Just a quick note - I currently have about six gmail accounts and was wondering if anyone wanted one. If this is something you’ve been trying to get or are simply curious on what gmail is all about, please post a comment with your Full Name, valid email address, what you like or don’t like about this website, and why you want a gmail account.
Your post doesn’t have to be anything large. Just give me the basics and I’ll send you an invitation right away.
I eat out way to much (as my wife will attest too). It’s not that I want to, it’s simply out of (1) laziness to make my lunch the night before and (2) desire to not wait more than 1-3 minutes to begin eating my food from when I realized my hunger.
On top of being incredibly expensive over even a weeks time, it’s also not at all good for the body you’re trying to keep alive.
Some restaurants understand my problem and provide healthy alternatives that (although still not the best) are better than other companies out there.
One of these healthier companies is Rubyjuice, located in downtown Holland about 2 building doors from my office. The whole purpose of the company is to offer a healthier alternative. Their main focus is on fruits and smoothies but they also offered a great display of fresh-rolled wraps.
I could eat these and feel good about what I ate and have the energy to finish out my day. This day however - something completely different happened when I walked into their store.
I’m sorry sir, we don’t sell wraps anymore. They just weren’t profitable enough to continue selling them at our store.
“You what??? - I know for a fact that I personally support on average $20.00 a week to the purchasing of your wraps and a few more bucks on all those fancy little drinks you serve up.”
This is what I should have said but what really happened was a shocking “deer-caught-in-headlights” reaction. I didn’t know what to do. My routine was to walk into their doors, grab the wrap I wanted and walk out happy that I was thinking about my health. This person’s words completely broke that routine and my next steps were completely unplanned and becoming obviously unknown by everyone in the place looking at me.
The store manager said - “I’m sorry sir”, which seems to wake me out of my deer-in-headlights like manner. I shruggingly didn’t know what to do so I just looked around me and said, “Oh, ummm, ok - thanks anyways” and walked back out the door trying to think about what just went on and wondering if I was going to eat that day all - Totally un-reminded by the many other restaurants I was walking past while thinking these thoughts.
Long story short - I ended up eating at my old watering hole - Subs-N-More. I simply got a steak sub because that’s what I always ordered there. The rest of my lunch was left sitting in a trance like stat just thinking, “MAN - I just can’t believe this just happened.”

I’ll talk much more on this later but, last week Elevator Up L.L.C. got a call from the City of Holland saying that City Council has approved my proposal for redeveloping their website and would like to move forward as soon as possible.
Elevator Up will be working side-by-side with the City of Holland to develop a site architecture, content strategy, new design, employee training, better site usability, accessability in compliance with Section 508, and CMS deployment.
This is increadibly exciting for me and I’m excited to move forward.
Internet Voice, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.
Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers.
Also, while some services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone through an adaptor.
