Info About Moving Quotes

ericwfrost — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:42:37 +0000

In the several times I’ve moved in the past decade, I’m always winging it when trying to get a good moving quote to make sure I am not overpaying.

I have had little success with Illinois Moving Companies, the quotes vary tremendously and I’m not sure if the low quotes are actually from reputable companies. One company who moved my wife’s stuff from California to Illinois ended up taking my TV. Well, you will some, you lose some. From the money we saved we probably could have bought a new large flat screen TV, even back then.

If you have any suggestions for our next move, please post a comment. Thanks.

Starcraft II Hacks - sc2hacks.com

I am starting to work on a new site devoted to the game Starcraft II which will be released by Blizzard in 2009. The address of the new site is “sc2hacks.com“, and although there is not much there yet, content will start appearing in the coming weeks and months. As the title suggests, the primary focus of the site will be on hacks, cheats, Easter eggs, etc. but will also take about nifty strategy, spells, and anything cool that may be beyond the scope of the basic strategy. Looking forward to learning and playing the game!

Goldwasser Real Estate

I have a friend is going to move to Austin, Texas, he is looking for some Austin Texas realtors. Since he likes the city so much, he really like to buy a nice house and start a family there. Right now it is a good time to purchase real estate as the mortgage rate is low and there are lots of choices around.

New play group program at 175

Yesterday afternoon I told our nanny to take Lydia to the play group at the 175. It is only half an hour, from 4:00 - 4:30, but the instructor has balls for kids to roll under her instructions, she also plays music and makes the kids to form a circle and dance with the music, it is quite fun to them doing it. Our nanny complains about Lydia does not follow anything, but she is only 11 months, so I think it is important just for her to get out.

Good For Business

I am always very happy to receive a birthday card from my company each year. Since I am a consultant, normally I would work at the clients’ locations, so I have very little communication with the people in my company. It is always nice to get a card from them with every administrator’s signatures on it. It is a good idea to give Business Birthday Cards to employees or to customers to show appreciation. Sometimes it is nice to include a gift card too. Gallerycollection.com has all kinds of cards that you could pick, plus you could print shipping labels from the site too which would be very convenient.

A difficult lunch at Typhoon

Kristine Frost — Thu, 01 May 2008 04:09:56 +0000

I went to lunch with a neighbor today at the Typhoon restaurant underneath the AON building. It was not a good lunch as she is so hard to talk to, plus she just had a big fight with one of her old friends, the person is also my friend too. I feel very difficult in between as she wants to mention the other girl’s name all the time. I have been calling her a few times and she did not even call back once, (maybe once) I know that she is not talking to me on purpose, but this is not right to me and also we know lots of people together in the neighborhood, anyways, I decided not to be friends with her again, or maybe she has never treated me as a friend.

My husband is always interested in grandfather clocks, every time when we go to China, he will be look around for some nice and interesting grandfather clocks. Some of those he got very cheap, and lots of them are not really working. Recently a friend told us that you could get grandfather clocks on line, they have lots of pictures with very detailed descriptions. Their collection is big with different brand, there lots of the grandfather clocks are on sale, some of those are priced 50% off or more. You could also call their customer support for questions and they give professional advices.

Education of my two girls

Kristine Frost — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:31:13 +0000

I have started to think about the education of my two girls, especially after watching the movie “Juno”. To hear the teenagers talking to each other by using the language and to have sex so easy make me feel scared. I want to be friends with my daughters and at the same time I like them to listen to me. Although they are still very young right now, but sometimes I could feel that it is so hard to make Elizabeth listen to me, just for very small things. So if anyone have any good recommendations of how to teach your kids to behave, I would be happy to listen.

April is Autism Awareness Month

Kristine Frost — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:46:05 +0000

I learned autism from a co worker a couple of years ago. She found out her 3 years old was autism at that time, she told me a lot about special school and lots of work to care for her and try to help her get better. The earlier you discovered in the childhood, the better. I have been sponsor her for autism walk in Chicago for a couple of years now. From the walk I found out that there are lots of kids have the disease. And we all need to donate a little of our money to help them to find cure. Firstgiving.com as the best and easiest place to raise money to fight autism online for the important nonprofit causes you care about. Firstgiving has already helped tens of thousands of people raise millions of dollars for thousands of nonprofit organizations. I found that Mike Collins has raised $400 out of $3,500 this year, so let us all help him to reach his goal.

Plane ride home

Kristine Frost — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:14:40 +0000

We had a nice plane ride home from Las Vegas yesterday, both kids and myself were so tired, the kids have slept for more than 2 hours, if Lydia did not try to poke Elizabeth on the plane, I am sure she could sleep longer. This is our first time to fly US Airways and compare to United, it is not as bumpy and the landing was very smooth too. We arrived earlier than our schedule so we had to wait on the run way for 30 minutes.
