I discuss my internet marketing projects with my office-mate at work, and have actually got him hooked on a few IM bloggers for their entertainment value (sadly, both have given up their wild and wacky ways- but there’s a lovely video trail left which is ideal for settling back with a bowl of popcorn).

Today we got to talking about beer (long story short- I found some awesome recipes for beer bread) which lead into my blathering on about the two beer review vloggers that I know which lead to internet marketing, and so on. Both beer review vloggers live just outside of Chicago. Both are internet marketers…

And then you add in the web designer/internet marketer that I referred him to for his side business’ website… who lives in Chicago.

I tallied them up. How come so many of my internet marketing friends live in or near Chicago? And how come they all drink beer? And then I realized- Obama = Chicago. One of Obama’s most effective campaigns for the presidential election was via Twitter. Obama’s an internet marketer! (And he outsources just like the best of us). This whole thing filters down straight from the top!

So, if I want to be successful at this, does that mean that I have to move to Chicago and drink beer? I can think of worse things.

Even though the housing market seems to have begun its upswing, many families are still facing foreclosure. The American Residential Law Group is a group of experienced lawyers in the residential law field who can help you avoid foreclosure by negotiating with the mortgage lender. Foreclosure is as bad for the lender as it is for the owner, yet without someone experienced in this area to negotiate with the lender, it may be the only option.

American Residential Law Group (ARLG) is based in south Florida and may be the answer to your needs. Their areas of specialty are:

* Bankruptcy
* Foreclosure
* Mortgage Litigation
* Short Sale
* Forensic Loan Audit

If you’re in need of legal help in any of these areas, give American Residential Law Group a call.

Everyone knows what Husbands are, right? Those awesome back pillows with the arms? No? You didn’t know? That’s ok, I didn’t either for about 29 years- I always just called them “those pillows with the arms”.

Well, I don’t sit at a desk to work or play on my laptop, it’s either the bed or the couch. If it’s the couch, I sit sideways, not normally, and the stupid couch arms dig into my back. Hubs complains if I use the bed because I steal all of his pillows to prop my back up. So, I told him that I want a Husband, and if I get one that I’ll stop stealing his pillows (for that purpose, anyway).

So this weekend we split off. He went to his parents, I went to mine (we always do this for holidays). He remembered that he used to have a Husband at his parents house, and they’ve kept most of his stuff for him since we don’t have proper storage where we live. Apparently they don’t actually know where any of it is, though.

So he approached his brother. He says to his very straight brother, “I’m looking for a husband”. This earns him a rather suspicious look because his brother knows hubs is straight and thus this can not mean what it sounds like it means. Hubs explains, brother in law relaxes, but no one knows where it is.

So, they head out to K-mart to the pillow section where they find a man that works there. Hubs approaches and states “I’m looking for a husband”. That poor man. According to hubs, the man was very quick to point out that he’s already married (which when he related the story to me just made me respond that then he IS a husband!) and apparently became very nervous until hubs explained to him that it’s a pillow with arms.

And while I desperately wish that I could put this story down in writing the way hubs told it to me verbally (and the fact that without knowing my husband you can’t possibly know just how very funny this is) I’m just very happy that eventually my husband found a husband and I now can have two husbands in bed any time I want.

The end.
