Happy ThanksgivingPosted on: 2007-11-21I thank you for all your support, love, and friendship. Thank you for your business. Thank you for your prayers.
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Who's Been Looking at YOUR Credit?Posted on: 2007-04-11Few people realize that each time their credit is checked, information provided to the credit bureaus immediately becomes a commodity that is sold to companies that sell and resell it. You may be surprised to know that the practice of generating and selling these lists IS allowed by law.
Credit bureaus have found a way to increase their revenues without your permission. These “inquiry leads” include name, address, phone numbers (including unlisted), credit score, current debt, debt history, property information, age, gender and estimated income. Your privacy is sold over and over again.
The good news is that you can make it stop. You can “opt out” or remove your name by phone at (888) 567-8688 or online at www.optoutprescreen.com. You must opt out at least 48 hours PRIOR to having your credit checked to make sure it is processed in time. You can choose a five year or lifetime option. Lifetime option requires a signature.

Safety VideoPosted on: 2007-04-11Here is a quick 3-minute video sent to me by a friend that was prepared as another way to remind us to watch out for ourselves, here is a Public Service Announcement prepared by a local Sheriff’s Office. Not all of us carry purses or briefcases, but we know people who do. Please pass this on. Some of you may not live in Florida, but it is just a matter of time till the criminals hit your part of the country. You may want to send this to all your family and friends… Be Safe! -
