Coaxial installation

I know from experience that there can be unending headaches in trying to set up home theater systems, and that only increases when you are trying to set up a system that will be necessary for your home based business.

I have been faced on multiple occassions with a need to connect in coax cables and not having the end adapters I needed for the job, or at times not being able to find the right ones in the stores in my area.

Rather your needs are for a common application or you have a custom need for RCA connectors, F connectors, or BNC connectors then you can find the connectors to suit your needs at Compression connector.

The FS6U compression connector will fit any RG6 or RG6 quad shielded cable. Which is the type of coaxial cable that is most often used residential and commercial applications. Compression connections also carries tools and color rings.

Check out the Compression connection website at the link above for more information on the kinds of compression connections they carry.

Can not see to work

It is annoyingly difficult to work on websites without glasses. I need to get a new pair of glasses even if I go to the second hand store and try on one set after another until I find one that works reasonably well. I hate to do that, since it really messes with the eyesight from what I understand. Each lens should be attuned to the eye it is for from what I understand, so by wearing a prescription that is not mine I am probably doing more harm than good. Trouble is, I can't afford an eye exam. The place in town where my dad for his eye exam quoted me $275 the other day - just for the exam. Although they did say they would take payments, that is still way out of my price range.

Web Hosting Geeks

I am a do-it-yourself kind of person, so getting the website for my new business up and going is something that I am going to do all on my own - using my own hosting service that I maintain, however, not everyone has their own hosting capability, nor do you need one for running a business, which is where sites such as Web Hosting Geeks comes in.

Second Saturday Market is another bust before it was even a go

Okay, here it is, Saturday, the day before Mother's Day, the day when I should have had my best sale of the year on quilts and I am sitting at home with dad rather than being able to get up to the Saturday Market that I had planned to be able to be in my second week of selling quilts at.

To say that I am annoyed would be an understatement, since it is pure family politics crap that has curtailed things. It has also given me and dad a renewed determination to prove people wrong in their estimation of my goals. I want to make quilts to help me in paying off the mortgage on my parents house, a effort that I have been told is nothing but a fanciful daydream that is doomed to leave me disappointed in the form of my losing the house one day (soon according to those saying I can't save it).

My mom taught me that you don't give up when you see something that you really want, however, and I am not about to give up on this house.

Mom encouraged my writing over the years, and she was immensely proud of the ability I had developed to earn money by writing online. She taught me that anything worth doing is worth doing right, and that any dream was within reach if only I wanted to reach for it. I'm going to reach for this house, and I intend to grasp it with both hands and hold fast. The naysayers be damned.

So, since with nothing more than an ATV as transportation I can not haul dad up to the park in Houston at 8am every Saturday, and keep him there until after 9pm, I have decided that I am going to bypass the local Saturday Market angle and sort out other avenues for selling my quilts. I'm not sure what all I am going to do, yet, but I have the determination and drive to make this happen. Let's see if that is enough.

Holsted Jewelers fashion jewelry sets

There are times when, as a self employed person, you need to look your best for clients. Times when it is nice to be able to afford quality fashion jewelery sets that allow you to create the perfect matched set just for your style. Holsted Jewelers would like to invite you to stop by their website and see how their wide selection of fashion jewelery can help you achieve a custom look without spending a fortune.

Holsted Jewelers have crafted fashion jewelry sets that are not available in any retail store, offering their customers ’set savings’ deals that allow added savings when customers buy more.

Holsted Jewelers has been providing their customers with quality fashionable jewelery for over 37 years, so I would encourage you to stop by and take a closer look at what they have.

Missed Saturday Market

Some days you just need to know when to cut your losses and say to hell with this idea. That is today. It is currently 8:30............

Scratch that, it was 8:30 in the morning when I started this post. Is now almost midnight and I did not go to the Saturday Market today. Very long story, family politics type that I'm not getting into, but turned out that going to a Saturday Market was the least of my concerns for the day.

So, first effort to get my new business started has failed to manifest, pushed aside by family stuff that will take a while to sort out.

First Saturday Market looms

Tomorrow is my first Saturday Market and I am so far from being ready it is not even funny. To make matters worse, the water heater won't work, I'm going to have to sort that out in addition to getting everything else ready tonight. ::pounds head on desk::

The past couple of days were messed up and I lost at least one full day because of that chaotic disaster, but I won't say anything about it all here. This is about my business, so I'll keep to the topic. One SNAFU is that night before last I busted my glasses riding back home on my ATV after delivering medications for my dad to my sister's place. Dark trail, fogged 12 year old glasses, loose lens... and a rock. I found 2 small pieces of the lens. Be a while before I'll be able to afford new glasses.

Tomorrow should be interesting without glasses to see what I'm doing. At least I can see things that are close up, if I squint a lot.

Tonight I need to get together samples of my quilting (having fun finding that without being able to see), my quilting books so people can have idea sources, print up some contracts and quilt design pages, print some business cards, print "Display only, not for sale" cards for the things I take as samples... and I am not sure what all else. Thankfully the stuff is mostly made up on computer and just needs printed. Don't wanna squint at computer screen making things.

Might, if I have time, make some trifolds that people can take, dunno yet.

My plan for tomorrow is basically show what I have (but won't sell cause they're already spoken for) and see if anyone's interested in ordering things. I have a few things to sell, but am mainly on a mission to see if my plan for a "You design it, I'll build it" quilting business would work or not, so all I really need is things to show what my craftsmanship is like and some stuff for folks to use for enlisting my services to make them a quilt.

Might take some of my handbound books and stuff I've made from Polymer clay along, dunno yet though. I'll have to take it all on my ATV, since car I had been gonna use ain't here no more (long story).

Need to get back to work now, will post info on what happened when I get home tomorrow.

Almost forgot.... I can't get ahold of my sister - I have no idea if I have anyone to take care of dad while I'm at the Saturday Market or not. Her husband made it sound last night like they weren't going to be able to take him, even though she'd said a week and a half ago it was a given they take him all Saturdays this summer. :::pounds head on desk:::
