I got home from my trip to Las Vegas , Sunday night. I am so exhausted from the week. It was fun though. I attended the ASD/AMD trade show while I was there. Picked up a a lot of great contacts. This show was huge. The largest I have ever seen. Because I had my mom with me and she wasn't feeling the best I only got to go for a few hours each day. I really wish I could have covered more ground at the trade show. Before I knew it the week was up and it was time to go home. We stayed at a time share that was nice and away from the strip and congestion of Vegas, You sure wouldn't know the economy was in such crisis. There were people everywhere there and the traffic on the strip was slow moving. The gambling wasn't very good and seemed liked the machines were tight. I was disappointed in that. The weather was gorgeous most days between 80-90 degrees. It was nice to wear summer clothes and be away from all the rain. Of course On Sunday while traveling home we ran into rain and came home to rain. I already miss those nice warm days. My niece was there for her birthday so we got to see her. She picked a nice restaurant called Lawry's. The food was pricey but it was excellent and judging from the crowd they do a pretty good business there. All in all it was a great trip with no problems. I didn't have Internet access so I never once opened up my laptop. It was kind of a nice break from the computer. I have to admit I did miss it a little. I did check email on my phone and responded to questions and sales. I also never once turned on the TV. It's like being in a whole different zone in that town. Feels like the twilight zone! Where time just flies by and you are mesmerized by all the neon lights , signs and hustle and bustle. I did a lot of walking more than I probably had done all last year. I had to mail out all the items that sold while I was away today. It is always hard playing catch up when you get home after being gone for a week. Anyhow all packages were mailed today and hopefully I will get back to work and start listing some of the new things I found while I was away.

Happy March! Here is a word of warning to you!

I can't believe it's March already. I am still sick but finally starting to feel a little better. I wanted to share this with you all. My husband bought something online from a parts company. A couple of weeks later he got his credit statement and there was a unknown charge on the bill. After further checking it was a charge for diet pills. Which neither him nor I bought. When we called to check on it , turns out it was a online purchase. They said it was off another purchase he made where they automatically check a box to send you a monthly subscription to diet pills, Well apparently he didn't see it and so they billed him for these pills. This should be illegal!!!! Sneaking things on you like that. So a word of warning when you buy from places online make sure and check to see that they have not checked any boxes that make automatically billed for something you don't want or didn't order. We got the charge removed but what about all the people who don't check their statements or didn't notice. It was a hassle and hopefully it will be stopped , no way to know for sure until we get the next bill. We have never had anything like that happen before. Anyhow be careful out there and make sure to check your statements!
