SWAT gear

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

As usual, phone calls to/from my hubby’s daughter include requests for money from us.  This time she wants to buy SWAT gear over the Internet.  She was telling us that she found a website, http://www.lapolicegear.com/ that sells what she needs and offers free shipping and free return shipping.

So, I had to get on the computer and find the website for my hubby to check out and order what it is she needs.  I didn’t hear what exactly it is that he will be ordering, but I took a quick peek at the site and saw that they sell a large variety of police gear and uniforms.

Phone calls to/from New England

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

My hubby tries to keep in touch with his daughter, the cop in New England.   We get free long distance calls on the weekends, so if she hasn’t called him in a while, he tries to call her.

So, he made a phone call to her today and talked for quite a while.  She has been ill with that nasty sinus infection crud that has been going around.  There’s a lot of snow (still) happening up there. 

As soon as she recovers from her sinus crud, she will be trying out for the State Police SWAT team.

Her original career plans were to go to law school and become a lawyer, but that has been put on hold while she works for the police.  It sounds to me like she is really enjoying her job, and although she SAYS she will be going back to college, I suspect that she will keep on with her police work.

Sports are big around here!

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Today one of my hubby’s new Elks club buddies came around for a short visit.  He is really “into” sports and all he seems to want to talk about is sports, sports, and sports.  He likes to place a side bet from time to time on the games, too.

When he came over, he saw that I was checking my emails and got all excited about showing my hubby and me a new sports forum website that he had discovered.  He said he had signed up to join it and was encouraging my hubby to join it also so he could keep current with who is saying what about which team, and what the best baseball picks for the upcoming season are going to be

I like figure skating and gymnastics

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I’ve never been a big sports fan myself.  I enjoy watching things like gymnastics and figure ice skating because of the gracefulness and choreography involved.  But all around me are big time sports fans!  I can’t seem to get away from them!

My client wants to “trade up” in New York

Friday, March 28th, 2008

My client/friend from New England bought an apartment with the help of experienced Manhattan real estate agents in New York a long time ago.  He grew up in New York, and visits it frequently on long weekends.  It is a very small efficiency apartment, essentially one room with a bathroom and a closet-turned kitchen.

It was a very expensive apartment to buy because of its location, and he was thrilled to get it.  However, he has been thinking about selling it and buying an apartment that is just a little bit larger.  He is planning on using Prudential Douglas Elliman for his real estate company.  He says that is New York’s largest real estate company, and thinks that he can get the best service through them.

He says that if he can’t get a buyer for his old apartment, maybe he’ll rent it out and just buy another larger one to have, too!  Must be nice to have so much money!!!
