wow, have I ever been busy. I've been busy making things for my etsy.com shop.This is a post reguarding my life with Q-link.
I just recieved my q-link bracelet yesterday. The minute I put it on, I felt a burst of energy, kind of like a battery. It never really stopped. At night, I wore it on my watch arm, cause I'm not sure what it does to watches. I have the small amount of information that came with it, and I've read the pros and cons about it.
When I put the bracelet on, it was immediate. Then, it's subtle. I'm going to try wearing it for a week, and then not wear it and see if I notice any difference. I had a metalic taste in my mouth. It stayed there for hours.
The energy recieved is not like, energy from drinking a Red Bull or anything,but it's there.
My Jewelery
I’m thinking seriously, about opening an Etsy store. Why? cause I knit scarves, macramé earrings and jewelry and I’m developing my own jewelry line. Like today, for instance, I spent hours, just making jewelry.
These are my quicker earrings. They don’t use alot of materials, take a few knots,and are not tricky. I don’t use animal products in my earrings. (I do wear a bracelet by Dog-eared Designs, that is leather, with a silver peace sign.) I try to use materials I have: sock yarn makes a gorgeous necklace, earrings or bracelets, is not a cheap mat, and is quite durable. The earrings below are macraméd with sock yarn. The bead is a faux bone. I love hemp and also waxed linen thread. These will either be give aways, or free items, or inexpensively priced for Etsy, or for Entrecard credits on Entrecard. The ear wire is hypo-allergenic.
The next bracelet does not yet have a clasp. It is finished, except for that one item. It might end up on Etsy.com. I might end up making a second one to put on Etsy.com. It is real crystal, good wire, and is delicate, yet firm. It is worth over $15.00,and I’m wondering if it’s too much money to put something for $15.00 on Etsy? If I changed it to earrings, it could sell for less.

What They Shouldn't Have Discontinued
What They Shouldn't Have Discontinued:
Avon Natori Perfume:
It smelled like a flower garden,and the aroma lasted all day, into the next. I still have some. I found this picture on the internet:
MAC eye crayon: KLOREEN.
I'm not sure I can find a picture of this. When they went on the market,I bought 5 of them. I still own two. I love the bright green, yet blue color. I will take one, and add it to this blog, later.
Clean Cotton, by Avon.
Not truly a perfume, yet it's a body spray. Bath and Body Works tried to make one similar, but it smells sweeter. The smell, literally, was fresh cotton, as in starched, fresh, pressed cotton. Think that'd not smell good? Think again.
Hamilton Beach Iron Conditioner:
I bought this one time, at Wal-Mart,and never saw it again. It's liquid, similar to the Best Press by Mary Ellen. It smelled wonderful, and it caused the iron to glide across the clothing. I now use Best Press, and I love it, but will always remember the first one by Hamilton Beach.
Real, over the counter Actifed:
I'm not a meth addict, nor do I even intend to ever touch the stuff. But my nose runs and runs and runs, and Actifed original was cheap. It worked. I could take one a day,and my nose wouldn't run again, until night time, when I took one more. My blood pressure wasn't effected, and I wasn't stroke material. Now, the remix doesn't work like the first one, my nose runs when it wants too, and I have have to take 2 to do what the original Actifed did. I think they remade it, knowing that this would not be nearly as effective, and knowing we would have to take 2, instead of one, to get the effect. Therefore, making us spend more money.
Happy Daisy by Bath and Body Works:
It is a fresh, meadow smell, and seems to be a bit like Sun Flowers by Elizabeth ARden. Bath and Bodyworks discontinued it.
When I think of more,I'll add them.

All Those Mac Daddies
Sorry,I'm not rapping, I'd not make a good rapper. I'm talking about Sallie, Freddie, and Fannie Mac. Sallie bugs the hell out of me, She's a big B. I'm still fighting with her about some crap she says I owe, I say I don't. On to better things: I don't owe Freddie or Fannie anything, and don't intend to. I toss mail from Sallie, cause she pisses me off. I used to think that McCain or maybe George Bush, or even Chanie named them. Freddie Mac? Gawd, it's like a farmer in the middle of Missouri. Freddie Mac's Eggs, $2.79 a dozen. I got tired of hearing aobut Freddie Mac, and looked him up on the iternet. (I'm not talking about the wonderful singer Freddy Mack, and I don't think it's funny that the CEO of Freddie Mac killed himself last night.)
I've just had my patience rattled for the last damn time about Freddie, and Fannie Mae, and even Sallie. How can anyone take those people seriously with government given names like those?
That is the real name of Freddie Mac, so why not use it? Why not say Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation?
As for Fannie Mae: She's a goat:
I've not figured out what Sallie is, but when I find a mule named Sallie Mae, I'll put the picture here.

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) (NYSE: FRE), known as Freddie Mac, is a government sponsored enterprise (GSE) of the United States federal government.
That is the real name of Freddie Mac, so why not use it? Why not say Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation?

Happy 420
Today is offcially 420! And we know what that means. Well most of us...I am in a hotel room,and I am laughing at the G4 channel. HOpefully,I'm not the only one who thinks this stuff is funny. I laugh very hard at it. I am a Doug Benson fan. I can't wait to watch Super HIgh Me. It's so perfect, too. On the G4 network. I think it's hilarious.
Today is Canabis culture day!Doesn't that make you just want to twirl? Doesn't it make you want to turn on the Grateful Dead,and listen to Sugar Magnolia, and twirl?
Well, if we are in Missouri, then we are in the state. (I love Missouri, but some of the laws are silly)Here's how they celebrate this day in other countries:
New Zealand:
In Dunedin, New Zealand, students at the University of Otago and other cannabis law reform activists meet under a walnut tree on the Otago University Union Lawn on Wednesdays and Fridays at 4:20pm to openly smoke cannabis in public in what they consider an act of protest. In 2008 a member of the Dunedin group was arrested and others were issued trespass notices after attempting to openly smoke cannabis at one of the regular 4:20pm protest meetings.
In Holland:
4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland.
Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea.
In London:
This is 420 day.
I think this is kind of cool. One of these days, maybe I'll travel to Cali. I'll complain of having a headache, which I really get, and I'll get some legal greenery. For now, Kansas City is completely behind the times. I'm sorry about that.
Funny Ads
Sometimes funny news stories, or ads, catch my eye:
They didn't say it was a burrito supreme, or chicken or beef. Did it come with Spanish Rice, or guacamole? Did they eat it after they found it?

The Allure of Shopping Bags
While making a make-up purchase at the MAC counter yesterday, I thought about the fact that most everyone in the mall is carrying a shopping bag, labeled with some type of store or product. Shopping bags say alot about a person.
For example, when I buy eye shadow from MAC, she asks if I want a bag for it. I do, but not cause I can't put it into my purse, but I want the bag, cause a certain reputation goes along with that bag.
When you're in Times Square, and you buy a CD from Virgin Records, and then go across the avenue, and down a bit, to the Element New York Store, you are carrying the Virgin Record bag. Soon, you will be carrying an Element New York bag, as well. What does that say about you? (That you have good taste, but among other things), the bags label you at that very moment. Same with other stores. You go into Nordstrom's at any mall, and they give you a very finely tuned bag, that clearly labels you've shopped at Nordstrom's. Nordstrom's equals quality. Doesn't matter that there are Spanx inside the bag, or even a low end pair of underwear and socks. If you carry the Nordstrom's bag over to the Bandolino Store, and you buy something at Bandolinos, and you carry both bags, you are labeled by those bags.
What's cool, is to watch people, but also watch their bags. If they've been in the Dylan's Candy store, then go into Bloomingdales, it is clear. Added to that, if they have a Sunglass Hut bag, then they probably like high end sunglasses (my Ray-Bens fit this category). If they are carrying a Bloomingdale's bag, then they probably like the quality, and don't mine the price tag of Bloomingdales.
On Times Square, if they are carrying a Hershey's Bag, and also a Swatch Watch Bag, then they are suddenly labeled. Add to that the yellow M and M store bag, they come across as someone fun. Even if it's a bag of M and M's and a watch cleaner.
Bags make people proud. Bags are fun. Some bags are keepsakes. My Dylan's Candy bag is. Some bags are keepsakes to some, but others blow them off. I have no reason to keep my MAC bag, from the Country Club Plaza in Kansas city. I don't care. I buy stuff from MAC all the time, it's not any more expensive than other make up. But, if someone from Indianapolis visited the Country Club Plaza, and they have not been into the MAC store, they will like the MAC Bag. See what I mean?
Shifts in Courtesy
Being a frequent shopper, and analyzing people in general, I am beginning to see a shift in courtesy.I believe this is from the pressure applied to employees, in failing stores.
For example, the wrong Swatch Watch, and I had to practically pry the customer service rep to do anything, when it was their fault, in the first place. through a seller, but the seller did not sell through his own shop, but through Amazon. It was a careless mistake, one that should not had occurred.
And today, somehow, after shopping at my beloved Stienmart (On 144th Metcalf, in Overland Park), and buying over 150.00 worth of clothes, I got home, and noticed a security button still attached. Well,I live over 50 Miles from it, and I called them. They were cold as hell to me. They were rude, infact.
I drove the 50 miles back to the store, to return it, by then I didn't want it at all. They were rude. and I didn't say anything, except I wanted to return it, cause I live 50 miles away,and they left the security button on the blouse. I don't want it. They coldly gave me my refund.I said, "Is that it? You're not going to give me a courtesy coupon, or anything, after I drove over 50 miles,and 45 minutes to get the security button off this blouse?" She said, "We are very sorry, mam, we are doing what we can." And then she repeated it. Well, I stopped talking and stared at her.
Then I said, "That's it? I will never come to this store again. " And I rose my voice enough, and said, to the people behind me, "You better check your clothing before you leave this store. They don't remove their security buttons. They make you return the item, and don't give you a courtesy coupon, not here." And people checked their clothes as I walked out the door. Within their earshot, but out of site, I heard the male manager ask the female clerk, "What was that about?" Then he asked her, "You didn't give her a courtesy coupon for 25% off?" And I got home 45 minutes later, and emailed the company. Tomorrow,I will call corporate. I love that store, or used to. I am appalled at them now.
I think employees are so short staffed, and so over worked that they have forgotten courtesy. They have become careless due to pressure to produce more. If this kind of business practices continue, then more stores will continue to fail. I think that will be an eye opener. I belive part of the failures right now are poor business practices, and the Republicans running this country got away with it. Conservative, conservative, conservative, and it's killing us now.

Swatch
I wrote about Swatch watch on my other blog yesterday,but that blog is, admittedly, boring, compared to this one.
This is my new Swatch Watch. After my last few experiences with other brands,I am a firm believer in these.
1. The battery is simple to change
2. You change the battery,and it does not loose it's waterproof seal.
3. The straps are easily replaced, cheaply, usually, from the website, without guessing.
4. Swatch Watches are friggin' cool.
5. They last for years.
6. They are funner than a Rolox.
7. It is hard to choose just one.
Sweeping
I watched Wife Swap on Friday, and the family 's hobby was Sweeping. They were pretty good at it. That might be a fun hobby to have. There are plenty of sweepstakes to enter both on line,and at atores or mail.
The 3 P's of sweeping are: Patience, Perseverance, and a Positive Attitude.
Patience takes a while. You and I both know that it is often 3-8 weeks, or osmetimes months, before you learn if you win, or if you don't.
After watching Wife Swap,I have decided to enter one sweepstake a day, or more,and see how I do, as an experiment. Today, being Easter is as good a day as any to start.
Persverence is certainly a virtue needed to do sweeping. My startegy is to enter one each day, as often as I can. Like, if Dr. Pepper wins one out of 6 cans,I'm buying a twelve pack, etc....
Keep the positive attitude. Even if you loose, you will have fun.

Blood Makes Poor Martyr-A Female's Look at Moses and Joshua
I am watching the Ten Commandments. I've seen it thousands of times. I love the movie. This is why, besides the fact that it's an epic.
For one, I always thought that Joshua was hot. The guy is to die for. He's tan, he has a heart of gold, and OMG, is he ever hot. Perfect body, perfect spirit.
You can see it in Joshua's eyes. If you are female, he wants you so bad. don't believe me? Watch the movie, or rent it.
For two, I just figured out what tipped off the Egyptians and pissed them off. When, at the beginning of the movie,and the old woman gets caught under the stone,and Moses makes them stop the stone.
For three, another thing that sort of gave away his identity, was when he gave the grain to the slaves. That completely pissed off the Egyptians. Then, Moses made the stone rise, and then, he gave the slaves one day in seven to rest. All of these reasons gave the Egyptians something to blame Moses for.
If all of these things hadn't been figured out early on, Moses wouldn't had had the
problems he had. But, Moses was never subtle, he was loud, which is what the Egyptains's needed. In a way, Moses had his own cross to bear, but not in the terms of how it was done with Jesus. Jesus was another biblical guy, and certainly had his problems as well. Jesus was a cool guy, and highly intelligent, but Moses was before him, and a bit better looking, though, I always did like Jesus's long hair, but I didn't like his beard. Moses didn't have a beard until he saw the Burning Bush. I guess if I saw and talked to a burning bush, I'd look abit different too. Moses had a hard body, too, but Joshua's was tan.
Then, in the end, Moses talks to spirits, and is shown the Ten commandments, the tablets of which he throws on the slaves, who have now became hedonists.
Moses was tough, and kind of sexy too. Take your pick. Watch the movie.
(I played a World of Warcraft during the movie, and I was very tired from moving cement blocks earlier in the day. All this time I thought that Moses in the Ten Commandments movie was condemned by the Romans. Don't ask why. Thank you to everyone who cleared me on the subject.)

Vibrators and 10 year olds-(picture below, close your eyes if you don't like vibrators)
Wow, there's alot of stuff to discuss today: Oprah and vibrators, Britaney and Weed, or Nancy Pelosi and Twitter.
Let's focus on Oprah yesterday. I watch nearly every episode of Oprah. I enjoyed Oprah yesterday. The ten year old girl was an extremely intelligent young lady, and the questions she asked were very mature. She was poised, and seemed more mature,than the cautiousness of her mom. I enjoyed it. I liked how it was explained, and laughed cause hardly none of us wear white pants. I wondered how her mom engaged in shopping at Wal-mart for tampons. This is 2009, and it's not secret. Guess what???? Women use tampons and pads,and so do daughters, and by the time daughters are ten,then must know about that. We buy them. How the hell did her mother buy tampons, and be that mysterious about the big SEX subject? Geez!
But, the next series, after a few minutes worth of commercials, had me floored! First of all, the thought of vibrators are funny. Go into Spencer's, and go to the back of the store. I can't think people actually use them, most of them are the size of baseball bats, or the smaller size of a rat's tail. I am not a prissy girl, no way, but when it comes to telling ten your old girls, as the guest suggested, about vibrators, I was like, "oh my god, no way." I wouldn't do it, I'm not going to do that,but being that I'm a nurse, my son knew all his correct body parts by the time he was 5. Talking about vibrators to a child is going overboard. I have seen internet porn,we all have. I could list websites, I'm not doing it. It's gross,I'm female. But is it gross? Take a look at Dr. Laura's vibrator. I'd not have it in my house, but it looks interesting.

And if they hadn't found him? Unspeakable.
Money problems. OMFG, we all have money problems. Don't shoot anyone cause you loose your job, don't breathe lethal gas, don't strangle someone, and don't drive your car off of a cliff. Geez, it'll pass.
Fresno Man Attempts Suicide,Tries Gassing 8 Year–Old Daughter
Just after noon Wednesday Fresno Police got a call from a teenager who told them her dad locked himself in the house with her eight-year-old sister, and he cut a pipe, filling the house with gas.
When police got there they say he wouldn't come out.
"Officers were able to smell gas and confirm what was going on. Obviously this could have been a very very bad call in which this place could have blown up," Lieutenant Herman Silva said.
Silva says police tried to reach the man by phone, dialing his number over and over again.
He finally picked up.
"Officers were able to convince him that no matter what he was going through it didn't merit him taking his life and the life of his child," he said.
The man gave up and came out of the house.
Rescuers say they couldn't get too close to the house because of the clouds of gas that came billowing out.
Silva says the man was arrested, and will be charged with child endangerment.
And if they hadn't found him? Unspeakable.
Newell is a neighbor of the man police say may have been driven to suicide because of money problems
Money problems. OMFG, we all have money problems. Don't shoot anyone cause you loose your job, don't breathe lethal gas, don't strangle someone, and don't drive your car off of a cliff. Geez, it'll pass.
Label cloud
I think the label cloud is eye catching,and it's fun to work with.I actully like them. I had to install it twice,and do get the occassional error message, but the website works fine. With I E 8 (satan), you just click on the broken website button,and it works fine. With I E 7, no problem. I have the label cloud widget on my today.com blog.
Here's where I got it from. If you install the Labels gadget, it makes this installation alot easier. Just do what the instructions say.

IE 8, My Nightmare
Be very afraid, be very very afraid. I was having troubles loading websites yesterday, so I finally broke down an installed IE 8, not only on my desktop, but on my lap top as well. I take my blogging templates from a well designed template website: www.deluxetemplates.net. I have never had troubles with them ever. I was tired of the desk template I was using.
I began to select one i liked, and tried to open it.I got the dreaded Xml cannot be open message, not once, but about 10 times. I worked for 3 hours on it,and got the same message, over and over and over. I continued to try.I loaded up Google chrome (now my default browser). Still could open xml files. Tried other websites with xml files, nothing. Tried going backwards, and the damn thing won't let me go to I E 7. So,I changed my default to Google chrome, selected a boring Blogger.com template, and now I'm going to try this on my netbook, which runs IE 7.
After today, I doubt if I ever use internet explorer again in my life. I hate it. In fact, I wish it would go away. I might delete from my desktop. It is Satan.

Doesn't Work to Gang Up On Us:
I think all republicans are ganging up on president obama,but i doubt it slows him down. I read in a blog comment on www.fivethirtyeight.com,that when Obama wants something, Obama does it.
I found this on MSNBC's website:
I found this on MSNBC's website:
*** Not so popular right now: During the first 11 weeks of the Obama presidency, congressional Republicans have achieved this feat: They have maintained (for the most part) a unified opposition to Obama and the Democratic agenda. All Republicans, save for three moderate GOP senators, voted against Obama’s stimulus. And every single Republican voted against the Democratic budget. But looking at recent polls, we’ve got to ask: Where has this gotten the GOP so far? The recent New York Times/CBS poll showed the Republican Party’s favorability rating at an all-time low, matching the result from last month’s NBC/WSJ poll. One GOP strategist tells First Read that Republicans are hoping that short-term pain leads to long-term gain. “My sense is we are making progress towards reclaiming mantle of fiscal responsibility, which is first step towards rebuilding,” the strategist said. “Obama is hugely popular, which makes for a tough environment. But that will/must fade with time, and we'll get our second look from public.”
Republicans want a larger tax increase? Only in Arizona!
Democrats made a bail out plan to help Arizona. The Republicans want MORE! They want the democrats to request more tax increases.
Here's the quote from the Tuscon paper:
This goes on:
The Democrats called a 1-cent hike (which Brewer herself has not specifically called for) an "18 percent increase to the state sales tax." Then Horowitz dropped in (kind of like a cage fight). David Horowitz's new book, "One-Party Classroom: How Radical Professors at America's Top Colleges Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy," gives you little bit of a clue into what he's all about.
Round Three:
Here's the quote from the Tuscon paper:
See, after legislative Democrats trotted out a plan to correct Arizona's deficit early last week, GOP Chairman Randy Pullen criticized the Dems' $700 million in tax increases as "recklessly shifting responsibility for future budget deficits down the road."
The press release criticizing the Democrats never mentions the billion-dollar increase, but after Brewer's March speech calling for the boost, Pullen said he supported that plan.
"You get to a point where there's nothing left to cut unless you want to start shutting down schools every other day or something," he said at the time. And the party has released a poll showing support for a 1-cent sales-tax hike to collect $1 billion.

Round Three:
It was only three months ago when state Sen. Al Melvin from Northside District 26 was sworn into office, but he already has a 2010 challenger.
Democrat Cheryl Cage announced last week that she will challenge Melvin, a Republican.
Again.
Cage, a resident of Dove Mountain, lost a bid against Melvin in November by less than 2,000 votes out of the nearly 100,000 cast in District 26.
Melvin's boost came from Pinal County — he lives in SaddleBrooke — but he also edged out Cage in Pima County by about 800 votes.
Interestingly, Cage visited the Capitol in February as part of a group protesting education cuts supported by Melvin. On that day, Melvin introduced everyone in the group by name on the floor of the state Senate — including his rival.
Political?
I think I want to go political on this blog for a while. That'd keep it more interesting.
I'm a strong democrat. I find humor or irony in someof things I probalby shouldn't. Like, when North Korea launched that missle,er, rocket. Then I read where Kim Jong-Il Sobbed During Rocket Launch. It's on Fox News website. I didn't have to read any more. That told me alot.
But, curiousity lead me to read the head line:
Now, come on...he knew what the hell was going on! He knew, and yet, he let it happen.
The thing is,the guy had a stroke in August, and he's still leading his country????He's a THREAT? The guy had a friggin' stroke! It might have effected his brain in some way. I love the last line:
How profound is that?

North Korea's state-run media reported Tuesday that Kim Jong-Il shed tears of regret during the country's controversial rocket launch because he could not use the launch funds to provide aid to his people, the AFP reported.
Now, come on...he knew what the hell was going on! He knew, and yet, he let it happen.

What the TV didn't show was just as notable: footage of the "Dear Leader" during the 3 1/2 months after he is believed to have suffered a stroke that sparked fears of a succession crisis in the poor, nuclear-armed nation.
How profound is that?
Traffic for Today.com
Ugh,I need blog traffic. So, we can't use Entrecard on our today.com blog? The one that makes us money (I don't earn but a few dollars a month on my blog, but some earn in the Hundreds, and I want to know how they do it.)But I don't have money to spend on web trafficking, so I use Twitter, Myspace, and anything else I can think of.
I do hundreds of Google searches daily for free blog traffic. I looked at Entrecard, but it seems to be on the dreaded error message, when I try to make an account. So, since we can't use this and that to help us with our traffic on today.com blog, why not incorporate them into a blogger blog,and draw people to the today.com blog?
Adsense: Do we not click on each other's Adsense when we read other blogs? I guess not. I made .50 cents last month, for the entire month.
I want a blog like Political Inaction, or something to the nature of www.bottomlinecom.com. How can I do that? I have the skills to write, I have the knowledge..but the traffic sucks ya all. I know, maybe I could do give-aways? Give away what? I have no idea.
My ideas do not dwindle. I continue to think and come up with more ideas that might work to get this blog out to people,and then draw them into my today.com blog. I'm typing this, cause there's ideas coming from me,and they might help you.
Today.com has alot of things you can't do. But, you can do them here. Link a blogger blog, to a today.com blog, and you'll not own the internet, but both might be read.
Use the free tools on SEOtools.com. I am experimenting with the free tools today, with the words, link, blog, traffic, Twitter, Myspace. If I link my today.com blog with this one, and continue to use tools, and insert an entrecard link to it, that might work.
To utilize SEO's in a blog, you need to learn an almost new way of writing, where the key words are used. You can learn the technique by setting up an account on textbroker.com,and trying to write some of the ordered assignments, using keywords. Then you'll understand the concept of utilizing SEO's tools, into your blog.
