Happy Father's Day

I'm experimenting with my wordpad. This, I think, is much better. I know, why haven't I thought of that already:(. I'm killing time before my conference training room or whatever you call it.

Back to work tomorrow after 10 days off. Yuck! I didn't get to see my grandson this time. Stayed home and did some things around here. Got more things ready for the yard sale and washed the house. Thought the appraisor was coming Friday but he didn't
show up. Its alright though, I think I changed my mind anyway. I was going to try to get a home equity loan but my son seems to think I can get a loan for a new home. He's coming next week to take me look around. He also said he would co sign if I needed him to. I should be excited about a new home even if its just a mobile home but there's so much red tape and getting this one torn down and where I want it (the new one), there's trees I want cut down. Let me rephrase that..they need cutting down.

Its almost time. Everyone have a great week. Tere

Just checking my blog

I'm making my rounds while I take a break. Going through stuff again to add to the yard sale. I need to contact my friends daughter. she's been wanting to have one so I'll see if she wants to have one here with me.
My son called yesterday and told me they got a new Tahoe. I knew they were thinking about it and when they start thinking, they usually do. Sounded like a pretty good deal. They were able to finance what he stilled owed on his truck, traded in her car and financed the Tahoe with the balance of the truck and paying over $100.00 a month less on car notes.
I still haven't got my windshield fixed from the hail storm. The roofers, glass companies, and body shops around here are doing good right now. That was a bad night..I never heard hail so loud and hard in my life. My roof is probably damaged, too. Its not leaking but since I'm thinking about tearing down the house anyway, there's no point checking it.
I'm gone, if anyone pops up, have a great day. Tere

Corey will be missed here, too

I'm sure a lot of you have already heard the news..This is an email I got from Mike today. Its really sad. I read Corey's newsletters and he made you feel like you knew him. I had hoped to afford one of his courses one day but didn't get around to it. That really doesn't matter anyway, it sad for someone so young to die and he was a newly wed, too. I wonder if he knew how many will miss him. If anyone wants to read the story, I copied the email with the news address on it. ( btw, I'm not advertising anything and am not affiated with Mike. I read Mike's newsletters, too, and also feel like I know him. He's right, maybe we all need to call our loved ones and give our marketing and internet work a rest today.) I think I'll call my son.) Have a good week-end. Tere

Here's the email:



Today is a very sad day in the Internet Marketing
world and to many others that knew Cory.

Taking nothing for granted, I will not assume you
knew who he was. But I am sure 90% of you do.

Cory Rudl was one of the top internet marketers
and teachers. He earned over $7 Million Dollars
per year and offered all of his secrets to every-
one in affordable courses for $197-$297

I was one of his customers and I had learned a lot
from him.

Today, I wake up, grab my laptop in bed, and I get
an email. "Shocking News - Did you see this?"

=======================================================
Corey Rudl Died
=======================================================

I am as surprised as you are. I heard it first from
Mike Merz (IM4Newbies.com) when he broadcast an email
to his subscribers about it.

Corey Rudl of the famous MarketingTips.com and
SecretsToTheirSuccess.com was killed when the car the
he was riding as a passanger crashed at California
Speedway in Fontana. The driver also died an hour later
while on the way to the hospital.

Here are some links to the news.

Frankly, I don't know what to think of this. Still
trying to absorb the whole thing.

=======================================================
End of notice
=======================================================

So the first thing I did was get on messenger with my
friend Michael Rasmussen to confirm and it was true.

Then I went to the warrior forum and there were 9
threads and hundreds of replies.

My heart sunk.

I will not claim to have known Cory, to have met him,
or to have spoken to him.

All we had was a replies in 1 thread about ClickBank
a few months ago in a forum. I am sure he never heard
of me.

But I will say that I admired Cory and my goal was to
learn everything I could about him. I started to model
him from a course I purchased from him. I was going to
model is affiliate programs.

I planned on studying him for years to come. It was
weird, because I had heard of him for a long time, but
my ego would not let me buy from him.

Then when I did, I put in his models and strategies and
I saw instant results.

Cory started I think in 1997 and pioneered ebooks and
sequential email and affiliate programs. He was a step
ahead and one you would want to learn from.

You are blessed to have been a customer of his as their
will not be many more chances to learn from him.

*** Why I titled this 'Perspective' ****

Well, as you may know, since Tuesday my site
InstantBuzz.com has been down and I have been working
24/7 to get it back up.

So many good members have been so supportive. We should
be back up later today or tomorrow.

If you want that story go here

But I woke up in a bad mood over this fiasco, and all
woe is me.

Then I got slapped in the face with a reality check
when I heard a real tragedy today.

It really put things in perspective for me. I am signing
off the PC today after I try to get some IB things done.

I encourage all of you to do the same and go spend time
with your families today.

Call your:
Mom
Dad
Sister/Brother
Kids

and tell them you love them.

Go enjoy the day away from the PC -

God Bless Cory Rudl and may he rest in peace with
the Lord.

My hearts and prayers go out to his friends and family
and this time.

You will be missed Cory :-(

Info for TX lady drivers

This is true. It's in the lower left side of your Texas Driver's License.
This was news to me and trust me, I got my license out and looked. It's
really there. Something all Texans should know, especially since this has
received
very little publicity.

Your Texas driver's license has a phone number on the back, just above the
bar code on the lower left side: 1-800-525-5555. (It's VERY SMALL PRINT but
it
IS there.) This number can be called for emergency assistance on the
highway or wherever you might have trouble while in your car. A service
truck will be sent to you. This service is state operated, paid for with
your tax dollars. If you are ever stranded, just call the number on your
driver's license...help is on the way.
A state trooper will be sent to make sure all is well. This one is worth
passing on to all the women you know!

Do you know all my years of driving I never saw that? I was thinking maybe I'm not the only one. I wonder if any other states do that. Hope so.

Have a great week-end.

Happy Mother's Day

We're waiting on my brother to get here so I thought I'd post a little note. We're going to eat chinese today. There's a new restaurant in town we're going to try.
I've been busy working on my web site and trying to get my journal going. Plus daily chores and work. I had a few more hits on my web site. Now, if I could get buyers would be good.
Yesterday I was cleaning the living room and realized the horse races were on. I like to watch them but haven't lately. Just for kicks, me and Mama pick who we think will win. Well, its too damn bad I didn't really bet because mine won. Maybe I should have bought a lottery ticket. Could have been my lucky day..lol..too late now.
When I get back I'm going to work on my journal. I finally got it after three tries but having problems editing. That's normal for me though. I like learning things but usually have problems with computer stuff til I get the hang of it. I still haven't learned all the programs on my web site.
Time to go. bbl

Still working on it

I managed to put on a couple of links but need to fix 3 of them. Some are affiliate links I mentioned earlier. I got in the 1.67 a day, the Free Store and Juvio through Referralware. I like a lot of the opportunities and different products they have to offer. Finding time to get to all of them isn't easy but I'm working on a plan and trying to save a little for ads. Although you can join some of them for free, the rest isn't free but it does give you a little time to learn and decide whether to stay in or not.
I've also joined some more "surf for traffic" sites Fran told me about and then they tell me about more. Haven't really got the hang of that, yet, but I'm working on it.
I'm going recheck my links and then go surfing. :-)

Working on links

I'm still trying to get my blog going again; having problems with the links. Got my web site to show up but not my Jan and other places. Next I want to put on Fran's link. I guess you can call me a Jan and Fran Fan. Okay, that's not funny, it just popped in my head and should have stayed there..lol..
I'm working on a blog page to tell- who ever is interested - about Referralware.
Until then, click the link and see for yourself. Its an affiliate program that I joined about a month ago. There's so many other opportunities that comes with it, its hard to find time for each one but they take care of a lot of it when and you upgrade.
Now, I'm going to see if these links work. If they don't, try this: http://www.referralware.com/home.jsp/1357405249. bbl

Nope, blog says broken link. I just realized I omited a number, so let's go back to square 1. :-)

Taking a break

I decided to be lazy the rest of the day. Been packing and cleaning house. Going out of town tomorrow for about 3 days. I'm on vacation and it didn't come too soon. Had to work a lot of hours last week.
I got a little behind on my home work. I wanted to have my next post ready for my blog by now and put some links on but I'll do it when I get back. My brain needs a break. Between my web site, auctions and other things, sometimes I just need to get away from it all.
Bye4now

Second blog

They say if at first you don't succeed, try again. Here I am trying it again. I deleted my first blog because I realized posting daily stuff and activities gets very few visitors. Very few comments anyway. There may have been visitors I didn't know about.

I'm posting today to get my blog going again. I'm going to use it to post business opportunities, opinions, info, etc. I hope for comments, too. I read a lot of newsletters and am in some affiliate programs. I also sell things on auctions and have a gift website I've been working on.

I'll be working on my second post to my second blog and hopefully have it posted soon. There may be things you already heard about but every now and then I run across sites I wasn't aware of so I may have something you haven't seen yet. I'm hoping to share info, ideas, etc. with other bloggers.

Sometimes I don't know when to hush:-) If you stop by, leave me a comment..just say hi or maybe tell me a little about you. I'd like to visit your blog, too. Now I'm really leaving.

Have a great day. Tere
