Use Common Sense

When something sounds to good to be true...it is to good to be true! I'm sitting in Starbucks and across from me is a sales rep for ACN pitching a guy on a pyramid scheme. Has all the right words, but isn't backing anything up. If you tell me that ACN is the only company the Donald Trump as endorsed. I would want proof. You can't just feed me lines and not give me meat.

Are you going to get rich? Yeah, if you can sell this crap phone to people and get people to buy into selling it with you. You can't go through life looking for the easy money. You'll never find it and be able to sleep with yourself. Or maybe I'm wrong and you can.

I'm going to wait and see if it cost this dude any money to join.

1Password

Great utility for the Mac. Keeps all your personal information, credit cards, address, logins in one place. I don't know what would do with out it. One downside: you forget your passwords. If you aren't near your phone (since they have an iPhone App) or your computer you're tough out of luck in remembering the password.

Alberson's Closed

A couple months ago and bought a bucket of chicken strips and potato wedges from Albertson's for $8, or something close to that. It was a huge bucket and totally worth the price. Early this week I was craving that bucket and price. I headed off the Albertson's. Come to find out it is all closed down and the merchandise pulled off the shelves. Weird. Went to another and found the same.

I never got my bucket of chicken strips and I know had a desire to find out why all the Albertson's were closed down. I couldn't find anything online about. Other then Albertson's in Arizona and five or six other states are owned by Albertson's (the big store chain). They are owned and operated by a smaller company out of Boise, Albertson's Marketplace. I know I'm weird, but I emailed Albertson's to find out why the stores were closed.

I also went to two Fry's, but they already had their chicken strips pulled for the day. I settled with KFC and I'll never do that again. Their strips suck (sorry, there was no better word).
