I Was Almost Conned By This Guy

Posted by Rosie on December 4, 2009

It was a restless night. Just too much on my mind. We left the TV on and I woke up to hear Kevin Trudeau talking on an info-commercial about how you can get FREE money from the government.

Well, I have heard that from Lesko but never got the book. And, I thought, in my foggy thinking, this guy is saying that the other guys book was not the way to go. He is saying that he gives less pages and just the right info.

I continued thinking, “I really could use FREE money”. My mind drifted to bills, goals that needed money, people that needed money, and I drifted back to sleep. Oh, I did not go to sleep until I wrote his number down on my bed stand.

Later that day, I looked and the number and was about to grab my credit card. Then I stopped. I said, “Rosie, you know better, check this guy and his offer out first.”  So, I did a search on google with his name and the word “scam” in the search.

Wow, there was enough there to make me laugh at how I almost gave this guy FREE  money. Some complained about paying large amounts for shipping. So, here is a post I just read so you can decide for yourself before listening to your impulses like I almost did.

Read this article about this famous info-commercial expert.

Now, if only we practice the technique but add truth to it that would be a good thing. What do you think? Is this article wrong? Did you buy the book and benefit from it? Are his critics just player haters? I do want to be fair because I never put money out to get the book.

Boomer Inventory Challenge-Week 2 in My Online Attic

Posted by Rosie on August 1, 2009

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Baby Boomer Inventory Challenge

Leaving one of my hosts

I have decided to leave one of my hosts. I will be making the call to the new location  I have already started the move by pointing the domain names to Sedo where I am selling them. With Sedo, as soon as I get an offer I can place them into auction.

That task should be done before my next report.

Gabcast

Our very first taste of audio came via this site.  This site was in it’s early stages but provided free audio code to paste in your site. Now, I really did not know how to do that at all then. But listen to this greeting.

You can hear it blast at Blogging For Boomers, Ray has such a nice voice.

Radio.Userland is shutting down in December 2009.

I had this site listed in my notes. It provides a blogging platform and hosting solution. They were around a long time and they remind me of baby boomerism. They appeared to be very good and offered a good solution for many folks. I never used it but here is their announcement:

Radio UserLand service closing

UserLand has decided to close the Radio UserLand and Salon Radio services as of December 31, 2009.

You can continue to use your Radio weblog hosted with UserLand until the end of the year.

If you plan on continuing to use Radio to publish your blog, we would recommend that you look for an alternative web host if your weblog is being published to a UserLand server. You can use the FTP option [1] in Radio to publish to your own server.

The closure of Radio will also mean that the UserLand-hosted comments, trackbacks and stats tracking will be unavailable after the shutdown date.

If you have any questions, please send them to customerservice@userland.com

Tech Smith

Tech Smith are the makers of the wonderful video  and screen capture software,  Camtasia and Snagit. Now, I have both and discovered my user to user forumn login information. Ah, time to make a visit.

Words Can Hurt or Heal

I found the publishing ftp information for this one page site I have not visited since I was thin. Shame on me. It needs a complete overhaul. But I do need to do something before my customer service workshop next month. If I have enough, I am passing out the really cool cards with the powerful words. I am committed to helping to eliminate verbal abuse. I will get back on that road again with the re hauling of this site.

I once had a blog up called Words Blog but it was on the wrong host and needs to be restored. Wow, this trip to my online attic is bringing powerful reminders to flames of passion that are growing dim.

Finally…

Some of you remember reading our journal posts about the making of the story book DVD called, Crumbsnatcher Gets A New Name.

Well, we also installed a blog called Crumbsnatcher. But you could really call the blog DYFS for blog neglect. This week, actually yesterday, a post was made on this site. Not only that but Crumbsnatcher is now on Twitter. Those who know the story realize that this bird, who lived in birdtown, went through some stuff and had his name changed by me mother , Ms. Sarah, to Mighty Care Finch. Any way you can follow Mighty Care aka Crumbsnatcher on Twitter.

Have you done any work this week in your online attic?
