MS and The Covid Monster
Y’all ‘member when I showed off my beautiful house with the stunning view for the first time? First there was ohhhing and awwwwing. Then there was the “have you lost your minds” comments? Okay, so that last one was mostly our kids. “You guys aren’t aging in reverse! Those stairs are gonna kill you!” (Spoiler alert no one has died) NO Well, for the first time I think I’m ready to tell my children that they might, perhaps, may not have been exactly so incorrect. (pffffftttt we ALL know I’m not REALLY going to admit squat!) So, Covid has hit. Yup, slammed into the side of the house and oozed through to the insides. Covid plus MS? Ohhhh soooo not a fan! It’s hit The Husband with the full force of all those nasty little germs. He is now bed bound. Ummmmm well, this sucks! The stairs. Yeah I am no longer a fan! Having been through my Mom being bed bound certainly did prepare me for this. Some of the tricks and equipment (which THANKFULLY!!) I saved (even against naysayers that we would never use that again! HA! I TOLD YOU SO!!). Little things that make my job easier. Except the…

How To Make Your Business More Successful
Being a successful business leader today means you need to make smart moves to stay ahead of your competition. Changes of any size can have a big impact on making your business more successful and your company’s overall income, growth, and productivity. Keep reading to learn more about different tactics to better your business, and then try some of them today. Innovate Your Payment System A good place to begin when reassessing your workplace processes is with the payment system. Take a step back and observe how you and your staff serve your customers. Is payment processing a pain point? Does it take too long at the point of sale? Does the exchange leave your customers frustrated and waiting far too long? Tokenizing Credit Card Data Streamlining the payments process can significantly improve the customer experience and operational efficiency. If you identify issues like suspicious transactions or insecure payments, it may be time to explore solutions like tokenization. Well, tokenizing credit card data can replace sensitive information with encrypted tokens, enhancing payment security for merchants while simplifying checkouts.

July’s $50 Your Way Giveaway!
Yeeee haaaaa it’s July’s Giveaway. Non-camp 2022 is going strong. Being retired and well, OLD you forget that 11-year-old girls don’t need to breathe. They can talk and talk and talk. (I KNOW! The nut doesn’t fall from the tree, that irony is NOT lost on me). Pre Teens are HARD WORK!! We’ve crafted, hiked, cooked (AND cleaned up our mess too!!) We’ve gone fishing and caught sticks. I swear there are no fish in Lake Ponderay. We’ve Goodwill shopped where I learned that, had kept all my old clothes from the 70’s Alice would be the happiest kid in the world. I swear if it has fringe, tie dye or well just anything hippie style she’s in LOVE and must have. I think I will need to buy another suitcase just to get her home! Alice can eat her weight in Cheetos (she gets that from me), chicken nuggets and ice cream sandwiches. She will clean up her mess and HELP cook! Helps me clean. HELLO!!? Can she stay? The Husband’s MS has flared up. He’s 100% bed bound right now. Then yesterday I came down with a nasty cold. AHHHHHHHHHHH it’s JULY!! We’ve gone from COLD to hot,…
