I learned two new things today that I must share with everyone.
First, if you need some work done and it can be done virtually, check out www.elance.com . This website allows for you to register the job you need - i.e. transcribing, copying files, illustrating, and people will "bid" on the job. Couple of really good things I like about the service: You get an expert and you only need to pay for the time you need them. Your expert could be someone with world wide exposure offering a service you might not be able to receive locally. What I do not like: the expert might be in another country and therefore, you are not helping the local economy.
Another really good thing about www.elance.com , military spouses could use the service to stay employed while moving with their active duty spouse.
Backyard Produce...if you are on Facebook, make sure you "like" their page. Then visit their website at www.byproduce.com . What an amazing concept! How it works:
Baskets are delivered to your home or office and are completely customizable based on the local and organic selections we receive from our farmers and producers.
Subscriptions are for weekly delivery, but Backyard Produce offers the option to place a hold on your delivery if you wish not to receive one.
Backyard Produce works with our farmers and producers to bring you a selection of organic and local produce, breads, cheese, & dry goods each week, which is posted to the website each Thursday afternoon. You are able to place your order between this time and Saturday at 11:59pm.
If you choose not to customize your order with the points Backyard Produce will email and post to Facebook page the weekly "Variety Basket" every Friday.
Leave the rest up to Backyard Produce. Backyard Produce will contact their farmers with quantities, pack up your orders, and deliver them to your home or office. By the way, Backyard Produce delivers to Havelock and New Bern.
