So i was thing the other day what would it be like if Gulf oysters did not have Pearl's in them. What if they where empty would the have the same atraction for people? I know they would still taste good and people would still eat them because they are sweet and tasty but would people still search for them? What would happen to all those people that wanted to have pearl necklace would it be the same if oysters had charcoal in them? What would a Gulf oysters charcoal necklace bring in the open market, $100 or less. I don't think it would be the same for anyone. I guess we should all be happy that oysters have pearls. :) It would be interesting if oysters gave diamonds though I think that would be cool to find something like that when you are opening them up. I had an oyster with a pearl in it once and it was fun to find it but the time it takes to wait for a pearl is many years and I have to say that I'm not the most patient person when it come to waiting.

 What would you like to find in an oyster, let me know in the comments below.

I have been looking at getting my brother-in-law one of those magnetic car signs. I think he could really use one since he has taken up doing photogray. Some of his pictures are on the site in the gallry section. He has been playing around with photoshop for some time and can edit and restore old photo's as well as change backgrounds and do touch ups. I have been telling him that he needs to start advertising what he can do. I really thing if he stuck a couple of the magnetic car signson his car he could make a little extra money. The prices for these are really cheap even one job would recoup the cost of having 3 of these on your vehicle. Here is a sample of what I think he should get (see picture to the right).

Please leave a comment if you think this is something that would get your attention as your are driving around town. If I can show him that people would call then maybe he will get some and put them on his cars.

So I have an issue with Bank of America, I guess I did not read all the paper work that I was sent. They have changed their policies so if any charges are pending on your account and you have a negative balance with those pending charges you will be billed a overdraft fee. I know that sounds a little weird but I talked to 2 agents a supervisor and then Matt Gross at Executive Escalations and that is the new official policy. From what Matt said they sent the notice out back in June of last year and the policy went into effect this week. The two agents did not really know what was going on and the supervisor was a little better.

GRRR… I have to say that I’m not happy with this new policy and I’m really thinking of just spending cash instead of using my debit card with this policy. So if you make a reservation where they authorize your card for a preset amount as a hold then that comes out of your available balance even if they never process the charge. So like Hotels or Car Rentals, before this policy went into effect it would not have made a difference to your available balance now you can get overdraft fee’s and start a cascade affect on your account and owe the bank 100’s of dollars in fees.

Here is a better explination of the above:

"BoA has started charging overdraft fees on pending transaction (not posted transaction) when you go into the negative in your available balance. This will occur even if transaction(s) fall off and you're really not in the negative. "

So we went out and about last night with our guests, we went down to the Kells Irish Festival and hung out in one of the tents and listened to some music. I have some movies that I took on my phone but they are 3pg so I will have to convert them. Here are some pictures though!!

Sorry for the quality but what can you do with a cell phone camera. :)
