We had a good July (knock on wood) and have seen some improvements on performance on a few of the satellite sites that hadn’t been performing as well as we had hoped in the past. In fact, we have reached the stage where the decision has been made that come next January, Nate will also [...]
For anyone that has medical conditions that require prescription drugs, you know that they can take a large amount out of your budget. What a lot of people don’t realize is that there are a number of ways to save that they may not have ever considered when it comes to prescription drugs. The fact [...]
I’ve made a couple of entries about a company that will pay you to receive letters. I received my latest notice a couple of days ago saying that the program will begin next month: On Monday, 31 July, the first test letters will be dispatched to you!
