Oh yes, I want to go to Orlando, visit the Disney World, Universal Studios Sea World, or the Discovery Cove.  I know SD and her BF are dreaming of going to Orlando, too.  Nadine and Mark are still coaxing DB and I to make a trip to Orlando with them.  It would be nice if we are are able to go as a group because Orlando.com offers group hotel bookings at affordable prices.   It has an extensive choice of hotels, car rentals and flights.  I know DB is not a fan of Disney, well, SD and I told him he has to think about it as we will be going as a family!  How about that, a family vacation.  Moreover, with Orlando.com, it has a wide range of travel arrangements and entertainment if he is not into Disney.  I am sure there are travel guides on hand to show us the wonderful oceanfronts with amenities like restaurants, broadwalks, or maybe places where he and BF can go fishing.  Oppss, and I forgot to buy a Powerball ticket today

Being addicted to drugs whether it is legal or illegal is a disease.  When I was attending the Alanon meetings 3 years ago, I found out about many people can be addicted to narcotics.  I was so naive on this subject matter.  Breaking a drug addiction is difficult, but not impossible.  Families of drug addicts need to give these individuals support and should consider checking them into drug rehabilitation centers.  The objective of the Rehab centers is to put the patients in a detoxification therapy as quickly and safely as possible. In addition, they also help the patients to figure out the problem as to why they are addicted to narcotics.

My company has a compensation group to deal with the entire corporation’s compensation.  I think the corporation will not audit the strategic business units by the OFCCP (Office of the Federal Contract Compliance Programs) that often if we have use Halogen eCompensation’s pay for performance.  This product is a web-base solution that will make things easier and restructure the compensation for the organization.  It is easy to use with tools to assign merit-base compensation, bonus pay, stock options, to name a few.  Now, this is what I call efficiency!

DB’s friend, Nadine passed her mortgage broker license test couple of months ago.  Both DB and I are happy for her because she can now officially be a mortgage broker.  We are so proud of her especially from her background of a Russian immigrant and had not spoken a word of English before she came to Minnesota, now, she speaks fluent English with a touch of Russian accent. 

Her mentor at the mortgage firm she works part-time told her about Martin Worldwide’s mortgage lists.  The mortgage lists consist of  ConsumerPlus where she a database will be provided for her.  She can aim for genuine homeowners, or choose her customers’ demographics using this database.  Besides ConsumerPlus, it also includes Equity Borrowers, Mortgage Orginator TargetBase, Perfect Preferred Prospects, Public Record Information File, and Median Standing Buyers in the mortgage lists.
