payments on one thing or another. I literally just finished paying my house insurance last month and now the store insurance is due. Then in December the car insurance is due. I always do them in installments though, 3 payments per policy so that’s a [...]

Despite how dead the downtown appears, business has been picking up lately (knock on wood). Computer work is up and used games are selling well, although I’d like to see a little more action on the newer consoles. Still though, I’ll take when I can get in PS2 & Game Cube sales. [...]

Living around here my whole life has gotten me accustomed to having hardly anything to listen to on the radio. With only one english radio station to tune in to, the benefits of high speed internet really shine. Many radio stations (ours included, strangely enough) are now offering online broadcasts, which means we [...]

One of these days we’re going to get a little more high tech around here and add in a bar code labeling system. Scanners are pretty cheap now, starting around $100 for a decent one and most POS software has a built in option to print out the coded stickers so the transition would [...]

I played the Lego Star Wars games a while back and this month saw the release of Lego Indiana Jones. I enjoyed the others so I decided to check this one out too. Overall it’s a very fun game. Like the Star Wars one you journey through a variety of levels [...]

With summer here and tourists flooding the town (hah! right…) it’s time to start moving things around again. As with every year we give some thought to doing in-store computer rentals, for internet use and such, but now we have even less room than before since we’re in a smaller store. I do [...]

A couple years ago my doctor switched my asthma medication, at the time I was still on Ventolin but when he heard I was generally using it once or twice a day he said that’s too much. Ventolin can cause your throat passages to remain constricted after prolonged usage. It’s hard enough to [...]

I wear glasses. Most of the time I don’t mind them honestly. Other times I simply hate them. They get dirty, and these plastic lenses are a pain to clean. On top of that they’re full of light scratches that sometimes can be distracting.
Why not just get my eyes lazered? [...]

Looking to get away for a week or two? I wish I could, but being self-employed is a thankless and demanding job, especially when you’re fed up with trying to hire idiots employees to look after things when you’re not around.
MGM Grand is a world famous Las Vegas hotel and Casino and is one [...]

When I was in Singapore and Hong Kong about 6 years ago, I picked up a couple dozen watches. Cheap knock-offs of popular brands like CK and Fossil, they were only around $5 each with the exchange rate, but sold well at $15 to $20 here. They looked decent enough, but as far [...]

We sell used laptops here, and the most common problem I see with them is that the batteries don’t last very long, even on a full charge. After years of use and hundreds of chargings, batteries tend to lose their strength. After looking around at the selection on lowcostbatteries.com I’m going to recommend [...]
