Dog O'Lanterns ?



Happy Halloween !




And how cute are these?
Someone's got talent, that's for sure :)



















































































































Thanks to my friend Paul for sending all of the above pics.




Since I posted the pumpkins, Jay, a reader in MI sent me more.
(Can you tell I don't feel like "working" today?)

"Artist Ray Villafane began carving pumpkins on a lark for his art students in a small rural school district in Michigan .
The hobby changed his life as he gained a following online and unlocked his genuine love of sculpting.
Here are images of pumpkin carvings Villafane created over the past five years."







































































Trick or Treat! Now, that's scary!

But seriously, what would Halloween be
without David Letterman? hehe

Nadda

Not much to talk about today.
Spent some time 'surfing' to build up some credits for when our new HYIP opens ... which won't be for a few days now. The Admin still has a lot of work to do on the site and we don't want to rush anything that might cause an error. So Nov 1st could turn into Nov 2nd or 3rd or ??? That's OK. I'd rather do it right the first time.
Have a good night :)

Four Heads are better than One

Had a brainstorming session this morning with the Admin of the New HYIP (that I'll announce next week), and two other folks. It was a great 'chat' and I really do think you guys are going to like this one!
Can't really share anything else right now but do stay tuned for the latest :)
Oh and thanks to all who have asked to be added to my Alert List. Once we launch, I will send an Alert out as fast as I can, ok? Cool.

*******

So I see that poor Randy of Funds-o-Matic has his hands full with the latest Alert Pay restrictions. (members of FOM see his email). The way I'm reading it, I can still make just as much money. I'll just need to invest more often since there is a limit on the amount of "earnings" we can receive now (including referral commissions).
Well, what can you do? You can't fight City Hall (as the old saying goes). So it's OK and I know Randy will do what's best for all of us.

*******

Honestly, I don't know why Carrie at Ad2Million insists on mentioning me every time she updates. I'm happy that she does but I never asked for any recognition. And why she volunteers me for things surprises me too, LOL.
Over 60 days and growing strong:
We are now over 60 days and growing strong with over 1,000 members. All positions are cycled everyday. All withdrawals are paid on time. We now are a true 2% daily cycler.

This is true. Over 60 days now, 2% daily, never missed a beat! Thanks to Carrie and all our 1000+ members!

*******

Just got some GREAT news from Gord re the GBC (easy 40 plan) board positions in Karus! YaY!!!

Hello GBC Members.

Some long awaited good news as the new Board game site was tested today and GBC has been given the green light to resume placing positions on the 40 Board tomorrow morning. It will be a busy day and looking forward to that.

With that members positions will begin to move once again after a nearly two week change over to a new enhanced script that supports the Board Game. Updates to follow as we get back in action and push members around and up through the Boards.

Gord

Just want to remind you guys of something since I am not aware of how many "veteran players" read my blog compared to "newbies" (as they call it), and that is:

Disclaimer: The information was obtained from sources believed to be reliable and we do not guarantee its accuracy. Some programs may be illegal depending on the laws of your Country. Past Performance of any of the programs is not a guarantee of the same or similar future performance. Do not spend what you cannot afford to lose and have fun.

That pretty much sums it up. I've had good luck here over the years but once in a while, you'll see an "Idiot" post from me when an Admin does something stupid which causes us to lose our money. It does happen from time to time even though I do try to be careful in what I share with you.
But there are no guarantees on anything we do here in these types of programs. Just realize that going in, spend only what you can afford to lose, get into profit as quickly as you can, don't get greedy wanting more and more else you could be left holding the bag. Then once you're in profit and playing with house money, you can Whoo Hooooo!
With a little luck, we can help it out. We can make this whole damn thing work out :)

It's Coming Along Nicely

Still helping test the new HYIP program (with a little help from my friends). It's coming along nicely and I can't wait for launch so I can share all the details with you.
I'm hooked on the Plan with the Twist, but we'll see. Still in the tweaking phase so stay tuned as we progress.

*******

Well I figured GrapeVineFunds was toast, then I read this newsletter which pretty much confirmed it:
Not my favorite subject by a long shot but it has to be done. As I figured, both Premier League Shares and GrapeVineFunds, which was a bitter pill to swallow, have run out of funds. The Admin of PLS updated that a recovery might be possible if Alertpay returns alleged stolen funds. I figure both will close the doors and having previous contact with the Admin(s) will not bother to support them again.
Thanks for that info Gord, saved me trouble of searching it out. But damn! I hate crappy news!

*******

Everything else listed here on the side is doing just great.

- Just got paid from GWDC. Pretty fast too!
- Have a payment request into Funds-o-Matic which I'm sure will be received tonight as well.

So I guess that's it for now. Oh and .....

Heads Up Folks and Anniversaries

Been busy today helping to test a new site.
Heads Up on this one as I believe it'll be a very good program!

An old friend of mine (and John's) will soon be opening a new program. It's been in the planning stages since March and John (js-micronuts) actually helped with the plans for this one.

It will be a long term program offering from 1% - 2% for 90 days, and another plan with 2% for 60 days with a "twist" (personally my favorite ... maybe because I'm twisted, ha!). The 60 day plan is a new concept that I don't think I've seen anywhere else. Could make history with that one eh? LOL

- Four plans to choose from, affordable for everyone.
- Compounding will be available through your member area.
- Will use the e-wallet format.
- Accepts AP, STP, LR and PM

So we've got a tentative launch date for November 1st.
Be sure to keep an eye on this blog for updates, ok? And I've been saving my next "Alert" for this one too. You guys know I don't Alert for just anything, right? Only the good stuff.

*******

- Happy Anniversary to Funds-o-Matic. Four months old today and still running like a deer! Thanks Randy for hanging in there with all of us these last four months. Looking forward to 4 more, or maybe even 4 more years? Well in any case, it's been great fun and am looking forward to the future in FOM.

- Happy Anniversary to Ad2Million - Two months old today and still paying that 2% daily with no gaps ever! I did receive payment from A2M today and I must admit, I couldn't be happier with the site and with Carrie the Admin. She's running a good show and mentioned that she will put a News Update on the site soon. Also she tells me there will be NO changes to the program. Yippee!

- GWDC-online is back and beautiful. Running like a well oiled machine today. Thanks to Albert for getting it all fixed up and keeping us in the loop through email updates.

- Gord has been biting at the bit to get into the K-game server to load us all up in the Game. As he mentioned in his updates, you don't need to worry about that. He's taking good care of all the folks who joined the "game" through the Grand Bank Club site. Ahhhh I love it when someone else does all the work.





Monday, October 25, 2010

Are we up? Are we up?

- Been getting the word that the GWDC-online site is back up. Been checking myself and it's finally propagating in my area, although a little intermittent right now. So if it's not up for you yet, check again a little later. My understanding is the Admin "Albert" changed hosting a couple of times to get the right one. Hope it's a done deal now.

- Received a nice payment from Randy at Funds-o-Matic last night. Looking back at my stats, tomorrow will be 4 months running! I couldn't ask for a better program or Admin right now.
So glad I got involved here ;)

- Speaking of long running, Ad2Million will be 2 months old tomorrow and still kickin out that 2% daily. Membership is growing steady and quickly approaching 1000 members. Paying as fast as I can hit the request button too, LOL Nice job Carrie, keep up the good work.

- Will have news soon about GBC and the Prosperity Game once they are given permission to enter the "game" and place our positions on the board. Did I hear some payouts are right around the corner? Yippee!

Dear Albert of GWDC, the attackers of your site wanted me to send you this song. Yes, they wish to be forgiven and they would like to see us move forward just like it never happened.
I'm game :)
(ps, you know I made that up. I would never be involved with attackers but it sounded like a nice gesture)

All Together Now

Was thinking about this the other night, which of course got me singing.
- Funds-o-Matic is paying me 1% daily (7% weekly).
- Ad2Million is paying 2% daily.
- GWDConline is paying 3% daily.
I hope someone comes up with a 4% pretty soon, LOL



I'll be back in a bit. Slept for almost 12 hours last night so feeling much better today :) Heck I even took the time to reply to the Boxbe user!

*******

GWDC-online is still Offline. Go figure :(
URL doesn't work. IP addresses don't work, neither one.
From what I understand he's changing hosting services so when I know more, I'll let you know. Well better now than later right? Get these nagging little issues out of the way early.

*******

I get a Virus Warning when I try to log into GrapeVineFunds. Has that not been fixed yet? Maybe I'll have someone else log in for me to see if I have any earnings in there. What a mess eh?

*******

Have noticed a lot of new "inactive" referrals in Ad2Million these days. Am wondering if they're not receiving their 'activation email'? You don't have to wait for that, you know? Just go back to the site and log in with the same username and password you first created. You should then get a message that says something like "Click here to activate your account". Do that and you're good to go :))

*******

That song is just too cute not to post the full version. Been singing it all day long while the Cats cover their ears with their little paws, and if you've ever heard me sing, you'd know why. So might as well have a little fun on a Sunday right? You know what they say about "all work and no play". OK then :)

GWDC

GWDC-online has been having a rough time trying to keep things up since their launch yesterday. If you've already joined and can't access the site today, use this: http://67.23.166.72/
Hopefully that will work for you until the Admin gets things straightened out on his end. Thanks :)

*******

Those who use Boxbe to protect themselves from spam (or whatever it does), do whatever you need to do to pre-approve my email address before you send me an email and expect a reply. Not too much to ask is it?
Diagnostic-Code: X-Boxbe-Notice; Sender not pre-approved. Follow instructions in above notice

*******

Sorry if I seem a little crabby today. I got no sleep last night; today is the 23rd; and I've answered 2 more emails from folks asking 'have you seen js?'. Well I just hope those who visit his blog and notice that it's not been updated for a long time, think to contact me or one of the other bloggers he's got listed on the site. Else they will never know.

New Program Launch - GWDC

Was given a heads up this morning about a new program launch. OK am listening. It's not a fast cycler or a revenue share cycler, lol. It's more of a semi-slow runner which should give good results and last longer than the quickies we've seen as of late.
So here is the new GWDC-online:

gwdconline.com

- One simple plan pays 3% daily for 40 calendar days
- Principal is included in the 3% (120% ROI)
- Minimum purchase $5 - $10K cumulative
- Accepts AP, LR, PM and GDP
- Withdraw minimum .10 cents LR and 1.00 AP
- Purchasing from Account Balance IS allowed
- Pays a 5% RC on 'new' spends
- And of course, it's a HYIP, no surfing required

Do they say how they're making the money for you? Well maybe, but I don't pay too much attention to that since most of us know where the majority of the money is coming from, right?

Because I trust the person who showed it to me this morning, I already joined and made a small spend. Am anxious to read the review from Paul at MNO once it's completed. Also interested to see how it's accepted at the major forums. Positive posts can make a big difference in how well the program takes off and stays popular.

Even though I don't know the Admin personally, my Upline says: "Yes, he's launched another program that he ran honestly and though it didn't catch on it looks like everyone was pretty much paid." So that's good enough for me. I'm in and of course I'll update you as we roll :))

-----------------------
-----------------------

Hate to put an ugly post in with a good post, but I have to. Should have listened to my gut about this one, but I got in early, and was off and running before I knew what I know today. Anyway here's the latest update from the GrapeVineFunds Admin. You can believe it or not. I'll decide later when I see how much money he manages to recoup for the members. Sheesh!

We have a problem, today we had a security breach and to be honest I do not know how it happened but some one has managed to clear out our AP, STP and LR accounts, in short we have been stripped of all our money. I am currently in talks with all 3 PP's to try to recover the funds and up to now STP have more or less said they will return our funds and I think Alertpay will recover them but as for Liberty reserve they are not as helpful and I am worried that we will not recover a huge amount of money.
The problem arises from someone who obviously uses Moneynewsonline as a front and we are tracking him down, in the meantime please be careful as we also believe that he has sent out e-mails from GVF with a virus attached, what sick people we have on the internet.
We will not be able to make any payments except STP until this is sorted out and I am asking you all to patient whilst I sort out this matter, hopefully it will be resolved quickly, please do not be negative as we will make sure we make the payouts as soon as possible.
Please feel free to ask if you are worried, I am not going anywhere and will do my best to get our money back.
Ryan

So Ryan, how does someone manage to hack into all 3 of your pay processor accounts for this program? An inside job maybe? Who's running this show besides you? Huh?

-----------------------

On a happier note, my favorite programs are running great! Ad2Million, Funds-o-Matic, GBC's Easy40Plan & TeamCa$hCow to name a few. These are all run by Admins that I know and am comfortable with. Wish I could say that about everyone.

Karus aka the K-Game site is officially open now and Gord will be placing our new $40 board spots in the game tomorrow. I have a few positions already through both GBC and The Prosperity Game, so am looking at a nice long journey with this one. You can read all about it at GBC's Blog Page. Cool.

I have a nice story to tell you about Randy Mitchell of Funds-o-Matic. But will wait until everything is settled to share the details. It'll warm your heart ... trust me.

-----------------------

What's that old saying? Nice Guys Finish Last?
I really don't like being taken advantage of. And I don't like to see my fellow bloggers, promoters and friends being taken advantage of either. But some of these Admins are not what they appear to be. We need to learn who they are and how to avoid them in the future ... like the bubonic plague. hahaha

Ad2Million and other Cyclers

It will be 8 weeks old tomorrow.
We have 910 members as of right now.
Yes am talking about Ad2Million that hasn't skipped a beat since it launched. Who da thunk it eh?

Latest update in the member area (which is now over 3 weeks old) reads:
"Positions are cycling consistently:
All positions are cycling consistently since we opened 30 days ago. Many members are starting to get paid. We now are truly a 2% daily cycler
( Click here for our 2% daily calculator ) and getting more and more attention on the NET.

Please spend a few minutes and visit Blondie's blog page: http://blondesmakemoney.blogspot.com/ She is a well known and highly reputable on-line marketer. She is a very professional, responsible and extremely experienced on-line promoter. I am really sure that she will gain your confidence with ad2million."

I had to laugh when I read the part about me. Guess she doesn't know me very well, LOL. Just kidding. I did help her get things ready for launch, and am glad I did since it seemed to go pretty smooth on that day. And here we are, almost 8 weeks later, still running smooth as silk with earnings and payments done daily. Right on. Couldn't ask for much more, could ya?

*******

Which brings me to another subject ... all these New Fast Cash Cyclers launching. What the heck is going on with that?!?

Couldn't help but get interested in one that pre-launched last Friday. I almost allllllmost joined it but changed my mind at the last minute thinking that it's not something I could (or would want to) share with you guys. So was gonna join, just for fun, then talked myself out of it. As it turns out, am glad I did.

Like I said, it pre-launched Friday, full launch on Saturday. By Sunday people were wondering why it was going so slow. By Monday, questions really started to fly. Today, I see that most are disappointed.

Well with this kind of cycler, unless you're a big recruiter or can be the first one in, you might not make much (if any) money at all. It's a first come, first serve, (money in, money out) and if there's no NEW money coming in, there's nothing to share and it will die.

What surprised me was the Admin talking about opening yet ANOTHER program already! What?!? This one has barely gotten off the launch pad and you're wanting people to join yet another??? Wow! Can you say "greedy"?

Maybe it's just that time of year for Admins to lure people into their program using hyped promotions that don't produce, so that they (the admins) can have a nice Christmas. I know that's mean to say but that's how I see it.

Bottom line, I'm staying away from the "fast" cycler programs. As fast as you can win, you can lose. And I'm not keen on losing these days. I've got waaay too many kitty mouths to feed around here, and cat food is not cheap. OK

Anybody Remember This Post?

Monday mornin feels so bad
Everybody seems to naaaaag me
Comin' Tuesday I'll feel better
Even my old man looks good ...














hahahahaha (sry js, I couldn't resist)
(see the song below to understand my 'lyrics')





Those of you who have been around me for a few years might remember the above. It was actually posted in my Nov. 10, 2008 blog post. When I was looking back for my anniversary dates the other day, this one jumped out at me big time! Started laughing my ass off and decided it was just too frickin funny not to post again. Thanks as always to that wacky js for keeping us entertained over the years, har!

-----------------------

Let me play catch-up for a few minutes before I start rambling again.

- Ad2Million ... got paid a nice healthy chunk of moola late Sunday night. Thanks always to Carrie and Members.

- Funds-o-Matic continues to rock. Requested my weekly payout today.

- GrapeVineFunds is still brewing their alcoholic beverages and have paid me a little of my share today.

- CherryShares ... although I am not promoting it to you, did pay me today also.

- GrandBankClub's Easy 40 Plan ... told ya Gord was up to something good. Read his latest and greatest blog update today and hopefully this will get folks a little more excited about promoting this wonderful game we're in. Hey Gord? Already got my first referral lined up for Thursday, LOL

- Team Ca$h Cow and the F5M program ... I don't talk about Pete and Team Ca$h Cow nearly enough. Maybe because the program we're in takes awhile to see some return. So other than all the cool things that Pete is adding to the site on a regular basis, there's no money talk to be made. Not yet anyway :) I did notice that I have a new paid referral in F5M so I'm getting close to a payout there. I did upgrade to Silver not long ago which should help also. We do have a Team Conference Room in TCC and the next "get together" will be tomorrow at 9:00 PM EST which is 7 PM my time ... dinner. argh. Like I said, I'll try.
Thanks Pete for all you do!!!

-----------------------


Decided to save my rambling for tomorrow.
Am sure you guys are sick of me by now plus I have to start my
Gołąbki [ɡɔˈwɔmpki] soon.
Have a good night (wave)

Does It Really Happen In Three's?

Was reading a newsletter last night about The Vault being gone and WBwso first closing to new members and now they're not paying? (or maybe they are. see comments below) Well am not in those two (thank goodness) but I am in Cherry Shares and I don't care for their news either.
They're changing their 'plans' come the first of the year which includes (but not limited to) No More referral commissions unless you have 5K running in their program. What?
If you recall, this is the one I joined due to losing an arm wrestling match. So I'm gonna play it out until the end and will be happy when my invested dollars turns to profit. Have about 2/3 of my seed money back so far. Wish me luck :)
PS, I don't have any 'active' referrals in CS. Whew! Takes the edge off knowing it's just me I need to worry about.

*******

So now that those 3 are out of the way, leaves more room for the ones that are actually working and paying for all my Cat Food, ha! (remind me to tell you about "Little No Ears" later)

Just received a really nice RC in Ad2Million. Thanks "G". And as I mentioned in previous posts and in the forums, folks are taking this one seriously. Just from my own referral list, I've seen some pretty healthy deposits made here, early on and present. So am hoping that Carrie (admin) does have the right idea as membership grows at a good pace and everyone's earning the "set" 2% daily. Sure is working for me.

*******

Another fine tuned machine out there is Gord and his GBC's Easy 40 Plan. He's got some new ideas that have been clanking around in his head for awhile now and will share with you soon. In the meantime, everything is on schedule and working/paying as it should. Remember, even when the "main" program goes live to the world, you can still join through GBC and it will still cost $40 per position as it always has.

*******

I planned on being more talkative today but have been sick since Friday. So if you don't see me again, this is why.

Happy Anniversary Blondie!

Today is my 3 Year Blog Anniversary!














Can you believe it?
Was thinking about it last night and decided to go back 2 years and read up on how I was doing in 2008. Loved reading the comments I received from folks who are still my friends today. Cool huh! Have a peek here if you're interested at all. I sure sounded happy, didn't I?

So much has changed over the past 2 years also. Look at all the stuff I was involved in back then and everything was doing pretty good too. Now you can't seem to trust anything unless you know the Admin personally and can vouch for him or her. Even then, Admin's can be sneaky and slip off into the night when no one is looking.

Then there's your friends you have to think about. People who you've grown to love over the years and suddenly they're not here anymore leaving you wondering why.

OK not trying to bum you guys out, was just thinking out loud, that's all. So wish me a Happy Anniversary and that should cheer me up today. Okie dokie. Thanks :))

This is also my 1015 blog post. Yikes!!

*******

Hey you remember what I said about Budgetiva on Monday? No? Scroll down and take a peek. Glad I didn't fall for that one and I hope you didn't either. Site appears to be gone. I guess they paid out referral comm's along the way but did anyone actually get their 144%? I don't think so. Flippin scammers!

And did I hear The Vault is gone too? Or maybe just reorganizing. Hmmm

*******

Just requested some payouts from Funds-o-Matic, GrapeVineFunds and CherryShares. They're all doing good to date and I hope they stay that way.

Will make a w/d request from Ad2Million tomorrow since you can only do that once every 7 days. Speaking of which, I know you guys love to re-purchase (compound) and watch your earnings get bigger faster, but don't forget to take some out for yourself once in a while too, OK? It's always more fun playing with profit. Agreed?

*******

My heater (furnace) was blasting me with hot air this morning. It gets really cold here at night but today we're suppose to hit a record high of 82 degrees. Then get some SNOW this coming Monday. Well I got my Hoodie so I'm ready for it this time, LOL

*******

Good News (as always) from Grand Bank Club's Easy 40 Plan:
Congratulations to members..koiman and bksmithers for completing the 40 Board and receiving payment.
I don't personally know bksmithers, but I do know koiman. That's my friend Bill who just had a birthday on the 10th. Congrats to you both!!

*******

I decided it was time to go "Grazer" in Team Ca$h Cow. I was doing sorta good keeping up as a Stampeder in Sept until that last week which threw me out of the running for the extra 'bonus' bucks. Anyway, I paid my dues into the Feed Bag and am thankful for those of you who do have the time and fast connections to do the stampeding. (bow)

*******

In closing, just wish js were here to celebrate with us. Am sure he'd have some wacky comment for his grasshopper today, har! Miss you John.

The Big 50 Day

Seems my Tidbit from yesterday was wrong (as Greg pointed out in his comment). Well, either that or they meant "October" only? Either way, who cares? Not a big deal.

*******

Boy am I glad I didn't try to play in that new program launch last night. I never mentioned it here and never did sign up for it either. When I saw 5,000 members in pre-launch waiting to run each other over when the gates opened ... no thanks, I'll stay out. And from what I've read today ... looks like I made the right decision.

*******

Hey, my first spots bought in Ad2Million have cycled 50 times now! YaY! Of course I'm in profit already because I have quite a few positions plus a nice handful of referrals. Thanks you guys!!
It IS going well, isn't it?

*******

Speaking of going well, just read that we're over 50 spots in GBC's Easy 40 Plan too. And 2 more members will be paid shortly. Thanks Gord for keeping us all up to date on the inside workings. Much appreciated!

*******

Got paid last night from
- Funds-o-Matic (doing great and in profit) plus
- Cherry Shares (still working on gettin that seed money out :)
Gonna save GrapeVineFunds payment for later in the week. There's just not enough in there to pull out yet.

*******

OK, here's something of interest along with a story.

Getting ready for winter and snow and snow shoveling, I bought myself a Hoodie the other day. I tried it on in the store, and tried it on again at home before washing it to make sure it was the right size and all.
A couple of mornings ago, I woke up with bite marks all over my face. Probably 4-5 at least and one of them was on my forehead right at the hairline and it itched like crazy!
So am thinkin a spider, fly or mosquito got me during the night. Unless one of the cats brought a flea in the house. Hmmm
Then today I get this article and have to wonder if this is what happened to me. (Thanks to Jim for sending the email.) The Hoodie and all my bed clothes have now been washed and dried!

A bit of information that you might like to know about. We have friends here in our community and one of their sons is an entomologist (insect expert), and has been telling them that there is an epidemic of bed bugs now occuring in America.
Recently I have heard on the news that several stores in NYC have had to close due to bed bug problems, as well as a complete mall in New Jersey.

He says that since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes from companies outside of America, (sad but true), even the most expensive stores sell foreign clothing from other countries.
The bed bugs are coming in on the clothing as these countries do not consider them a problem.
He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, even underware and socks, sheets, towels, etc. that you bring them into the house and put them in your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes. The heat will kill them and their eggs.

DO NOT PURCHASE CLOTHES AND HANG THEM IN THE CLOSET FIRST.
It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S. They still get shipments from these countries and the bugs can come in a box of scarves or anything else for that matter. That is the reason why so many stores, many of them clothing stores have had to shut down in NYC and other places. All you need is to bring one item into the house that has bugs or eggs and you will go to hell and back trying to get rid of them. He travels all over the country as an advisor to many of these stores, as prevention and after they have the problem.
