Video Professor Annoyance

It is a wonder that this company is still in business. Art and I were watching TV and this commercial came on. It is the one where they say you can get the video professor for free. The catch is it is not free you pay shipping and handling charges. In the commercial even in the fine print say they take visa, mastercard etc. I don't know why they have not been hauled into court for misrepresentation and spamming. I don't know what irritates me the most the fact that they say it is free or the fact that they still show the outdated commercial.

Speaking of Spam I got my first gmail spam today. It was an offer for herbal cigarettes. I have had gmail for 4 months with no spam. So far it is only one but you know how that multiplies. Funny thing is I do not use my gmail address for anything. I do not sign up for things with my gmail address specifically for that reason so I do not get spam.

Another company has entered the paid to blog community it is called Link From Blog. I have always liked the idea of paid blogging. Link from blog is similar to other paid blogging companies in that you bid for jobs and the advertisers will look at the bids and determine who they want to write the reviews.

Blog Anniversary Milestone

   It is hard to believe that I have had this blog for the last 7 years.   I never thought that I would continue to do it for this long.    I have taken breaks here and there but I always come back and post something.   Sometimes it is a few weeks or months.   I have gone as long as a year but I always come back.   Looking through my archives I found how short my posts were and how few and far between they are in some spots as well.  When my husband and I set up our blogs all those years ago not many people knew what blogs were.   Now everyone has one.   Okay, well maybe not everyone my parents do not have one nor do I see either of them getting one anytime soon.  It is amazing to see what people blog about.   I read a long list of blogs religiously but have never been able to blog what I would call consistently.   As much as I enjoy it it seems a lot of people get tired of...

Technology

Well where do I begin with this one.   It seems like technology has not been my friend this week.  I wanted to make some updates to my handmade jewelry store , but the internet had other things in mind for me.  Yesterday when our internet connection seemed to be working in my favor I set out to do the updates that I mentioned.   Well that did not happen.  The network storage device that we have for backup was not accessible all day long.  Last night after Art woke up he finally got the device working again.   Needless to say we just backed up the device with a portable usb hard drive.  I didn�t know everything had to be so redundant.  So this morning was spent making updates to my site and getting blog going for my handmade jewelry store.  Everything store related will be posted here.    I will occasionally mention it on this one but any changes I make or products I add will be posted on my jewelry blog.
