We were in business years ago and had our own store. There are a lot of things to purchase for a business. If any of you are self-employed and have your own business, then you know what I mean. If you are looking for small business phone systems, then you might want to check out Neobits. Their customers say they are fast, courteous, and professional.

If you sit at a computer or desk area very long, then you know how important it is to have a comfortable chair that supports your back. OF Concepts has some really great buys on leather office chairs, and they are offering free shipping which is a great plus! They have a tremendous selection of quality office chairs at a super value. We shopped around for an office chair for my husband for Christmas, so I know these are great prices.

I’m thankful to family and relatives who help me with all my computer ventures. They set up the computer for me, one in particular help me set up my blog, and if I have any problems then there’s always one of them to fix it for me. Yesterday, my husband helped me position all the cords better. That was great! I don’t know the difference between CAT5e cables and other cords or what needs to be plugged in where.  So I’m very thankful for all the help I get!  I’m learning as I go, so as time goes on I plan to learn more and more.  But in the meantime…I want to say thank you to all of you who have helped me!

Most families nowadays have so many things that use a lithium battery. Cameras and camcorders use them, and I think it’s always good to have a backup battery in case a battery runs out of power during a “Kodak moment.” If you’re needing a new battery, East Coast Photo has a newly revised “Battery Finder” where you can search for the battery you need, an expanded on-line catalog where you can also find new and innovative tools, and they have knowledgeable staff and competitive pricing.

HDMI splitters, HDMI switches, adapters, couplers, “HDMI to HDMI,” and “HDMI to DVI” are products a lot of computer techs know about. I’m sure my husband and our son-in-law know what they are, too. But I don’t know anything about them. That’s why it’s so nice to have relatives who know so much about computers. I actually have three relatives who I see often or on a regular basis that help me with anything I need done on the computer. And that’s really nice since I’m on the computer every day. By the way, if you are needing any of the products mentioned above, then you might want to check out Firefold whose top priority is customer service.

Vat 19 has “curiously awesome” products that you don’t find just anywhere. They sent me some samples of a few of their products. One product called Insta Snow Powder, my favorite, is pretty cool. All you have to do is add water and this white powder expands and really looks like snow. Kids of any age would love it! I also received an Ambient Fire Video Fireplace DVD . It makes your TV screen look like a fire burning in a fireplace. That’s neat for those who don’t have fireplaces. The third thing I received was a scented pencil which smells like cotton candy.

If you would like a “space efficient electronics charging valet” that is an electronics charger station which neatly hides cords for charging adapters, then check out Vat 19. It will hold three adapters and charge them while concealing all the cords in a neat little station. It also has a surge protector and a little drawer to hold small items.

My doctor is a wonderful doctor. She used to be five minutes away from my house, but she moved to a new office and is now twenty-five minutes away. She’s such a great doctor, though, that it’s worth the longer drive. When she moved to the new medical office, all three doctors updated their medical records to computer software. When I go for an appointment, she has a computer in the examining room and pulls up my records on the computer. It’s all so organized! I’m not sure exactly what software she uses, but she uses some type of practice management software.

VirMedice is a leading EMR software consultant for electronic medical health records management. They help physicians convert from a paper records management system to the latest in EMR electronic health records keeping, just like my doctor did. All medical records and reports are at the doctor’s fingertips, organized and easy to access. And what I really like is that it increases security of patient information.

Everyone has to deal with finances, personal and maybe on the job. That’s part of life, a part that can get old from time to time. Everyone has their own way of handling finances and budgeting, but sometimes they might need some budgeting software. I have three friends who work in accounting, and my dad used to be an accountant. That is tedious work and far from being a school teacher like I have been. I think if I were an accountant, I would want all the software I could get to make the job easier!
