ONLINE ONE-RATE MAILING OF PACKAGES: If you try to send a package and use the online postage system, the web site will ask you for the weight of the package seemingly going against what they advertise on television. The post office said to just estimate the weight, that they just want to know that you have not exceeded the 70 pound limit. You would think they would indicate that on the web site but they do not. www.usps.com/clicknship
WIND MITIGATION INSURANCE DISCOUNTS: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! All insurance companies are required to offer Louisiana homeowners “discounts, credits, or other rate differentials…” for particular construction techniques that help to reduce wind damage caused by hurricanes, tropical storms and other windstorm related claims. The document that describes this in detail has been uploaded to http://www.slidellcalendar.com/ in the Document section in the Insurance Issues Folder. This could affect you and/or any of the people in your database who live in Louisiana. Would make a great mailout.

THIS SIMPLE TIP GENERATED 14 TRANSACTIONS IN JUST THREE MONTHS but it won’t work if you don’t read it. By Joe Stumpf http://www.brokeragentsocial.com/article/1025/this-simple-tip-generated-14-transactions-in-just-three-months
THE MARKET CENTER LIBRARY is almost complete. 99% of the books are in place. There will be another book case added soon that will include a lot of CDs, DVDs and Cassette Tapes. There will eventually be in excess of 1000 titles to choose from on sales, self-improvement, inspiration, motivational, etc. There are only two point five rules:
1. Please write the title of the item(s) you are taking on the back of a business card and leave the card in the glass bowl on the book case. This will let someone know if a title they are looking for may be checked out.
2. When you are finished, please return the item(s) for the next person's use.
2.5. If you have any books that you would like to donate to the library you are more than welcome to do so.
SIX REASONS WHY BOOKS MAKE THE BEST GIFTS
6. Books are inexpensive. Sure, some books can be as much as $50, but for as little as $10, you can get the perfect gift for someone.
5. You can personalize the book you give. What makes a book really special is that you can write an inscription in it. It makes the book that you get for someone all the more personal.
4. A book will last a lifetime. A toy will eventually be discarded and a sweater will wear thin. A book, though, will forever grace the person's bookshelf. Every time they refer to the book that you gave them, they'll remember you.
3. You can literally do all your shopping in one place. Whether you stay home and shop online or you venture outside your house to a bookstore, you can get your shopping done in one place -- and probably in one trip.
2. There's nothing to worry about when buying a book. When you buy a book for someone, that's it. Wrap it, set it under the tree, and then watch the smile on the person's face as they see the book you bought for them. You don't have to worry about getting the wrong size, forgetting batteries, or hoping you got their favorite color.
1. There is something for everyone! From self-improvement to drama, from philosophy to how-to, your chances of picking a book the person will love is as close to 100% as you can get!
Even with those six great reasons, there is one more reason why books make the best gifts.
Bonus Reason Why Books Make the Best Christmas Gifts: Hopefully you and every member of your family are “learning based”; education is what you get when you read, experience is what you get when you don’t.
GRATITUDE - LIKE A WET BABY
"The only person who always likes change is a wet baby. Sometimes change can be the last thing we want." Jeff Herring
It's a funny part of the human condition but most of us want to get different results in our lives without having to make any real changes.
We want the circumstances to change, oh yes, but not us.
But the funny thing is that when the circumstances do change, they seem to get worse.
It's actually scientific. If you remember some high school science you know about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Left to themselves, systems become more disorganized and chaotic over time.
Kind of like your life while you wait for things to get better, eh?
Now some people are willing to do a little work on themselves, but like the wet baby in our quote, they only want to do enough to get dry.
They're not willing to do the work on themselves that will keep them from getting wet again!
So what's the answer? Substantial change in your life requires substantial change in you. No shortcuts.
Transformative change that moves you to a new state of being takes work, but the results are worth it.
It means giving up the comfortable habits of today and developing the new and (at first) uncomfortable habits of tomorrow.
Pick a habit to change today.
You'll be grateful that you did.
Many blessings, Wes
