I used business cards for my website - it helped because people often thought the idea was cool, but needed an extra reminder to hit the web when they got home. It worked pretty well!
That's especially true the way most people do gardening. It's a great way to get better, healthier food than you can find at the grocery store, and to do so at a pretty low cost (once you pay for your garden tools).
In fact, though, gardening is different, in that it really does offer the opportunity to get a large fraction of your total calories—if you plan your garden to produce the maximum amount of food for the minimum input of money and effort. In Britain during WWII, people who lived in towns could get an allotment—some land in the nearby countryside—on which to grow some of their own food.
If you plant to maximize calorie production (in particular, if you grow potatoes), you can actually produce half or more of the calories that your family needs in a plot that would fit in an ordinary back yard.
Of course, potatoes are so cheap it doesn't make any sense to do so, as things are now.
Nope, don't use business cards. I'm a homemaker, so I don't think anybody would want a card from me. I should get some though just to toss in those fishbowls to win free lunches at establishments. :)
I have business cards, but I rarely think to hand them out. It usually seems a little unnatural to me, but I am also bad at getting contact information from friends.
Oh, that is too bad! My mother actually shares the name of a well-known drug addict who is ALWAYS in the papers - in the same small town. They spell their first names differently, but still, I'm sure some people have read the police blotter in the local paper and thought, "Well, I never pegged her as a meth dealer."
Unfortunately for my son, his name is the exact same name as someone who brutally murdered his parents a couple of years ago in a well-covered media case. Their mutual name isn't that common and the murderer is the same age as my son too (21). I tell my son to be sure to highlight his middle name and that he is Canadian (the murderer is an American). Still, I wonder if it has cost him jobs when people Google the name! It is very unfortunate for him.
I think one of the keys to staying committed to exercise is tracking your progress! It really helps me to stay motivated.
The other key is that motivated workout partner, don't look for someone who is as lazy as you. Try to find someone that gets you pumped and ready to get in shape! I know I've been more successful when I've had someone going to the gym with me who always was excited to go every time.
I think a similar argument can be made for gardening. It might not make sense for everyone to have a full garden, but almost anyone can both handle (and get a huge taste benefit from) having a pot or two of fresh herbs growing on the sill.
Yes, I do use cards. I am a street photographer and freelance reporter. When I make a photograph or video I give me card to the person I am photographing this serves two purposes one it lets them know I am legit, two they can order a print from me.
So true! Every few months, when I go through and purge my house of things, I look around and think "Oh, well, I guess we really don't NEED a bigger house at all."
It's kind of amazing, isn't it? You can totally change the character of a room with a new color. :) It's one of my favorite ways to change things up without spending a ton of cash.
I have business cards, but I don't really use them. I've handed out a few at networking meetings, and they're nice to have on hand for drawings that say to toss your business card in the bowl... but I don't fly through them like a lot of other people do.
"When you use credit, make it work like cash." If I do use my credit card, I usually record the amount in my checkbook and show it as "payable". I hate getting a credit card statement and then have to come up with the money. It's not as bad when the money is already set aside.
That being said, I always spend more when I use a credit card or debit card. I've been trying to talk myself into switching to cash. For some reason, the same things I don't hesitate to buy with my debit card, I can't buy with cash. I just have a harder time spending cash. I'm much more careful! But debit cards are SO convenient! I guess the question is: do I want to save money and stick to my budget or have convenience.
I use business cards at work (paid for by my work) and for my own Princess House business (which I pay for). They're handy to get information out quickly (and neatly).
We have a family business card. We are military and move around so we have found that once we move and get situated having a business card we can send to our loved ones with our new information. Also if we meet some people and become friends we also provide our cards for that. It's pretty handy!

That depends... are they artfully arranged or draped to create dramatic fiberscapes*?

Yes, I've used business cards in the past to promote my freelance services.
Do piles of clothing count as bedroom decoration? Because I have a lot of those.

That, and coloring my hair.
I use business cards for clients and future clients. I love using one with nice colors that catch the recipients attention.

I use business cards especially in conferences or seminars.
