Got an early present. "Hello Kitty Collectible Pez"

2011-12-15T01:55:00.005-05:00

A friend of mine gave me an early Christmas present, it's really cute. A Hello Kitty Pez Collection of 4 with box (it's like a lunch box kinda) in the photo below.

You can't really see them as good in the photo, but my favorite one is the bunny on the far right, though all are totally kawaii! I don't think I'm going to open it and will keep in mint condition.
I organized my email folders with filters to route them and now my survey taking will be more efficient. A friend of my family passed on, please pray for his wife and all, and please pray for me to get better too (I'm going through it which is why I have not been posting). God bless you all and if I do not post again before then, Merry Christmas to all.

Interesting news.

2011-09-08T18:48:00.006-04:00

I have some interesting news. The day before yesterday I bought Cat #1* and Cat #2 some cat food with money I made doing an online paid survey, I really needed the money for myself but as I said before I can not stand to watch them go hungry even though they are not my cats. While I was out I decided to stop at another store and did not get to complete my task there, I was approached by two young women and a very small child (Angelic little girl). One of the women leaned toward my car window and in a very drugged and drunken manor decided to tell me her sad story of how she needs to get home with her 4 year old and her friend. The street she stated she lived on was not very far at all from where we were, I live in the area and knew this, both women were on something, and I was about to say no, that I did not have enough gas to waste, which I didn't, but then my heart strings tugged seeing that little girl and so I said alright, come on, I'll take you home. On the way to their house I stated how sweet and precious the little girl was, and then one of the women said and I kid you not in a non joking tone of voice "Would you like to take her home.?" and I mean she looked at me dead serious. I avoided answering and took them home feeling happy I did but worried for the child, so I decided to pray for them. I then proceeded on about my day, then later somewhere else in open space I suddenly looked down, and in my path was a $20.00 bill, I picked it up and bought some things I seriously needed with it. I thanked God because I did not expect it, and then I told him sorry because I should have expected it. God never fails, only man fails. God is infallible, man is fallible. We are so lucky that he loves us. I am truly blessed. I needed that miracle. Now I'm off to do more paid surveys and change the world!

New Car Battery and Deer Antler Velvet

2011-09-03T16:58:00.003-04:00

I have good news, since my last post about my dead car battery I have purchased a brand new car battery, the bad news is that instead of costing what I thought, it cost $83 and some change, which was a big blow to my budget this month since I have not been taking as many surveys as I previously mentioned. Online Paid Surveys can be a very rewarding experience and usually really pays of for me but since I have been taking more time off from doing the surveys, I obviously can't make any extra money that way, lol. More good news is that I recently purchased some deer antler velvet to help with my injuries and other issues and started taking it the same day I purchased my new car battery. So far I definitely am experiencing buck power and euphoria! The bad news is that I was unable to buy cat food for Cat 1* and Cat 2*, I know, they are not my cats, but it still makes me feel bad to watch them go hungry, if you do not know who they are, please read my last post before this one. Hopefully I will make enough money today doing paid surveys to feed us all and then some.

Dead Car Battery

2011-08-30T14:55:00.012-04:00

Well, I now have a dead car battery, yep my car battery has died, and left me stranded a few times since it started acting up. I took it to get tested and it was confirmed that I need a brand new battery for my piece of crap, a 1992 Chevy Lumina. I do not have the funds to buy this new battery so I'm going to have to take money from my food budget and am hoping that I can either get enough survey money by then, (which I usually use for back up food and extras) to help pay for it, otherwise I will be fasting for a week or two, and the longest I have ever went without any food is six days when I was sick before, and that was just horrible. I have already priced the new battery and the cost is around $70.00 U.S.D. and that is before the taxes, and oh man it's going to stink having to fork that over, and the worst part about it is that not only is it possible that the battery will not last enough to get to the place to buy the new battery, but I am also right about on empty on my gas tank so I could run out of gas before I even get to get there!! (ahhhh, screams). I haven't been doing as many surveys due to shoulder pain so I would normally have this covered but since I have been taking so many days off I will now suffer even more. Speaking of suffering, I would like to encourage you all to pray for the homeless, and specifically the man I saw yesterday standing in the entrance to the local walmart and publix shopping plaza parking lot, he had a little puppy who was curled up in the pouring down rain, the puppy looked so sad, and the man was giving out free bottled water to passers by, he even had a free water sign and was clearly homeless. After seeing this, being an empath I could not contain my sorrow for this tiny little puppy dog and the homeless, all of the hurting animals and people in fact, and so I prayed right then and there, and felt so very insignificant and small, then I cried my eyes out, so please pray if you will and send Reiki if you are a Reiki Master Teacher as I am. Then some more bad news, my cat (Mister Peeps) is gone, and Blankety Blanks* cat that I have been feeding for so long (Cat #1*) is hardly ever fed at all now by them and now they have acquired another cat (Cat #2*) which they also do not feed, and he is getting very thin, though I also now feed him, I am unable to afford to and it is hard on me, so please pray about that, and if you can donate via my website, that would be appreciated. I know that with my prayers, your prayers, and the help of God, I will get through this, and hope to be through it sooner then later as the cat food bag is almost empty, and both cats were crying at my door today, I gave them a little and had to leave some for tomorrow. The only thing I know to do is pray and hope for the best. Sorry to ramble on this way but I just feel sad. Blessings to you all.

Baby Preacher again, "Kanon Tipton"

2011-08-17T05:03:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone,
Maybe you remember me posting before about the worlds youngest preacher, back when I posted the video, young Kanon Tipton was just a baby in diapers, and now he is 4 years old! He is still on fire with the Holy Spirit and is preaching again! I wanted to post the part 2 of video of him preaching so you too may be blessed by this precious gift. This just brings me to tears because it's so wonderful to hear and see. If you have not seen the other video of him preaching in diapers in one of my previous posts then click here to check that out plus another video of a baby worshiping and another one of cute baby twins laughing. Enjoy and have a blessed day.

Something funny.

2011-08-12T01:09:00.005-04:00

Something funny happened today, I was outside on my garden bench spinning plarn and crocheting it, I have developed a system to "Spin as you go" with the plarn and then continue to work the project. Anyhow, two of the neighbor children decided to stop in on their bikes today, both boys around age 11 and for some reason they love stopping to my house when they see me outside and they love to talk, and from time to time they see me spinning the plarn, but today they saw me crocheting a project with it and when they stopped to look one of them stated "Oh, that's all you do." I chuckled, and shrugged it off because I thought it was cute in that kids say the darnedest things sort of manor, lol. They rode off after rambling for a couple of minutes and then decided to come right back and talk some more, only this time one was asking what it was called that I was doing, I said that I was crocheting, and the one who made the "Oh, is that all" comment previously said, "Oh yeah, I crochet sometimes, well, I used to a long time ago." LOL Now that was funny (not that he said he crocheted before but because he is only 11 and said it was a long time ago, LOL), but not long after that he asked me more, and I proceeded to teach him on the history of crocheting and how in the time of Jesus walking this earth, shepards were responsible for most of the knitting and crocheting of fabric, they did this whilst watching the sheep herds, and he was amazed by this fact. Not long after that, he then interrupted me and said, "Hey, mind if I try that for a bit?", so I handed him my project and said, go right ahead, since he stated he crochets, LOL, which I secretly knew he made up just to sound impressive, lol. I was right, because after I handed it to him he said, "what do I do with it now?", so I tried showing him how to hdc (half double crochet), because that was the stitch I was using at that moment, and he did not even get the yarn over and identifying the next stitch part of the process, and he then lost patience and said, "Oh wow, it's not that easy." .....replay from earlier "Oh, so that's all you do." LOL I thought this was very rewarding of an experience and would gladly teach him more should he decide to ask. Thanks for reading.

So now here ya go, another installment of "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy."

My Mom thinks her cat may have feline leukemia so please continue prayers on that, I will update you when she gets the results on the testing that was done.

Prayer Requests

2011-06-30T03:31:00.005-04:00

Hello everyone, hope all is well on your end of the Earth, lol, like we each all have our own fabulous piece or something. Anyhow, one of My Mom's cats is in desperate need of prayer. His name is Mut Mut, he's a marmalade kitty, and she has had him for quite a few years. He has begun to urinate blood from his kidneys, and seriously like almost pure blood is coming out instead of urine. She took him to the vet and they said it is a common disease in male cats caused mainly by stress that live amongst only other male cats and have not been neutered, and that it can also come from the food they are eating. Some kind of male cat urinary tract disease and they said it is from stress, I guess from living around other cats that are only male, and not being fixed, and in rare cases their food can contribute to it. I do not put a lot of faith in doctors, or vets, I lost my dearly departed best friend and English Bull Mastiff (Isabell) due to mistakes made by veterinarians, and I lost my Paw Paw (My Mother's Daddy) due to lack of competency of the hospital staff when he was critical, so, and with what I know about the lies and greed, and how terrible medications are rather than natural medicine, I can only put my faith in God, and thank the Lord for the Lord. They said my Mut Mut needed to be held for 5 days but they sent him home with my mom because they saw how much she loves him. They gave her some kind of anti-inflammatory drug that I vaguely ever remembered hearing the name of before to give to him, and glucosamine to put into some prescription cat food, which he does not like and does not want to eat, and he does not like the medicine either, she is having a hard time with this situation. Please, when you have a free moment, Please pray for Mut Mut, for my Mom, for my Brother who also lives there and is taking things hard, for me because it hurts me too and I am still going through issues with my shoulder and permanent injuries, and for my Maw Maw with the Macular Degeneration issue I mentioned in a previous post. Last but not least, please pray for my cat Mr. Peeps, he has been missing for almost 2 weeks. He had not been feeling well lately either and I fear he is gone for good, but please pray anyhow that if he is somewhere out there that he comes home safe, or if not coming home, that God's will be done and that he has peace. If you ever need any prayer, or Reiki, don't hesitate to ask, I will always freely send and pray. Blessings to you all in Jesus's name.

Almost 2 months since my last post.

2011-06-01T21:57:00.010-04:00

I can not believe it's been about two entire months since my last post, and for that I apologize to my loyal readers, that whole handful of you who continue on listen to me ramble, lol. Well, I will try and make it short as to why I have been gone so long this time.
It was like some force were trying to keep me away, seriously.
1st reason : I was doing some research to try and see who in the world out there could possibly love my blog so much that they would honor me with a link. I came upon a search result that said something about "Share Knowledge" and also something about celebrating the birthday of one of the survey panels I am a member of, so I though, "Oh cool, a knowledge web site that wants to help me to get others into my army to change the world for the better." Right?......Wrong, they had the name of my blog there and some of my text there from my blog post about loving to get paid for my opinions, and there was a link near by that said "more info", so naturally thinking this was a knowledge sharing directory, I clicked the link to see how awesomely they praised me, but to my dismay, within seconds my computer was attacked by a backdoor Trojan, and if you know anything about those then you know that you basically are stuck. It immediately shut down my browser, and then would not allow me to open any programs, but since I am computer savvy I was able to find my own back doors to open things through commands and the task manager, and other ways as well, but that to no end didn't save my PC or the programs I had recently installed, so I lost some money of course. I then had to reformat and then I reloaded a ghost that I had created back in 2005, which did have most but not all of my programs I normally use. I then had to update and reinstall many things. I could not do my surveys during that time either.
2nd reason : When I got my PC back up and running I was excited to get back on the run of things and knew that I would have that over $79.00 in google AdSense money ready to compensate for my losses, errrnk wrong again. When I booted everything up and checked my main emails, there was a lovely (sarcasm) email from google stating that they had disabled my AdSense account for illegitimate activity or something to that nature, and they had refunded all of the money back to their advertisers. I emailed them back with confusion, expecting them to see my way, and of course they are greedy and turned me down and kept all of the money I had generated. I earned that money dang it, and I worked hard at it, and most importantly I really needed it. My letter to google was honest and sincere and they still accused me of having wrongful acts on the ad clicks, stating that I must have paid people to click on my google ads. Oh my gosh, I can barely put food on the table because my bills are high where I live, rent especially expensive and due to my injuries, lack of help, and being oppressed, even with the extra $100-$300 plus a month extra I make from surveys I still can not afford to move, I can't lift anything heavy without serious repercussions and have no one to help me and don't make enough to save up for another place so I'm freaking stuck until I win a sweepstakes or start making $1000 or more extra, lol. I take paid surveys constantly to make extra money to help me pay for things that I need, and sometimes I am lucky to get those little extras I can't afford, because surveys do pay nicely since I take a lot and am sincere with my responses and stay active in them, I still can't afford to pay the hundreds or perhaps thousands of people who happen uponst my blog or website to click on google ads, lol, their advertisers got free traffic off of me, and perhaps even acquired customers who purchased from them as a result of clicking on ads they served on my pages, I consider that stealing from me. I am livid with google and am thinking of changing my blog to another server. You may or may not know that now google is being sued by paypal, and of course I am a good friend with paypal, hee hee.
3rd reason : As a result from the stress I went through, my injuries started flaring up really bad and incapacitated me for quite some time, writhing in pain. I did Reiki and prayed regularly, standing on my faith, knowing that God will make a way for me like he always does.
4th reason : When I finally was able to do some surveys, my email was swamped with paid surveys and market research studies, it was definitely overwhelming and I am still catching up, but also am getting to try out some new products and am not at liberty to discuss any more than that about that topic, hee hee, but let's just say that it's really nice.
5th reason : My computer suddenly would not start up, and it took me a while to find out that somehow my sound card (I installed that sound card ages ago myself because the one that came with my PC sucked) had gotten a little wobbly and touched another card of sorts beside it in my computer tower, but I quickly identified the problem, I think it was arching and causing it to short out, so I fixed it by opening it up, repositioning it, and then tightening everything securely then closing it back off, and it has not acted up since other than my needing a new cmos battery, lol. Resetting my time everyday due to the loss of synchronization is kind of annoying though and I think I saw some of those batteries at the dollar tree.
So now I am back and will try and post a little more often once I get completely caught up on my surveys. My Maw Maw (Grandmother) is in need of prayer. The doctor has diagnosed her with macular degeneration and said she is going to go blind. She just turned 80 years old and has been active in service to God and church her entire life (She has always been the piano lady too, plus so much more), so please pray for us, and especially for her eyes. Let us pray for everyone who is suffering. I know God is able so please pair your faith with mine in a prayer of agreement, agree with me that God will shine his grace and mercy. Thanks for reading.
______________________________
This first photo reveals how I feel towards google stealing from me right now, those scam artists need to be stopped, who knows how many people they have gotten free advertising from.

___________________________________
This next image expresses how I generally feel at the moment about everything, but am slowly calming back to a neutral pace.

The moral of this is, don't sign up for google AdSense unless you wish to get bamboozled, though I'm sure some people get to keep their money, for some reason they randomly chose me to screw over.

"Yarn Addiction"

2011-03-24T20:20:00.008-04:00

Some of you may or may not know that I am a yarn addict, and also crochet of course, they go hand in hand freely, hee hee, anyhow, I just found a web site that just about had me drooling, it's called "The Yarn Museum" and has an art gallery of homespun yarn for you to drool over. Though the site itself does not look overly fancy, once you start clicking the links to all of the gallery showings you will drool as I did...... well, you will if you have a yarn addiction like I do. There is some serious artwork in there, I was ooo-ing and awe-ing deep within the core of my stomach chakra, in fact, all of my chakras were activated by staring at this beautiful yarn art. If you too would like to get your homespun yarn fix for the day then Click Here to check out the Yarn Museum. Have fun!!
________________________________

Some people stare at pictures of cars, of other people, and other things for various reasons, while I stare at crochet projects, yarn art, yarn, circle lenses, paranormal ghost cams, UFO's, e.t.c. Yeah, I'm a nerd, lol.
This photo is a Huichol Yarn Painting, a masterpiece of Huichol Art, a fantastic yarn painting in the collection of the museum of the popular arts in Mexico City. Talk about stimulating your chakras, set your's on this.

I swear I am going to start yarn bombing like this soon!! Yarn bombing is when you create artwork around the world anywhere and everywhere you can get a moment to yourself to create something beautiful, yet much like the monks who create artwork out of flour dough and food coloring the destroy it for the sake of breaking the human ego, you must be prepared for your art to be torn down should you decide to yarn bomb a street lamp on a public street, LOL. Have fun drooling, YAY Drooling!! Here goes, hee hee.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Blessings.

2011-03-17T21:53:00.007-04:00

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone. I myself am a bit Irish, amongst other nationalities. Today, I was pinched by the door greeter at Walmart for not wearing green. I told her "I'm Irish, I don't need to wear green." That old woman then proceeded to pinch me so hard I swear she burst some fat cells in my arm. I mean ouch! Prior to this pinching I received a blessing, just seconds before this blessing I was mentioning sandwich loaves and going into the bakery to make homemade foot longs, and then a man approached outside the walmart and gave me a whole box of bread, long sandwich loaves of french bread!! He was from a church organization and they had too many left over and instead of throwing it away they gave it away!! I needed it too! Thank you Jesus. The cashier at the dollar tree I stopped in on the way home told me she loved my makeup and that whenever she sees me she just is in awe and wishes to do her makeup the same as me, then she asked me if I had gone to cosmetology school, and I said no, and then said that if I were younger I would go, and then she said I was young, and then when I told her I am 36, she gasped in disbelief and said "Well, you look great." That really made me feel good. I seriously needed that lift. Thank you Jesus! I saw a boy in the line at walmart who is in need of prayer, he was using those walking canes that attach to the forearms, and seems to have to use them to walk, let us pray for all children in need. I have knelt down today already and did so. OK, so now below I have a long line of "Happy St. Patrick's Day" photos, I grabbed the ones I liked the most. May you have a blessed day too.
______________________________
I did not create the following images, they are just photos I found on a web search for Happy St. Patrick's Day, and I am Not hot linking them either. I did not order them by favorite either, the order is random except for the last photo, LOL.

And Just because but not really St. Patrick's day Related, LOL.

Mourning for Japan

Today, as yesterday, I felt gloomy, and was not sure why at first. My pain was more intense, and I felt like I had been weakened. I was at my kitchen sink doing dishes when suddenly it hit me, I was and am in mourning for what has happened to our extended family, Brothers and Sisters, over in Japan, I then began to cry and bawl like a baby, I felt like part of myself had been taken away. My thoughts, prayers, and Reiki goes out to each and every one who are suffering. There are many American Japanese as well who may have lost loved ones who live in Japan, or who will be effected by what is happening over in Japan. Let us all pray, in fact as you are reading this now, please take a moment to stop right here, and be silent, appreciate your family and loved ones, the time is coming when we all must either do something, or be left behind, pray right now while you are appreciating what you have while you are still here, let us pray for peace, balance, harmony, wakefulness, strength, compassion, wisdom, discernment, and resolution. May God richly bless you all. I have said this before and will say it again, "When one is broken, we are all unmended." I hope we can make that change for the better before it is too late.

Barbie has come a long way and LOL

2011-03-11T20:13:00.006-05:00

When I think of all of the Barbies I have owned, sheesh. Now a days Barbies are dressed like whores, LOL, but back on topic here, I would like to point out that Barbie has been through some changes, and here in this video below is one change she went through that I found kind of humorous. Barbie has been something that young girls pretended to want to be, even when we get older we want our makeup just like Barbie's makeup, well, at least I do, and I find that I'm really partial to 1960's Barbie style makeup due to the shape of my eyes and the fact I find it totally kawaii, classy, and full of moxie!! So without further adieu, here is the video.

Look at her eye shape, and makeup style, even when in black and white it's nice.

Out with the Old, in with the New, "Spring Cleaning"

2011-03-11T19:00:00.005-05:00

Well, out with the old and in with the new is an expression that can be used to describe the unfolding of the new year coming into the spring time for cleaning once more!! Ah, old dust and dirt begone, nothing to linger on from the year past. Once more I find the time to clean out the inside of my car, (with no vacuum to reach it mind you) dusting it, sweeping out the floors and interior, oh my gosh, having injuries sure is hard. One thing I have figured out that comes with age, as we get older we develop the ability to predict the weather, with all of the aches and pains, ha ha, (Not really funny, don't laugh or else, lol, just kidding.) As soon as the weather is going to change, whether it be to get colder, or for heavy rains, the bodies injuries or wear and tare begin to ache real bad, so today was a double doozy, ouchy oozy because not only did I clean out the inside of my car, but the weather also got colder. I guess you don't have to be getting older to have the ability to predict the weather, anyone with injuries could, but somehow for me, as the years have passed, it has become more intense. Though I may look to be a maiden, I feel like a crone, LOL. So glad I cleaned up that mess though. Now is the time to step back and look at your life as well and see what it is that needs cleaning up, even though it may not be always something physical, perhaps it's something else. Take the time today to tell those you love that you love them, don't have regrets later and end up saying "Should'a, could'a, would'a" and then crying, lots of crying. Everytime I go past the dog park I think of my dearly departed dog Isabell, and how I wish I could have had more time to do fun things with her like go to the dog park, instead of wallowing in my own pain. Sometimes we have to push past the pain to get to the rewards that are waiting.

Inbox Explosion Today, LOL

2011-03-03T00:46:00.005-05:00

I had an Inbox Explosion Today for sure. When I logged in, I had almost 400 emails of paid online surveys and some newsletters but not many, and when I was finished going through the newsletters and other things, I was left with a whopping 300 plus emails, I mean it was swamped, literally riddled with paid emails and paid online surveys from market research companies I am a panelist with. Here is picture proof below of my inbox, seriously. Whew, lots of work but it will pay off. Glad I saved an energy drink for tomorrow, LOL.
