When I was younger my grandfather had rental houses all over Houston, Texas. I remember every summer he would hire people to paint and fix the houses after the renters had destroyed them! After many years of renting and fixing up houses my grandfather retired and ended up selling most of his rentals. However, that’s how he made his fortunes without even as much as a high school education.
One house in particular that my grandfather owned that was my favorite was on a golf course. The house was a simple three bedroom, two bath house but I loved the fact that at anytime you could walk into the back yard and be on the golf course. Plus, if you lived there you could opt to be part of the country club.
When we went to Las Vegas we actually saw one of the most beautiful golf course communities I have ever seen. There were huge houses placed beautifully throughout the course and in the background was the beautiful surroundings of the orange mountains that fill the Las Vegas outskirts.
GolfCourseParadise.com combines beautiful housing with a top notch golf courses. What could be better than waking up in the morning, rolling out of bed, and being right on the first hole of a beautiful golf course?

Being that we have a Plastic Surgeon in the family, more than likely if we need plastic surgery done, we would seek the advise of my father.
The most important part about choosing a good plastic surgeon is find not only looking at their education and experience but also making sure that they are the right fit for you. Many times people sacrifice a good bed side manner for “a better technical doctor.”
That doesn’t have to be the case. There are thousands of doctors out there who will give you both quality care with a friendly bedside manner.
Check out this: Plastic Surgery Resource - Plastic Surgeons who want to be your doctor and are willing to go out of their way to not only make you look beautiful but to feel comfortable.
The website offers tons of information about the different types of plastic surgery and also includes before and after photographs so that you can get an idea of the quality of work done.
LookingYourBest.com offers a great website that acts as a referral to practicing Plastic Surgeons in your area. You can search by zip code or start from the beginning and look through the alphabet. Not only can you look at the doctor’s profile, you can see his photo gallery of before and after pictures, a map, and even schedule a consult!
This is really the easiest way to do your homework and get an idea of the doctor that’s going to be best for you and your needs.

The best thing to do whenever you have a tough decision is to find out all the information you can. In this case, your tough decision might be on what plastic surgery you should have, and who you should go to in order to get it done. You might not know what procedures are out there, so looking up plastic surgery information online is a good start. Plastic Surgery 101 has a concise list of procedures, details of how procedures are done, who are good candidates, and possible risks of surgery. It provides the most up-to-date resource for plastic surgery procedures in the Los Angeles/Beverly Hills area.
As my dad always says, to tell patients there are no risks is just bad medicine. The site fully informs you of what you might expect before, during and after procedures, and also shows before and after pictures! I used to love seeing the work that my dad did.
There is even information regarding financing options, which is extremely important, given the fact that plastic surgery isn’t cheap, and ordinary folk like myself can’t necessarily pay out of pocket, in cash! My dad started developing relationships with a number of banks to be able to provide financing for his patients, resulting in a boost in clientele. Sounds like good business to me!

Today I met up with my friend Kathy for lunch. Graem was doing fine prior to walking into the restaurant. Then she started acting like weirdo baby. About 10 minutes into our lunch I realized that Graem had gone to one of the tables and was leaning over one of the chairs trying to poop!
As if that wasn’t bad enough…she started saying “NO POO POO IN PANTIES” throughout the whole restaurant. I took her two times to the bathroom but she wouldn’t sit on the toilet. Then finally …. she pooped!
This restaurant didn’t have a changing table so I had to change her on the floor of the bathroom with no wipes. It was quite the tramautizing situation for both Graem and me.
After the monster poop though - she was fine! She went back to the table, sat like a big girl, and ate a good portion of her soup!
I guess if you’ve gotta go….you’ve gotta go!

Year after year we talk about going with another cell phone company and instead we end up renewing with Verizon! This year though, I think we might actually make the change!
We have tried every service out there including: Sprint, Cingular/AT&T, and Verizon. But the one service that we haven’t tried is Nextel. A few years ago Nextel didn’t have a big market share and was really patchy in our area.
However, since they put the new tower up in our area I’m sure that the reception is better than ever! I also really like the Nextel phones that they offer! They currently have a promotion where the Motorola i836 flip phone is free!
That beats the heck out of the competitors who give you a crappy phone for signing a 2 year contract!
Now, I just wonder if they’ll have the i-phone?!?!
