T.G.I.F.
It's an absolutely beautiful morning here at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania. Low humidity, temps only supposed to go into the 80's.... We're in for a Fantastic day!!!
Yesterday was a GREAT day as well.
Betty and I took off fairly early yesterday morning so we could get to the bank and get to her son John's for me to have a look at his computer.
John was waiting for us as his computer's been down now for several days and he REALLY misses it especially now that he's "laid up" and trapped at home waiting to heal enough to go back to work.
Whatever happened to his computer it put it in a sad shape... Every time it was booted it went into the dreaded, "blue screen of death". Try to "boot" it up in the "safety mode" and there again was the blue screen.... Try to "boot" it up to a C prompt and the blue screen again and it just would not go anywhere....
I couldn't get to the CD ROM Drive as it would not let me get to any kind of prompt to transfer it to there so I could re-install Windows XP.... It seemed hopeless. Then I got the idea that got us out of the fix. I tried to "re-boot" again and this time I went to the computer "set up" files... There isn't a whole lot you can do in there as you can't boot from there but there was one important thing I COULD do and that was to change the "boot up disk" from drive C to the CD ROM drive... which I did. I pushed "save and exit" and then I shut down the computer.
I turned the computer on for a few seconds, just long enough to open the CD Rom drive and place the Windows XP disk in it and closed it. I then shut the computer down again and restarted it..... This time when it started it went right to the CD Rom Drive and booted right into "Windows Set Up". Perfect as this is what we wanted!!!! I went to re-install Windows XP and it told me it would have to re-format the C drive. That was also perfect as John wanted to re-format the drive anyway!
From there on it was just a "waiting game" for Windows to re-format the drive and to load all of Window's XP files. It would stop once in a while for information to be typed in but from there on it was pretty much "gravy."
After that was done I re-booted and went back in to basic "computer set-up" and reset the "boot" drive for C again and that was it.
Of course I knew John would have to spend the afternoon loading all of his "drivers" and programs back into it. At that time, it was just like the computer was brand new!
We then decided to go out and eat some lunch. We all went in my Jeep and John treated. When we got back to his place I commented on how badly his lawn needed mowed. He said, "I have the mower and gasoline out in the shed." Okay I said.... this shouldn't take that long.... so while he and Betty went into the house to chit chat while John was loading drivers, I mowed the lawn. By the time that was done I was ready to come home and jump into the tub.
Finally, back in the office, I started to get to the mail I had just picked up.
I really got a lot done yesterday and felt really good about that...
*******************************************
I have a lot to do today before I start my weekend but it really doesn't matter as most of my weekend I'm afraid I'll be in my office anyway as with the month is ending on Sunday, I'm in for a lot of work as I must get done the "end of the month" stuff like the Once A Month Association, the Newsletter, monthly statements, and the OAMA Monthly Member Benefit Directory, and of course the checks etc.
Then of course this month also, the two downline builders are running out on Sunday evening. The $2=SUCCESS downline builder, Phase VIII, and the Pre-Launch downline builder. I'll be writing newsletters for both and designing "Sign-Up" Packets for both programs. Then, this coming week, I'll be running downline statements for both..... Yes, this new month, August, starting Monday is going to be VERY busy around here!
*******************************************
I'm really, actually looking forward to all of it though as everything is coming together just fine with the downline builder $2=SUCCESS Phase VIII, and also the Pre-Launch program for the Elements business program. Yep, we're going to place a lot of folks into the downlines of both programs, and there are going to be a lot of VERY HAPPY home business people that had enough fore-sight to get into the programs and promote them! A LOT OF PEOPLE!!!
********************************************
Well, as mentioned above, lots to get done today, so for me, it's time to get back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Weekend!!!

It's a beautiful sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania and the humidity is supposed to go down as the day progresses. That's just fine as far as I'm concerned. I can use some cooler days... Looks like we may be in for a GREAT weekend.
This will be a busy weekend as the end of the month is Sunday and I must get done the "end of the month" stuff like the Once A Month Association, the Newsletter, monthly statements, and the OAMA Monthly Member Benefit Directory, and of course the checks etc. That's a job and a half and I'll be looking forward to getting all of it done... It will probably me late Sunday until it's finished. This weekend will find me in the office a lot.
I never did get a chance to check out Betty's son John's computer yesterday as when we got there he wasn't home! Now that the guy's on his feet it's hard to keep up with him. I'll try to run down today if I can get some time to check it out.
Things are starting to back up a bit and I do have two downline builders running out on the 31st of this month. The $2=SUCCESS downline builder, Phase VIII, and the Pre-Launch downline builder.
Pretty soon it will be time for newsletters and joining kits to assemble and mail to all the down-liners in both programs.
************************************
It looks like we need another Supreme Court Justice, (yeah, you bet, like another hole in the head...) Bush has nominated John G. Roberts Jr. for the position and right away someone throws up a web site to give us, (you and I), and chance to sign a petition to confirm him to the job. Of course on the same site they also want you to click the button that says, "Donate to help us confirm Judge Roberts".....
Click right here to see this gem.
I must have missed something here.... The current president, George W. Bush nominates this dude for the biggest "gravy" job in the United States court system and they are trying to "squeeze" more money out of us to put him in... What would they need the money for, to advertise on television or radio? What better press could he get other than a nod from the current president? These damn politicians are ALWAYS out for more money! They just never can get their hands on enough of the green stuff.
Let's face it, once this dude gets appointed, he's there for life!
That's another thing that's bothered me since I was a kid. Most of the time I've never questioned the intentions of our forefathers as most of the time they were wise and their writings prove it.
But why in the heck would you appoint someone to a life time position on the highest court in the land....
Believe me I've seen a lot of 70 - 80 - and 90 year olds that barely knew where they were at, let alone what was moral dress codes for the beaches these days...
These folks are actually controlling our lives, all U. S. citizens, and some are too old to know what's acceptable and what's not for the times we live in...
What will it take for us to use A LITTLE COMMON SENSE and put some office term limits on these people? How damn dumb is everyone???? Wait a minute, better not answer that as you might learn just how severe the Patriot Act is and end up in the clinker. You know the law they passed in the middle of the night.......
The law that was meant to protect us after 9-11.... The law that says now the government can come into your private home anytime they please and they don't even need a "search warrant"! Yep, that's the one...
Okay, okay.... I'll stop ranting..... It's just that every time I think of the government getting bigger and bigger and us ending up with less rights, it upsets me as when the subject does come up in conversation, most people I talk to don't give a darn. After all, nothing bad will happen to them because it always happens to the next guy, right?
No one will come into their homes at 3 o'clock in the morning with automatic weapons tearing their house up looking for income tax records that you may have "forgotten" to claim, or to take whatever weapons you have to protect yourself and you family that the constitution guarantees you.... Naw... that would NEVER happen to you as you are an "upstanding member" of your community. I sure hope that it never does...... But it just bothers me that it IS possibility now the way they have passed and manipulated new laws to allow this sort of action...
*********************************
Oops, there I go, rambling again. I did want to "cover" a couple of other things but they'll have to wait until tomorrow as I have piles of work on my desks staring at me and they won't get any smaller by me staring back at 'em..... soooooooo for me it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Thursday!!!

It's a sunny day here at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania but it's still VERY hot and VERY humid. Our weather forecasters are promising us just one more day of this ungodly weather and then it's supposed to do some cooling off. Thank goodness... it's just too darn hot to do anything out doors... at least for this old codger anyway.. I wanted to get down to the river and stake up my tomatoes but I'll have to wait 'til it cools a bit. If I try to do it now, I'll probably just stay down there and burn fast to the stake! Come to think of it, there are probably a couple of people that wouldn't mind me being burned at the stake! But that's another story....... Ha!
Enough for wishful thinking!
I received a letter yesterday that my pre-paid monthly dues had run out for one of my favorite companies that I promote, Tape Of The Month. This is the company that I use my small downline builder, the $2=SUCCESS downline builder, Phase VIII to promote it.
I usually pay my dues 6 months in advance and that saves me from putting it on one of my charge calls or paying it monthly. It makes it a lot easier. I'm sure glad they sent me a reminder when my pre-paid dues are running out as I'd sure hate to lose a monthly commission check from missing to pay them! The commission check is a heck of a lot more than 6 months worth of dues, heck even worth more than a years worth of dues, that's for sure! I like dealing with the Tape Of The Month company (ID #14338) as they are VERY professional in everything they do. In the 3 or so years I've been with them they have NEVER been late with a commission check, monthly newsletter etc. They have always been true to their word and provide an 800 toll free number with very nice people at the other end to answer all my questions... Can't beat it with a stick!
*******************************************
I rented a movie at our library day before yesterday called, "Hitch", and we watched it last evening. I normally like Will Smith any way and I really like Kevin James, from "King of Queens", but this movie really out performed my expectations! Whoever did the casting on this movie could not have chosen two actors who really fit the roles better than Will and Kevin.... I thought it was a comedy and it was, but it was also a love story as well. I'm personally NOT "into" love stories but this is one movie that I must make an exception for! I'm a movie "freak" and I swear this is the best one I've seen in months. I don't recall this movie being a "giant" hit at the box office but I think we must have missed this one for some reason. If you're looking for a great movie for you and your spouse to watch for fun and drama, then rent this one... You won't be sorry...
The kids won't like this one unless they're older though so wait 'til you and your better half can see it together....
*******************************************
It seems that Betty's son John's computer went to the dreaded "blue screen of death" day before yesterday and I want to try and get some time to stop down at his place today and have a look at it.
I think the main problem with his computer is that it has "Dell" written on the front of it! It's been nothing but a hassle since he bought it and (over paid for it), as well.
I remember last Fall he wanted to upgrade the memory and he found a good deal on 500 megs..... He went to install it and found out that only original Dell memory would fit his computer! He paid about $60 bucks for the stick but when he checked to see what Dell wanted they had to have almost $400 for the same amount of memory! Needless to say, John still has the same amount of RAM in his box as he had last Fall!
******************************************
I still have plenty that I must do before I head out to the Post Office and some other errands today, so for me, it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!

It's another beautiful sunny, but VERY hot AND humid morning here in Central Pennsylvania. Seems like almost every day brings thunderstorms here lately.
The rabbits around here must really thrive in this heat as it seems every time I turn around I see a few more small ones about the same size. (Out of the same litter.) Also, we have a baby ground hog, (wood chuck) hanging around right outside my office door. That's what scares me, I sure hope he's not living under the office or what ever..
They are really a damage prone animal.
I don't know if I ever told you the story of when I was a kid, back on the farm ... but here it is anyway......
I had just plowed this pretty nice sized field. I'd say about 20 some acres and went out the next day to run the disc harrows over it. For you city folks, this machine, the disc harrows breaks up the clumps of soil into fine soil and prepares it for seeding.
Well, apparently the day before when I plowed the field I had plowed up a ground hog hole....... Over night mister ground hog decided to open his den back up....
When you run the harrows you can go pretty fast as you want to break up the earth chunks as fast and fine as you can. Well, there I was moving up and down that field at a "pretty good clip" when darned if I didn't hit that ground hog hole "dead center" with the front "tri-cycle" wheels of the Farmall Model Super C tractor I was driving and broke off the front wheels completely! There I sat in the middle of the field with the front of the tractor sitting on the ground and the two tri-cycle wheels lying beside the tractor.
First of all I had to walk all the way back to the barn and implement shed. That was the EASY part. When my dad came home that afternoon and saw the damage he told me that I'd have to fix the tractor right out in the middle of the field where I broke it.
He took me up to New Bloomfield to the International Harvester store, (as I was too young to have my driver's license yet), and bought all the parts I'd need to do the job. So far so good.....
The next day I loaded all the parts and tools onto our pickup truck and headed out to the field to do the job.
As I started the job I realized that I was getting bitten all over my legs.... I found out that darn ground hog had built his den right in the middle of a red ant mound!!!!
Not too long after I discovered that I was getting it all over my body...
It took me a hair over 2 days to do that job and I was a mess.... I looked like one big ant bite and only felt comfortable when I was soaking in a cool tub of water... For another week I was in bad shape..
That's why, to this day, I don't have any love wasted on ground hogs.... NONE AT ALL!!!
I don't kill anything anymore but I would like to get rid of this ground hog that's been hanging around here lately.... I'll just have to wait and see if I can learn where his den is....

The Beginning of a brand new week!
It's a beautiful, sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania. We had massive thunderstorms over night here that woke me up at least 4 times. I haven't had a chance to walk through the yard as of yet to see how many tons of limbs were knocked out of the trees, but I'm sure it will take a while to clean up. This after the humidity dropped over the weekend and I did get time to finally mow the yard. I have a small piece yet to mow right down at the river and I didn't get to that as it just never gets shady there and I must wait until just before dark to mow that.
They, the weather folks are calling for it to get very humid, AGAIN, today with the highs in the 90s so it looks like we're headed back to a remake of last week.
Betty and her son John's birthday was yesterday so I guess I should say their birthday weekend was fine. As both were born on the same birthday, they never have JUST a birthday it's always a Birthday Week or a Birthday Weekend...
It did turn out GREAT this year, more so than usual because we were so relieved that John came through his liver transplant.
We all met at a reunion over in West Fairview across the river from where Betty and I live and John and Betty had a great time and received plenty of gifts.
Then yesterday, on Betty's actual birthday her son Diz bought her and I both a nice dinner down at our favorite Chinese Restaurant for her birthday.
Even the young folks at the Chinese Restaurant got in on the fun. Take a look at the birthday "platter" that one of the young ladies made up for Betty and several of them sang "happy birthday" to her. She was REALLY pleased with that!!
Yes, I'd say the two Birthday people, Betty and John had yet another wonderful birthday this year, as always!!!!
*************************************
As I mentioned, I got a lot of yard work done and so did Betty over the weekend. Also, right at the end of last week I took time to "scrub" our back deck and re-water proof it. I don't like the new waterproofing "stuff" and am seriously thinking of doing it all over again. I hate to do it as it's sure "a job and a half" but maybe I'll wait 'til next summer as I have so much to get done here before FALL...
I should have known better... when you use something that you like the results, DON'T change the MO, (method of operation), to something different! I just DOESN'T pay!
****************************************
This is going to be a GREAT day for some work here in my office because, as I mentioned, it's going to be hotter than heck outdoors...
I still have plenty to do before my trip to the post office as this, being Monday, there should be a ton of mail waiting on me....
More tips tomorrow for Home workers, and home business owners.... In the meantime it's back to work for me and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!

T.G.I.F.
WE had a drenching, torrential downpour here yesterday evening for about 2 hours.. Local flooding all over the place. Small streams and creeks... I don't think it will affect the mighty Susquehanna River that runs through out back yard that much, just the smaller streams that go up and down real fast.
We were out driving in it some and it was hard to see "your hand in front of your face!" We received a phone call from Betty's son John around noontime yesterday to let us know they were headed back home by train and needed someone to pick 'em up at the train station in Harrisburg about 3:45 PM and take them home... So we rapped things up here at the house and my office and headed down to get them. We no sooner got them home and got the Jeep unloaded of John's wheel chair and bags and got them in his house when we got back into the Jeep it started pouring "cats & dogs!"
Incidentally John and Debbie finally received his test results yesterday morning and he is NOT rejecting his new liver! They just needed to adjust his "rejection" medicine to some extent. That's why he got to come home with Debbie.... We, Betty and I are so glad for them.... Looks like John's luck is still holding out for him!
After we dropped them off it seemed so late and we were hungry so we headed for our favorite Chinese Restaurant, The PA Grand Buffet down below Harrisburg.
Betty treated and we had a wonderful dinner. We then had to stop at Costco's and pick up some things for Saturday. We weren't going to go out until today but now, since we had to go out yesterday, we can stay home and get some work done today.
I have tons of "stuff" that need to be "addressed" here in the office and Betty wants to give her self a permanent today.
Looks like things may work out pretty well here today. I hope your day is going well also.

In the home mail order business you must advertise to sell anything. You just can't hang a sign on the door that says, "Hi, I'm in the mail order business, please stop in and buy something from me."
One of the best advertising methods is still promotional direct mailing. To have any kind of success with our direct mailings, we need the best mailing list that we can find....
If you are looking for a new category of mailing lists or a specific target market, Listfinder allows you to stay up-to-date on available lists and find the sources for the lists you need. You get free access to over 50,000 list data cards. Click this link to check it out: Listfinder
Now, if like me, you "work" the "inner circle" of mail order and just need a good opportunity seekers list, then check out my names here: Chuck's Mailing Lists
My lists are from folks who mail their inquires and orders directly to me. They do not contain names from any other source. I also CASS Certify each list before it's mailed and send each list order by 2 day priority mail at no extra cost to you! These are people who are working in mail order either full time or part time and lots of them are beginners who need your help and perhaps your programs and products for their new businesses.
Now, here's one more place to get your opportunity names and buyers..... This is where I get mine when I run out of my own names doing a special mailing or whatever. Just Click here for all the information and don't forget to note that Terry, (Terry Thomas List Owner), guarantees his names to the point that he will refund you up to 50¢ each for nixie!!! Now you can't beat a guarantee like that one!

It's an absolutely beautiful sunny morning here at the Blue Bird Cottage this morning but the weather folks are calling for the high humidity to set back in today. Oh well, it's better than rain, I suppose.
I went for the abdominal scan yesterday at the Cardiologist's and it went quite well. All must be okee-dookie as I don't even have a follow-up appointment with him until December. Unless, of course I have any heart problems arise.
We did some grocery shopping after the doctor's appointment but still got home pretty early.
(Hot dog! It looks like the gasoline prices are dropping at least a little again.) I sure hope that trend continues.
Yesterday afternoon turned out to be pretty nice with the humidity dropping to some extent. I still couldn't mow the "lower 40" down along the river where it REALLY needs mowed bad, but the lower humidity did give me a chance to work on the back deck. I scrubbed it 3 times, and then waterproofed it with some new stuff. Most waterproofing chemicals make you wait at least 5 days for it to dry. (If you can get 5 days around there without rain), before you can put it on.
This new stuff that I'm trying out, you can put on even while the deck is still wet from the cleaning! Of course it all sounds good but I won't know for awhile until it all dries out and we get a rain or something, then I'll be able to see if it is actually protecting the wood.
Boy, I certainly hope so as that's a job and a half, (our deck is pretty big,) and I'd hate to do all of that work for nothing!
After looking at it this morning, the wood looks too light. I think I like the way the old type of water proofing looks... (Well, cut corners and the job just doesn't turn out as nice.) At any rate, if it does the job of waterproofing, it will have to do for this year.... Maybe I'll go back to the old way again, next year....
It's still not completely dry yet so it could STILL turn a better looking shade.
***********************************
Betty's son John and his wife Debbie are still down in Philadelphia. They didn't get any news last night as to how the liver biopsy had turned out, so they had to take another hotel room until they are sure if John must stay down there or can come home. Betty just called down and they haven't heard anything as of yet... I hope the test turns out well and they can just come home. We'll just have to wait and see.....

I got a call from my bank yesterday that one of my customers had "bounced" a check on me for $5 Bucks! Actually it didn't "bounce" for lack of funds, the check was written on a closed account!!! Nice guy, right? They, my bank, told me that I had to write them a "letter of permission" for them to deduct the $5 from my checking account as at that moment MY account was "frozen." I couldn't just tell them over the phone. I had to type up a letter and sign it and fax it to them.... All for a lousy $5 check that the person knew would "bounce" as HE KNEW his account was closed. What the heck is wrong with people? What goes through their minds when they decide to screw someone out of 5 bucks.... Which incidentally never ends up being the amount on the check as you know the bank charges us an EXTRA charge for their time and trouble.
Now, I must try and locate this idiot and tell him that he now owes much more than he originally wrote the check for. Of course he won't care as he already knew it would "bounce" when he wrote it.. What he doesn't know is that if he doesn't take care of it, he will get a year of FREE advertising from me. That means that I will advertise his name and address and any other information I can find out about him on the WEB, in my Newsletter/Magazine, Chuck's Mail Order News & Opportunities and several national tabloids. He will be in a special column of his own titled, "The Dead Beat Of The Year!"
Maybe after a year of that, he'll have a problem with ANYONE excepting his bad checks!
Good for him!

It's still a very hot morning but the humidity is a bit lower than it's been the last several days... It's also bright and sunny though and should be a nice day. Hopefully it will, as they're calling for it to be a bit more "livable" over this coming weekend... I just would like to get caught up some over the next few days with my lawn mowing... I sure hope so as it's getting to look like a Jungle around here.
*********************************
We took John and his wife Deb down to the train station for a 2:40 PM departure to Philadelphia yesterday. Everything went pretty smooth and they called last evening to tell us all had gone well and they were in the hotel that's connected right to the hospital. He'll be going for his liver biopsy this morning and should know by 6 this evening the results of that. If he must stay for a few days for "steroid" treatment, Deb will be coming back home by herself so she can go to work. Looks like they took enough "stuff" along to stay there for quite awhile. Betty and I are anxious to find out the results as well..... We're all hoping of course that John's blood "readings" that were high last week were that way from something other than his liver being rejected by his body. We'll know for sure by this time tomorrow.

***********************************
I ordered Betty's birthday present on line yesterday. (Her birthday is the Sunday as well as her son John's.) Yep, John was born on his mother's birthday! Pretty neat right? At any rate I almost always buy most birthday gifts online as it's really the best place where you can get the most "bang" for your buck! I checked locally and what I ordered for Betty would cost me over 3 times what it did on the web. I can't tell you what I ordered, as once in a while she decides to read these posts and I don't want to "let the cat out of the bag." We ordered John's main gift from the web as well. John's like me, he's into electronic "stuff" so he's easy to buy for... I sure hope he's home by Sunday, for his birthday.. For the last 23 years we've celebrated John and Betty's birthday mostly at his house. I'd hate to break that tradition this year... I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
************************************
I did get caught up with all my mail yesterday and most of the orders and inquiries. I still have a few things to get done plus, I'd like to get out a nice sized first class promotional mailing today. I need to upload some articles to my online edition of Chuck's Mail Order News & Opportunities too.
Also, I forgot I had a heart doctor's appointment for an abdominal sonar scan this morning before noon. I can't eat until it's over.... and I can't have my morning coffee... Even with the diabetes, I can do without the eating without too much problem. However, doing without the coffee, that's another matter. Even though I only drink de-caffeinated, I STILL need my morning Java! I know I'm going to be one miserable camper until after the scan is over and I can have my coffee... All of these darn "tests" drive me nuts, but I guess I can't bitch too much as they DO keep my ass alive...... at least so far anyway......

It's an informative site with directions on how to do just about anything. Loaded with tips and suggestions and fix-it information. How to do it.com

It's another stinking hot day here in Central Pennsylvania. That's enough about the weather.... "bah, humbug"
*********************************
We were supposed to take Betty's son John and his wife Deb down to the train station in Harrisburg for their trip to Philadelphia yesterday afternoon but the hospital called them yesterday morning and rescheduled the appointment for Wednesday morning so we'll have to take them down this afternoon... I know John was all "keyed" up about going but he's taking it pretty good. Poor Deb will have to take tomorrow off from her job as well.. Boy is she ever lucky to work for her boss. He has been bending over backwards with her time off to help John over the last few months...
I'm sure she's really looking forward to everything calming down and getting back to normal....
**********************************
Well, it seems now, here in Pennsylvania, since our legislators have voted themselves record raises and have made themselves the second highest paid legislators in the United States only to California, they came up with a way to make some extra money to cover their shenanigans! Oh sure they say they are going to have our Pennsylvania sales tax cover stuff that up-till-now has been tax exempt. Yep, finally, they've gotten around to taxing necessary items like food and clothing! Yep, unbelievable!
They claim they will use the money to lower or "wipe out" property taxes. Yeah right, believe that and I have a bridge or two that I can give you a GREAT deal on!
Have you EVER seen a tax increased or created that EVER wiped out another tax?
I think they should all be ashamed of themselves, not for just increasing their already bloated salaries, and ignoring the state constitution and allowing themselves to get the raise immediately instead of waiting until their current term is up, but for even thinking about taxing necessities!
You know we started a Revolutionary War over a simple tax on tea! Yes, tea, for god's sake.... Where will all of these taxes stop? Aren't you tired of working more than a half of a year to pay all of your taxes or maybe it sounds lousier if I say HALF OF YOU LIVES for taxes??????
If your state has no such tax don't think you'll always be without it...... Whenever one gets away with stuff like this, the others seem to follow before too long......

The Beginning of a brand new week!
Nothing to report about the weather here in Central Pennsylvania as it's still hazy, hot, and humid and that's in between the thunder storms.... It's like a freekin' Jungle here! we've had the "tail end" of the hurricane Dennis.... now I hope he soon gets out of here!
The only work Betty and I got done over this past weekend was indoor work. We didn't even venture out at all yesterday except to get the Sunday paper.
The humidity around here lately is stifling! Just plain unbearable.... at least for us "golden oldies." Our air conditioners have been working overtime... and our light bill for this month will certainly reflect that extra labor!
If it's a choice between roasting to death and a high electric bill I'm afraid we've both "voted" for the high juice bill....
Seems like Summer is getting shorter around here... Heck another month and a half and September will be here... along with cooler days it will be time to clean the furnace and get it ready for the long cold winter... Geez.... I'm about ready for it already... I know... complain, complain, and complain some more.... I can hear you now, is he ever satisfied???? Heck, I'm starting to wonder that myself... The river has been staying in it's banks where it belongs but there was not much activity on it over the weekend.. Between the rain drops and the unbearable humidity not many braved the weather to enjoy themselves on the river... There were a few "die hards" as there always are... (I've seen folks fishing in December and January!) Yep, as long as there was no ice on the river they were out there all bundled up with about 10 layers of clothing on, fishing there little hearts out.... and probably lovin' every minute of it. Yep, river rat die hards.... Die hards at least for sure!
Betty and I are headed down to her son John's this afternoon to give him and his wife a lift to the train station to leave for Philadelphia so he can be at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, where he got his new liver, for tests early Tuesday morning. Hopefully by Tuesday evening, we'll have more news as to his test results and we'll know if he is rejecting the transplant or not... Of course we're all hoping not, but only time will tell.
John told me that he's not going to worry about it even if he must stay there for awhile or even if something bad happens as he figures he's been very lucky just to receive the transplant and he's had his "go at it", and gave it his best shot. He really has a good optimistic attitude about the whole situation.... Hang in there John-John.....

T.G.I.F.

It's another VERY hot morning here at the Blue Bird Cottage. We had a lot of thunder storms last night. I haven't made a trip through our yard to see how much damage there is and as of yet... Hopefully I'll just have plenty of limbs to clean up.
Betty and I went out to eat last evening at our favorite Chinese Restaurant, The PA Grand Buffet down below Harrisburg. If you live in my area click on the above site and then click again to find a 10% off coupon!
We met Betty's sons, John and Diz and John's wife Debbie there to have a meal with them. That's us to the left. The closest to the camera on the left is John, then John's wife Deb and then Diz. On the right is Betty and that's me, peeking out from behind her.
Since John was in the hospital in Philadelphia all he could talk about was that he couldn't wait to go the Chinese Restaurant to eat Crab Legs! We were there about an hour and a half and REALLY had a good time... John ate more than the other 4 of us put together! I asked him where the heck he was putting all the food and he said in his right leg that he hadn't even started on his left leg yet.... Hmmmmm..... just what I figured, a Hollow leg!
John is going back down to the hospital, as I mentioned in yesterday's post, but it sure hasn't dampened his "sense of humor."
John used his wheel chair to get into the place and sat in it to eat.... although he has been walking with a cane.... I'm sure at the rate he's going, he'll be tossing the wheel chair in another week.
********************************************
Mail order, MLM, and Home Business Owners or just wanna-bees ...........
I had a GREAT mail day yesterday with plenty of orders, inquiries and promo mailings to me. I just LOVE opening up envelopes to find checks, money orders, and cash! Yep, a lot of folks still send cash in the mail. I've already received an order with over $200 in cash to pay for it! Unbelievable right?
I, personally would never send cash but as I said many do. In all the years I've been in this business, since 1983 I've only ever had ONE person write and tell me they sent cash and never received their order. Turns out that over a year later they received a mailing from the postal service. It was a plastic bag with their torn envelope in it AND the $2 cash that they had sent me over a year ago!
There was a note with it that explained that they, (the postal workers), had disassembled an old sorting machine only to find their letter along with a few more caught in the bottom of the machine under some gears. They apologized and sent it back to them rather than forward it to the mailing address they had written on the piece.
So actually in all that time I've never had a piece of mail lost with cash coming to me in it. (Knock on wood!)
I still don't trust sending cash however and when I must make a refund on anything, I always write a check for it. I feel much safer by doing it that way.
Talk about orders yesterday..... The deal I got on for scanning an 8 X 11" circular and putting up on our OAMA Website for just $20 for an entire year is really going over GREAT! I received 3 more orders just yesterday! I'll get all of them up over the weekend, maybe even today. You can see that deal by clicking here: YOUR CIRCULAR 8½ x 11" SHOULD BE UP ON THE WEB with your own unique personal URL address only $20!!! We'll keep it up there and maintain it for an entire year!!! -- Use small classified ads to advertise your product or opportunity and send them to your WEB page circular for all the information! Get it up there now just click here!
If you need the service just print out the circular and mail me your order. If you have an email address, please include it with your order and I'll email your URL address as soon as I upload it to the WEB.
Our Pre-Launch program for Elements business program is winding down to the end of this month. I'll then be sending out "joining packages" with downline reports, newsletters etc. It's sure NOT too late to join. We are putting in a bunch of folks and there WILL BE overspill as it's only a 2 wide matrix... I've personally sponsored over 50 members myself so you can see I'll be providing much overspill for quite a few levels! My two top people, Ralph Fulton and John Nikoden have also signed in many, many folks into their downlines which will run from my 2nd level down so there are many more that will be "spilling over".... It's going to be quite a "ride" next month when we start to enter folks into the main Elements business program. We're all looking forward to it..
So, if you'd like a "head start" on a GREAT paying home business, go here, Pre-Launch, print out the circular, fill it in and send along to me with proper payment and I'll get you in the data base and have your custom promotional kit on it's way back to you within 24 hours! Plenty of time yet with over a half of a month!
******************************************
I do have a lot of "stuff" to finish up before my weekend even begins, so for me, it's back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Weekend!!!!

It's a cloudy, hazy morning here in Central Pennsylvania.... What can I say it's a replica of yesterday, except without the sun.... Hazy, Hot & Humid!
There are no more cool breezes left around here this time of the year... I love to work, out on the deck with my laptop, (I have it networked to the other 2 desktop computers here in the office), but it's just too darn hot for even that here lately. Until this heat spell breaks, I'm afraid I'm trapped here in the air conditioned office... A bummer..... right? NO! I'm darn lucky to have a nice cool place to work... It doesn't seem that long ago, (but it is), when I used to do REAL work in my automobile repair garage. It sure wouldn't take long to "work up a sweat" on a day like today in my garage.
*******************************************
Betty's son John-John received bad news yesterday........
I mentioned that John had to go down to the hospital in Philly were he received his liver transplant for an "evaluation" of his recovery on Tuesday. While he was there they took blood for various "tests" and apparently one of those tests was to see if his body was rejecting the new organ in any way.
They called John's wife Debbie, yesterday afternoon to tell her that John's "numbers" were too high, (whatever that means...), his body may be rejecting the new liver he received. He will have to make a trip back down to the hospital, probably the beginning of next week for a liver biopsy. He and Deb will have to go down and stay in a Hotel overnight so he can be there first thing in the morning at 7AM for the biopsy and then they'll have to wait until about 6 PM in the evening to see if the liver is rejecting or not. If it is, they will keep John at the hospital and give him steroids and monitor him to see if they can "turn the situation around."
Of course John's feeling pretty low..... I really feel bad for him... but we're all hoping that it's just a "false alarm."
I'll post an update, here, later on John.....
Hang in there John-John................

It's another Hot, Humid, Hazy morning here in the "heart" of Pennsylvania at the Blue Bird Cottage... It's supposed to cool down some today for a little relief but I think the humidity is still going to be very high..... so much for the comfort level.....
Betty and I have been staying indoors in the air conditioning the last few days... Oh we seek out once in awhile to get the paper, or to go to the post office etc.... but no work outdoors that's for sure. I must get some yard work done, especially down at the river, but I'm just going to have to wait until it cools down a bit around here...
Some of the heart medicine I take just won't allow for too much sun exposure anymore. The doctor says, "Stay out of the sun", and he doesn't have to twist my arm for me to comply. It seems like it's affecting the animals and birds around here as well.. The only time I see anything moving around is early morning or late evening... and I don't blame them either..
***************************************
Betty's son John went down to Philadelphia yesterday to the hospital that transplanted the liver he received for him to get "evaluated"... Whatever that means... I suppose they check his general health and to see how all is healing etc.... I haven't had a chance to talk to him to see how he made out as when he got home yesterday evening, he was pretty beat. His sister, Tammy, drove him and his wife Debbie down to the hospital.
As fast as John's healing, I give him about a month and he'll be driving himself down for his evaluations. I think he must visit them once every couple of weeks for awhile...
As I mentioned before John lost over a hundred pounds through this ordeal and was down to 137 pounds... He's now eating and the doctor's have told him to also drink "Ensure Plus", which contains 350 calories in each small can... He's now up to 163 pounds and putting on weight fast.. He still looks like "skin and bones" as he's a big man, but I think at this rate he'll be back to his 'ole self in a few months... He's allowed to eat anything he wants now except he must cut back on the salt as his feet, ankles and legs are swollen. They, "his nurses that come to visit him at home", say that it's normal for that to happen though and not to worry about it....
John-Johns on his way back!
*****************************************
Mail order, MLM, and Home Business Owners...........
I do get some "funny" letters in the mail and some that are actually sad as people have an entire misconception of what a home business consists of. They are more interested in getting an extra check from someplace and they think that they can just "buy into" a company or program and sit back and collect a commission for doing nothing.
Actually they don't want a check or money order, they want cash so Uncle Sam can't "trace" it..
They apparently don't realize that any "legit" business must pay by check. Only scams and "fly by nights" will pay cash as it don't matter to them, after all they'll be GONE before it's time to pay taxes on anything.
Then, it seems like it's always these poor "dumb" folks will be the first to complain "how they got scammed." They are actually the ones who set themselves up! They are writing on paper that they want to "scam" the government, but they do not want scammed themselves.... What do they expect?
Want to read this masterpiece? Just click here: Dumb Letter No, I'd NEVER list his name... I folded that back over before I scanned it....
I could never figure out about people not wanting to get involved in any kind of money making project that they HAD to report it to Uncle Sam... They would sooner NOT help themselves make a better income to enjoy than to do something to help themselves.
They act like EVERYTHING they make is going to taxes... It's not THAT bad yet.. I would sooner make $20,000 and pay some for taxes than NOT make the $20,000 to begin with....That makes more sense.
At the end of the letter he wants to know if "this program will work for him?" I've never heard of any program "doing any kind of work"... it's just a vehicle.
PEOPLE do the work!
Oh well, it takes all kinds........
******************************************
Lot's of "stuff" to get done today....
I received a call last night from someone who ordered an OAMA membership. It usually takes about an hour and a half to two hours to get that package together... Plus, the little work that's left over from Monday's mail and what came in yesterday, it looks like I'm in for a busy day here at my home office.
Sooooooooooooooo..... with all that in mind, for me it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Wednesday!

It's another beautiful morning here in Central Pennsylvania at our Blue Bird Cottage and it's supposed to go into the 90s again today and be VERY humid.. I've turned the air conditioners on early to give them a head start on the coming heat. Even though we have two window air conditioners it's hard for them to keep up on days like today.
There's a baby groundhog, (woodchuck), just a few feet from the sliding glass door where I sit typing this post looking right at me.... I know darn well if I get the camera as soon as I move a muscle he'll be on his way. They are like all the other animals... when they're babies, they sure are cute but when they, the groundhogs, become adults, they are a pain in the "you-know-what!" I finally got rid of the one that was inside our yard shed and had the floor all torn up.. It took the flood last September to finally "run him off"....... After the flood I filled in his hole and fixed the floor and STILL have my fingers crossed.
The squirrels, rabbits and birds are not too bad at all when it comes to destroying property, and the snakes and turtles aren't around enough to be a bother. I usually run into them, the turtles when they are on their way to the river and our yard gets in the way.. Once in a while I'll have a snake "take up residence" in our yard but so far in over the last 20 years I've only had one poisonous one do that. That was a good 'ole nice sized Copper Head. Believe me, one of them living at the same place as me, in 20 years, is plenty!
There are lots of snakes that are GOOD snakes... I know, a lot of folks say the only good snake is a dead snake, but that's not true by a long shot!
If I could find a snake that likes to eat moles and voles, I'd build him his own house to patrol my yard. Yep, I'd sooner have a snake around that those darn little varmints! Oh, and those instruments they sell that you stick in the ground to "run 'em off", well they don't work. Matter of fact I think the darn thing might draw them!
Uh oh! There I go again, off on one of my tangents!!!

The beginning of a Brand New Week!
It's a nice sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania and it's supposed to go into the 90s today so it will be a warm one!
We had a real good weekend and the weather was nice as well... Yesterday Betty and I spent most of the day indoors as we've been working on another bulk mail. I had a lot of printing to get finished and Betty had tons of folding, sorting and assembling to do as well.
We don't have the bulk mailing quite done but it will be done before today is over.
I also prepared 50 First Class promotional mailings and they will hit the mail today.
************************************
We stopped down to see John, Betty's son on Saturday.... Yes, John is finally home and it sure looks like, now, he's getting well, REAL FAST. He's still using a walker to some extent and a cane.
He was up and around and apparently couldn't get enough to eat! Every time I turned around he was eating.. Well, John originally lost over 100 pounds through this ordeal, and was down to a mere 137 pounds, but already he's back up to 153! Yep John's coming back fast.... "At a boy John-John......
************************************
The river saw a lot of action over the weekend and we even had a swimmer down in our back yard..... Betty's granddaughter's husband, Matt. Looks like Matt was staying cool... Just check out the picture to the left.
The back yard looks like I need to mow it again... seems like I just did that.. hmmmmmmm.... The grass never dries out down at the river.....
That's just fine though as that's where I have my tomatoes plants as well..
As I mention last week something had eaten some of my plants....
I still have 6 left though and they are really starting to grow... I was late again planting them however, and I'll be lucky to get tomatoes before the frost hits.... Oh well, "better late than never."
*****************************************

Well, I've got a doctor's appointment to go to this morning. The GP doctor so it shouldn't take too long... I went on insulin for my diabetes about 3 weeks ago and I think he wants to see how my sugar has been doing and adjust the insulin dosage...
Sounds like fun, right? Yeah, sure...... I also have a couple of things that must be done before we head off to the post office and the doctor's office, so for me, it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Monday!!!!

T.G.I.F.
It's raining this morning, here at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania. We are receiving the tail of the hurricane, Cindy and have been since yesterday afternoon. Local flooding is expected but with any kind of luck, the mighty Susquehanna River that runs through are back yard will not be affected that much to cause flooding. Oh I'm sure it will rise some, but hopefully stay within it's banks.
It could have been worse I suppose as it can ALWAYS be worse. We needed the rain, but we could do without the storm that comes with it!
I seem to have a "Bumble Bees" problem in my office. Every morning for the past 3 weeks, when I open things up there are always a few bees, on the inside of the glass, on the large pane and sliding glass door at the front of my office.
The first morning it was one very large one...
The next day by noon time I had to kill 7 more of them. Then each day since then it's been 2 to 4 each and every morning... I've searched everywhere I can think and I can't find where the heck they are coming from.
I checked on the Internet and I found where Bumble Bees like to nest, in sheds, houses and maybe under my office floor!
It also says that the best way to get rid of them is to find their nest and destroy it. Better said than done! I built this office from an old porch that used to be at the end of our cottage.. Of course we built it from the floor up but that was about 20 years ago... Cinder block surrounds it on the outside at the bottom and even though I have "breather" ducts built into it there is no access large enough to crawl in. No way to get in there and destroy any kind of nest.
I know that normally Bumble Bees don't bother humans but they are hair raising when you have 4 to 5 flying around a small room like my office, believe me.
The only thing I know to do is to kill them off one at a time as they appear each day. After 3 weeks, I sure hope they are soon running out of members of the colony as I really do NOT enjoy killing them...
It's weird but it's only in the morning when they appear. After I kill whatever number shows up for the day, the rest of the day I'm okay, at least until the next morning when it starts all over again...
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate an Email.. My address is at the end of this post for today... Thanks in advance......

Mail order, MLM, and Home Business Workers...........
Last evening a friend of mine from Texas that's in my downline in a program or so called and we talked about my Pre-Launch program for Elements business program. Also, we got on the subject of commission programs and circulars. He wanted to know about a few that he could try and actually "trust" the "monitor" to send him commissions from his efforts.. There are a few that I promote that I have complete faith in owner/monitor to promptly fill orders and also promptly forward commissions.
First of all, we all should be mailing some "blind" promotional packages to opportunity seekers, and then of course there's the packages we mail to our inquiries from smaller ads. I was never an advocate sending just one offer in an envelope. Unless of course your offer fills 4 pages both sides... At any rate, I think we should all have a good stamp program to go as a nice "ride along" in your mailing. Perhaps if your prospect doesn't like any of your other offers he/she may go for your stamp offer.. Or of course I've had them order one or two of my offers and the stamp program as well..
Here's a stamp program that's been working pretty well for me: Abundant Postage PLUS CASH. This requires no work on your part other than promoting it. The money and the stamps go directly to the monitor and he then sends you "your cut". (This one pays you $5.00 checks and one book of 37¢ stamps per order! Plus it pays you the same commission when the person you sold the program to makes a sale. So you not only make money and stamps from your own efforts but also your customer's efforts!
I also have a couple of more commission circulars that doesn't cost an "arm and a leg" to join and pulls in several orders each week.. My favorite one is: BEGINNING A MAIL ORDER BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN!! This one also requires no work or follow up of your own, just the promotion. However, the monitor always sends you the order form with the customer's name and address to you can add their name to your data base for future "follow-ups." This commission circular pays you $5.00 per order.. As above, you will make $5 bills also every time your customer makes a sale as well.
Now, last but not least, is a commission circular that the money comes directly back to you. You make $10 per order. To fill the order you keep the $10 and send the entire circular to the "monitor" along with 2 First Class stamps and he fills the order for you!!!! So, except for the cost of the stamps, you make almost 100% profit! This commission circular is called: BUILD YOUR NEST EGG THE EASY WAY.
Check out all three of the above commission circulars and if you like any or all, just print them out, fill them in, and forward them to the monitor or as with the last one, BUILD YOUR NEST EGG THE EASY WAY, that one comes back to me... Just fill in the order blanks and follow the instructions....
All of the commission circulars make a nice "ride along" for you main program(s). If the program doesn't pull a sign-up maybe one of your commission circulars will. These "ride alongs" are what help with my cash flow to help cover my printing and mailing expenses.. Every little bit helps...

It's another beautiful sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania.
I went out on my back deck facing the river with a cup of coffee this morning to check out the morning wildlife. Near as I could see from one spot there were about 76 geese on the river... They were having a ball... I least they seemed to be. I almost never hear them honking unless they're flying. I've already had over 50 of them in our back yard, and had the back door open and never knew they were there until I looked outside.
Sometimes if I clap my hands to run them off they'll honk a little. I never run 'em off when they have very small, young ones, but as they mature, I'm afraid they make too much of a mess in the yard. If I try to walk to the river I'm doing the old "slip and slide" routine!
It doesn't look like the Canada Goose is good for much of anything, but they do look pretty. I've only ever eaten goose one time and that was a farm goose, not a wild Canada Goose and I really didn't like it that well.
But as with anything else, I'm sure if I got hungry enough, I would develop a taste for them.
I'm sure our forefathers ate a lot of "stuff" that we wouldn't even consider as a food. Yes, I'm sure our attitudes would soon grow a lot different if our bellies began growling and wild food is all that's available.
You must be sure of what's edible and what isn't though before you head for the wilds to survive. There are still folks dying from eating wild vegetables, etc. Click here for a short story.
I was reading some about Henry Thoreau yesterday and I just wonder how many of us could do what he did. You know, build a cabin all by ourselves, and live there practically off the land for a few years... Sure, it really sounds exciting, but it would take a lot of guts! Especially back then when Thoreau did it!
