A vacation condo to use and rent out?

by

I was just cruising on the internet, dreaming of having a vacation home someday and I came across Cave Creek Real Estate. It’s a condo development in Arizona’s Sonora Desert and it looks like it’s going to be just lovely when it’s finished. It boosts glorious mountain views and if you like golf there are some great golf clubs just minutes away. It would be nice to get a condo like this to use as a vacation home, and perhaps to rent out for the rest of the year to travelers or business people.

I think I’ll go day dream some more …






Shop at my store?

by

I don’t know if my visitors have noticed, but about a month ago I placed a link to my new Amazon store in the side bar on the right. It’s labeled- Gifts, Gadgets, Books and More!. I was hoping that my visitors might click on the link every now and then when you are in the mood to shop online.

You’d be helping me out a lot if you would make a purchase at my Amazon store. I mean, only if you were going to shop at Amazon anyway of course. As of Monday I’ll have been off work due to illness for one year. I still have a job of course. I’m an emergency room nurse, but I’ve been sick for so long that I’m not receiving any sick pay or any kind of money any more. So you’d be helping me out a great deal if you would make a purchase through Amazon as I get a small commission on any items sold through my links.

Oh I also have a link a little bit below that for Amazon Gift Certificates. If you have trouble buying the perfect gift for your friends, relatives or loved ones then a gift certificate where they might by any item of their choice might be ideal.

Thank you in advance if you are so kind as to help me out by buying a gift or something for the holidays through my Amazon store link.

Do you talk to other gardeners in Chat rooms?

by

I was just wondering how many of you have discovered Gardenweb.com? I found the site back in 2001 when I was doing research on how we could landscape our backyard, and put in raised beds to create the garden that we have now.

In that first year, to year and a half period I spent a lot of time in the various forums trying to figure out how to do things, and what plants would work for my garden and garden location. I think it was the rose forum that I hung out in most often.

I just found another type of chatroom over at pictari.com where you could meet up with people, perhaps ones that you’ve talked to often over on gardenweb and chat in real time mode. It’s easy to use- just register or sign in and create a profile and then go into the chat areas.

That’s the one thing that I find lacking over at gardenweb. They don’t have any chat rooms for gardeners to get together and talk.

Have any of you found garden related chat rooms on the internet? If you have please leave me a comment and tell me about them.
