We even told her a few months ago she could take the day off and go to Disneyland, she looked at my wife and I and said “but I cannot miss practice”. What kid doesn’t want to go to Disneyland for the day? Well, I’m going to tell you what type of kid.

My daughter is super competitive, the kind of kid you see racing every set in practice just so she can beat everyone in her group. The kind of kid that when she gets out of practice she asks her mother which kids cheated during practice. (pulling on lane lines) She has been moved up in the past few months several times into different swim groups, each time quickly moving towards the top of the group she moves too. I’m wouldn’t say my daughter is the fastest swimmer, because she is not. There are kids that have been swimming for 3-4 times as long but that’s not the point of this blog post.

At 8 years old she is so dedicated to her sport, such dedication that you rarely find in adults nowadays let alone an 8 year old. She has goals already set, she tells my wife and I she wants to go to JO’s (Junior Olympics) just like my wife did when she was young. I have no doubt within the next year or so she can reach that goal.

Some markets have stayed strong, the high end buyers looking for Beverly Hills or Palm Springs real estate are effected by the US mortgage mess. Most of these higher end buyers have significant amount of cash as a down payment and usually have outstanding credit scores. The area hot the hardest are the middle class and lower income areas. Most of these areas people got into the cheapest loan and are now paying high payments, if they can even make the payments.

Even though I see more real estate professionals out and about I still think we are in for another 6-8 months at least of dealing with declining sales and the mortgage mess. I wish I was wrong as numerous websites we own are in the real estate mortgage industry.

Sub domains are not separate websites they are just pages or different categories to a website. There is no reason for any search engine to show more than two per results page. You would think with all the money Microsoft has they would hire smart people to run their search division.

We got in on Monday and our rooms where at the Palms. Last year I stayed at the Venetian and I like it there except when you are drunk off your ass trying to find your way back to your suite is a pain. So the Palms wasn’t bad, the rooms aren’t great but I didn’t really spend that much time there anyway. Monday night we watched the crazy football game and played a little poker.

Tuesday we woke up early went over to the conference location and took in the keynote by Craig Newmark. Craig is an interesting person but not a very dynamic speaker, before he was done half the room had cleared out. After this we caught a few sessions about social media marketing then blew off the conference the rest of the day. We went and played poker for the afternoon and rested ourselves for a night of parties.

We meet up with Jeremy and Dave and hung out with the Rubicon people in their suite before going over to Pure Nightclub. Nicole and the people at Rubicon know how to put on a party. We were treated like VIP’s, there was a huge line outside the nightclub and we didn’t have to wait. Once inside we had a section set aside for us to hang out, drink and dance. By far the best private event at Pubcon 2007!

Wednesday we went to a few sessions and then… poker, drinking and more socializing. I meet some interesting people on Wednesday a few of the most interesting where Dick Masterson (this guys always on Dr. Phil) and the I Can Has Cheezburger? guys. The BOTW guys (Brian & Greg) of course were there and seemed to have their own craps game going on. I ended up going back to my room around 3:30 AM and it’s good I did. I heard that Dave had to give the cab driver some extra money when Andrew puked all over the cab ride back.

Thursday was chill… woke up did a few sessions then went and played more poker. That night we played in the Purpose Inc’s poker tournament. (some money went to charity) This was a fun event a few of my buddies did well, I was knocked out in # 17 place. After this a handful of us hung out at a club to the wee hours of the morning.

I know he has one of those T-mobile plans so I went in search for a t-mobile phone. I found one on the Internet that offered the Sidekick, Blackberry and all the other popular models. I called there customer service department to ensure I would receive it before the big holiday and they lady on the phone said I would get it in 2-3 business days. This was great news for me, no need to drive to a T-mobile store and waste my time. They even had a deal that saved me some money so I bought two cell phone accessories to go with the new phone.

I had to explain to her just because she never heard of Duran Duran before doesn’t make them a new band. I explained to her that Duran Duran has been around for more than 28 years. (yeah it’s been at least that long) I then dated myself when I told her I use to have them on record. She was like “what’s a record?” so I had to go into the long explanation and described to her what a record was. She really couldn’t believe we use to listen to music on these over size discs. Now I feel even older… thanks Lexy.

If you look in the right places you can often get 0% APR credit cards or even go through a professional company that can do the credit card consolidation thing. Companies that offer the 0% APR are Discover Card, Capital One, Washing Mutual and Chase. It’s important no matter what route you go you ensure to fully understand the conditions and what will happen. On most of the 0% APR credit card offers if you happen to miss or are late on a payment the 0% APR goes away. The credit card debt reduction companies all have rules they must go by as well so it’s important to look into them.

The federal government has some great tips on how to protect yourself.
Be wary of credit counseling organizations that:

-charge high up-front or monthly fees for enrolling in credit counseling or a DMP.

-pressure you to make “voluntary contributions,” another name for fees.

-won’t send you free information about the services they provide without requiring you to provide personal financial information, such as credit card account numbers, and balances.

-try to enroll you in a DMP without spending time reviewing your financial situation.

-offer to enroll you in a DMP without teaching you budgeting and money management skills.

-demand that you make payments into a DMP before your creditors have accepted you into the program

I have really good credit, it wasn’t always that way but now on the rare occasion I apply for a credit card I not only get the cards but I get a huge limit to go with them. Some cards of mine have a high enough limit to go out and purchase a car on them. I have good discipline and almost always pay off my cards when the statements come every month. Anyway, I’m now going to start contacting the companies that keep sending me the junk mail so they can stop. I read some credit card articles that mention this works well with most of the companies and should stop most of the junk mail. It’s also my small way of going green, less paper sent to me has to be a tree saved some where, maybe.
