Bird Dog Feed

I finally received my dog feed check in the mail yesterday for taking my sister to buy a new van on December 27th.  They called it Bird Dog Feed, which sounds kind of funny to me. Bo was making fun of me and drew a picture of a dog on the envelope. I guess I'm…

Pardon My Ignorance

I should have done my research, checked my facts and somehow the whole situation made me feel like I'm one of those that smuggled endangered species in their suitcases or pants. Of course I didn't do any of that, in fact I have not left my seat. I simply purchased beads online and patiently waiting…

Saturday Random Photos

The day of the super moon that everyone had been telling me about, the morning was promising that we might have a clear sky Saturday night. I got up early to go to a T-shirt sales from one of the manufacturing companies in Maiden, all T-shirts were selling for $1 to $3 each.  I think…

Catawba Valley Women’s Show

I've attended many events at the Hickory Metro Convention Center before, but not the Women's Show.  Bo gave me a free ticket several weeks back and I went with my second sister today.  I'm still struggling with indoor photography and crawled back to using the green box many times, so this post is a mixed…

Lyra Shines at Hickory Valley Hills Mall

I've never posted an HD video here before, mainly because this free version of WP doesn't allow me to adjust the viewing screen so it's super tiny. Also it might be hard to view if you have a slow internet connection, so most likely I will not load a 1080HD video again in Vimeo. I…

Dock Yard Self Storage Commercial

Finally a commercial of Armor man in action! The action figure is great since they're located right behind Hickory Dickory Dock Family Entertainment. Note: this is not a paid advertisement, I'm just helping to spread the word. Please check out their website for your storage need.

Dock Yard Self Storage Approved by Armor Man

You’ve got to love this guy, the new Armor Man worn by Don Forrest, the General Manager of the Dock Yard Self Storage. He is a tough-guy for a small town superhero, you can visit him in person. 🙂

Happy Cash Flow

I took this picture yesterday evening, not very often that I get to see the sky this red. Happy Cash Flow made me think of one of my friends, her exact word, “Why use your own money when you could use someone else?”  I told her then that I’m not disciplined enough to buy on…

Make the First Move

I came across an interesting idea from Effective Business Communications about job application.  I'm like most people, I would only apply for a job from an advertisement, and would never thought of sending out an unsolicited application letter in fear that the company might think it's a waste of time, and kind of surprised to…

The Hidden Messages in Communication

All communication must involve both a sender and a receiver of messages, simply because you send a message to someone and s/he is not available to receive a message, then sending doesn’t exist. Of course we often think of communication in the form of written or verbal, but communication conveys through actions are also as…

Furniture Shopping

When we first came to America back in the 80s, like most refugee from Laos, we didn’t have a lot, so minimalist lifestyle was not a luxury, but a necessity for us, we learned to live with very few items.  I think that all had changed when we moved to North Carolina, I discovered myself…

MahaNakhon Bangkok’s Tallest Building

When I saw these images, I scratched my head a couple of times, not sure what to think of this new building, and certainly don't expect to see this in Bangkok, Thailand, see for yourself.  This image from their website made me think of 9/11. MahaNakhon is a new 77-story high-rise complex, the construction will…

You Can’t be Great by Yourself

When I heard the phrase ‘You can’t be great by yourself,’ I thought he actually has a point.  He went on and said even the greatest inventor needs expertees to test out his inventions, of course he needs someone that he can trust, the one that won’t steal his ideas.  Right…sounds to me like an…

Antique Finds

Last Saturday my younger sister Sue asked me to go Antique shopping with her.  She has been renting a booth at this Antique place for over 2 months now, and wanted to show me what all she is selling.  I think I’m more interested in seeing if it’s a reasonable place and that her overhead…
