With the economy down you might not be looking to build a brand new home.  You might be thinking, “Hey, our home really isn’t that bad at all.  And we know the area, right.  And the kids like it here…so let’s just fix it up a bit.” 

And that’s what’s happening a lot lately.  People are getting a little money from the banks so they can only do smaller projects.  For that reason SierraCrest Construction company, as well as many other general contractors, are doing a lot of additions and remodels lately.  Sierra Crest Construction excels at kitchen remodels and bathroom remodels, but they are also more than qualified for bigger projects and have done many in the past. 

And in terms of the past I mean like 25 years experience, past.  That’s a long time and a lot of experience.  Which is essential!  No body wants to pay 1000s of dollars for a dream kitchen that ends up looking more like a nightmare. 

You know, you’re sitting in the kitchen and then you happen to notice that the new windows never got sealed properly.  And then the worst case scenario is the contractor that was hired and too inexperienced, tries to charge to fix the problem.  Crazy!  That’s why you need to select a general contractor that A, has a lot of experience, and B, has a lot of happy clients.  If you go on Yelp and find bad comments don’t go with that company.  It just costs too dang much to make a poor decision.

A Chiropractor In San Leandro, CA With A Bit Of A Different Approach

Most people think of these types of noises when they think about a chiropractor.  But I learned from Dr. Dan Weymouth that is not necessarily the case…

So in chiropractics there are a few different styles, or techniques, or modalities if you will.  One such way to practice chiropractics is with twists and cracks of the back to try and reset alignment.  But it is also a very physical type of chiropractics and can often not be good for the patient at all.

Case example, my friend Susan Schott.  Susan had an accident years ago and had been experiencing a tremendous amount of pain.  She had tried different doctors but the problem she kept running into was that because of her injuries she was unable to find someone who could help her and that wasn’t causing more pain in the process.  I had heard Susan’s story but it wasn’t until I was in Doctor Dan’s office that I saw a picture with a testimonial from Susan thanking the Doc did I realize Dr Dan was the man to fix her problem.

He explained to me the technique he used to help Susan, where he used a device called an activator.  This device allows Dr Dan to manipulate small tiny bones independently and without any pain.  The activator sends a quick little shot of force out via a small arm or rod and in a few sessions he was able to maneuver her alignment back to a pain free state without having to…

If you’re thinking of buying a home or selling your home in San Ramon, California and are looking for a great realtor who really knows the area, then you’d be excited to learn about Terri Tucker.  Terri is a real estate agent with Rockcliff Realtors.

What’s exciting to know about Terri besides being a real sweetheart and a pleasure to talk with is that she has lived in San Ramon for over 26 years now!  That’s someone who really knows the area!  There are parts of San Ramon that I’ve never seen or heard of.  Like the South San Ramon area.  This is part of what’s considered the “older” part of town as it was popular before the big housing boom.  Now there are freeways ripping up and down the whole Tri Valley area with homes towering, looming over upon us from nearly every hillside. 

So if you’re shopping homes for sale in San Ramon, you might want to talk with Terri about the area.  I’m sure she can uncover some areas that you might not have seen or even considered.  I hear there are a lot of first time buyers moving into the south San Ramon area mainly because it is all of a sudden very affordable.

But if you just want to look at homes for sale in the area or are thinking about possibly listing your home with Terri you should visit her CityScoop website.  From there you can search homes on her site or read about Terri, her past clients, and about the network of professionals that she works with in order to create a “one stop shop” no hassle process.

Picture an older gentlemen in his 60s with a button-up plaid shirt and strong hair part.  Now picture yourself taking music lessons from this man.

Okay, now erase that picture and envision yourself taking music lessons from this guy, Rick Cittar! 

I’m a musician myself for about 18 years now and I took lessons in piano for about 8 years.  And let me tell you if I could go back and take them again I would want to take lessons from someone like Rick Cittar.  They have fun and they play fun music.  My lessons, although very good, were less than fun and entertaining.  It became a bit of a chore to go to piano lessons EVERY week…

Rick Cittar primarily teaches guitar lessons and bass guitar lessons.  So if you or your child are interested in getting into music, this is a good way to learn and have fun at the same time.  Rick even has a student jam band that gets together to play and grow as musicians.  You can see pictures of the student jam band sessions by clicking the link at the bottom of this article.

But what if you are actually looking for a live music band to hire?  Maybe you have an event coming up?  Or maybe a wedding?  Well you can hire Rick’s band, Li’l Ricky Blues, to come and play at your event, wedding, restaurant or anything where you’d like to have some live music, and make it a day to remember.

Rick Cittar is a CityScoop Local Expert.  You can visit his CityScoop website where he publishes free information and tips all about music and lessons and his band for hire.  Click the link below to visit his CityScoop website and/or contact him today.

Marriage is a One-Way Street | But the right Divorce Attorney can get you back on the road.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Getting married is like leaving a parking lot where they have the one-way spikes on the ground.  No really…

When you drive over the one-way security spikes in the RIGHT direction, you roll over them no problem and they slide right down to the ground, simply submitting to the slight pressures it takes to travel in this low-friction direction.  And of course, if you were to turn around and drive right back into the spikes going the wrong way you would lose your tires and all of a sudden find yourself traveling at a much slower pace. 

The reason this relates to divorce is because getting married is easy; it’s like going over the security spikes the right way, allthewhile realizing the innate danger involved in such a journey.  But besides the costs of the wedding (which can be kept to a minimum ladies), getting married is easy and not too expensive. 

But when you want to get divorced, it’s like driving over those one-way spikes the WRONG way.  It’s very costly, painful and you end up moving at a much slower pace (in life) afterward.

That’s why I say don’t get divorced!  If you’re going to get divorced, then don’t get married!  If you want to get married, then don’t divorced!  

But in all seriousness that’s not fair to say, nor is it remotely realistic.  Many people have and cherish the dream of one day getting married and I’m no one to tarnish that image.  And plus it’s not even realistic to think people aren’t going to get married, no matter what you tell them.  And so does anyone know the reason why that is?   Does anyone know why marriage, in a sense, is inevitable? 

Because of alcohol! :-D  Yeah!

“I loooveee you sooooo muuch, (hickup!) leet’sss geet  maairiies! (Hickup!)

Oh it happens.  It happens in Vegas all the time…

Realistically I know there are a million reasons why people get married, not just because they were drunk in Vegas and made a whimsical decision.  But for what ever reason to get married, it seems like there are just as many reasons that people have to divorce.

So life happens as they say and sometimes things just don’t work out.  And so if you have to get a divorce then you have to make a good decision.  You need a great divorce lawyer who’s going to present you and your interests.  You need someone who’s been in business for a long time and has enough credentials to publish a small newspaper’s worth of content.  You need someone who’s not going to blow one of the biggest decisions you’re making in your life.
