My Business Partner Changed Office Supply Companies

Posted by Dean on November 30th, 2009

My business partner has always told me that we should constantly be looking for cheaper supply companies. He has changed our insurance company three times in the past two years because he found us a better rate. He has also found us a cheaper office supplies company that gets us everything we need for half the price of what we used to pay.

I will never forget about four years ago when he found a website that sold discount office supplies and he started to compare each item that we ordered from our old company and was looking at prices from each of them. He determined that we could save fifty percent by going with the online discount office supplies company and dropping our current supplier. It just so happened that our current supplier was a company that was located directly across the street from us. They had been selling office supply products for more than fifty years and were owned by some good friends of my parents.

I was the one to go over and let them know that it was not personal but we would not need their services anymore. I explained that the online company’s prices for office supplies were too low to not switch to them. They understood and went out of business about six months later.

My Daughter Designed Funny T Shirts for Her Bowling Team

Posted by Dean on November 24th, 2009

My daughter was looking at buying funny shirts for her entire bowling team to wear to a competition. She just thought that if they had on matching funny t shirts, it would be fun.

I pointed her to some of the websites where I had seen many different funny shirts before. I told her that some of the sites even let you design your own funny shirts. She was not sure that she would be able to come up with something witty enough. I told her to just think about something that someone says on the team that is funny, slap it on the shirt and presto, you have your funny t shirts.

She did exactly that and all of the bowling girls loved wearing their funny shirts to the competition. I think that a lot of the other teams said that they would love to design their own funny t shirts to wear next year at the competition. My daughter gave them the name of the website that she used, and they all wrote it down. They are all excited to see who comes up with the most unique funny t shirts next year.

I of course, think that my daughter will once again design something cool and creative like she did this year, and knock their socks off.

We Needed More Life Insurance

Posted by Dean on November 23rd, 2009

My husband decided one day that we needed to get more life insurance. We had gotten some no medical exam life insurance when we first got married but now that we had two kids, he thought that we needed more coverage in case something happened to us, he wanted the kids future to be taken care of. I told him that I would call our current company and see about getting some life insurance quotes. He told me that he was going to check out some companies online for life insurance quotes.

We would up with five different no medical exam life insurance quotes and immediately threw two of them away because of their really high rates. I knew that we wanted to get as much as we could, for the least amount of money.

We laid the life insurance quotes all side by side on the table and compared the numbers and the conditions of the policies. It did not take us very long to choose the best one for us. I had not been the one to think of getting more life insurance but after signing up with the new policy, I felt like it was the right thing to do.

My Sister And I Ordered Funny T Shirts

Posted by Dean on November 20th, 2009

My sister called me last week to ask me what size of t shirt she should get for my kids. It seems that she has found a really cool website that has lots of different styles of funny t shirts. She said that they have a huge variety and she found several that would fit each of my kids. I told her each of the kids sizes and then asked her to give me the address of the site so that I could check it out too.

I enjoyed sitting and looking over the site and all the funny shirts. I sent my sister an email and asked her to let me know which ones she had gotten for my kids, just in case I decided to get them each one myself. I think they would love having them, and she was right about the site having different designs to fit each kid.

After my sister placed her order for her funny t shirts, I then ordered funny shirts for the kids and myself for Christmas. I made sure to get different designs and colors than my sister so that they had very different styles. The funny t shirts that I got for myself had some funny phrases from some popular television shows on them. The funny shirts that were for the kids had some phrases about school, sports and siblings on them.
