12seonds.tv – My Web Tips
hayencompany on 12seconds.tv Cmon’!!! Why must I look like that. Arg. Oh Well! Enjoy the Daily Tips. Some might be offered more frequently. Daily Tip #1 came as a followup bump from Wesley Donehue’s tip for Mint.com. If you don’t know Wesley Donehue or his wife, Elizabeth Donehue, then you’re missing out. These two are what I consider the powerhouse couple. Each has their own company(s) (Wesley – Under The Power Lines and Elizabeth – Donehue Agency) and both are active in the community and in matters of faith. Get to know them a little better by clicking on the links I’ve attached to their names. Hope this post doesn’t turn the Donehue’s red 
Just giving thumbs up to some great people in South Carolina.
