Here in Texas, people would just laugh if you tried to sell them a car without air conditioning. It is so hot in the summer, you can probably fry eggs on your car and boil water inside it. Also, the thing about Texas summers is that they are long, lasting from April to October for all practical purposes. So, if your ac compressor goes out, you are either the proud new owner of a mobile sauna, or you need to get it replaced. Pronto.

The thing is, especially if you’re a woman, the mechanics around here will take you for a ride if you let them. An air conditioning compressor could end up costing twice what it would on a site like Discount AC Parts. Not only do they carry auto ac parts at great prices, but they also offer FREE shipping! I love free shipping–and on heavy parts, that is a great deal!

The site is not limited to just a few models, either. You can find BMW or Mercedes AC compressors as well as a
Ford ac compressor.
Definitely a great site to go to if you are a do it yourself type of person, or if you simply prefer a better deal on the part you are going to take to your mechanic!

A work friend whose family owns a furniture store was recently ecstatic because the commercial was made in her house, featuring her kids jumping on the bed and couches. It occurred to me that even having a store in a small town isn’t quite enough to drive sales, you still need to engage in some advertising via the media. It turns out that this can be surprising accessible. Say, for example, you have invented a widget and figured out how to get it produced. You could then go to Hawthorne Direct, and work with them on how you are going to market your product. They do long and short form TV (infomercials),
TV media buying, commercial production and much more. So this idea I had about all the advertising transactions occurring in a secret room in the Trump Tower have apparently been off-base. It’s not such an elusive mystery after all.

I’m really not sure about this blog design. I like the way it looks a lot, and it has a “cutting edge” feel that most other templates do not have. I wanted it to be different in this world of a gazillion blogs. The thing is, I think it’s more difficult to read, and I have perfect eyesight. Is anyone else having trouble reading it, or is feeling annoyed by the muted colors and smallish font? I’m thinking about switching templates, although that will be a big pain in the butt, since I’ll have to customize the next template to have my PPP code and stuff. I dunno. What do you think?
