Have you ever wondered how to speak with a live person quickly at any business? Are you one of the millions of people suffering from IVRS? It was right after I moved out of my parents house and got my own place that I discovered I had this problem.  I had a really hard time contacting people and even though they wanted to help me, I just got the run around. But then I found the answer. I didn’t need to suffer anymore from Interactive Voice Response Systems. I got back control of my time and my life, and now you can too. Just visit www.gethuman.com to enter the company name or business that you want to call, and they’ll show you direct steps to avoid wasting time and pressing numbers, so that you can speak with a live person immediately. Because no one needs to suffer from IVRS anymore.

Generally speaking, we all know that our HOA dues are used for good purposes like keeping up the landscaping, cleaning out the trash and keeping out the riff raff by making sure the rules are followed. Well a Florida HOA  sprung into action recently to stop an unlicensed business from infiltrating and destroying it’s community. Was it a crack house or prostitution ring? Did they go after an organized crime gambling outfit? No, they strongarmed a group of 10 year old kids selling .25 cent cups of lemonade. Now we can add a lemonade stand to the list of small businesses at risk of going under.

It’s a good thing Felice Cohen doesn’t suffer from claustrophobia, because she lives in what could be the smallest apartment in the world.The tiny 12 feet by 7 feet New York apartment measures under 90 sq ft and is so small that she sleeps inches from her ceiling. She says the cramped conditions are worth it because she saves money on rent and gets to live in New York City for just $700 a month while her neighbors pay $3,000. I’m sure they don’t have a panic attack every time they go to bed.
