It's a little overcast here this morning at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania.  It's not supposed to warm up too much today but looks like it's going to be a pleasant day.  That's okay with me as I'll be working in my office most of the day as today IS the end of the month and I have a ton of stuff that must go out including the OAMA "stuff", the Newsletter, Monthly Member Benefit Directory, Statements, and Checks, etc. All must be done and in today's mail or tomorrow mornings mail at the latest. Unless something unforeseen happens I don't see why I can't get it done.
Tomorrow is the first day of December and when that arrives it always reminds me that Christmas IS around the corner. Every time we go out for anything lately it seems like we do some Christmas shopping and yesterday was no different. I worked in the office all morning and I discovered that I must make a trip to my bank, which is in Harrisburg, so I told Betty that if she wanted to ride along we stop and grab a nice late lunch. We did eat lunch but then decided to stop across the street from the restaurant at a K-Mart to see if they had some gifts for some people on our list. We did get several things there but then had to go get some gasoline and of course while we were there we just had to stop at a store right beside where I get gas and pick up a "few things there"......  Well, to make a long story short we left here around 2 in the afternoon and didn't get back until about an hour after dark. I guess it's better to take some time to do shopping now than wait until the last minute though.
Check the joke sheet at the bottom of each of these daily posts for the shopping days left 'til Christmas as it's listed at the top of the joke sheet every day. Some other "reminder" dates are there as well.
Looks like I'm going to have a short post today as I'd better get back to work. The sun just peeked out and though my office windows and my coffee is getting cold so for me it's out for a new cup of coffee and back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!

Here we are at the beginning of a brand new week, at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania, and a beautiful day to start it! It's sunny and clear out but not supposed to get above 50 degrees. I guess that's not bad when some of our country received more than 18 inches of snow over the weekend. Colorado, in some places, received over 3 feet of the white stuff!!! Click here for the story.
I remember when I was a kid the snow storms used to be much worse than they are now days.... at least that's the way I remember them.
When I was growing up on our dairy farm our lane was about a mile long. Dad used to hook a make shift snow dozer up to one of the tractors, that we would load cinder blocks on for weight, and then would drag it in and out the lane to keep it clear. Some years got too bad for the snow dozer with the snow drifts that occurred many times over night, he would have to hire a bulldozer to "dig" us out. We had to get to the main highway on a daily basis as we had to take our daily load of milk out there for the "milk truck" to pick it up from Hershey Chocolate Factory. Yep that's where all of our milk went.... to Hershey Pennsylvania to make chocolate!
We had some fun time on the farm, like riding on the "snow dozer" but the "fun" times were far and few between. Most all I remember about the farm was getting up, "in the middle of the night" to start work, and of course the work, work, and more work. There was never a slow time... Even in the winter we still had the cows and barn to keep clean and fed and milked and we usually used the extra time that we didn't spend in the field repairing the farm machinery for Spring.
Today here in Pennsylvania is the first day of deer season and it did remind me that we did hunt back on the farm and really looked forward to the first day of deer. It was a big event back then and probably still is today. We did get the first day of deer season off from school and they still do today. On the farm, at least on the first day, we pretty much knew where the deer would hang out but that only lasted for the first couple of hours and once all the shooting began, they were moving around to new places pretty fast. That was one of the good, fun, memories that I have from my boy hood days though.
Although I gave up deer hunting many years ago, today I'd like to wish all of our local hunters and their sons & daughters who are "going out" for their first time lots of luck. There is a lot of "schoolin'" to be learned in them "thar" hills and mountains!
One more thing before I wrap it up for today..... go here for something that's really nice, especially if you're old enough to remember. If you're not send your mom and dad here to click it, or at least forward them the URL. Click here and "Listen to the Music" as well!
I must work on the end of the month "stuff" as tomorrow IS the end of the month. I also have some "stuff" that's left over from last week on my desks so for me it's back to work, and YOU, YOU, have a GREAT day!

T.G.I.F.
It's a beautiful sunny but cold day here in Central Pennsylvania....
We had a GREAT day yesterday at Betty's son John's house and a GREAT turkey dinner. I had to let the old belt out an extra notch but everything's back where it belongs today.
Today is BLACK FRIDAY! This morning our local TV stations were already covering many of the stores who opened up at 5AM to 6AM and the lines of folks waiting to get in to spend their money. They would really have to have some kind of extraordinary prices on something I really had to have for me to wait in any kind of line to spend my money! No, I'm not cheap, (well maybe a little), but I just don't like standing in line for anything!
I have a couple of friends that just couldn't wait for Black Friday to get here as they had some serious buying to do. The one friend of ours, Jason, is even going to buy himself a brand new computer today. I asked him the other day how much he figures to save on it by purchasing it on today Black Friday, and he said he had no idea but the fact that it was going to buy it today on Black Friday, he figures he will save something but has no idea how much if any. He's getting up early and going there to buy it BEFORE he goes to work, so I really do hope that he gets a good deal on it. Go get 'em Jason!
Like I mentioned before we had a great time at John's... at least I know I did..  After the meal John and I spent the rest of the afternoon "playing" with his computers while the girls cleaned up from diner and chit-chatted. We even got a nice sized doggy bag to bring home with some pumpkin pie and extra turkey for sandwiches.. 
As far as I know we're not going to venture out today. The traffic will be horrendous and shopping is almost out of the question unless you have a good pair of shoes on and are prepared to stand in line to pay for your goodies..  I thought about going out to eat but haven't said anything to Betty as of yet.. She may be looking forward to just staying at home and getting some of her gift wrapping done..  I don't know, I just feel lazy today...  I guess it's because of a holiday falling on a Thursday. Not that I don't have plenty of work to get done and I've already had 3 business calls this morning so I guess not everyone is feeling as lazy as me.
Today should really be a good mail day with the holiday and all so I'll have plenty to get done for tomorrow.... and I really should get to the back so I can pay some bills which means I should go out anyway today....  Heck 'til I figure out what I'm doing the darn day will be over.....
Well, as I look at the piles of work, that should be done, on my desks before my weekend starts for me I'd better get back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT weekend!!!! (And be careful driving today, (BLACK FRIDAY!)

It's raining here in central Pennsylvania and is supposed to continue throughout the entire east coast most of the day.
The day before Thanksgiving and we're all looking for a day off.
In The News:
Our Pennsylvania Turnpike ticket takers have decided to go on strike today. It's the first time since the turnpike began service 67 years ago! This is traditionally the most traveled day of the year for the toll road. The Turnpike commission has announced that for today there will be a flat rate of only $2 per automobile and $15 for commercial truck no matter what the distance they travel. (Wow! Seems to me that it would be cheaper for them to settle with the workers?)
I guess if you are going to strike, and you work for the PA Turnpike now is the day to do it if you want to hurt them the most.
I'm not so sure that unions are that good for our country anymore. When they first started years and years ago they were GREAT for the workers. They stopped the usage of children workers that were exploited to slave away in the factories etc. They helped negotiate decent hours and wages for our workers..  However there was a lot of corruption involved with the unions over the years as well.
I think in today's world we should be able to negotiate these things without the unions. I just keep thinking of the bad things that happened over the years because of the unions. When I drive through all the abandoned buildings down through Steelton Pennsylvania that used to house the best steel making industry in the world it just makes me think when the unions "Priced" themselves out of business. When the workers just keep going for more and more and the companies can not compete with other companies and countries in the market they have no other choice but to close their doors.
However with the Steel Industry I guess it wasn't completely the unions fault. When we conquered Japan in World War II we bombed and destroyed all of their steel mills. When we went back in to help rebuild their country we helped build them "state of the art" steel mills that were much more productive than our old "out dated" (over 100 years old), mills in our country and cut our companies "off at the knees" when it came to bidding on steel jobs around the world. I could never understand why, after we are actually forced to war with a country, why are we responsible to rebuild it "at our taxpayers expense?"
First we pay for the war with our tax dollars "and then some" in World War II, but we pay for it with our boys and girls lives, and then we go in and rebuild the country.
I can't think of any other country, other than ours, that has ever done this.
We do this all the time and we are the most hated people in the world! Go figure!
We, Betty and I, got another 100 large postcards for our Elements program in the mail yesterday and also as just about everyday I got out another 20 small postcards for my
American Bill Money program. These programs are bringing in a good "cash flow" and I want to make sure they continue to do so!
As I mentioned the Computer and I will be taking tomorrow, turkey day, off. We'll be heading down to Betty's son, John and his wife Deb's house for our Thanksgiving meal. John's wife is a huge fan of Martha Stewart and although Martha is cooling her heels, Debbie will still be cooking "ala" Martha for the turkey meal. Thanks goodness, as she sure is a good cook!
So, as I look around my desks at the piles of work that I must get done before my Thanksgiving holiday starts it's back to work for me, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Wednesday, and a GREAT holiday!!!

It's foggy and cloudy here in Central Pennsylvania this morning but according to the weather people we should see a little sun sometime today. It's supposed to really rain and be miserable, here in the east, tomorrow, (the highest travel day of the year!)
Government Waste:
You know when I read about the massive government waste generated or produced by one thing or another like poor judgment, government red tape, etc., it just makes me sick when I think of all the people in our country that still need help with the simple things of life such as eating and going to school. I've been with an organization for years called: Children International where I've been helping out a friend of mine whose name is Breiner Alberto Perez Castillo. Breiner is now 11 years old but I've known him since he's been 4 and he has really grown up into a nice young man. Breiner lives in Colombia with his mom and dad and siblings under what we, here in the good ole U.S.A. would consider very harsh conditions. After several years with Children International I discovered that there we're many, many children the the U.S. that were living at the extreme poverty level and need help just as much as Breiner and his family. What's my point? When I read about how are trusted government lawmakers etc., waste the taxpayers hard earned money on "crap", it just makes me sick to know that just a small amount of those moneys could have been used to help our own population.
Here's a prime example:
While it's now certain the President Bush will serve another four years in the White House, it is uncertain as to how he will get off the ground and be safely transported from place to place. Although not as important as the recent Presidential election, The Defense Department's upcoming decision on a $1.6 billion, (Remember that a billion dollars is 1,000 million so that would be 1600 million dollars!), helicopter contract to replace the president's ageing Marion One fleet holds enormous ramifications for the taxpayers.
In considering the appropriate contractor, the Pentagon's review process should include past performance. With Marine One, it would be prudent to remember one of the largest examples of wasteful spending at DOD, the ill-fated Comanche helicopter. A project of the company Sikorsky, the Comanche had it all: Dazzling graphics, wide political support, great promises.
There was just one problem: The helicopter literally never took off! After 21 years and 8 billion, (8,000 million!), taxpayer dollars, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld mercifully killed the program last February.
Now, Sikorsky wants the opportunity to develop another helicopter. Fresh on the heels of a smart decision about the company's last attempt to build helicopters for the DOD, taxpayers should hope that the Pentagon avoids going down the same expensive and ultimately fruitless road it took back in 1985. DOD spent more than two decades on a project that never saw battle and never helped protect a single American soldier. Not one. And meanwhile, funds are lacking for body armor for the troops in Iraq. (And as I started this report about kids and families in our country that have a tough time surviving from one day to the next!) (There ought to be a law!)
That's my rant for today and maybe this week...  Sometime you just have to cut loose with something that's on your mind.)
I had a GREAT mail day yesterday and received plenty of inquires and orders that have to be done today. I'm trying to get caught up here in my home office so the "Computer" and I can take Thanksgiving off. Well, we'll be taking it off anyway as we'll be headed down to Betty's son, John's house for dinner, but it would be nice to take it off without feeling guilty.
We took Betty's other son, John, out for lunch yesterday to celebrate his birthday and then we spent a nice afternoon here at home just "chewing the fat." We had a great time and I think he did too. After all, birthdays only come once a year! Happy Birthday J. D. and many, many more!!!!
Well, looking around at the piles on my desks, it's time for me to get back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!

It's a bit on the cloudy side here in Central Pennsylvania this morning but we are supposed to see sun shine today some time, and also some rain, a bit of both.
We're off to a brand new week but a short one as Thanksgiving will be here on Thursday and most of us will have off. That's okay as we are entitled to a short week, aren't we? Yeah, I thought so as well.
Our big Maple tree in the back yard is finally giving up it's leaves. All the other trees, except of course for the evergreens have already shed their leaves up to a couple of weeks ago. Yes, but our Maples are the first to get leaves and the last to give them up. When the big Maple starts dropping leaves I know that not only Fall is here, but Winter is not far off. The leaves do look neat all over the yard.....  Our neighbor, I'm sure is not happy with us as we do NOT rake up the leaves right away. He is always out raking his leaves. I personally believe it's not only a waste of time, (of course I think if you live in a residential district or city you must rake the leaves), as the leaves help protect the grass in the yard over the winter. Also in the Spring when I'll mulch them up with a lawn mover they will help fertilize the soil and give it some great compost. I always get a kick out of folks raking up their leaves, nature's natural mulch and fertilizer, and then next spring they'll be buying and spreading all kinds of crap back on their yards to feed their grass. Gee that makes sense, NOT!
I've started to receive quite a few applications from the
$2=SUCCESS downline builder that feeds the Tape of the Month program Phase V. The applications are now to enter the main program, the Tape of the Month. It's a fine program that been in business several years and I've personally been receiving monthly commission checks from it going on two years now.
I received plenty of mail on Saturday so I still have plenty to get done before I head to the post office today. With several "piles" of things on my desks, for me it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Monday!!!

T.G.I.F.
Looks like we're in for a day of rain here, at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania. That's pretty good though as it was a very nice week for the most of it.
Look's like I'll be spending another day here in the office as I have plenty that must be done.. 
Next week is Thanksgiving and "Black Friday"...  Usually on "Black Friday" the only place I go is my regular trip to the post office. I know some of the stores open at 5 AM and that they are supposed to have gigantic sales and there are usually lines of folks waiting for the stores to open, but I just hate standing in line to buy something. Matter of fact I hate standing in line for anything.
One young salesperson I spoke with a few weeks ago said he had a preview of just what his store was going to run for "sales" on "Black Friday" and according to him that just about everything on sale was NOT really going to be on sale but they were going to offer many more "rebates"....  I'm not really fond of rebates either.  Some rebates take months to get your money and others run out in a couple of days and if you don't get them sent in on time, you lose! The stores, of course, count on a lot of people to just forget about them once they are bought. I guess in their eyes, if they're going to give something off, the best way is through a rebate. I make it a point to shop at the stores that give, "on the spot" store rebates...  I'd sooner pay a little more and get my "deal" immediately. I guess it's like these people that cash in at the supermarket with grocery coupons. We all know they are available, and we do use some if we have them handy, but we don't make a project out of it as most of us just don't have the time. That's why the coupons are popular with the food manufacturers... They know darn well, a lot of folks will cut them out and maybe buy their products, but a lot will also forget to use the coupons, lose them, or just plain, forget to bring them along.... 
Ahhh.... the good ole days..... When a discount on anything was a TRUE savings. When the store gave 10˘ off on a loaf of bread, you actually saved 10˘. It might not have been a GIANT discount but it was a true one.
Whether you go shopping on Black Friday or not, check out the following Sunday's newspaper for many, many more discounts....  You'll be able to shop right from your kitchen table and save a lot of money. If you buy something from a store with a "price guarantee", make a note of it. If it shows up at another store cheaper, the store where you purchased it will give you a refund!
Christmas is getting closer and closer... don't wait 'til the last minute or it will cost you a fortune to get the "stuff" that you want....
By the looks of the piles of "stuff" on my desks that need to be done before my weekend starts, I'd better get back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT weekend!!!

Thursday, November 18, 2004

It's another cloudy morning and it's supposed to stay cloudy with no rain the entire day here in Central Pennsylvania. Not bad, not bad at all!
Betty and I went out yesterday and ate lunch and did some Christmas shopping. We seemed to buy a good bit but it's not even a dent in our list. Hopefully we'll get another afternoon next week to do the same. I'm not sure what we're doing over the weekend but I know, as usual, we have plenty of work to keep us busy. We'll have to see. I don't mind shopping for the smaller kids when we can buy toys for them and even the larger kids as long as it's not for clothing. Betty likes to buy clothing for kids... I'm just the opposite....  I think kids look to us for the "toys"... Smaller kids as well as the larger kids..... I think the parents should buy them clothing and we should be allowed to buy the "fun things!"
Every year Betty will ask the grand kids, (who have children), and the kids, (who have children), just what their kids "need".... (Bad choice of words), and sure enough it will be a list of clothing from the latest shirts to pajamas. Betty gets determined to get the "kids" what they need.....  I have to fight sometimes to get them some "good stuff".....
The heck with what they need.....  That's the parent's responsibility.... I want to get them something they "don't" need! I don't want to leave their homes after we "drop off" their gifts and visit for awhile and have them think well, the clothes we okay.... I want them to say, "Wow, wasn't that a neat present!"
Oh well, what can I do????
Things are going swell here in my home office and we're still preparing mailings...  I do postcard, promotional mailings everyday as they are easy to prepare and I can get 20 to 30 in the mail easily....  That's one of the main secrets.... "Constantly Promote"....  Always! Just keep at it and your home business will continue to grow.... That's my tip for today... You don't have to mail hundreds or spend all day on the WEB promoting, but set some time aside each and every day to promote one or more of your opportunities...  Keep those checks not only coming, but growing as well.
As I look at my desks there are still piles of work that need to be done so for me, it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Thursday!!!

It's quite cloudy here this morning in Central Pennsylvania. They are not calling for rain and it should be mild with a high in the upper 50s so it won't be a bad day at all.
In The News:
K-mart and Sears, Roebuck are to merge into Sears Holdings, 3rd largest US retailer!
Now to me that's big news....  Years ago when I had kids at home yet we used to buy just about everything at Sears. My wife could shop right out of their catalogs and order everything. Every year my kids started school with all clothing and accessories that were ordered from Sears. Sears literally sold everything and anything. Their huge catalog was world famous. That had competitive prices if not better prices than most retail stores with good quality of goods. Of course the other good thing was that they were one of the first to offer credit. So if you were a bit short you could order stuff and pay for it "Ticky Bushey", (over time.)
Sears and Roebuck was the first "credit card" we ever had. It may have been the first business to offer a credit card. I'm not sure of that though as I have not researched it.
When K-mart first started up I used to love it as like Sears, they had almost anything you needed and you could go to their store and buy it immediately without the "order" wait. I could buy spark plugs cheaper there than I could order them when I owned my own automobile repair shop! I could even go there and buy a "tune up" kit for my lawn mower that included a set of points, condenser and spark plug. One could buy tires for the car and any kind of sports and fishing equipment you would ever need. Pots, pans, clothing, electronic goods, just about anything you could imagine. |
However, over the last several years K-mart has had financial problems and apparently have been forced to lower their stock as lately they have very little in stock compared to what they used to.
I hope that this new merger will give their companies a good boost and they can both make a come back. The new company, is named Sears Holdings Corporation and will have 2250 full-line and off-mall stores, and 1100 specialty retail stores with approximately $55 billion in annual revenue. The Sears and K-mart businesses will continue to operate separately under their respective brand names.
You can read more about the merger by clicking HERE, if you have an interest in either one this will help you understand how the stock will be handled for each etc.
Maybe Wal-mart will have a bit more competition. Competition is good, as Martha Stewart would say, if she were out of jail.....
We had another great day around the office here yesterday and got a lot done. I received my monthly promotional package from "Elements" yesterday and discovered that the owner of this MLM company had designed brand new "oversized" postcards to promote the business. I'll be sending out 100 of them before the end of this week as they sure look like they will pull real well. My commission checks are growing each month with "Elements" and I want to insure that it continues to do so and that's why I'll continue to constantly promote it.
Betty is almost back up to par from her week's stay in the hospital and several weeks convalescence. It's nice to have my helper back not just in the house but with my home businesses as well. I didn't realize how much I depend on her to help with certain things until she's not available...... and I'm very grateful that she just about herself once more.
Although I got a good bit done yesterday, I still have plenty left over that I want to get done before my daily trek to the post office so for me, it's back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!

It's another beautiful sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania....  and I believe we're in for almost a week of it! That's just fine with me.
In The News:
 
Looks like Condoleeza Rice is going to become our top US Diplomat, Secretary of State, replacing Colin Powell. Ms. Rice is now the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs commonly referred to as The National Security Advisor since January 22, 2001.
I'm sure she's a great teacher, as it seems this is what she is really qualified for, but our top US Diplomat? All we have to look at to see if she might qualified is what she's done since she's been The National Security Advisor. I'm sure we all remember September 11, 2001 but do you remember Condoleeza Rice? Do you remember her coming on television and giving us any assurances that she was taking steps to protect the United States from further attack? Do you remember her doing anything to protect us from the original attack? After all isn't she our National Security Advisor...  The key word here is, "Security." What does that title mean? Does it mean that she just collects a big pay check for doing little if anything? The first I remember Ms. Rice on TV even mentioning the 9-11 tragedy was about 8 months after it happened! I sure hope she does a better job as Secretary of State than she has done as our National Security Advisor because if she continues the way she has, we're in deep, "you know what!"
As it's an appointed job, as usual, we have nothing to say about it. All we can do is sit back and keep our fingers crossed.
I'm really sorry to see Powell go as he was a very capable Secretary of State.
Things are picking up a bit more here, around my home office. I received a couple more small commissions yesterday. One from SFI, SIX FIGURE INCOME, and another $50 commission check from one of my favorite, easy programs,
American Bill Money program, (ID #3766). I receive $50 per month commission for each signup each and every month that he/she stays active in the program! It's an on-going monthly commission. This program is one of the easiest programs I've ever tried. This $50 bucks was for a new signup. These are paid on a weekly basis.
I'm still working on a bulk mailing for this week and yesterday I received 2 more entries for my ONCE A MONTH ASSOCIATION and I'll have to do 2 custom joining packages for those folks. So I've got plenty to do today before I make my daily trip to the post office.  So with that in mind, I'd better get back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!

It's a beautiful sunny morning to start a brand new week here at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania!
We had a pretty nice weekend here, although I didn't get a whole lot done in the office I did get some other stuff done that needed caught up around the house.
Duck hunting started here in Central Pennsylvania, today, and we could here the shooting out on the Susquehanna River, that flows through our back yard, early this morning when it began to break daylight. The hunters had a beautiful morning for duck hunting that's for sure!
I personally don't hunt anymore myself and just use my digital camera for shooting them. I never really did hunt duck though but was an avid hunter when it came to squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, ruffed grouse, turkey, and of course our big game, whitetail deer. I guess over the years I kind of grew out of it and it's probably best as I don't think my heart would like traipsing over hill and dale after game. Plus, I don't even eat red meat anymore and I would NEVER hunt game that I wouldn't eat myself. That's another reason I used to do a lot of hunting when I was much younger. I had 4 children to raise, all a year apart, and the extra meat really came in handy. At any rate, I'm sure not against hunting as I realize that the game must be thinned to keep the others healthy. I am happy that hunting is not allowed right around were I live, (several homes together), as I'd hate to see my "buddies", the squirrels, rabbits, and geese we get a kick out of observing get killed... 
Well, it looks like we're in for a great day to start the week here in my home office and lot's of the programs I'm in are doing quite well...  I received a check for $90 from a company in California that I broker "stuff" for. That same check last month was, $607.50, down quite a bit but to be expected as we didn't do much mailing last month due to Betty being ill. She's back now and we're preparing another bulk mail that WILL go out this week.
All the commission checks put together really do add up..  Some came though just fine with no cut back even though are mailing went down really low and they are the ones from the multi-level companies I'm in....  You can check through these posts for more information on them and to the left side of this site for links to them as well.
I do think that Multi Level Marketing is much more excepted now days. Betty's one son stopped in to visit last week and mentioned that his neighbor's son was into one company and was making several hundred dollars a month while he is attending college. That's great!
Well I just glanced at the clock and I guess I'd better get back to work and
YOU, YOU have a GREAT Monday!!!

T.G.I.F.
It's a cloudy rainy day here in Central Pennsylvania. We were looking for it though but it's supposed to clear some for the the weekend.
In the news:
Well I guess by now you know that Arafat is dead and buried. Actually this should be a good thing as one of the world's most prominent terrorists is now gone. I never wish anyone dead but I'm afraid that in this case I think the world is really better off. I sincerely wish and hope that the Palestinian people come up with a better government and develop better relations with Israel at least to the point that there won't be any more Palestinians going over there and blowing themselves up in buses, super markets, school yards, etc. At least I hope they get along that far... I doubt it will be much more than that because, let's face it, those people have been fighting each other for years, and years.... I wish them the best and really hope that we can keep our noses out of their business as well. We don't need another place to ship our young fighting men and women where they are NOT wanted and NOT appreciated! Nuff said!
Couldn't sleep worth a darn last night. I got up to go to the bathroom at 2:30 AM this morning and when I went back to bed I just couldn't get back to sleep. My mind kept going from one thing to another so after about a half hour I got up and grabbed one of my laptops and started to make notes for a Brand New Downline building program. As it develops I'll let you know more about it in the future...  I worked on that for about an hour and a half and then finally fell asleep.
I sure don't have any mail left over to get done before the weekend starts as the post office was closed yesterday but I do have a few inquiries and orders to finish up before my weekend starts...  So I'll be working on them today.
I still have a few things to do to get our cottage ready for the winter months and hopefully over this weekend I'll get them done.. One is crawling down in our basement and sealing up the outside windows.. I'm not looking forward to that as although I got it pumped out after the flood month before last it is still very damp, muddy and in a mess!
That's about it for this week as I'd better get back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Weekend!!!

And yet another beautiful sunny morning here at the Blue Bird Cottage, in Central Pennsylvania! It's a beautiful day for any activities for Veteran's day. I just want to express my appreciation to our veterans for their sacrifices so I can live in a FREE country, the BEST in the WORLD! Check and see what's happening all over the country today to honor our Veterans by clicking here, VETERAN'S DAY.
I hope you didn't have to work today and are enjoying a well deserved day off from the old grind stone.
Betty and I are going to go out and eat today but we don't have to do any shopping unless she wants to do a little Christmas shopping, the stores, I imagine, will be pretty crowded today. I will be getting some things done here in the office today as I'm still running a bit behind and don't want to sink back any further.
We did get all the "sign up packets" for the
$2=SUCCESS downline builder that feeds the Tape of the Month program done and in the mail yesterday. So if you're in Phase V of the $2=SUCCESS downline builder, you will see your packet in a day or so. Although we do have one that we mailed to Poland and I'm quite sure even with Air Mail they won't see theirs for a week. 99% though are in the good ole U. S. A.
If you missed the news this morning I wanted to take some time to let you in on the new findings of taking extra vitamin E. I've been taking extra for several years now as my doctor recommended it because of my bad heart. Seems like everyone was wrong! I've been taking 800 IU a day in addition to my regular multi-vitamin tablet. Now, after extensive studies they claim that anyone taking 400IU or more is at a very dangerous risk! Please read about it here: TOO MUCH VITAMIN E ADDS RISK! There's even more to it than this article..... here's the links to all of the latest on Vitamin E. US SCIENTISTS WARN AGAINST HIGH DOSES OF VITAMIN E!
 Check out these sources as they could save your life..
On that note the Computer and I will be getting back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Veteran's Day!

Another beautiful sunny morning here at the Blue Bird Cottage, in Central Pennsylvania! I'm getting spoiled! It's really chilly though and when I look at the calendar it reminds me that not only Thanksgiving is not that far off but Christmas is also just around the corner.
When I was younger and had to drive to work every morning and these are the kinds of mornings that I enjoyed but also hated. It felt so great to get out into the crisp morning air and breathe that great clear air, but when I crawled into the cold car and grabbed that ice cold steering wheel it promptly brought me back down to earth!
I sure wouldn't trade my situation now for anything. I can get up, get cleaned up and dressed and walk out to the end of the cottage and I'm at work! No cold car seats or ice to scrape off the window. As a matter of fact unless we have an appointment somewhere I don't even have to go out until most of the time the sun will warm up enough to melt the ice off the windshield. I'd love to put all my friends in this situation. This is why I have all the "work at home" opportunities listed on the left side of this site and also mention many more in my writings. I have many friends in this business that are doing VERY well working from their homes.
There's a man in California that I buy opportunity seeker names & addresses from that is, and has been for quite awhile, making a 6 figure income from his home. (Mostly he writes books and maintains mailing lists.)  I'll be placing information up on my site ASAP as everyone is always asking me where I get my names to promote my businesses. In the mean time his business name is TJT MARKETING ASSOCIATES, (Terry Thomas), PO Box 55695, Dept 2619, Valencia CA 91385. Toll Free number (877) 225-5858. To give you an idea, his prices are reasonable at only $25 for 300 names, $45 for 500 names, and 80 for 1,000 names.  He'll send you the complete price list upon request. Just tell him Chuck Rollason sent you..
Even if you're still pretty young, now's the time to begin your own home business and learn how to make extra money and then progress to a full time income as Social Security, just "ain't" going to make it! But don't take my word on that, just ask any senior citizen that must depend on SS income entirely to live.
I still am working on the "sign up packets" for the
$2=SUCCESS downline builder that feeds the Tape of the Month program and they WILL be done and will be in the mail today. Tomorrow of course is a holiday and the mail will NOT be delivered or picked up.
The Computer and I may take tomorrow off. I'm not sure what Betty has planned but if I have time I'll be doing a post tomorrow, but if not, the Computer and I definitely be back here on Friday morning. (If you need any questions answered on want to comment on today's post, just email me. My email link is down just 3 lines from here.)

In the meantime there is plenty of work piled high on my desks to get done so for me it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Wednesday!!!

It's another sunny but cold morning here in Central Pennsylvania.
You know for years I've been saying that our legal system is not only "less than perfect" but it's actually a joke at times. I still think it's another example of too many laws. Too many laws and rules seems to get in the way of each other and often end up in tragedy. I saw this "unbelievable" story on the ABC Good Morning show and looked it up on the web as it was just unbelievable. Here's the gist of it.
Headlines: TRIAL OF ADMITTED SERIAL KILLER OPENS (Now after seeing this headline you'd wonder why they would have to waste time and money "trying" an "Admitted" killer. This is where it really gets dumb.....
Jury Selected as murder trail gets under way for man who confessed to 13 Slayings in '80's. A murder trail got under way Monday for a man who confessed to 13 slayings in the early 1980s but received a sentence that will release him from prison in two years!
(Chuck)- This guy confessed to the 13 killings in 1982 in a deal with Texas prosecutors that allowed him to plead guilty to a lesser charge of burglary with intent to murder if he helped officials solve "his" crimes. He is set to be freed in April 2006!
(Chuck)- Can you believe that they would let him "plead" to a lesser crime than murder after he admitted to killing 13 women? Makes you wonder what "brain" was in charge of that offer doesn't it???
(Chuck)- Now, to try and keep the asshole locked up, they are charging him with a murder of a 14th woman, whose body was found in an alley in 1979. (God knows just how many women this guy really killed!) If convicted, he faces a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
(Chuck)- This is why I personally, never felt there should be any deals or "plea bargains" with any criminal. Make darn sure their guilty, then punish them for REAL!
Oh, incidentally, they want to try now to keep him locked up because they KNOW he's a serial killer, and they know "for sure" that if he's left out, he WILL DEFINITELY KILL AGAIN!!! (If you'd like to read this entire, unbelievable, article click here: STUPID PLEA BARGAIN.
I'm sorry about that ranting again but we're so concerned about our prisons over flowing that we're actually letting out REAL criminals each and every day. Then on the other hand, we're penning up Martha Stewart! Go figure.....
After working all weekend to find software to back up movies on a DVD burner and spending around a hundred bucks, I finally found a DVD Ripping program that's worth it's money and does exactly what it says. However if you have a newer, dual layer recorder, like I do with this new computer, the software won't work properly but will work enough to do the job.
Let me mention that I thought just because I had purchased a new computer with a DVD recorder in it that I'd be able to burn movies..  No, it doesn't work that way..  There are several problems to that scenario but here are the two biggest. First of all movie DVDs are copy writed and second most movies take a disc that will hold about 8 gigs. (DVD recorders will hold DVD blank discs that only hold 4.7 GB. 
On Friday evening I downloaded some software that I had "searched" on the WEB for and it was really disgusting. It had about 12 different steps to rip a movie DVD, shrink it enough to fit on one DVD and burn it. I spent all that money for nothing...  I worked for hours but could not get it to work.
I then downloaded another one to try.. This would copy a movie and shrink it but it would only do some of them and not all and would run lots of errors on the disk which resulted in a lot of wasted blank DVD discs. One movie took 5 disks to record. That software was $49.95. Another one, fairly cheap at $19.95 would rip the DVD but would not shrink it to burn onto one disk and one movie would take at least 2 blank disks to copy it. It also wasted a lot of blank disks with errors. 
I went down to Office Max on Saturday and bought another program that was supposed to even save movies to CD + R disks. You wouldn't even need a DVD burner, just a regular CD burner! Boy! I thought, this was for me as all I wanted to do was copy a DVD movie. Got it home and Saturday night worked for several hours and ruined about 8 more disks and got nothing.... Stopped until Sunday morning and began to read all the manuals that came with it on disc. (No paper manuals and more.) Then I found the one page that answered all of my questions. Apparently unless I went to their site and downloaded another $40 update NONE of the things they touted on their box could be actually done! I couldn't believe it! Talk about a rip off...  I was actually considering buying the update until I came to my senses and realized that they had already lied to me once. I could download the update and that wouldn't work either!
To make a long story short, (too late), I took it back to Office Max on Sunday and paid $10 more and picked up another software bundle that actually works. However, as mine, (recorder), is a newer dual layer recorder I must do an extra step to make it work, but I'm finally satisfied as I can do what I want now... The name of the good software is: 123 Copy DVD, so if you are sometime looking for software to copy your movies... keep this in mind and save yourself some money!
Oh, check yesterday's post in case you've missed the news that the DollarMonster program is up and running and doubling people's money!
Well, I've REALLY run over time here today will all of my gabbing with plenty of work piled high on my desks I KNOW it's time for me to get back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!!!!

It's a nice clear morning here in Pennsylvania and Fall is definitely here as it's really nippy outside this morning and it's supposed to go down into the 20s tonight! Yep, I think we'll see how good our new furnace is tonight. Boy am I ever glad we decided to stay with coal heat. They said on this morning's news that heating oil is at $2.00 a gallon and expected to stay that way most of the Winter! Wow, I'm sure we could have never afforded that. I pity the poor folks that must use oil to heat this winter...  Keep this in mind, that while you are struggling to stay warm, the sheiks, etc. of the OPEC countries are enjoying your money to live in their palaces, etc. Yeah, the poor devils.... what would they do if us dumb Americans didn't insist on driving our large "gas eaters."  I'm also to blame as my SUV only gets about 16 to 19 mile per gallon..  I was telling a young person the other day that when I was fairly young, in my 20s, when I had a service/gas station that I sold gasoline for 27˘ a gallon he found that hard to believe....  I used to have folks stopping to buy a dollar's worth of gasoline. For that they would get their windshield cleaned and their oil checked. Yes, I guess that IS hard to believe as now days it would be a miracle to have someone clean your windshield and check your oil!
Oh yeah, believe me, if I had to drive to work every morning instead of walking to the end of my house, to my home office, you can bet your "bippies" that I would have a car that got much better gas mileage than the one we have now!
THE BIG NEWS this morning is the DollarMonster program is back up and running and doubling money! I had my money double over this weekend! I had $234.00 that I had in my account last week and now it's doubled to $468.00. Full maturity is doubling 3 times. When my investment doubles, it will amount to $1872.00!!! I have two more doubles to go. The second double is expected to happen in 5 days.  I'm hoping to get some extra money from this DollarMonster program in plenty of time for Christmas gifts this year.
If you have done nothing yet, and would like to take part in this opportunity, start by opening a FREE account at StormPay so you'll have an account to use to invest in the DollarMonster. Just click here: StormPay
To open an account at StormPay and to join the DollarMonster program are both FREE!
Today and tomorrow
I'll be working on the "sign up packets" for the $2=SUCCESS downline builder that feeds the Tape of the Month program. These packets will be for Phase V that ended on October 31st. If you were in Phase V you will be receiving one of the packets even if you are already in the main program as you will receive a downline report on everyone that you personally signed into the program. You'll be able to use that list to contact your prospects and encourage them to join the main Tape of the Month program.
Whew! That's what is happening around my office today, and it's busier than flies on a cow's behind today, so for me I'd better get my butt to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Monday!!!

T.G.I.F.
It's a bright sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania but if you go outdoors you'd better hold onto a street sign or a tree as it's windy as heck! That's good though, maybe it will dry things out a bit.
I took notice the last few days our many squirrels that live outside my office are working extra hard gathering up anything editable that they can stuff in their mouths and heading back "home" to their nests, stocking up for the winter.. Seems like they're working a little harder and longer than usual. Makes me think that we may be in for a long, cold winter.
I figured I'd better check out just how bad a winter the forecasters are calling for so of course my first place to go was The Old Farmer's Almanac on the WEB. That was a good idea unfortunately they will only tell you about the winter's forecast if you join their site for $5 bucks....  So I ran a search and checked out a few places...  I finally found a pretty good one and the one I should have went to first, and that's the National Weather Bureau.
You can check out what they're forecasting for your region this winter by clicking here: NOAA U.S. WINTER OUTLOOK They have a lot of GREAT material here.
According to NOAA it seems our squirrels just may be wrong because in my region they are calling for winter temperatures to be a little warmer than usual.. That's just fine with me as although I do like to see some snow, it does becomes tiring real fast. Thankfully they'll be right and we'll have a mild Winter here, in Central Pennsylvania.
Things are going well, here in my home office and I'm looking forward to receiving my "beginning of the month" commission checks from some of my companies. Yes, I can use some cash flow as I'll need some extra for Christmas shopping. Yep it's that time of the year and as I mentioned before we hate to wait until the last minute. Boy, around here starting 2 to 3 weeks before Christmas, it seems like there are so many vehicles with folks out shopping that they are "coming out of the woodwork!" I swear some folks have vehicles and they only use them to shop at Christmas...  (I know that not rational thinking, but that's what it seems like.)  I don't like to stand in line and I don't like gobs of traffic.) Sorry, that's just the way I am and I'm sure I'm not the only one..... 
I do have tons of work to get done around here before my weekend starts so for me it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT weekend!!!!

It's a dreary, cloudy, rainy day here at the "Blue Bird Cottage" in Central Pennsylvania and it's supposed to be that way all day today. It's only supposed to reach 49 degrees today so it's going to be a nippy day as well...
Check out my new "Local Weather" poster over there on the left of this page from MSNBC. You can click it and tap in your zip code and get your own local weather as well.. Pretty neat, huh? I'll also be adding an up-to-the-minute news broadcaster to this daily site as well, just as soon as I figure out how to do it....
Don't forget to save this page in your "favorites" and check back here everyday for my bull crap and also the joke page... When I'm really bad at writing anything interesting up here, I at least try to keep new, good jokes coming on a daily basis right at the end of each post.... Check 'em out!
Well, it looks like Mr. Bush will be our president for another 4 years...  Even if your man/women didn't win, we must get behind our president and support him. I know my guy didn't win.....  but maybe next time... In the mean time.... I hope President Bush does a good job. He sure has a lot of responsibilities! I know a lot more than I would ever want.. I took a good look at him on the news last night and wow has he ever aged in just 4 years...  It's unbelievable! You must know that it has to take a lot out of a person to age that much in a short period of time.... It will put him in the history books forever though... some folks would do it just for that. (Run for president that is.) Let's face it rich people donate rooms, wards and even wings to hospitals to immortalize themselves. We even had one rich dude near where I live donate almost 2 million dollars to build a library in his name... But nothing quite does it like serving as president of the United States!
Well, I guess, not just the gold ole USA as it will be a long time if ever our history will write out the likes of Hitler, Emperor Hirohito, and Winston Churchill. Yes, they are immortalized and will be remembered. Everlasting life??? At least in the history books....
I'm really glad the election thing is all over.... I was so tired of hearing all the rotten commercials of each "cutting up the other"... and I'm sure I'm not the only one...
Another thing, I thought that tele-marketing was illegal in Pennsylvania? Apparently it must exclude political calls as the last week I was undulated with calls to get out and vote for all of our Republication candidates. Yes, I'm registered republican, but not for long. As soon as I get the chance I'm changing my registration....  The phone calls "cured" me. There was no let up for them... even as late as 10:30 PM in the evening....  As soon as I'd sit down to eat, didn't matter what time of the day, breakfast, lunch or supper I was receiving phone calls from them..  You would think at the end of them there would be a way to "opt out" of receiving them, but no such luck. All of them were recordings except a few were "live" but by the time I got a live one.... I was done picking up for them anymore and the recorder left me know they were live. I think I'll probably register as Independent. I've not heard of them bothering people on the phone.... At least not yet.... 
Yep, after receiving calls from George himself, his daughters, his wife and Dick. and half of the local Republican Party.... I've had enough of being registered Republican..  I think they went just a hair too far... at least with me... I'd love to know how others think about the calling deal... If you'd like to comment, just click, "Click here to comment on today's post. E-mail Chuck", at the end of today's post.... you don't even have to sign it... I don't care as I won't be debating it with you.... just like to know your feelings....
Still plenty to get done here in the office... It seems like I just never get to the "caught up" point but I keep working on it... No BIG giant news today so for me, I'd better just get back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Thursday!!!

Another beautiful sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania, which surprises me. Yesterday I thought they were calling for at least cloudy weather today.... I'm sure not complaining though as I love this kind of Fall weather...
If you look over on the left column of this page, right under my picture, you'll see that I've added an up-to-date weather report. If you want to see your weather forecast, just click on mine and type in your zip code... Pretty neat, right?
Betty is almost back to her old self from her illness and week's stay in the hospital and things are getting a bit back to normal around here. We are even working on a bulk mailing and hopefully we'll have it done before the end of this week.
As soon as I get a few more things caught up around the office here, I'll be working on the "sign up packets" for the
$2=SUCCESS downline builder that feeds the Tape of the Month program. These packets will be for Phase V that ended on October 31st. If you were in Phase V you will be receiving one of the packets even if you are already in the main program as you will receive a downline report on everyone that you personally signed into the program. You'll be able to use that list to contact your prospects and encourage them to join the main Tape of the Month program. They should all be mailed out with in the next week or so. You will also be invited to join Phase VI that will run until January 31st of 2005 so you can continue to promote the program at low costs.  If you need a new circular until you get a chance to send in your 2 bucks for the new Phase, you can download a blank one here, New Phase VI bland circular. (Don't forget to place your name and ID number on it before making copies to mail out.)
Well, the election is over and as of this morning, we still don't know who won but it pretty much looks like we'll keep George Bush for another 4 years. I certainly hope the American People has chosen wisely.. These are turbulent times.... and we have lost a lot of personal rights since 9-11... I sure hope that it gets better but I have my doubts...  I hate to be a pessimist but I do hope I'm wrong. I REALLY do!

I do have a lot to get done before my daily trip to the Post Office so for me right now, it's back to work, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Wednesday!!!

It's another sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania.... No excuse not to go to the polls and cast your vote today..... (At least here in Central Pennsylvania.) I understand that some places like Denver and and also snow has even closed the interstate in Kansas!
Exercise your right to vote today. Out of many of the excuses I've listened to over the years has been, "I didn't like either candidate so I didn't bother to vote."  Maybe that's because they didn't take the time to see who else was running besides the two most popular candidates....  Want to know all of the candidates who are running for president? Just click here: Presidency 2004 There almost has to be someone there who believes almost as you do.... Heck, one of these fellows main issue is that he wants to get rid of the income tax and property taxes! Sounds like my kind of man! Don't worry if your guy doesn't have a chance in heck of winning. At least you'll be voting for someone that you think would do the best job as president.
Also, don't believe these folks who say that if you vote for anyone other than one the two most popular that you'll be robbing a vote from someone else in the race. To be honest with you, if I didn't like either man running and there were no other choices, I won't vote for either one so how could I be robbing someone of a vote? All that is bull. Don't worry about following the crowd and vote for who YOU would like to see running the country. If you think you could do a better job than any that's running, vote for yourself!
Lot's of times throughout my life I have NOT voted for any of the popular candidates and my man, or women did not win, but at least I voted in good conscience. I disagree with so many of the available candidates running this election that I just could NOT vote for them in good conscience and be satisfied with myself. At any rate, the important thing is to get out and vote, PERIOD. I was talking with a young friend that is Chinese and is not yet a citizen.... He would just love to vote but of course can't.. Where he was born, of course, they don't have elections..... He just can't understand why any American would not get out to the polls and vote... THERE IS NO EXCUSE!
I personally never vote a straight ticket..  I sat up last night and have made a list of all who will get my precious vote today....  Some are republications, some are democrats and some are of the Independent parties.....  Yep, I like to spread it around but the main thing with me is that I vote who I think will do the best job in the position they are running for. I really think that's the most important thing....  I've been wrong a lot of times.... but I've been right a lot of times as well!  SEE YOU AT THE POLLS!
Things went well here in the office yesterday and I look forward to getting a lot more work done today. I had a good bit of mail yesterday as it was Monday and am still going through some of it...  Plenty of inquires and some orders that I must get out today..... So as for me..... I must get back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Election Day!!!

It's a beautiful sunny morning here in Central Pennsylvania. It's supposed to turn cloudy and rainy this afternoon, (what's new?), but I'm enjoying the sunlight while I can....
We're starting a brand new week, plus a brand new month today. Wow! Time is flying...  One of my favorite holidays is over, Halloween, and I can't wait 'til next year but I still have Christmas to look forward to and it's coming fast.....   I always do some shopping early for Christmas.... I've had some gifts for this Christmas since about March of this year. When I run into a sale.... I take advantage of it... Now, hmmmmmm, if I can just remember what I did with them......  Oh yeah, I remember, I had to move them to keep 'em out of the flood. We still have many more gifts to get before Christmas arrives and I think we should get started early.... I know a lot of folks who wait until "Black Friday", (the Friday after Thanksgiving), to head out for the stores but I just don't like standing in lines that much. I had a sales clerk tell me last week, at a VERY popular store, that as far as he can see mostly what people will see at their store are a lot of sales that offer rebates and that's about it...  If you like rebates then "Black Friday" is for you. I have a $100 rebate on the new computer I bought last week that I haven't done as I hate getting those darn things ready to send in... They make you "jump through hoops" to get your discount. I like the old fashion discounts that you receive immediately for buying the product at that time. Those are the "good" ones! Oh well, rebates are now the "in" thing so I'd better get used to them. It's tough keeping track of them as it takes them a long time for them to get the check back to you. I had one that took almost six months to get back! When I send them in, I put them in my computer and once a month check them out to see if I've actually received a check. After 4 months, I think it's time to start complaining. Incidentally, keep track of the receipts and things that involve any rebate you're waiting for as you may need them to get what's due you. Especially if it's pretty big, you know, like $100 bucks!
I still haven't completely finished the
OAMA "stuff", the Newsletter, Monthly Member Benefit Directory, Statements, and Checks, etc, so I must finish all this morning so I can get them into today's mail. We must do a little shopping today so hopefully I can get all this OAMA "stuff" wrapped up by 1:00 PM today.
More promises from the
DollarMonster program. They sent out a letter to members yesterday saying that they will be doubling and paying out within the next couple of days. I'm not sure it's even worth mentioning as they've left us down so many times with their deadlines and predictions....  However, they ARE still in business and apparently still trying to take care of their members and keep them informed so that's "a good thing" as Martha would say, if she were out of jail.
Well, thinking about all the "stuff" I need to get done today, I'd better get my butt back to work and YOU, YOU have a GREAT Monday!!!
