Ya Can't Mount a TV on a Window!

So what about plasma mounts do people need to know. They mount a plasma screen television, yes... However, I've heard too many bad things about how easy plasma screens can be damaged. As a matter of fact, I've even seen someone giving away a plasma because the colors are running.

As for out household, even if we wanted to mount a flat screen, lol we have way to many windows that it's pretty much an impossible thing to do. For those who do have a plasma, I'd love to hear what they think, however!!

A Payperpost Disappointment

Okay, so I'm seriously disappointed in the new and improved payperpost. Not longer are opportunities available at just any price range. You have to actually pick your own set price and hope sponsors are willing to go for it. I really liked the old system where everyone had a chance to earn cash by writing approved posts even if the amount was only for $1.00. And to be quite honest, I really didn't mind standing in line to wait for an opportunity, so bah hum bug to payperpost I say... BAH HUM BUG!

That's Just Life

I'm all for taking a break from life for a week or two, but Ive gotten to the point of realizing this is just a lost cause since I can never afford to do so and have too much work to do no matter what. Sure, I could slack up on the work, but doing so means the bills don't get paid. Is there bills I can simply cut? Not unless I don't want to work, want to see, stay warm or having running water. Those are all the bills besides the mortgage payment.

There is no dropping this or that or tightening the budget and if you've read my prior posts then you know that hilton head vacation rentals are out of the question for us at the moment.Such a shame, but that's life for almost everyone at the moment.

I like Twitter But.....

One of the biggest problems I have with twitter is businesses who add you just to be adding you. There's like this competition of who can get the most people on their add list. I mean really, why who I need to add a beauty salon to have my hair done in Washington D.C. when I live in Kansas?
And just how many ways do I need to learn to make money online that simply don't work. And who really wants to weed through all of that just to get to a good conversation with someone.

Cut your list back and weed out those you tend to skip over. It's okay to love some businesses and it's okay to promote stuff, but at least take the time to sit down and let everyone know you're alive as well. Start a conversation with someone about your life, not your business. Ask them about their day and really mean it. Get involved with what they're interested in.

Twitter is so much better when you really enjoy what you're reading. I know lately I've seen a lot of businesses I thought were more than just out to promote that I'm getting ready to drop from my list. I'd much rather follow a few friends than follow thousands of businesses that I generally ignore to get to what my friends have to say. What about you?

Such a Shame

I've been considering using an online university to go back to school because I just don't have time to go to a local college. What I've actually decided is to go into CSI (crime scene investigation) or journalism. It's a hard decision because I have a passion for both, so I may end up going for both if I can afford to do so.

Now from what I can see this online college even has information on tuition and financial aide. It's perfect since we don't have a real income coming in and my husband has been laid off for nearly a year now.

The university is also accredited which means it's accepted with many businesses. So the final test was to take a look and see if they have the online degree programs I am actually looking for. And unfortunately they don't have either, which is a shame.

Bored with Stoney B's Karaoke

For those of you who don't already know, I love to sing so when I learned several months ago that Stoney B's restaurant and bar here in Independence, Ks offered karaoke, I decided to check them out. For a while things were great. I could sit back and listen to everyone sing and get some songs in myself, but lately things have been a whole lot different there.

It used to be that you could sing karaoke and maybe a few dance songs would be played once in a while or at the very end of the night when karaoke was ending. Now it's more like one person gets to sing and about 4 dance songs are played and another person gets to sing and 4 more dance songs are played.

Now for those of you who also don't already know, I'm not a big drinker. It's just never been my thing and I don't like the idea of going out and just getting drunk for the fun of things. I might have a beer or a whine cooler once in a great while, but that's the extent of things. So when I'm sitting around waiting for karaoke with nothing else to do I'm not impressed and apparently neither are a lot of karaokers at Stoney B's lately it seems.

And maybe it's just me but when you offer karaoke, should it be just that? People who go to sing karaoke want to sing. They're generally not interested in dancing all night long and I think that all of the karaokers that hang out at Stoney B's would agree.

I only hope in the future things pick up with the place because if they don't I may move on to another local restaurant here in Independence, KS that does karaoke and I wouldn't be surprised if others decide to do the same.

The Gap That Makes Me an Ugly Duckling

A lot of people have never seen me truly smile. I chose to hide that smile as much as possible when I was young because I have this gap (big enough I can slide my tongue in between it) between my two front teeth. To make matters worse I also have a few crooked teeth in the front and an overbite.

Now you might say it's no big deal, but when you're a child and you're ignored or made fun of because of your smile it really is a big deal. I've had locks thrown at me, my head shoved in a toilet and my pants dropped in the middle of the hallway in between classes because of that smile.

And even today I have had people make fun of it or shy away from me because of it. At one time I had someone tell me that I needed to put a piece of bubble gum in between my two front teeth to hide the ugliness. I'm older and wiser and sucked that one up, but every now and then comments like those do get to me.

I know I'm a big girl, but there are kids out there who should never have to go through what I did growing up. No one should no matter who they are, what they look like, etc. And as far as dental work, there's nothing mother nature can do and nothing we can do on our own to correct a smile.

That's why I love dentists who believe in helping those with low self-esteem due to their smile, soar. Like the Plano cosmetic dentist who I would thank in person if I could just because I know others are smiling with a brand new future thanks to dental work.

Hey, I may never get my smile fixed for the lack of funds, but at least it's nice knowing a dentist cares about someone's smile who can afford the dental work! So thank you for brightening their day.

So What About Associated Content?

Apparently since I haven't been keeping track of what's new with Associated Content, they've made a few changes. For one, I've noticed that many of the articles they'd posted before were paid content, are now no longer paid. It was one of the biggest reasons why I started writing articles for their website. I enjoy getting paid just like everyone else.

Still, I must say even with the no-pay on articles, they're still paying for website traffic to my articles which is nice. In fact it was so nice that I was actually jumping up and down at the $4 I was paid within a matter of a week for long past dues. Yep, excited over $4, kinda scary huh!
