I like to go back and try to recollect people and events in the past that had added to our newspapers. How far back I’m going I don’t know but here we go!!! I would like to talk about Veterans first then next month more info.
Many years ago I bought the Lady Lake Magazine with a friend and his wife.
I would later hire a great sales person Wendy Netherclift. She is still a great friend her and her significant other who was my biggest client for many years Bob Irwin of Bob’s Coins and Jewelry near the Villages. Wendy retired and Bob retired and now they are living the dream. They are great friends of my wife and I.
Wendy and I tripled the revenue a a year and a half later. The partnership would later be changed and I would become a silent partner. After my non compete was well over I decided to buy a publication in Ocala (not in the same territory) called the Seniors Voice of North Central Florida. I ask my friend if if Lady Lake Magazine was available to buy? My partner friend and his wife contacted me and said they had made arrangements to sell their percentage to me. We came to an agreement and here I was with two newspapers. Continue reading

Boy are we getting an education in the medical world. My wife was recently moved to a new Medical Doctor. I did not see anything wrong with the doctor that she had but she was talked into it.
While at a Ophthalmologists they found some problem with her eye’s. They ask for a full heart workup. They said she needed a full Heart workup and check the blood flow, check for blood clots, Check the carotid artery’s and finally they found bad blood flow in her legs. So they stop the big artery from flowing and hope the small vessels will take over. This is going to happen on four artery’s two in each leg. On her third visit from Dunnellon to Ocala the nurse Practitioner that had taken over from the Heart doctor suddenly wants to put her on three different kinds of Prescription medications and want to see her back in four weeks. Npw we have a family doctor / Ophthalmologists / a Heart Specialist and a Nurse Practitioner. Something is not right!!! They want her on Blood Pressure meds / Cholesterol meds / and etc just in case. This robs your body of it’s effectiveness to heal it’s self and rob the Insurance company and you wallet. Where do you go to find out what is necessary? It sounds to me like three different doctors want her under their care.The original Heart Specialist is no longer seeing her. I am going to demand to see each Specialist and ask what gives???
