Here it is ~ almost the end of July.... summer is flying away. I just ordered Kyle new strings for his guitar. Sweetie is playing with the dogs on the front porch. Most of all I am enjoying my rare, sort of, day off. There is so much to catch up on. Bill harvested this years garlic crop. It is drying in the barn. The first round of corn has been harvested. We are working on food preservation this year. We have dried corn, carrots, green beans and a few onions. Easy to throw in to a hearty stew this winter.

We are missing Kyle tremendously. He does call when he can. It is hard on his new wife. But the time is passing, just a bit slowly for her. He will be home for his mid tour leave in September. We are all looking forward to that.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Together Forever!

ALLTEL/VERIZONWIRELESS are one today!

Some of you know that I am an outside sales consultant.

I sell the VZW product and plans.

A little over a year ago, VZW announced the acquisition of Alltel.

The deed is done. Not with out many headaches.

So all of you former Alltel users, visit your nearest VZW outlet
and find out what options are available. I am on call today and
have not had a day off in 14 days..... Yes, I will be glad when all
of this settles down! The unknown was horrible, as always!

To my regular readers, If it isn't family obligations~it is work!

So once again an apology to you!

I miss my blogs and blog friends....

... where did I put that coffee cup?

Hey, anyone see my coffee Cup!

You know I don't have blood....

I run on CAFFIENE!

Have a great day!

My son turns 21 ~ A view from Iraq

Kyle has been in the middle east now for 2 1/2 months.
He turned 21 yesterday! I miss him alot.
Communication is surely different today!
He has his cell phone and computer.
Skype makes it realtime. He called this AM and I missed it.

Happy Birthday, Kyle!

Summer is here.... what are you up to?

MY, MY, MY.... one of my friends at the CommentExchange kicked me in the butt this week. She essentially said (paraphrasing) ~Get off your lazy rear and post something new!~ So here I am, at 11:17pm going through all the other "web" stuff I have put off this month. So what do I post about? MMMMMMMMMMMM Well, I keep trying to figure out how to make money on the internet. I am not so successful at that. Oh, I make $5 here and $2 there. Money is Money. But, as much as I love selling, I would rather be selling for me. Not for "The Man", you know. Catch 22~I have to keep the job with the man in order to live and thus not enough time to build a business to earn enough to live. (Are you confused yet?)

I want to hear success stories. Lots and Lots of success stories. Are you or anyone you know actually making enough money to live on? My friend John over at Potpolitics is running a series of posts by La Teasa at Home Business Success. I just really haven't had the time to really, REALLY read the articles. So that is my goal..... I am going to read the guest posts and really search La Teasa's site and see what I learn. If I learn something really good, I will let you know.

Until then....
The strawberries were great this spring
Green beans are going gangbusters
The first round of corn is days away from harvest
The bees are doing there thang (I hope there is enough honey to harvest this fall)
The girls are still blessing us with eggs
Buck is growing from a puppy into a lovely dog
Sugar has the patience of Job
And my Sweetie of Sweeties is the best Sweetie in the world
........ and he's all mine! :P

Just when...

...you think life is slowing down a bit~it speeds up tenfold! My grandkids have been visiting the last week and a half. Needless to say with work and play, the blog has suffered! Hope everyone is having a great beginning to a great summer!

Make Money on the Internet

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:29:00 +0000

Making money on the internet...... I just ain't figured it out yet. Most programs and schemes out there want money. Now, I am not opposed to investing in an opportunity. I just don't like to go around and throw the money down the toilet. Being burned makes one more cautious. I ask questions of people and get snide answers about doing homework. Well, part of my homework was trying to get a response out of someone who is actually working the program and making it work. I don't want the company hype. I want a real conversation. I am a sales person. I know the buzz words. I want to make money, but I don't want to be suckered in to suckering other people. There are many people out there who are more gullible than I am. I do not want their money.

I try to live frugally. That means controlling my money and resources. I try to make the world a better place. That means not scamming people into giving up money just so that I have it.

So here is my challenge:

If you make a living on the internet, tell me why I should use your program. Tell me why the program benefits you and others.

Remember, I am looking for a REAL conversation!

If you prefer not to converse here, just send me an email.
