Turn Out The Lights .. The Party's Over :(

Is it save to come out yet?

Hope you all had a good Christmas yesterday. Thanks to everyone who went out of their way to send me an e-card or personal greeting via email. Very much appreciated!

My cat must have been watching me post this morning.
Man, what a copy cat!










Can you see me now??











As it turns out, Lou Dog is coming to stay with me this afternoon and evening. So if I don't come back, then you know why.

*******

It just occurred to me that TODAY is 10DollarsWonder Three Year Anniversary. Too bad we couldn't keep the pace up on that one. Oh well. It was good while it lasted.

*******

Yep, PAC is over. About frickin time.
Well I won some, I lost some, and some I broke even in. Honestly, am glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Hi Everyone,

We hope you had a truly lovely Christmas with your families.

Regretfully Christmas was not good for business with our Programs. Almost all the members who joined with us again were like-minded in their strategy, get in and get out. so they were no redeposits and because the bulk of the big deposits were on day one, the programs went into a Cashflow problem immediately. The games were a complete non-starter.

We honestly thought there was enough goodwill amongst you to make this work but obviously we were wrong. So we will wind down the Programs. Everyone will be refunded their principals. However because most of the big deposits have been paid 138% - we can only pay about 70% to the rest of you.We will do this on Monday.

To those of you who still trusted us amid all the negativity please accept our humble apologies, we failed again.

This was our last attempt at setting things right and we now have to put matters at rest. There will be no more programs from us and no more talk of refunds. We'll stress now as we have done before that, we ran the programs in a fair, honest ethical way. The PPs , if they would, would testify to that . Almost as many of you made money with our Programs as those who lost. We have given our all to the Programs and regret that it has come to this but we truly hope we left some of our members if not all with something. Me2E will come through in the following months. WNP and TVIE are both great, working programs. Put in some effort and you will reap the rewards.

We know there are many of you who are realistic about how all this works and you are more welcome to keep in touch with us.

May 2010 be YOUR year, each and everyone of you. May you all succeed in realising all your goals, Financial and otherwise.

EL and the PAC Team.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Happy Christmas Eve Day

She's makin a list, and checkin it twice, LOL

Going over some things in my head today just to be sure I didn't forget anything and I think I'm OK. Need to bake some cookies later and that's about it. Whew!

*******

Logged into both PacForAll and PacRevenueShare today. Saw that I completed my 13 days, requested a withdrawal, and received it within minutes.
So does that mean I'll be playing again?
Well I dunno. I seem to have lost interest and trust in EL and her programs. And there sure isn't much support in the forums either. So I'm taking a break for now.

*******

Margaret at MyMarketShares forgot to push the button for us to receive last weeks credit. So next week, we'll be credited for two weeks of earnings. Umm ok

*******

NewSurfAge weekly earnings were sporadic as far as some people seeing them and others having them rolled over automatically. Still no word from Gilbert on that.

*******

Rollover-Ads is paying here and there and this person and that person. But doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason in the order that he's doing it in. Weird. And I'm still a ways away from breaking even. (sign)

*******

The HYIFund is doing well, and for the free $2.50, it's hard to resist. I'm not getting too involved with it yet (money wise). Let's see how the new year goes first.

*******

I had one squirrel come for peanuts this morning. Could barely see him in all that snow! They sure are cute jumping through it though. Hippity Hop Hop :))



*******

Let It Snow Dino

*******

Can't think of anything exciting to say today.
No planes to catch or fires to put out.
It IS snowing here .. again, and cold cold.
Deciding whether to shovel or use the snow blower.

I might be back if something comes up.
Have a nice day :)

Some things are just messed up in my opinion.

The PAC girls (EL and Karen-support) are launching yet another new game today!
Where is it going to be?
Ummm, in the same PacForAll and PacRevenueShare sites?
Heck, they haven't even bothered to fix the old sites to reflect the new relaunch information. Still showing 12x12 in PFA and Plan A and Plan B in PRS. Duh!
No, I'm not donating to their cash grab this time. I've had enough.

*******

I was busy wrapping gifts yesterday.
What I thought would take an hour or two, ended up being an entire afternoon!
Too bad I didn't have this little guy to lend a helping hand, lol


*******

Requested and received my first payout from HYIFunds yesterday. So far, so good :)

*******

Got another Snow Storm and Deep Freeze coming in tonight. Supposed to last all week too. Brrrrr

Might have to unpack that new thermal underwear I bought, eh?

*******

Malfunction at NewSurfAge again this week. Our earnings were rolled into our totems last night without giving us the option to cash them out. Well it was only 2% for the week so it's not a big deal for me and hopefully wasn't for you either.

*******

Just requested a small payment from the "Club". I have one more tax payment to make this year and those dollars will sure help. Should be able to start building on it again come January, I hope. Thanks "G" for running a good honest program.

*******

Good Morning

Thanks to those of you who joined HYIFunds from my link. There are a few days left for their 12 Days of Christmas Contest and I apologize for not showing you the details earlier but just saw them myself yesterday. So here you go:

With Christmas just around the corner, we will soon be starting our annual twelve days of Christmas promotion.

How it works:

Each day, for the twelve days leading up to Christmas, $50 in bonuses will be distributed to HYIFund members. All members with an active investment are eligible. On the First day of the promotion (December 14th), $50 in bonuses will be divided between 12 winners. On the 15th, it will divided by 11 members. This will continue each day, culminating with a single winner of $50 on Christmas Day.

The winner on Christmas day will likely be a member who has been active in our threads on one of the many investment forums. By actively posting, you greatly increase your odds of winning the grand prize.

If you have any questions regarding this promotion, or anything else related to HYIFund, be sure to let us know.

Happy Holidays
HYIFund.com

And as far as posting goes, I've been active in this MMG thread, and no, I haven't won anything yet.
PS, you only need a dollar deposit to be active. Plus they give you $2.50 to get started. Just remember this is December so please be careful with your spend there. Once we're into the new year, I might be a little more comfortable. OK :)

*********

Got another payment from Gold Nugget Invest while I slept. YaY! I actually tried out their exchange service this time and it worked like a charm. Kudos to GNI :)

Over The Hump

--- I'm more than half way through the relaunched PRS and PFA programs, so it's all downhill from here. Will let you know when I get paid.

--- I am NOT joining the new Games that EL (of PAC fame) announced. She's launching one before Christmas and one after. No thank you. I'll keep my money in my pocket for now.

--- EPPXtra numbers haven't moved in 4 days.

--- EPP numbers haven't moved in 2 weeks.

--- Rollover-Ads continues to plug along at 1% daily and is still paying. Not sure how much longer that can go on though. I recently had queries about what the 'real deal' was there, put 2 and 2 together, and came up with the correct answer. I won't share any more than that right now. Just know that if this one comes up short, the Admin is not to blame.

--- On a lighter note, I'm getting a good response to HYIFunds from my advertising and sharing here in my blog. Remember it's free to join and they give you $2.50 to get yourself started. So get registered, set it to compound, and let it ride. You've got nothing to lose.

--- "50 First Dates" movie just came on the TV. Funny how I find it distracting even though I've seen it 50 times and know all the lines by heart.
Here's a song that plays at the end of the movie. Very appropriate tune by "Brother IZ". Enjoy :)

Shopping

Was out shopping today for as long as I could stand it.
Not my favorite thing to do, ya know?
But at least it's FUN when you're shopping for someone else ;)

So I'll be back tomorrow with some updates.

Corrected Yesterdays Post

The HYIFund I told you about yesterday, does take Alert Pay also, so I corrected my post today.

Just remember this IS December so don't go hog wild on any spends. Yes they've been around for a few months in the forums, but we still need to be careful this month, right?

Safest thing to do is Join, Get your $2.50 Free, set your account to compound and see where it goes in the new year.

One more thing, they do pay a referral commission but it's not mentioned anywhere on the site and I'm not sure of the amount. 5% maybe? Ok then :))

-- Heard from a player in MMG that said Yes, ref. comm. is 5% and it is NOT paid on the $2.50 your referral gets just for signing up.

Took The Plunge :)

I'm not in the habit of joining new programs in December, but this one was shown to me by a trusted friend and reader (thanks Greg), so I figured what the heck.
It's called High Yield Investment Funds or HYIFunds.
It is a HYIP that pays a variable interest rate daily to your account.
You do Not have to surf. YaY
The site says they've been around since 2004, but I find that hard to believe. The thread for them in MMG was just opened in July of this year, so you do the math.

Minimum deposit (when you decide to) is only 1$.
Your initial deposit is not returned to you, but your purchase never expires either.
They are doing a promo right now and giving new members $2.50 in their account to get started. So you can join for FREE, get the $2.50, set it to compound, then if they're still around in the new year, add some funds then, lol

They take Alert Pay, Liberty Reserve or HD-Money (whatever that is :)
And I believe you do need to invest at least $1 before you can start withdrawing your profit. Yes, just read that in the "Terms".

Now I know this isn't a great month to join a new program, with all the scams opening and closing this month. And I sure didn't put any big bucks in this one, but figured it was worth a shot and could pay off eventually.
So take a peek if you like. The site itself is just too simple. Nothing complicated in this one at all.
FAQ's are listed in the 'Support' Link.
Everything else is on the front page.
Plus they're having a 12 days of Christmas give-a-away.

Check it out if you're interested and have a great day!

Toast

AdShares4U is Toast

"But also, due to the huge drop down in purchases of ad packs, Adshares for you is unable to continue the revshare part of this program. AS we are all aware, we depend on purchases of ad packs to continue the Revshare part of this program and as there are no more ad pack sales generated we there suspend the revshare part of this program until things improve in future and we start generating sales again.
For now, I want to thank all our members for their support and look forward to when we will continue to revshare part of this program again.
Thanks for now and have a wonderful festive period.
Regards,
Pino"

I hope you all got some profit out of this one. These Revenue Share programs just aren't cuttin it for me, you know?

--- Zooloot Chocolate finally sent my 5 bucks. Too bad I had to remind her twice.

--- Officially Canceled my BlondiesBlog.tv website today.

--- Fed the birds and the squirrels.

--- My EPPXtra numbers haven't moved in 4 days. Still at 467 waiting in Phase 2.

--- NewSurfAge continues to drop. This past week we earned 5%. Could pick up again after Christmas I suppose. Don't forget today is cashout/rollover day.

--- Refund Lists for the original PFA and PRS have been sent to members via email. You do need your ID number to see if you're listed. If you don't know where to find your ID number: after logging in, click on the arrow on the left side of the blue bar that says "Personal Data". It's inbetween 'Active Investments' and 'Your Wallet'. ok?

One Last Reminder .....

that this link http://www.blondiesblog.tv/ will be disabled in about 2 more days. So please remember to bookmark me at: http://blondesmakemoney.blogspot.com/ if you wish to find me in the future. Thanks :)

*******

I started a small project around the house today, and as always one project turned into about five. So I'm here, but not here. haha I'm checking mail and that's about it.
So have a nice day :))

*******

Shoot, who do you trust these days?
See that 100 Chocolate Recipe link here on the right? Well I bought into it months ago for 5$. The price has gone up a little since then but that's not the reason for my post.
On Dec 2nd I asked for my 5$ payout (from RC that I earned). On Saturday the 5th Sylvia wrote to me, said they were behind, and to look for it on Monday or Tues. Now it's Monday of the NEXT WEEK and I still don't have a payment.
Well I wrote to her again but wanted to let you know before I delete the link.

*******

Sunday

Sorry I'm a little late with this.
Will be back to 'work' tomorrow.
Have a good Sunday :)

Man Not Included

Went shopping yesterday and bought myself some Camouflage Thermal Underwear. Now it's warmer here today, but I wanted to be ready for the next deep freeze that comes around. So this is what I bought .. but they wouldn't let me take the man home, lol

--- Bad News on the Mouse. One of the cats got to him overnight before I was able to catch him. Now I need to shampoo my carpet. Need I say more?

--- OK, I finally cycled phase 1 in EPP-Xtra so at least I should get my $25 back. But yesterday at this time, the waiting number for phase 2 was 468. Hmmm

Purchased On	Phase	Earned	To Cycle
2009-12-01 11:19:33	Phase 1 ($25.00)	$100.00	Cycled
2009-12-11 04:42:55	Phase 2 ($75.00)	$0.00	467 positions left

--- EPP is at a stand still. Same numbers for a week now.

--- I see a little bit of interest in the two PAC re-starts, PAC-RS and PacforAll. I personally bought one position in each. It's kinda like watching the soap operas where you've got an idea of what's going to happen next, but hate to turn it off until the final episode. Stay Tuned :)

--- Besides PAC-RS, I'm still surfing in Four Revenue Share programs. Will someone please remind me how boring these are the next time I talk about joining one?
NewSurfAge is still at the top of the chart money wise, but it's starting to lose momentum also. Hopefully they will all survive through this month, but chances of that are not looking so good. Just my opinion, OK?

--- Here's a surprise. I threw some stale potato chips out on the patio this morning for the birds. Well it was 10:00 AM and the Cats were getting antsy to go outside. So I checked the patio to see if the birds had come and gone yet.














And look who showed up? Poor little guy.
My guess is that he's been hiding for the past week in a warmer place without food or water. He sure looked scraggly and skinny today. Wish I had a water dish out, but I didn't know he was coming. Next time.

--- Here's blondies version of "Deck The Halls"

Deck the surfs with loads of scammers
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Where is Maxwell's Silver Hammer?
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Here's my Surf now spend your money
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
While I vacation where it's warm and sunny
Fa la la la la, la la, la laaaaaaa

A Mouse in the House

Been kinda busy this morning trying to the catch the little mouse that keeps running across my window sill, almost like he's teasing me saying "na na na na na .. you can't catch me!"
So I've put the catcher in the corner and waiting to hear it click. Once I get him, he'll just have to go back outside. Better than having the Cats finding him first, right?

*******

For you players (or lookie loo's) keeping track, here's my EPPXtra stats today.

2009-12-01 11:19:33

Phase 1 ($25.00)

$0.00

32 positions left

And for the first EPP ...

2009-11-19 12:05:28

Phase 2 ($30.00)

$0.00

9466 positions left

Same as the last what, 5-6 days now? Borrrrrring!

*******

Oh man .. you're not going to like this.
Everything has been Re-Set to a Big Fat ZERO in my PAC-RS account. Yours too I would imagine. So when they say re-start, they really mean it! Arghhhh!!

Just in, official launch notice from EL:

EL.

Refund is a good word.
Good Luck if you're owed one!

PS, I try to keep an open mind about these programs. I really do. And if you're one of the fortunate folks who played the game early and smart, then you probably cashed out more than you put in. So will you be playing again?
I haven't decided yet myself. I need to sleep on it.
