When is mother’s day 2012? Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 13, 2012!!! So if you are in the Cleveland area and need flowers delivered to mom for her special day, you may want to check out this florist in Cleveland.

I’m talking (bragging) about Mayfield Floral. I remember years ago when I was dating a girl I was in a rush to get her mother flowers. I didn’t have a smartphone back then to tell me where the nearest flower shop was on Cleveland’s Eastside. So I drove up and down Mayfield road looking for a florist to get some great mother’s day flowers.

Mayfield Floral

I finally found a flower shop, went in, got a great mother’s day bouquet and took it to my girlfriend’s house and gave it to her mother. Now I’m not good at picking out flowers, but the people at this flower shop in Cleveland help me pick out a nice mother’s day arrangement.

So even though that was years ago, I still remember going to Mayfield Floral in Cleveland. (and of course I’m bragging about them.)

Kudos!!

Check them out and order some flowers for mom. Remember, mother’s day is on Sunday, May 13, 2012!!!

You have seen them on school chairs. You have seen them cafeteria chairs. They are the little plastic things that go on the bottom rails of chairs.

Do you know what they are called? They are called plastic chair glides.

These chair glides prevent floors from getting scratched. They work even better when they have felt on them.

Plastic chair glides

I discoered a company that sells and manufactures these plastic chair glides. They are called LCS Products or chaircaps.com

They have to be the cheapest place around for these amazing chair glides.  However there is minimum order.

If you are a school looking for chair caps and glides check out LCS products.

My cousin was looking for a website where contractors can find commercial construction projects up for bid. After doing a little research, I found a site where you can find commercial construction projects.  The site is called EliteProNet.com.

Image via Wikipedia

According to their site, EliteProNet is a

nationwide network of highly qualified Subcontractors. Their objective is to find construction projects for our customers (mainly contractors.) Their site goes on to say that to become one of their qualified Subcontractors, they make it a priority to help you grow your business by supplying you with qualified construction opportunities and networking options.

 

 

So after I told my cousin about this website, he joined their network and was able to find and acquire great construction jobs for his company.

Written from my phone so excuse the typos.

Do opposites really attract? I used to think this when I was young and dumb. But honestly, people like people who are like themselves.

One of the basic things we look at in friends or someone we are dating is commonality.

Do we both like the same music? Do we both hate the same foods. Commonalities cause good conversation. Commonalities can cause people to relate to one another. Commonalities cause people to like you.

Even if you think you and your friend or lover are complete opposites, you probably have more in common then you actually realize.
So when meeting people and getting to know someone, you’ll notice that the first subjects of your conversation is establishing what is in common.

Bad Date - Probably Nothing in Common

Ever go on a date with someone and they start of the conversation about what they don’t like or what they hate? I bet you aren’t with them any more.

Now by no means am I some sort of relationship guru. But I have studied years of psychology and neuro linguistics for years. But as I said, when I was young and dumb I made the mistake of thinking that opposites attract. From 10 years of studies, I know that if you are the total opposite or have nothing in common with someone you are with, get out now before you have kids with them.

I do miss Cleveland. I’ll be back soon. And when I do come back, I’ll be sure to bring back some Dairymen’s iced tea. Here is a list of things that I miss from Cleveland.

Dairymens Iced Tea – Some of you call this Ghetto Tea, to me it is the most refreshing Iced Tea I ever drank in my life.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale – They won’t ship to Florida and some kook on Ebay was selling them at $9.99 a bottle.

Whiskey Island – Before it became really popular, Whiskey Island was my place to get away and collect my thoughts. Sunday’s were the greatest days there with the little bar there.

My Family – Enough said. Love you Mom!

Cheap Cost of Living – Yes, you could rent a big house for $500 in the West Blvd area.

Lorain Road – I think I counted over 75 dive  bars from W.25th to W.98th. They would even let you smoke in the bars even after they passed the smoking ban.

GiGi's Lounge

Brook Park Rd – Do I really need to get into this?

Mr. Hero – They don’t have them down here in the South. I would love a Roman Burger!!!

Fishing – I could identify just about any fish I caught in Lake Erie or Rocky River. Here in Florida they got Marlins and Dolphins and shit that I can’t identify.

The Cavs – I miss going to the Cavs games, but 3 months after I moved down  here, LeGone took his talents here as well.

BW-3′s – C’mon the wings were the bomb!!!

West Side Market – Can I get a melon?

Gallucci’s – I would get a few lbs of Italian Sausage,  some hot peppers and have a grill fest.

I-71 – Compared to I-95, it’s a deserted highway with no traffic.

My friends!

I plan on adding to this list as soon as I do some more thinking.  If you are from Cleveland but not living there, what are some of the things that you miss about the hood.

Most of my friends know me as the “psychologist” some of them know me as the guy who loves to have a good time and make people laugh.  What ever the case may be…I like making someone’s day. If you want to make someone’s day do some of these things. They work for me. I’m sharing them with you.  (Take heed… do one or two a day without expectation. I’m a karma guy. It will make your day too just to make someone else’s day.)

Offer to help no matter how little the task.

Tell a joke.

Send a funny text.

Give some a hug.

Allow someone to vent. Listen.

Let someone know how appreciated they are.

Give a compliment and mean it!!

Notice when someone wears nice clothes or does their hair (This is important for you guys..always notice when a woman changes something.)

Hold the door open for everyone.

Say thank you.

Smile

Let those close to you know how special they really are.

Call an old friend. If you don’t know what to say..drop them a text or a Facebook message.

Don’t take the last piece of pie…(don’t take the last beer.)

Volunteer.

Bake or make a dinner for someone. If you can’t cook – Google it.

Don’t just say sorry, mean it..show action.

The Sony HDR-PJ50V video camera  took me buy surprise. there is a projector build right into the back of the LCD display. It’s great for showing your videos right away. With an internal hardrive of 220 gigabytes, it can store plenty of your home videos.  (But of course it’s always best to upload your videos to your computer or other storage device for safe keeping.

The Sony HDR-PJ50V is a pretty mainstream camcorder/video camera. It doesn’t not have a lot of the controls like a super-professional video camera but it will get the job done.  The clarity of  videos shot with the Sony HDR-PJ50V Video Camera is pretty amazing.

If you are looking for 5.1 surround out of the  Sony HDR-PJ50V Video Camera the build in microphone will make  your videos sound great.

There are stereo speakers built in the LCD monitor so that you can get full quality sound while previewing your videos.

What I really liked about the Sony HDR-PJ50V Video Camera is that even while you are zooming or getting a close up, the HD quality does not deteriorate like most cameras.  Also, the images is remarkably still with it’s image stabilization.

The Projector

I thought this feature was extremely cool. The projector on the back of the monitor will clearly project the video up to a 60 inches. The Sony HDR-PJ50V Video Camera is an extremely convenient piece of technology. It shows that Sony should keep sticking with video cameras.

If you want a camcorder that will last and takes amazing and stunning video, the JVC GZ-HD500 Camcorder can’t be beat.  JVC has always put out a great product and they are basically the grandfather of digital camcorders.  With Laser Touch Operation, the JVC GZ-HD500 camcorder has touch sensitive scroll bar and buttons for very easy operation.  These easy controls control zooming and recording using either the Laser Touch or standard zoom lever and Record  button.  Since you really don’t touch the lcd screen your monitor will be finger print free.
