Yes - see ocpnet.org . They can use expired coupons too. Over the last 16 months, I've sent over $18K worth of coupons. It's a nice hobby for Sat evenings when my S.O. insists on watching the 3 Stooges. Sigh...
The only really irreplaceable item in the house is me, and I don't really have much to steal. I keep about $300 in a slot on top of my desk so that would be a quick hit for a robber. My dogs (miniature pinschers who's bark actually make them sound a lot bigger than they are) are kept locked up in the laundry room while I'm gone. There's a dog door to a fenced off area outside, so they'd be able to get out if someone came after them. So all in all, it really wouldn't matter too much.
I designed my own for my side business and I also have them for my day job (although those aren't nearly as fun as the ones for my event planning business!).
I have used business cards to promote myself and my company to other professionals and to keep in touch with people I've recently networked with. The company provides all employees with a basic set of cards that include all contact information. However, I recently stopped using them because I learned that most people contacting me were looking for information that required me to refer them to another employee, usually my manager or the President of the organization. I'm currently trying to figure a way to combine the promotion of MY abilities and usefulness as an individual with the usefulness of the company. Probably won't accomplish that unless I have TWO sets of business cards.
Dave,
That was a fun show to watch, but I feel there is a lot of stage going on. You can take Popcorn Sutton as the real deal though.
Your yeast has been busy. It has gone through several generations already. It is tired and maybe not as strong as it used to be. You will also need to take into consideration, your beer mix had other nutrients that pure sugar does not. It will go mush slower for pure sugar washes.
The plastic Poland bottle has small holes that allows oxygen to get through. This will impart taste you may, or may not, want into your fermentation. This is for beer, wine or washes. But,,,, it won't hurt that much.
As for sanitation. The wee beasties effect fermentation more then distillation. You want to keep it clean enough for yeast to take hold before any other micro organisms get a chance to take hold. 5 gallons of vinegar is still good to own, eh?
Freezing this will not be a good option. That keeps all the flavours you made when fermenting, just stronger. You only want the alcohol, and that requires distillation.
Just to see if you like it, lets use a pot. Take the largest stainless pot you have with a domed lid. Pour your wash inside, float a glass bowl inside. Place the lid UPSIDE DOWN over the wash. This will create a funnel for the condensation to drip to the bowl. You can use ice, cold water, snow or anything that is easily replaced throughout the process. When you put it in the lid, it gets cold enough to condense the alcohol. It runs down and drips into the bowl. Do not boil the wash, that is to fast and will topple the bowl. Keep the ice in the lid fresh. Drain any melted ice or snow regularly.
PS, save any left over beer from the bottom of your fermenter. You can add that to the wash to get a more, whiskey, malted flavour. If you ever get a bad batch of beer, just distill it, age it on toasted oak shavings. You will be amazed how that will taste.
This is interesting discussion but we ICE and SNOW Belt people know we need to do this.
1. Clear off all ICE and FROST off our windshield, side windows and back window for safety reason.
2. Clear off all SNOW accumulation from the roof, hood and back of the car. Again, safety reason. IF and when top layer freezes, it is a hazardous sheet of ice that can fly off the car and hit the car behind you. It has caused fatal accidents, resulting in death in some cases or serious injuries. In some states, IT IS the LAW.
3. Warm up the car for mechanical reason, at least 5 minutes, then drive in moderation for the next few miles until the engine is warmed up properly, engine temp gauge and how your car drives will tell you that. Regular oil or synthetic lubricants, it does not matter, circulating it is what is important. We also warm up the car for our comfort.
Not to get off topic with how to keep frost off the windshield, there is a product made by Rxxxxx that you apply to your windows and windshield that makes water practically slide off. I apply this once a month on clean glass. I also keep regular windshield washer on spray bottle, spray mist the windshield before scraping the frost off, works conveniently for me. I don't need to go out to my car at night to spray that vinegar and water mix.
In despair after discovering my cats had been urinating in a corner of a kitchen cupboard, and trying several different "cures" to sweeten the wood, I pulverised several banana skins with warm water in the food processor. strained the liquid and repeatedly brushed the area. Obviously the enzymes are doing the trick. It will take some time, "we will win the war" (there is a scatmat in place now!)
One thing that has helped me is using my miles credit card. When I make a purchase, I immediately transfer that amount into a savings account. At the end of the month, I pay the credit card bill out of that savings account. I keep my money until the bill is due and my money earns interest during the month. The balance in my checking account is "realistic" because it does not need to cover a huge credit card bill every month. This works out really well for me.
I use business cards when I teach beading or sell my beaded jewelry. I use business more when I am promoting the no-kill animal shelter that I volunteer for, since it has all the information on it that people need to have in dealing with all of our programs. It is very helpful!
Interesting - so you send coupons to the Marine base? And they can use them there?
My problem with couponing is I'm just not motivated to be organized about it. When I'm headed out the door I have a hard enough time remembering to bring my reusable shopping bag, much less a bunch of coupons.
Re: the alarm system. Kudos to you -- you sound hardcore! But what if someone breaks in while you're not there?
I do use business cards- I include a couple in each order I ship out so customers can keep one and easily find me again and have one accessible to give my info to their friends as well.
Being the Manager of WeightTraining.com, I use business cards every day. Many times I cannot meet people face to face, so a business card attached to a WeightTraining.com T-shirt can go a long way. After all, it is all about leaving a lasting impression. Business cards (done correctly) can be a great way to do that. I think it would be cool to have a place where everyone would submit business cards, and we could all vote for the coolest or something. Just an idea. :)
I am preparing myself for an interview coming up soon, and I just want to mention that " Use a Strength as Your Weakness" strategy seems a bit cliche. I think HR people and hiring managers hear the same answer a thousand of times...so they may wonder, is this person authentic?. Again, the same answer from the previous one...if I want to be unique as you suggest, a real weakness with the steps taken to solving it may work out just fine.....unless the reason to ask this question is just to see if the potential candidate quotes a website verbatim
My husband does. He give them out to people that work in the same field as him or do similar work as he does. Thank you!

Yes, have a website and it is great to gove out a business card with the web address.

I haven't used business cards
https://twitter.com/#!/linjiunhan/status/157003355535839233
I use them to remember people I meet at meetings, expos, and conferences.
I have its a quick way to connect/network with ppl.
Thanks for mentioning the gym membership deals post! Great roundup, some good articles in here, thanks.
Don't know if I'll ever love cooking, I do love eating though : )
