Did you ever “niggle” something? You bet ya I have.  In my former profession if I called a deputy into the office sometimes it was just to say hi I appreciate your dedication but usually not.  I would read their report and would call them into the office.  I would compliment them on their work ethic yadda, yadda, yadda.  I would then lower the boom and hand them the report and tell them simply fix it.  I could see the blank look on their face and after a few moments of letting them sweat I would tell them what was wrong with the report.  I knew some of the deputies resented me but after a few reports getting returned they knew if it passed my review it would make it all the way up the line.  The meaning of (nig’el) to work fussy; pay too much attention to petty details.  However petty... 11/12/2011

Turn Flat Stocks/Cash To A 20% ROI By FLIPPING HOMES If you could buy a car that you know is worth $20,000 for $10,000 would you do it? I most certainly would. That is exactly what is happening with some of the houses for sale right now in our area. Some of these bank owned homes can be bought for half of their retail value. It does not take a rocket surgeon to see the value in that. It is not exactly that simple. The homes generally need repairs and upgrades, but if you buy it for half its value then you have plenty of room to make the improvements needed and still turn a good profit. If you are not a craftsman, don't worry, there are plenty of professionals out there that can assist you with the improvements, myself included.

  Just call me Sir Eagle… Yes sir the Eagle has landed.  It all started last week when a friend of mine asked me to go to the local golf course aka par three.  There are 5 par 4’s and 4 par three’s on the course.  On the third hole I hit a dead shot to the trees on the left and the ball ended up in the fairway.  I took out the 7 wood and hit a beautiful shot and saw it roll onto the green.  When I got there with my friend I could not see my ball and low and behold it was in the cup.  My first Eagle and I hope not my last.  Nothing could go wrong the rest of the day in fact it’s still going good  10/19/2011
