Houston Business Insurance Quotes

Posted July 22nd, 2010 by admin No Comments

I’m not taking any chances this time around; I’m making Houston business insurance quotes from Larry Jones Insurance my first priority. This time, last year I was in the middle of opening what I thought would be a very lucrative health and beauty spa in the Uptown Park area of town. Little did I know that the plumbing in the business above my location would create havoc for my dream.

A week before we were scheduled to open, I got a call in the middle of the night from the building manager letting me know that a pipe had burst in the unit above mine and that I should get there as soon as possible. When I walked in to my suite, the suite that I’d been working on night and day for the previous six months, I couldn’t believe my eyes. One bad pipe had derailed my entire business plan, there was over a foot of water on the floor and all of my equipment, computers, and stalls had been ruined. Needless to say, I had not even thought of Houston business insurance quotes yet, even though it had been recommended, I figured I had time to shop around.

That single pipe cost me my entire investment and then some. The building manager was able to work with the building’s insurance agent to help me recover some of my losses, but it was a mere drop in the bucket compared to what I’d already spent. This time I’m making Larry Jones Insurance my first call. We’re painting our new location this weekend and the grand opening is months away, but I’ll be ready for any unforeseen disasters. Oddly enough, after all of this is said and done, I’ll probably be my first customer because I’m going to need a massage after all of the sweat I’ve put into my new dream. Down but never out.

Houston Building Maintenance Services

Posted June 22nd, 2010 by mel No Comments

I needed a Houston building maintenance services company to help me prep a new building I’ve recently purchased. I’ve had to make several service calls since purchasing this office building in the Uptown park area of town and it’s becoming a real problem for me.

It seems that the building management that’s there now has to out-source anything that doesn’t have to do with lawn care or janitorial needs. I placed a call to the Realtor that discovered the property for me and explained to her the problems that I was experiencing with the building maintenance crew that came with the building. She was shocked to hear about my situation, but knew of a great company that provided excellent Houston building maintenance services.

Turns out that there was never a real maintenance crew, but instead a quartet of janitors that could handle general lawn upkeep as well. So she suggested that I give Maintaining It Right, Enterprises a call because they offered a more complete list of maintenance and repair services. I checked them out and was glad to learn that they offered concrete maintenance as one of their building services. One of the first things I noticed about this office building before I purchased it was that the parking lot needed repairs in several areas. I called Maintaining It Right, Enterprises and they’re sending someone to the building to discuss taking over the maintenance needs of my latest investment property.

Houston Party Bus

Posted June 15th, 2010 by mel No Comments

For Father’s Day this year I’m renting a Houston party bus to take my family along with our next door neighbors to Six Flags in San Antonio. I haven’t told the family yet, because I want them to be surprised and it’s a trip that I’ve been planning for a couple of summers now and just haven’t taken the time to actually make it happen. It’s not a very long drive, but I didn’t want the two families to have to travel in separate cars. This is our first real excursion with our new neighbors and I wanted a chance to get to know them on the way to the park.

I ran the idea by my wife and she thought it sounded like a great idea, but she wasn’t sure of who would be the best company for the job. I asked a co-worker of mine and she quickly referred me to Houston Limo VIP. She said that her and her husband invited their entire wedding party out for drinks on the night before their wedding and used a Houston party bus from Houston Limo VIP to transport everyone around as they club hopped. Everyone had a great time as they club hopped all night long, be transported from spot to spot safely and timely.

Father’s Day is approaching fast and I can’t wait for us to all hit the road together.

Derivative Accounting

Posted May 26th, 2010 by mel No Comments

In the field of risk management, derivative accounting is a very helpful tool. It allows for the risk taker to be able to assess the probability of losses and gains. When the value of something that you hold is based off of the value of a separate asset, it is possible that if the separate asset’s value were to fall dramatically, the value of what you were originally betting on can depreciate as a result of the actions of the separate asset.

For example: If you were to buy a lot of stock in tires or rubber, the value of your stock would be greatly affected by the value of oil during the same time period. Since oil is necessary in the production of both tires and rubber, the value of oil will have either a negative or positive effect on the value of your tire/ rubber stocks.

Therefore without the use of derivative accounting it would be difficult to account for any changes of tire/rubber stock value if the value of the oil needed for production had not been taken into consideration.

Houston Auto Insurance Quotes

Posted April 13th, 2010 by mel No Comments

I’m still in shock by the luck that found me last weekend in Louisiana at the casino, but believe it or not I won a new car. Totally took my wife and I by surprise, but I put a dollar into the slot machine and all the wheels landed on cars. I stood there in shock, stuck with my jaw on the floor as I counted one, two, three, four, five cars in a row. Bells and sirens were going off like crazy and from out of nowhere the manager of the casino was standing beside me with a set of keys in his hand saying “Congratulations, you are the winner of a brand new Chevy Truck!” It finally set in when he put the keys in my hand. But then the reality that we had made it to the casino on a tour bus set in and we would certainly need insurance to drive our prize back to Houston.

So I pulled out my smart phone and searched for Houston auto insurance quotes. I found the Larry Jones Insurance agency and immediately called them to set up auto insurance so that we could drive our prize home. Over the phone I was give a very reasonable set of Houston auto insurance quotes and we were able to have an insurance form faxed to me at the casino. In less than an hour after making that slot machine sing, we were on the road in our new truck, having left the tour bus behind, along with the end of our bad luck.

Railroad Accident Attorney

Posted March 9th, 2010 by mel No Comments

Looking for a Railroad Accident Attorney that is FELA certified, look to the Burwell Nebout Law Firm. The Railroad Accident Attorneys that are part of the Burwell Nebout team have been trained and certified to handle cases dealing with the Federal Employees Liability Act. FELA was designed to allow a jury in a court of law to make decisions regarding the compensation awarded to a railway employee that has been injured in a railway related accident.

I used the Burwell Nebout Law Firm when I was injured during a train derailment just outside of Houston. I looked for a Railroad Accident Attorney online and was glad to find Burwell Nebout. They understood the complexities of my case as a railway employee and all of its guidelines. My case ended up being decided by a jury and it lasted about two months. My Railroad Accident Attorney was able to convince the jury of the seriousness of my injuries and the depth of how much my life was impacted. The jury awarded me a seven figure settlement, along with an order to maintain my medical care since it was proven that the railway was at fault.

Houston Bathroom Remodeling

Posted March 1st, 2010 by mel No Comments

My wife and I just purchased our first home in Houston and although we’re both very excited, my main sticking point was the sad, drab master bathroom. In order for me to agree on the home, she had to agree to Houston bathroom remodeling. When we first toured the house it was immediately at the top of her list, but I couldn’t get past the sad, dark, drab master bathroom. The house is older, but not quite a fixer upper. The master bathroom only has one sink and a garden tub. I am adamant about having Houston bathroom remodeling done so that we can have a set of his and hers sinks, along with a nice glass shower stall for me.

After meeting our next door neighbors and telling them of the changes that we would like to make, they gave us the name of a Houston bathroom remodeling company called Home Remedy. They shared with us that two years prior to our buying the house next door, they too had considered having a couple of their bathrooms redone and were recommended Home Remedy by their realtor. We were invited inside their home to see the two Houston bathroom remodeling jobs that had been done by Home Remedy and I can tell you that we were very impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail. I’ll be placing a call to Home Remedy for our Houston bathroom remodeling project as soon as we finish unpacking.

Houston Urgent Care

Posted February 26th, 2010 by mel No Comments

Hmmm – Urgent Care? Ever needed it in Houston? You can never plan to be ready for an emergency situation, when they happen they are almost always a surprise. Like last weekend when my son had a sleepover for him and six of his classmates. My house as taken over by a gang of hyper, messy, hungry, competitive ten year olds. My son being the most competitive, challenged all six of his friends to a back flip competition on the backyard trampoline. This was nothing out of the ordinary, I watch him spend hours on that thing on any given day. So to see all the boys standing around the trampoline taking turns was nothing new.
I can only assume that one of his friends had got the best of him, because the next thing I knew, two of his friends were yelling for me to come outside. I looked out the window and saw my son David, limping on one leg towards the house. I ran outside to find that his ankle had swollen to the size of a ruby red grapefruit. I quickly whipped out my Blackberry and searched for Houston Urgent Care. I knew it wasn’t life threatening and I didn’t want to have to take seven ten year olds to the hospital at once. My search for Houston Urgent Care produced Elite Care 24 Hour Urgent care center and it was located right by our house here in Rice Village.
We all piled into the van and were back home having ice cream and continuing the sleepover, but from the family room instead of the backyard.

PC Repair in Houston

Posted February 26th, 2010 by mel No Comments

Have you ever been online and mistakenly opened an email from an unknown sender? Well I have and actually just did it recently. I’d been waiting for a contract to be emailed to me from the caterer for my daughter’s wedding. Going through my emails in the inbox, I thought I recognized the caterer’s name on one of the emails I had that day, I clicked it and opened it. Boy, was that a big mistake? The moment that the email opened my computer started making this odd buzzing sound. I quickly tried to close the email and delete it, but I was too late. The damage had been done and my computer screen had been taken over by ads for an online singles website and they were very improper.  I knew my husband would be upset that I invited a virus into his new computer and I scrambled trying to think of a way to fix it.
I called my grandson and he told me to come over and use his computer and he’d help me search online for repair PC Houston. So I did just that, although I’m not very computer savvy, my grandson knew how to find me some immediate help. I went to by my daughter’s house and my grandson and I searched online for repair PC Houston and found J & K Electronics. I gave the store a call and explained what I’d done to my husband’s computer. Over the phone I was given an explanation as to what probably lead to the problem. I was told that I had probably inadvertently opened a virus and that they could surely fix it for me. Before I ended the call I was asked how I’d come to find J & K Electronics, I told him that I searched online for repair PC Houston and there they were.
The next day while my husband was at work, I took his computer to J & K Electronics. They fixed the computer and I was back home in enough time to have dinner on the table before my husband could ever know that anything had happened. To this day, my husband still has no idea that I temporarily broke his favorite Christmas gift. Thank you J & K Electronics!
