Is MN Still “Home”?

By Brooke Long | June 19, 2013

The plans have been started for our trip back to MN. By the time we go it will have been a year. I can’t believe that a whole year has gone by.

This year has been filled with so many different emotions…
Sadness
Excitedness
Worry
Concern
Happyness
Curiosity
Anger
Thrill

I could go on. When it comes down to it we have loved being in SC. And that is hard to admit. Admit to all of those that we love that we left behind. They are all such wonderful people. Friends and family that mean everything to us.

I am excited to see them all again – but I can’t shake this feeling. Knowing that I will most likely not “fit” anymore. Everyone’s lives went on – as did mine. But our lives did not go on together.

I am thinking that I will find that MN is not “home” anymore. And that makes me sad.

But the excitement of seeing good friends and loved ones is overwhelming right now!

Monday Morning Musings for Work at Homers – No Sound Support

By Joe Hauckes | June 17, 2013

Monday has always been a little bit of a let down, what with it being the beginning of the work week and all.

So to start things out on a bright note for the week, I bring you the…

Monday Morning Musings for Work at Homers…

No Sound Support

I recently purchased a new PC from one of the major computer manufacturers. I placed my order via the web but asked for them to call me for my credit card information.

So, after a couple days of phone tag, I got in touch with the saleswoman handling my account. I was thinking I’d just give her my credit card number and be on my way.

Almost.

Saleswoman: “Do you realize that the modem you’ve chosen doesn’t have sound support?”

Customer: “What exactly does a ‘modem with no sound support’ mean?”

Saleswoman: “It means that if you go to a web page that has a movie or sound file, you won’t be able to hear it.”

Customer: “What does the modem have to do with that?”

Saleswoman: “Well, sir, the modem is what connects your computer to the Internet.”

Customer: “So, you’re telling me that this particular modem scans the TCP/IP packets passing through it for those belonging to any sound application and filters them out?”

Saleswoman: “Yes.”

Customer: “How does it accomplish this feat?”

Saleswoman: “I’m not technical enough to answer that. Please hold.”

I stayed on hold for five minutes and hung up.

Hope that put a smile on your face and brightened the start of the work week just a bit.

This is an ongoing series of interesting and helpful reads that I have come across on the Internet. I try to include the most helpful articles and links each week to provide the widest range of information for the home business entrepreneur.

Simple Sentiment Analysis for Small Business by rosemary… Are you relying solely on Google Alerts to find out what your customers are talking about? Maybe you took it one step further and set up a Hootsuite column to track Twitter mentions. What are you doing with that information as it accumulates?

I hope you find some of these articles informational and helpful. I think they will be enjoyable reading nonetheless.
