Need Help With Anything Around Your House? Think Military

When I needed to move from one house to another, I went to a wonderful website where I was able to hire military men or women who were looking for a part-time job. It was a wonderful experience and I've highly recommended this website to many others.

I posted an ad that stated that I needed help moving furniture and boxes. I stated what I was willing to pay and when I needed the help. My phone started ringing off the hook. I interviewed several and I hired 4 wonderful young men. They all had already been to Iraq and back.

These young men loaded the truck, drove to the new house, and unloaded the truck, putting everything together and where I wanted it. All in under 4 hours. I never had such a smooth move!

I fed them pizza and soda. Yea I know, but I didn't know how old they were.

You can inquire about all types of trades and experiences. The website appears to be available in almost every state for both full time and part-time jobs.

Please, next time you need a job done around your house, think HirePatroits.com.
Go to http://www.hirepatriots.com/ You won't be sorry!

Update All Your Phone Numbers or They Will Stop Working.

 

 

California 760 / 442 Area Code Split Information

To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the 442 area code will be added to the area served by 760. Get ready to change the way you place your calls!

• Who Will be Affected?
• What is an Area Code Overlay?
• What Will be the New Calling Procedure?
• When Will the Change Begin?
• What Will I Need to Do?
• What Will Remain the Same?
• Map of the Affected Area

Who Will be Affected?

All customers with a 760 number will have to change the way they place a call. The new 442 area code will serve customers in the same geographic region as the current 760 area code, which extends from Bridgeport in the north, south to the Mexican border, Camp Pendleton on the west, and east to the state line.

What is an Area Code Overlay?

An overlay is the addition of another area code (442) to the same geographic region as an existing area code (760). An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code or phone number.

 

What Will be the New Calling Procedure?

To complete calls from a landline phone, the new procedure requires callers to enter 1 + area code + telephone number. This means that all calls in the 760 area code that currently use seven digits will need to be placed using 1+ area code + telephone number. To complete calls from a cellular or mobile phone, callers may enter the area code + telephone number or 1 + area code + telephone number whenever placing a call to a phone number with the 760 or 442 area code.

When Will the Change Begin?

Beginning May 2, 2009, you should begin using the new procedure whenever you place a call from the 760 area code. If you forget and use the old procedure of using just seven digits, your call will still be completed.

Beginning October 24, 2009, you must use the new procedure for all calls. If you do not use the new procedure, your call will not be completed, and a recording will instruct you to hang up and call again.

Beginning November 21, 2009, new telephone lines or services may be assigned numbers with the 442 area code.

What Will I Need to Do?

In addition to changing your calling procedure, all services, automatic calling equipment, or other types of equipment that are programmed with a 7-digit telephone number will need to be reprogrammed to use the new calling procedure. Some examples are life safety systems, fax machines, Internet phone numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed callers, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions. Be sure to check your business stationery, advertising materials, personal checks, and your personal or pet ID tags to ensure the area code is included.

What Will Remain the Same?

• Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change.
• The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.
• What is a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits entered.
• You can still enter just three digits to reach 911, as well as 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 and 811

Map does not include all communities in the 760/442 area codes.

Why Can’t a Woman Get Good Customer Service?

I went to buy a new Toyota this week.  What an ordeal…

I have already gone to the credit union and have my loan in place.

I’ve researched the prices, accessories and was ready, willing and able to purchase a vehicle now.

1. Went to dealer ship and walked the entire lot.

2 I opened doors and was sitting in several auto’s.

3. Looked at the Prius and the Camry Hybrid.

4. Waited and waited and waited for someone to come and offer to help me purchase an auto.

5. I finally walked into the showroom. Two guys laid back sitting at the desk shooting the breeze, “Can I help you?”  “Well, yes. I’m here to buy a car.”  “Oh, I’ll find someone to help you.”

6. Told him which one I wanted and the only extra I wanted was the Bluetooth capability.

7. He brings me over the full price invoice for me to sign….. “Woo, we haven’t talked price yet” I said. Shocked, he tells me that with the government rebate Cash for Clunkers, the dealers no longer have to make deals!

8. Well, I’ve researched the price on the internet and I’m willing to pay $24,000.

9. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. (I had already told him, I wasn’t going to play that game.)  We finally came to an agreement and shook hands on it.

10. Gathering all the booklets and keys to give to me. He comes back with, Oh, Barbara, that rebate is for the 2009 not the 2010. Let me see if I have a 2009. 

11.  He had a black one. I don’t want a black car!

12. I left the dealer ship and told him I might be back when they are willing to deal.

Where has customer service gone? I can't believe that a company would let a buyer who was perfectly ready and willing to buy walk out without a contract.

This same kind of thing happens to me when I go alone to electronic, computer, appliance stores & restaurants. When I take a male with me it is always different story. 

I would think that a store that caters to women would  be very welcome and would be a gold mine. I know I’m not alone in my frustration!!
