How Can I Prosper?

Lord Help Us ALL!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sun, 06 May 2012 19:39:00 +0000

Sorry I am ranting this Sunday Morning.

I am so sick and tired of see how we treat each other in this world today. You pick up a newspaper, magazine, watch the nightly news and all you see are reports of foolish, asinine, egotistical, greedy, murdering, thieving, back-stabbing, slandering, maniacal, self-centered, deceitful people there are in this world. My God, why can't we all just get along.

I think about all the possibilities and opportunities we all have each and everyday to do something good for someone else other than ourselves that would actually make us feel good. But instead we take the easy way out and short change ourselves from a lot of pure joy and pleasure. Why do we do this? That is the million dollar question!

Do you ever ask yourself why did I say that? Why did I do that? No, we just think whatever, and move on. I for one am going to make a concerted effort to pay attention to the people I come in contact with and try to do something or say something that will leave that person I just came in contact with better off than they were before I crossed their path.

How hard is it to say Good Morning to some one? Hi, how ya doing? Make eye contact and give some one a smile.

You see someone at work your approaching and they look a bit down. So smile at them and ask them how their day is going and tell them it's good to seem. Oh by the way, have you ever been to Youtube.com and seen the video Free Hugs....just search that for a title and it watch a few videos they always warm my heart.

People need to learn to be pleasant, be nice, be helpful, be a friend, just go the extra steps and be a real honest to God human being. How freaking hard can that be? Really! Stop all this madness in the world. We can all make this a better place to live, work and play. One single action on your part can cause a change reaction across the world if we only try. Do your best at being you!

Aren't you tired of hating, fighting, losing your mind in all the insanity that goes on in our everyday lives? And for what? A cheap, short lived rush with a let down that blows your whole day I am guessing. Who needs that? I want a feel good all day rush with many blessing because I chose to go the extra few steps in making someones day! Yep I love to feel good ....heck we all do. Don't you? Don't you enjoy that feeling of inner peace and tranquility? I know that things happen that upset us in our daily lives and with that comes those feeling of anger sometime, but if we can just stop for a moment before we do something we will regret and see how we can work through that problem it can turn out to be a win, win for all. Didn't your Momma ever tell you, "When life hands you lemons make lemonade!"

Think about it. You call some one Stupid! You just gave them a scar....did you know that? Words can some time cut deeper than a knife. Think about it this way. If you stabbed someone with a knife and pulled the knife out and said "oh I'm sorry"... did it fix the hole you just left in them ....Hell no it didn't. Same with words if you say horrible things to people, call them nasty names only to say ....Oh I'm sorry, would that make you feel better....Hell no it doesn't! Oh they may say your forgiven but it's still with them that scar you inflected on them. It never goes away, it's in embedded in their mind forever. Stop the madness stop it now!

Life is to short to be a mean, nasty, lying, angry, greedy, thieving, back-stabbing, self-centered, uncaring human being! So live life as a happy, helpful, sharing, trusting, honest, caring person that gives love not scars!

You are special in your own unique way and there is a purpose for you being here so as you explore the world and share your love with those you meet on this journey called LIFE that is how one can truly PROSPER!

Have a blessed day!

Beauty Products Can Be Costly

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 16:22:00 +0000

Here is a great tip for you ladies who are big fans of pore strips. You know those strips you place across your nose to get all the dirt and grim out of your pores. These strips are very costly and they can be a bit of a pain to use but I have found an awesome way to save a bit of money and do a great job of really get all that stuff out of your pores.

So what you will need is:
A clean face
A small microwave cup or container
A small brush for applying the mixture to your nose (cheap clean brush)
1 tablespoon of milk from your frig.
1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin like Knox brand but you can use any brand

Mix the milk and gelatin in the microwave safe cup or container. It should look kind of chunky.
Then place in your microwave for only 10 seconds only and that's it.

Make sure you just test it on the back of your hand so you don't burn yourself and then apply all over the nose area and let it dry for about 10 minutes. Then slowly peel it off and just look at all that gunk that comes off. Risen any residue off. Now is a good time to apply any facial products since the pores are clean and will absorb better.

Hope this helps save your a bit on money and helps you have a more healthy looking skin.

Happy Independence Day!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 03:16:00 +0000

"Happy Independence Day"

Let us celebrate on July 4th " Independence Day ", because that is the day when the Continental Congress adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence.

It is a time to remember that independence is the spirit and the soul of this great nation. May the fireworks fly with the rockets red glare in celebration of Our Day of Deliverance and that liberation from captivity is what we honor and so often forget.

And forever independent we will remain. If we continue to fight back.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day!

Savings Account at Emigrant Direct.Com

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 16:00:00 +0000

I love this site for stashing away some extra cash for that rainy day and so should you!   You can have money transferred directly from your own checking account which is very easy to do online. So go ahead and check it out.

Start out small then set up an automatic draft for say 25.00 month or more and just watch it add up. But remember this is your rainy day fund or perhaps you Christmas fund ...who knows. I like knowing I have a little cash tucked away for those hiccups that come along once in awhile that can really throw you for a loop. You will have to wait about 3 business days to get the money transferred back into your checking account but to me that is not a problem and again you never know you might just decided you really didn't need it after all.

Go ahead see what your current bank is offering in the way of interest and I bet it won't be as high as Emigrant Direct is offering. Right now it is at 0.80% APY and that's better than my bank Chase I am sure.

       High Interest Savings Account Highlights Emigrant Direct

No Fees. No Minimums.
Open your high interest savings account online. It's quick and easy.
No need to change your checking account. Your AmericanDream SavingsAccount™ will be linked to your current checking account.
Up late? Access your high yield savings account 24/7 at EmigrantDirect.com.
Have a question? Visit our online banking FAQ page.

In fact I couldn't even get Chase to tell me what the APY is ...oh wait I called back and they wanted my name full name...grrrr I didn't give it only my first name...what state I was in and if I had a checking account they wanted that too, I did not get them my checking account info I did give the State then she asked was it North Texas I said yes finally got an 0.50% APY . That was like pulling teeth just to get that information and me trying to explode on this lady, in fact the second person I had to talk to just to get the freaking APY. Can we say O.M.G.!!!

It almost makes me want to change banks because every time I call just to get a bit of information they give me the 3rd degree. What happened to customer service and just answering a customers questions. And if your going to ask me a bunch of what I think is unrelated questions then tell me why you need that information. How will that benefit me in the long run. It makes me think that if you see I have a small checking account you will give me a smaller APY? What the heck. Who knows why all the questions because know one told me how it would benefit me and that might have helped me be not so aggravated with the 3rd degree.

Anywho....just check Emigrant Direct out see if it's a good match for you. Happy Savings to all.

Chocolate Chip Cookies.....yummmm

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 00:39:00 +0000

Well I had my grand kids at my house today and so we made Chocolate Chip Cookies. Oh my goodness I had bought sometime late in December some Tom Thumb chocolate chips they are the Safeway brand because they were on sale for like 0.88 cents a bag and bought 4 of them thinking I would use them for Christmas and I didn't.

However I dragged those puppies out and decided to make a double batch. That makes 10 dozen cookies. I have some in my big cookie jar, some in the freezer and the last batch is cooling off now....opps I put a dozen in a tupperware container to take to work on Monday. I have cookies coming out my ears. This recipe is really quite good. I am one of those people to doesn't really like hard or really soft cookies but these are just right.

Here is the recipe from the back on the package:

1/2 lb Butter (2 sticks) softened
1 cup Packed Brown sugar
1/2 cup Granulated sugar (white)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
12 oz bag Safeway Chocolate chips from Tom Thumb
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

In a large mixing bowl with electric mixer, mix butter until creamy. Mix in brown and white sugars, salt and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in eggs and baking soda. Add flour. Mix on low until incorporated. Mix in chocolate chips and nuts (optional). Drop onto greased or sprayed baking sheets by rounded tablespoon about 1 1/2 inches apart.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes until tops are set when lightly pressed with fingertips and color is golden. Let stand 2 minutes and remove to racks. You can store air tight for several days or freeze them. Makes 5 dozen cookies depending on how much dough you drop for each cookie.

I estimated the cost of making a double batch of these to be about 0.06 cents a cookie. Try comparing that to store bought cookies and I think you will agree that making homemade cookies is cheaper.
And if you look at it this way I would call them free....lol since I already had the ingredients on hand! I did not try to figure the cost of the electric stove use but I still feel homemade is better simply because I know what went into the cookies. No additives except for what was in the Chocolate chips themselves and fresh ingredients! Simply yummy.

Hope you try these out sometime this is now my favorite Chocolate Chip cookie recipe!

If your a Nestles Toll House cookie fan then go here for a .50 cent off coupon for their Chocolate chips and if your store doubles then that's even better.
Here is the Nestles Toll House Chocolate Chip link for coupon.

Coupons Are Just Like Cash.....Use Them!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 02:17:00 +0000

Hi I am back again, sorry I don't post as often as I should but I will try to do better in the future.

So for all you new coupon user's out there here is a very good site that will list all the coupons that are likely to be in your Sunday Inserts. So please bookmark it and you will know ahead of time if it's worth spending that extra $1-$3 bucks or more each Sunday.

http://www.sundaycouponpreview.com/

Coupons are just like cash so use them folks! Especially with the cost of things rising every day. Your food budget is among one of the largest bills you pay each month and it's also probably one of the only one's that you can make a big dent in by just learning to use coupons. Why pay an arm and a leg for something when you just don't have too. By knowing a few tricks about couponing, you can take that big food bill each month from $600 down to possibly $300 or less each and every month if you learn how.

There are so many excellent websites for printing online coupons, finding great sales, learning the in's and outs of coupon clipping that will really help reduce you over all monthly budget. Really all you have to do is google Coupon Savings and you have just hit the jackpot!

I have used coupons off and on but never really learned how I could save a fortune off my grocery bill each month until the beginning of 2011. I have saved so far over $800 dollars easily. I have also started my own little stockpile and now I don't spend nearly as much each month on groceries.

So go ahead and take that leap into the Awesome World of Coupons! Men this is not just for women so grab a pair of scissors and get your behind in gear for some great savings and who knows you might be able to save enough for that awesome ___________ well you fill in the blanks. Good luck and happy couponing.

Get Ready For Christmas Starting NOW!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 08:39:00 +0000

I read something recently on I Heart The Mart and this has got to be a great idea for making sure your ready come this Christmas. If your a Walmart shopper or even a Target shopper and you buy groceries every week then why not pick up a refillable Gift Card and each week add an extra $5.00 or $10.00 bucks each time you stop by. Come Christmas time you should have a nice little chunk of change to buy those presents.

I don't care if you find something on sale you think you really need and decide to use that card your filling up for Christmas....."Don't Do It, back away from the card buckoo or you'll be sorry when Christmas time rolls around."

If your a Target shopper and you use the Target Credit Card or like I do I use the Target Debit Card (the Red Card) so no big credit card debt adding up....by using either card you always get an extra 5% off your bill each time you shop at Target. How great is that? And if you use coupons and then your 5% off well your just as smart a shopper as I am.

Also, don't forget Walmart Price Matches other competitors sale prices so if you have a local store and you see a couple of great sale items but don't want to make a special trip for one or two items why not try have it price matched at Walmart.

Saving for me has now become an addiction and what a great addiction to have. :))

Food Prices Getting The Best of YOU?

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 01:46:00 +0000

I have started using coupons and stockpiling and it has paid off big time. If you use to use coupons and then just stopped because you just didn't think it made a big enough difference...then you might want think again.

You can save a lot of money if you know how to do it! Oh, I know you think it's a lot of trouble or time consuming. Well, it can be if you do it alone. So in my recent quest to save money I have found a site called SavingsAngel.com

This is a wonderful site that will walk you through everything you need to know. It has fabulous tutorials and videos to teach you what you need to know when it comes to saving money on food and other things your family needs and uses everyday. Once you see how easy it is you'll wonder why you hadn't found out about this sooner.

What if all you had to do was buy a Sunday paper for each person in your household....for me that's 4 papers with 4 sets of coupons inserts. Then all I have to do is go to my SavingsAngel.com and plug in the stores I shop at to see what's on sale and what I need and it tells me what Sunday paper insert a corresponding coupon is in for that sale item and I just go to my handy file and look for say Sunday 2/20/11 (RP, SS, P&G, GM, Unilever) that's RP (RedPlum) SS (SmartSource) P&G (Proctor&Gamble) GM (General Mills) and so forth and then cut out the coupons. Yep, I don't cut coupons until I am ready to make my list and go shopping. But that's not the only source for coupons. There are plenty of good online sources for printing off internet coupons to use at the grocery or pharmacy type stores and yes they will take them.

To get the most bang for your buck is when you use a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon and the item is on sale. Or manf. coupon, store coupon, sale item and with stores like Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid and a few other they have rewards on top of all everything else. And with the money you save you can use that for things like your produce, meat or dairy items that may not have coupons available.

My last trip was to Target recently. My total bill before coupons or anything else was $119.72 but I only paid $84.00 that's a savings of $35.72. I don't know about you but for a savings of $35.72 I will continue to use coupons. I have had other trips that were better but not all trips will save you like they show on TLC extreme couponing where a the person walks out only paying 1.02 for hundreds of dollars worth of groceries. Don't get me wrong it can be done but it's not an everyday occurrence but makes for good TV.

Always be sure and check out all the benefits a store may have to offer because you might miss out on something great like Kroger's .10 cents off a gallon promo or Target with their extra 5% off all purchases using their Target credit card or Target debit card. For that last trip to Target using my Target debit card good only at Target I get an extra $4.40 off my bill. I was excited about that and my trip before that to Kroger netted me the .10 cents off a gallon on my gas my bill was $305.10 and I only paid out of pocket $152.61 and I had two shopping carts for their big Dayton 500 sale and boy it was a good one!

So rethink the using of coupons and start saving money and yes stockpile a bit you don't have to go over board but with tough times it's time to saving cause honey the rainy days are here!

Be sure to check out SavingsAngel.com for wonderful tutorials and shopping lists they teach you everything you need to know about saving money on your groceries hands down the best site around. And you can even get your own subscription free just by referring others.

You can even get 30 days free please check it out and if not satisfied get your money back it's as simple as that. Be sure to use My Affiliate No.#: 37383

Saving Money and Knowing Sale Cycles

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 13:29:00 +0000

I found this great site called the Krazy Coupon Lady and they have an awesome article that can really help you stock up on the best deals and the right time of the year buy them. This year is my year of savings. I am learning to be a Krazy Coupon Lady myself and I am find it really is worth my time and effort to ......yes CLIP COUPONS!

I have started by going to Wally World on Sunday and getting 4 of the Sundays papers which mine have them 2/$5.00 and as a bonus for the Mc Donalds customers I simply pull out the plastic insert that holds all the sales flyers and I leave the Sunday papers for their customers to ready while eating there. And it saves me the trouble of tossing or recycling the paper when I get home.

So it's a win win for all.

So for the article CLICK HERE and happy savings! Oh and be sure to bookmark that site it has a wealth of information and coupon data base and it's all free. Be sure to check out their new book too "Pick another CHECK OUT LANE, honey!" I am ording mine today.

Live well, help others and you will prosper!

Interesting Site....Looking for a New Bank?

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 03:00:00 +0000

I was surfing the net as usual trying to find you more ways to help you Prosper and I found a good one. With the economy is a slump and people losing money left and right wouldn't it be great to find a Community Bank that gives a high return on your money and all you have to do is meet the monthly requirements which are so do able.

You'll wish you had found this site sooner rather than later. These are just stable institutions offering the best checking accounts! Just visit the site and:

Search for a bank or credit union Nationwide
Review and compare
Open ...well that's up to you
Tell your friends about this great find!

Wow! How's that for helping you Prosper in these troubling times?

Here’s some good news you may not have heard about financial institutions. The majority of community banks and credit unions are not only stable, but they are still lending and fully insured by the FDIC, NCUA or ASI.

Unlike the large commercial banks, most community financial institutions have avoided unsafe lending practices. My question to you is are you with one of those large Banks? When you stay the course and continuing to support local individuals and small businesses, community banks and credit unions are largely unaffected by the downturn in the economy. In fact, many of them are in a position to be the “go to” choice for financial products and services.

In a time where it’s hard to feel safe about your money, the community financial institutions on CheckingFinder.com can provide some much needed relief. After all, their sound lending practices and product innovation are what set them apart.

It's about time to feel could about banking again wouldn't you agree?

So, pull that money out from under the mattress, it's time to put it where it will do you the most good.

This is Dianne In Texas bringing you another great find. I found one near me offering 5.02%APY....wooo hooooo!

Job Moved Me To The Wonderful World of Mortgage!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 22:44:00 +0000

Life Is What Happens When Your Making Other Plans!
Hate to say this but I am really getting bad and doing updates. Well work was a bit weird for a while and now I have gone from credit card collections to the Mortgage world of Loss Mitigation. My company moved me to a whole nother world.... Mortgage!

But hey, the good news is I still have a job. They could have said...we no longer need your services, but lucky for me the company I work for moves people around instead of out the back door.

Let's see... what I am now doing is helping with the Home Affordable Modification program that the government came out with about a year and a half ago. We really do try to help people keep their homes. Trust me the banks don't want to be saddled with a boat load of empty homes. They would rather help lower your monthly payments due to job loss, death of a spouse or some other major life problem that keeps people from paying their regular mortgage payment than have to kick people out on the streets leaving people homeless and the bank with an home empty, unattended to and just waiting to be vandalized.

From what I have learned so far is that people who check with the their lenders for help go through most of the necessary steps and then drop the ball on their paper work. This seems to be what I am seeing most. If you go through all the motions of trying to save your home then please, please return your paper work... all of it. People are getting kicked off these programs for not returning documentation that is asked for. It is such a pity to see this happen. FYI... it may take a while to get this done, just stay in contact with your mortgage provider or lender while trying to get through the process.

If you can no longer afford to make your monthly loan payments, you may qualify for a loan modification to make your monthly mortgage payment more affordable. Millions of borrowers who are current, but having difficulty making their payments and borrowers who have already missed one or more payments may be eligible. Here is the website to find out I hope this helps.

http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/modification_eligibility.html

Always check with the company that services your loan about a Modification it's free because Foreclosure rescue and mortgage modification scams are a growing problem. Homeowners your must protect yourselves so you do not lose money—or your home.

Just be sure to check and read the website listed above for all kinds a good information you need to know about making an informed decision about the Home Affordable Modification program.

And you may find if you not eligible for the HAM your mortgage company may have other plans to assist you. You won't know unless you pick up the phone and ask.

A word to the wise...if you are in the beginnings of having financial problems and need help call before you start to get behind.

Have a blessed day everyone and keep your thoughts positive!

Wow I've Not Been Here For Awhile

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:56:00 +0000

Well we all get caught up in our lives sometimes and I guess that's about all I can say. My family is doing good and I have a new grandson who is 14months old now and doing awesome as well as his Mom and Dad. I have been addicted to Facebook ....that's bad.

After realizing it's not a productive thing ...oh don't get me wrong it can be a great tool for social networking and such. But to much time has been spent there I fear.

Let me see if I can come up with anything new of interest and I will post it soon. For now I am trying to get with leads for my new home business. So in the next couple of days I will be making some posts.

Everyone have a blessed day,
Dianne in Texas

Do You Like To Garden and Grow Your Own Food?

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:12:00 +0000

Funny how the people on the Hill are going after AIG and it's all over the media but do you hear anything about H.R. 875? Do you even know what I am talking about?

To anyone who has ever had a garden, grown their own food or herbs be prepared for what the government has in store for us. Trust me you won't like it!

There is a bill H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009

Here it is if you have a mind to read it, if not go to Youtube type in H.R. 875.

You will no longer be able to grow any food if the government has it's way.

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-875

And yes it is filled with mumbo jumbo so you can't figure out what the hell they are talking about.

But the bottom line is you won't be able to have those lovely tomatoes you grow, or those nice juicy cantaloupes, or even those awesome tasting strawberries that your kids love to eat. Ok, I am getting more pissed by the minute. If your caught growing them, you may have the government swoop down upon you take your food and seize possibly your property, fine you and more, who knows what's in the minds of these insane lunatics....now isn't that going to be special!
I THINK NOT!!!

Here is a list of cosponsors of the bill while it does say at the bottom it may not be update see if there is anyone on this list who is your Representative. Write them let them know this can not happen and it needs to be stopped NOW!

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-875

How much longer are we as Citizens of the United States going to just sit by and let the insane people on Capitol Hill take way our freedoms one by one.

Wake up people they are killing our country strangling the life out of it each passing day. You can make a difference if you, your neighbor, or your friends speak up. If you are reading this then you have a computer, and if I am sending this to you I know you have email...duhhhh and you have a friends list. Sit your butt down take the time to call someone and everyone or email them and tell
them, enough is enough and the people on the Hill have got to go if they no long wish to serve US the people who put them in their position in the first place!

Stop voting in these senators and congressmen who are voting, doing, supporting, being swayed and bought by lobbyists who serve Corporate Giants who think they are God almighty and who seek to squeeze the life out of us everyday, to tear our country apart until we will no longer recognize this Country we hold so dear.

I bet our Forefathers are rolling over in their graves right now wondering how on God's Green Earth did this ever happen. They fought long and hard for this great Nation and WE have let the fox in the hen house. Yes you heard me right ...WE did this, We let this happen and now what are WE going to do about it? What are you going to do about it?

I hope I have struck a nerve in someone, anyone, who has the guts and fortitude to take action. Thank you for your time in reading my words as they are sincere and I myself did not vote for anyone who voted on the bailout in NOV. I also did not vote for a REP. Or DEM. for President. I did not even vote for my Senators I voted against both of them.

WE NEW BLOOD PEOPLE, FRESH IDEAS, PEOPLE WHO WANT LESS GOVERNMENT THAT'S WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS. WE DON'T NEED BIG BROTHER TO TELL US HOW TO LIVE. WE NEED LEADERS TO GUIDE US NOT DICTATE OUR EVERY MOVE!

Ok, I think that's all for the moment. But I can tell you this, if you speak up I am sure it will in some way help us all PROSPER MORE!

This is Dianne In Texas hoping everyone one will SPEAK UP AND MAKE THEIR VOICE BE HEARD! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Just Wanted to Say Think 3rd Party When You Vote!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:53:00 +0000

Hi everyone this is Dianne and I voted early yesterday in my city which is about 77,737 when I recently check. My voting experience was great for early voting.

The voting officials had the lines moving like a well oiled machine. I got there and of course there was a line and I started to turn around and leave but I didn't. It moved quickly and once at the point of about 20 people there was an voting judge at this point who said paper or electronic. You know I picked paper! I ain't letting no machine change my vote no way no how. Yes I used the word ain't get over it.

I voted for Mr. Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez, yes I did I wrote them in...easy as pie. And they had them listed there in the voting booth. So do not forget to look at it please.

My Mom said why would you waste your vote. To her I said, why would you waste your vote on a Republican or Democrat? Albert Einstein was credited with say, Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

All the republicrats have done is give us bigger government, ignore the bills of rights and the constitution. Those are not what I want. I want change and not the pennies that would be left in my pocket if I had voted for either Mc Cain or Obama.

I want a 3rd party to get in Washington and kick some ass for the stupidity that's going on there.
People aren't you tired of the crap ...wake up there are more than 2 choices when voting.

The boredom I am referring to is all the crap spewing from the mouths of the Republicrats.
And forgive the stumbling of words as I didn't have time to do a retake.

GO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4TH 2008!
VOTE, MAKE A WISE CHOICE, IF ENOUGH OF US USE OUR HEADS WE JUST MIGHT GET SOMEWHERE.

Neither the Democrat Nor the Republican If You Please
By Dianne P. 10/20/08

Neither a Democrat nor a Republican if you please
For either of these shall never please,
The you and I of These United States
For if they win they hold the keys to our future fate.
Oh my I fear that if either does win
They will sure as hell do us all in.
Alas I know I shall never vote
For neither of these men happen to float my boat.
Try as might to find that ray of hope,
Again I say they dont float my boat.
Neither here nor there, nor anywhere
Can I see a star that will take us very far.
So my quest for the best is limited as we all know,
So I guess I shall pick the least of the foe.
I see Ralph Nader who looks like a guy,
That doesn't promise all that pie in the sky.
All I hear from those two are that we need a change,
But they never tell us anything new, now isn't that a shame.
They yell we need CHANGE but never tell us how.
They stand there like nothing more than mooing cows.
He did this and he did that won't get us anywhere very fast,
I hope they both soon run out of gas.
So as the day draws near to casting our votes,
I hope you pick one that will keep us afloat.
I like that man Nader who's low in the polls,
But we might just want to see how this all unfolds.
Oh and lets not forget we can take our pen,
And even write someone else in.
So on Nov. the 4th wont you please take a stand.
For if you and I vote we might save this land.
I am proud to take part in this great epic event
Where we shall reap what we sow and
I don't want to be one that voted for the foe.

For the knock at the door is the New World Order
And I am shaking in my boots and all I can do is shutter.
I saw No the N.W.O.
Not on my watch you nasty FOE!
Please oh please, vote with your best judgment
Our lives are in our hands and we must have atonement!
So if we listen quite closely to our little inner voices
They will tell us there are more than just two choices.
Now that I'm done I hope I made you laugh and cheer,
For we need a good President who will know no fear.
He will speak out to injustice and right the wrongs.
He will make heads roll who dally to long,
In making decisions, that affect us all in this our great Nation.
Now God bless us all in our own frustrations.
For WE seek only to vote without hesitation.

Please get out and vote this November 4th
It's our right, it's our duty, and its OUR decision!

10-20-08

Thank you for reading this post and if you truly think the person your voting on will do you right then vote for that person. I just want people to know:

YOU HAVE MORE THAN JUST TWO CHOICES FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Need A Free Website For Your Biz or Personal Use?

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 20:47:00 +0000

I found a pretty cool site called FreeWebs. If you need a free website for business or personal use this is the place. You can buy a Domain name through them with a very cheap monthly payment but that's only if you want your own Domain name.

Mine is a free one and if you would like to see what you get for free then check this out:
www.healthbringsprosperity.webs.com

I myself have used this and have 2 site on there. But for my main website I use Yahoo small business and the reason is I like their site builder which you can download and work on your site at anytime night or day, then just publish to the web whenever your ready.

But I do like the FreeWebs they do look nice and have some great templates and they do have advertisements but if you buy a package you can get a site with no ads. You also have the ability to sell things on your site as well. Do check them out if you tight on money but need a website.

Just thought I would bring this to your attention in case you have not checked out FreeWebs before.

I know money is tight for a lot of folks right now and this maybe a way to keep a little more profit in your pocket.

Hoping everyone has a great weekend!
Dianne in Texas

Calling All Texans Who Need Auto Insurance!

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:45:00 +0000

Ok, folks in Texas who need to save on their Auto Insurance...and who doesn't! I have been with Standard Insurance for the last year and paid $665.00 my first year. And believe it or not that was $475.00 less than what I had been paying to Nationwide. I feel in love with Standard (SIA) that day I got my quote!!!

I could not believe $665.00 for the year are you kiddng me...he said nope that's the price.

I just called today because my policy will be up in November and I wanted to pay for the year to see if that would be better. So I said how much? He said $481.00...again I said you must be kidding me. He said nope that's the price. All I could say was I just keep loving ya'll more and more each time I call.

Folks, I am telling you call these people and get a quote! And the great thing about Standard is, they don't check your credit score. Yes, you heard me right. They don't check your credit score.

I love this company. Check out the website they have branches even outside the DFW area!

Money is to precious to waste on something like car insurance which you must have anyway so why pay more when you don't have to.

The folks at Standard are very friendly people and will answer all your questions. When I started with them I did everything over the phone and even paid online. This was just so easy!

This is the branch I used ...also the Home Office:

Hurst Office (Corporate Offices)
Mon. - Fri. 8:30am to 5:30pm
Sat. 10am to 1pm
620 W. Pipeline Rd.
Hurst, Texas 76053
(3 blocks of east of Precinct & Pipeline intersection)
817.285.1800
972.285.1800
800.929.2424
Map

www.siatexas.com/

I am one happy STANDARD INSURANCE customer and I think you will be too once you give them a call. What have you got to lose but more money down the drain!

So don't walk but run to the nearest phone and give these great folks a call and tell them Dianne in Lewisville sent ya. No I don't get anything for it. I just like knowing I was able to help someone prosper a little more each day no matter how big or small the victory maybe.

Live well, help others and you will prosper!
Dianne

P.S.
Renters don't forget about that Apt. Insurance also ...just ask for Ricardo!

Why Aren't You Taking Your Vitamins?

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:14:00 +0000

Why aren't you taking your vitamins? As a cancer survivor of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma I am well aware of the fact I need to keep myself healthy and one way I insure myself is to take my vitamins and minerals everyday and you should too!

I am now taking what I believe to be the world's Greatest Liquid Vitamin & Mineral Supplement and making money doing it.

I love the fact I can help people by introducing them to a healthy way of making sure they get the vitamins and minerals they need to keep them at their very best.

In today's world we all work hard, play hard and usually don't eat right. Well a lot of us don't eat right, but there are those that do exercise, eat right and take some form of vitamin and mineral supplements. And the reason they do is because they know how important good health is and with the rising cost of health care these days it only make good sense to take care of yourself and that includes taking your vitamins and minerals!

As you may or may not when taking vitamins and minerals in pill form you flush half of the benefits right down the toilet. But when taking a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement like GBG's 10-in-One within about 3 minutes your body is already absorbing it into your system where as with a pill it will take about 2-6 hours.

Ok I won't bore you with all the details here, just go the my site and read how you can start to improve your own health and make a good income in the process. The only requirement is to place an auto-ship order for 1 bottle of GBG 10-in One at the low price of only $19.95 plus shipping each month and that's it. So come check out the site and see what GBG 10-in-One can do for you today!

Thanks for stopping by to read this post.

Credit Card Debt Got You Held Captive?

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:57:00 +0000

I was surfing the other day and came across a great little site with some excellent and informative videos with regards to Creditors and debt. So, if your to the point of considering Bankruptcy, Refinancing, Consolidation or Settling your debts check this site out. The video's alone are a wealth of information. That's what drew me to the sight.

Also a little info for you, if you are thinking of doing settlements on any of your debts please be aware that you may have to pay taxes on any part that is forgiven and you don't have to repay. For example you have a $2000.00 debt and you settle for $1000.00, you may have to pay taxes on the $1000.00 you didn't have to repay. You would probably receive what is called a 1099c at the end of the year. Check the IRS code or a tax attorney. You don't want the IRS suddenly sending you notice you owe them....yikes

I believe that a credit card can be a friend or foe and for most American's they have become a great foe! Credit cards keep you in debt to the banks and that's just how they like it. Credit cards have become the American way of life but to what extent? Simply by making you a Slave to debt! So how do you like those
shackles dragging that ball and chain around?

Folks things right now are looking pretty bleak. Jobs being lost by the thousands or outsourced overseas. Gas prices you and I can't afford and even food is get outrageous (I just went yesterday and prices have really gone up).

You have simply got to bite the bullet and get OUT OF DEBT. How you say?

Ok you know you don't want to read this but it's true so here goes.

Well for one thing:

Stop buying crap you don't need!
Get a second job for awhile if need be.
Drive a little slower.
Take your lunch to work.
Cut back on cable or get a cheaper package.
Cook dinner! Shop those sales flyers and use those dang coupons!
Stop the fast food and eating out syndrome.
Make credit card payments ON TIME. And make darn sure you pay more than the minimum! Pay those cards off ASAP! And then stick with one and pay it off every month or don't freaking use it all.
Ask for lower interest rates!!! (I just did this with 2 cards and got 5% knocked of each card...woo hoooo!)
You can even ask for a late fee to be removed if you never asked before or you haven't been late in say the last 6 to 12 months, just ask it won't hurt and they will probably do it.
Read articles about getting out of debt to find other ways to help yourself and your financial situation.
Basically, be honest with yourself and ask do I really like my life and finances the way they are? If not, then freaking get off your ass and do something about it. (sorry I know that's not very ladylike talk but come on let's just get real ok) Nothing will ever change if you do nothing! And if you know your in deep sh*t get professional help before you it's to late!
And lastly, work with a debt card not a credit card. When you pay cash your more careful about what you buy.

You are responsible for the financial situation your in. No one else is to blame. But as tempting as credit card offers are, don't fall prey to them. If you are not going to use them correctly then by george tear those offers up and soon as you see them.

Also you can visit: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index . You can get a free copy of your credit report once a year with no charge but you won't get that credit score, that you have to pay for.

Now for the site I found. http://www.thecreditcardsolution.com/
And no I don't get anything for telling you about this site it is simply something I came across by accident. But again just watch the video's and wise up a little about debt and debt collectors and your rights. I hope you will learn to get yourself out of the enslavement and bondage of credit cards and debt in general. May God bless you on your journey to financial freedom and independence!
Being debt free will change your life forever!

How to Get Uncle Sam to Pay for Your Home Business

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:01:00 +0000

How you can prosper with your own Home Based Business by learning how to take advantage of tax saving. Why have a home based business if your not going to use tax savings that are available to you? Keep track of your spending, milage and anything else associated with your home based business...you owe it to yourself. You worked hard for what you earn! So don't turn around and just let the IRS take what is legally yours...your money!

Perhaps this video will help you understand how you can keep more of what your earn.

Sunday This one Not Quite Like the Others

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne in Texas) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:18:00 +0000

Today I spent my day reading other people's blogs, watching Youtube video's and thinking the world is evolving but into what? Progress ....hmmm? Perhaps one might think so. As new technology is introduced in various aspects of medicine, telecommunications, IT, science to name a few.

But I see a decline in us as human beings, in our way of thinking, our values or the lack of I should say....and integrity, honesty and virtue. Where are they? I see a lot of people thinking of themselves most of the time. I believe we have become the me generation. We want a quick fix for everything and when we don't get it, whatever it is, we take short cuts over looking others needs before our own. Lying, cheating, stealing our way to the top of the heap. And once we are there are we fulfilled.... no.

I see the lack of quality and discipline in ourselves like we are just wondering aimlessly. If that makes any sense to anyone. I have a job I go to everyday and I myself do it because it is my job, not because I am there for a paycheck. I am their doing what I do in order to help the people I am suppose to. Not to try and be superior over someone to make them feel less than who they are. I try to uplift people when they are down. I don't follow the crowd. I don't do things just because everyone else is. I do things with purpose. Or at least that's the way I see myself. I have even been told I try to help more than I should. Is that really possible?

I read a blog the other day about someone wanting to know how to build up a thick skin. I myself am pretty thin skinned and I think that's ok. I would hate to be someone who was so thick skinned that nothing phased them. I think that sometimes if they have such a thick skin they won't have the capability of feeling how someone else feels. Meaning how can you empathize with someone without the ability to feel things.

Example: I am a bill collector and I am 52 and have lived through quite a lot on crap in my life. I work with a lot of young people who to me are only at their job because of the paycheck and that's it. You can hear it in the way they talk to people. They themselves have never experienced an real problems in their lives because of the quick fix mentality of their Me generation parents. The screaming child who wants something and they want it now and the parent that hands it over with no real thought as to hmmm, wait, I should make them work for this or earn that. And the child has not been taught that you have to work for what you want in life and by do so you learn that feeling of independence and pride from doing something well and earning what is deserved. I know there are parents that teach their children well and to those of you I applaude you and there are those that don't and should. But if you weren't taught how, LEARN HOW TO AND DO IT NOW FOR GOSH SAKES!!!

Ok I'm rambling, I'm tired I watched 9-11 video's that somehow caught my eye and made me sad. One was were they are still finding human remains at the site then looked on the side panel and saw one about how bad it was that day and that people began jumping off the building thinking it was better than being burned alive. I still think and I am sorry to say that I believe we our government had something do with 9-11. I just kept watching those towers fall and heard the firemen talking about hearing the many explosions as when a building is being demolished.

There are just still to many unanswered questions for me.

I will just keep praying that whoever is the next President of The United States will be able to lead us with Honesty and Integrity in the future. The only thing is I don't believe it will be McCain or Obama.

So with my ramblings done and sorry if they make no sense to anyone other than myself that's ok too. May God bless us and help us ALL!

Laugh, love and live like there's no tomorrow and have an attitude of gratitude. And I thank God I read and saw what I did today for it gives me the will to try and make things better with everything I do or say. Thanks for stopping by.....Dianne in Texas
