So I got an email forward tonight from Lisa. She’s been in my dad’s side of the family for so long that I consider her another aunt. Her and my aunt (the one who just came back from Aruba) have been friends since they were like 2 years old.

I’m not normally into email forwards because I feel that for the most part they’re completely useless. This one, however, kind of stood out. I’m just going to list it here and see if anyone can get anything out of it. Trust me…I’m sure you will.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

FOUR. ! When you say, “I love you,” mean it.

FIVE. When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

SEVEN. Believe in love at first! sight.

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.

TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

FIFTEEN. Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

Interesting….eh?

I’m involved with quite a few companies where you get paid for blog advertising. The only company to ever follow through with their payment has been PayPerPost.com.

I logged into my account today to see what was around to post about and I was instantly drawn to my account statistics. I’ve made over $100 from this company, and I know for a fact that it’s the ONLY company to actually pay me for all of my posts. I only had to post 12 blog entries in order to make $108.50 from it. Each post couldn’t have taken me more than 5 minutes to write. So that seriously averages to $100 an hour, god it must be nice to make that kind of money. No wonder lawyers are so greedy with legal fee’s sometimes.

It’s nice to work with a company that gives you everything they promise. I think that’s the real reason I love PayPerPost.com so much. I’m waiting very patiently for them to offer stocks to their users. I’d so cash out of Verizon for them to show my support.

I have to admit that I’m very jealous though. There are earners involved with PPP that have literally made $2,500-$3,000 just for blogging. Maybe if I can get my ass in gear and post a little more often I’ll be able to earn enough through posting to cover some upcoming Christmas purchases…what do you think?

Another cool thing about PPP is the fact that they actually heart me enough to make me one of their featured bloggers. If a company shows that much care in regards to making their postee’s feel like part of the family then how can you not love them? I swear I’m sending them huge boxes of cookies for Christmas. I wonder if FedEx will be able to handle me this year. I have so much to ship out to family around the US that I may just need to rent out a truck and go on a road trip haha.

In any event, back to work I go. I’m trying to configure gallery2 for a client and although I finally have it working I now need to get the CSS to show up properly. My head is seriously spinning right now because of it :ugh:

Later gators!

So I went to the library with the boyfriend today to do some in-house research into the wonderful world of Grants. I was having a really hard time finding good resources online, which is a shocker to me because I always find the best resources…so we packed up my laptop and headed on down.

I’m a bit upset with how things went though…fuck that – down right depressed. I found no new information, whatsoever. I still have no idea how to go about writing up a formal grant. I still have no idea on where to look to find a grant organization to submit to either. grants.gov isn’t really of any use to me for the time being, because again – I DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO WRITE ONE.

So basically it’s been a shitty day, financially. I’m behind on work, I’m gonna get that done tomorrow. I had a ‘personal’ weekend to take because of some shit going on around here so hopefully I’ll be back on track with everything soon. I need to send my laptop out to be fixed. It really is just the top layer that’s scratched because I can easily see letters (every clearly) behind the scratch. I hope it’s just a quick fix that won’t cost me anything. I would seriously run into a huge emotional spiral if I had to shell out money to fix something that’s under warrenty considering the system itself runs at 100%.

For now, Bella’s passed out (and snoring rather loudly) next time. I guess that’s a key sign that I need to get my ass to sleep. My eyes are about to pop out of my head anyway.

Night all…

Note: I’ve been getting A LOT of emails from people telling me that they ‘completed offers’ under one of my referrals. In order to have a completed offer you need to pull out a credit card and go through the process of signing up for one of the offers listed on the site. Creating an account and typing in an email address is NOT completing an offer. If that were the case, I’d have made like $540,000 from just nb4f.com considering I have over 300 sign-ups under my referral. So make sure you’ve used a credit card to purchase something under your offers panel before you email me. It’s just a waste of my time…and your’s if you aren’t going to do something the right way and just drag me along with you.

It’s been a pretty hectic week. Between house sitting and mounds of work I haven’t had any real time to relax. I’m going home tonight though, so it’ll be nice to crash in my own bed.

I’m still behind on emails but I’m slowly catching up. My spam filter isn’t really deleting what it’s supposed to so I’m going to have to change the preferences and go from there.

I need to send my laptop out for servicing. I’m gonna do it when I go away with the boyfriend because I don’t really need to have my computer that week since I can use his. The reason for sending it out is because of another monitor issue. This time it was completely my fault and I take full responsibility for it. I dropped my clip board on it and it took off the protective layer. I’ll call it in a few days before I leave. I’ll have it sent out from his house…it’s easier for me. I have my external hard drive so I can still get to my files when I need to…I’m not overly concerned about it at this point.

I’ve been cleaning the house ALL DAY. This place is covered in cat hair and dust and my allergies have been fucked the whole time I’ve been here. It’s all cleaned up now though…about as clean as it can get. I swear if I could afford it I’d replace all the furniture in the house (most of it’s broken in the living room anyway) and then I’d slip cover it for full cat protection. I love this house though, don’t get me wrong. I just always make the mistake of wearing black pants when I’m here and the rest is history.

And speaking of cats…Figgy is making himself very known in regards to wanting to play so I guess I’ll just end this here. I’m heading home tonight after 7, I don’t think I’ll be around until tomorrow afternoon when I’ve settled in and have my laundry done. It’s easier to concentrate that way…you know?

I’ll be spending the next few days with the boyfriend too so who knows what’ll happen with my ‘net time. I can get my clients done while he’s here, that’s the beauty part of dating a computer nerd…he brings his own :heh:

Happy Veterans Day! I already promised Dad he’d get whatever he wants for dinner tomorrow. Lord knows no one else is going to hand him anything. I really just don’t understand why everyone has a Veterans Day sale. It’s not like a new leather couch has ANYTHING to do with War. So I figure since he was in Vietnam, I’ll just throw some steaks on the BBQ heh. That’s about as American as you can get…right?
