Do you wish you could move overseas and work and live abroad? I certainly know that I do! But moving to another country is not as easy as it appears. I would love to be able to move to a new country and start a business but you typically need to have a lot of cash to do that. However a lot of countries have immigration programs that make it a bit easier for professionals and skilled tradespeople to move abroad. Interested in working abroad? Here are a few tips I found.
Australia and Canada allows entry for both professionals and skilled tradespeople. Probably at the moment it is easier to gain entry to Australia than to Canada, the UK or the US. Historically Australia has been an attractive destination Country for people from the UK. In recent years there has been an increase in immigration to Australia from Asian Countries. The UK and Canada also have very successful skilled migration programmes. A migrant who eventually gains British citizenship can then work freely throughout the EU.  If you have a job offer then it may be possible to gain entry to the US.

Well, the year is almost over. And that means one thing for all of you business owners out there. Just a few more days to make purchases that you can write off for the year! You may also want to pre-pay any bills that you can to lower your tax liability. So, book those airline tickets and buy those laptops before Thursday!

You know, society often pits women against each other. So when you see two women that were pitted against each other playing nice it is a good thing. Lindsay Lohan is taking on that role. Apparently it was big news today that she wrote a blog about Britney Spears. In fact, she was giving Brit congrats on getting her life back on track. So congrats to Lindsay for stepping up like that and not falling prey to society’s pressure to cat fight.

I keep seeing a commercial for something called The Snuggie. It is supposed to be a blanket. But if you have seen the commercial you will notice something. It’s not just a blanket. It is a robe! Have you seen these commercials? It is just people waering robes backwards. You can check it out at https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next. Check out the video on the page. It is the same commercial that I keep seeing on TV.

Are you a fan of Tina Fey? I loved her when she was on SNL as a regular. And I loved when she came back to SNL this year playing Sarah Palin. Well, it seems that other people love her too. In fact, the Associated Press has picked Tina Fey as their entertainer of the year for 2008. She was selected by AP members as the performer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008. You can read more on Yahoo.

Marriage is an everyday thing. And it seems like divorce is becoming just as common! It makes you wonder why people do not work it out. Or at least try that is. It seems that they cared enough to get married. So why not keep caring and work through it? Of course, if you do decide to work through it how long does that last? How long do you keep trying with it?

Did you see the mention of this on Yahoo? Apparently Khloe Kardashian was caught wearing fur. Why is this a big deal? Easy. She apparently has done some stuff with PETA! In fact she is a spokesperson for her. People have been calling her out on blogs all over the web.

These days a lot of moms are working outside the home. However there are also a number of moms that are stay at home moms. What does society deem acceptable? Both it seems. However, that does not make it any easier for the working moms. In fact, a large number of working moms suffer from working mom’s guilt. They are finding it hard to balance working with raising kids. But for some the work is a situation where they have to work to support the family. Do you have working moms guilt?

There has been a lot of speculation about Hillary Clinton’s senate seat. Lots of names have been tossed out there. Seems that Caroline Kennedy wants Hillary’s senate seat. And she wants it bad. But the gov. of New York does not seem to favor her. And some are saying that she has not earned it. While others are saying that the Kennedy name entitles her to it. Wonder where this will end? A person that turned their back on Hillary wants her senate seat? Hrm.
