Guess I Missed The Bus

The PAC-RS bus came and went and forgot to pick me up. Ahhh heck, guess I'll have to wait for the next one now.

The site is still propagating and hasn't got to my area yet. So I'm sitting here reading all these happy posts from members who are upgrading, surfing and cashing out. Not much I can do for now. So I'm just waiting.

For those of you who didn't get in earlier, they've lowered the Minimum First Deposit to $5 starting today (Wed.) through to Sunday.
Also they are giving away a 5% bonus on all Ad Pack purchases from now through to Sunday.
So this is a good time to get started, if you haven't yet :)





PS, I didn't create that banner but thought it was humorous.
Feel free to use it if you like, js said so!

*******

Hey I got a Coyote story for you but I'd like to get a picture of the little guy first. I'll try again tonight and hope the flash doesn't scare him.

*******

Lookie Lookie - Here Come's Cookie! A Chocolate Cookie Recipe that is!!! Check the new banner here on the right. Just got it from Zooloot. Now it's in my blog to stay for as long as you keep selling those recipes Sylvia. (She pays a good referral commission too, so if you're interested (wink))

*******

You guys remember the trashy house across the street that was foreclosed on? A realtor bought it and is "flipping it". I'm guessing he paid the $135k or less. So after a couple of months of gutting it and pretty much rebuilding the whole thing top to bottom, here it is all clean and shiny, inside and out!








































Nice huh? And only a mere $238,500!!! Yikes!

Feeling better today :) I'll be around as long as my laptop holds up.

*******

OK, decided to tone this comment down from the original one I wrote. haha

Progress IS being made on the PAC sites. Maybe they'll be up and running later on today. I don't know yet.
We have been asked NOT TO go there and do anything UNTIL we have the official word from the Admins. So just relax, take a chill pill and stay cool.

8:00 PM MST Update: Looks like everybody and their brother can now get into PAC-RS. But I still can't for some strange reason. I've been given a few different methods to try to get in, but none of them work. So I'll keep trying until I have to "call it a night" and will check again tomorrow. Am happy to see a lot of you got in OK and got your surfing and upgrades done :))

*******

Note from Gilbert re: SurfingLegacy ...
Dear blondie,
I would like to ask everyone who has an active upgrade to please log into their accounts to activate the auto-pending of the upgrades that I have manually expired.
Once those upgrades have gone to pending the next step is to place them in 'waiting' status to be gradually paid out over time.
This process has to be manually done but I will keep updating everyone of the progress.
Gilbert

Here's a good SCAM Alert!















*******

This is interesting ... email subject line was: E-Cash for Clunkers (those in the USA know the term) Thanks Louis for sending it on. On and I don't know if it's real or not. Wanted to share .. just in case, haha

This is very important that you watch the video at the bottom. This is not a joke.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO ON THE "CASH FOR CLUNKERS" WEBSITE, CARS.GOV, FOR ANY REASON! Even to just see how much you could get for your car! After you get to the "Terms" page, and hit "I Accept" the next screen you get will inform you that you just gave the Federal Government the right to access information on your computer, because by using this site your computer's data just became federal property! Agencies included are DOT, IRS, DMV's, DHHS, FDA, Homeland Security and others. YOU DO NOT FIND OUT THAT YOU GRANTED THEM PERMISSION UNTIL AFTER YOU CLICK "I ACCEPT!"

Glenn Beck demonstrated this on his show, using a totally empty Laptop,
that wasn't connected to his or any FOX News computer network, by having
the camera shoot over his shoulder as he hit "I Accept." I couldn't
believe my eyes. Big Brother is really here!

Watch the video where Beck does this.....

The PAC gals are still working with the hosting company to get our sites back up to snuff. Nothing much we can do but wait and hope it doesn't take much longer :) No Worries as Kazzy says. They'll be back ASAP.

*******

Can't stick around today. Mowed my lawn this morning before it got TOO hot. So I came in sweating, which turned to chills, which turned to stomach cramps and weird heart palpitations. So I decided to take it easy, cover up with a blankie on the couch and see if goes away. Hope the bologna sandwich and chocolate milk will help too, haha

*******

Was hoping to see PAC-RS back today, but no such luck :( I'll just check back later on and you should too. I'm sure the Admin's will make it up to us somehow :)

"Sorry guys- went off to bed last night after speaking with the host. Unfortunately they now say that there was a raid array failure on the server and they are working on fixing things.
Please just bear with us. We'll work it out. "

If you missed yesterday's post, PAC-RS is having problems with their Alert Pay mass payment feature (and maybe other pay processors as well). So if you're waiting on a 'pending' payment or a 'paid' payment to actually show up in your pay processor, sit tight, or hang loose, whichever you prefer. It'll all be fixed soon.
2:30 EST: The site is down now, and per the Admin:
"Hi Everyone,
Both sites are not available at the moment. We have submitted an urgent ticket and left a phone message for the Host.
Thanks for your patience.
P.S- no, we aren't doing anything- if we were , we would inform you all before hand. "

*******

Happy Friday Giggle :)

Reminds me of Lou Dog. She does that a lot! haha

*******

Hey I was right about PAC-RS. We maxed the daily rebate again yesterday which means my first ad pack completed at 135% Now remember I've been adding funds daily in order to get the full rebate. Those who have not, should be half way through IF you started the same day as me. So today I need to decide whether I add my 50%, or More! I am definitely going to keep this one going :))

*Oh forgot to mention, PAC-RS had trouble with their morning batch of the Alert Pay "mass payment" function. So if you received the email that you got paid and your cash-out is showing Paid in your back office, BUT you haven't received it to AP yet, DO NOT send in a ticket. All will be fixed ASAP.

*******

SoloAdsXtreme is a DEAD site. You can advertise there for Free but I sure as hell wouldn't give them the $3 to upgrade. Yes, I donated my 3 bucks plus a few more from folks that I paid their way in. Oh well, live and learn eh? Case Closed!

*******

Guess What? A Blue Jay showed up in my tree today. First one I've seen since the Storm 11 days ago. I threw him some peanuts and he looked at me like I was crazy! I don't think he remembers who I am. Bummer.

*******

Yes it's Official ... Gilbert from Surfing Legacy will be re-opening the site and refunding members (who were still active) as money permits. Stay tuned for more :)

*******

Hey my butt hurts. I gotta get otta this chair for a while.
Holy Crap! There's another storm coming in! Good thing I didn't fix the holes in the house yet. Might have more soon! hahaha, shoot! It's always somethin, isn't it?
I was just chatting with js and he mentioned "you better fix them holes", which of course reminded me of this song.
Go figure :))



*******

Real Quick One

I've got stuff to do today so this will be fast.

PAC-RS is still going strong and we have earned the max daily rebate since day one. Thanks to all the members for that :) Now, assuming it will be maxed again today, my first ad pack will expire at 135% tonight. Wow, that went by really fast!! Good thing I've got plenty more 'ad packs' to watch. haha

*******

Gilbert of the former Surfing Legacy is contemplating re-opening the program with a lower daily ROI %. Well that might be OK especially since he's talking about giving funds back to those of us who had un-expired ad packs when he closed. Stay tuned for more or give your 2 cents worth in the thread in MMG if you like.

*******

As I briefly mentioned last night, I did receive a nice payout from GoldNuggetInvest yesterday. Thanks Robert and GNI for making it through that rough time. I hope things will settle down and get back to normal now.

*******

I'm in a Private Surf that I can't mention here, but if you're in it with me don't forget that the last two days of the month are "compound" days, OK?

*******

One more thing ... TAZOODLE Pre-Launch Info: (hey js, am gonna borrow some stuff from you since I don't have much time to do the research and write it myself. thanks ;)

"This is the new search engine that will launch in about 3 months. Do a Ctrl-F or Find on Tazoodle in this blog to read more about it (I talk about it in multiple places). It's free to join. This one will pay you to perform searches, unlike in Google and Yahoo, who don't pay you anything. In any case, I really don't need to pitch this to you, it's a no-brainer. Now read what one of my colleagues says about it (am lazy, so I borrowed his wording):

But do it now during the pre-launch as you can get a much bigger slice of the revenue sharing if you join before August 1st (js: and buy the min. of $100 in advertising). They are offering a 200% bonus on advertising credits with a minimum purchase of $100 and up to $10,000 - so you get 3 times the amount if you make the move now. And you receive 1% a day from all your credits until launch. This is where the big money will be made.

In some ways it is set up like a traffic exchange program, but with this one you share the advertising revenues of what is expected to be a major search engine. Just do it!

Now, back to yours truly: Some instructions before you rush off and plunk down your $100 (reminder, you don't have to, ok? This is for those who would like to both advertise and earn some good bucks at the same time, over and above what the others will make who opted out of this advertising deal).

When you go and "Purchase Advertising" for the $100 via Paypal (Credit Card) or Soiid Trust Pay you will have to fill out a form. Near the bottom it asks you for the Sponsor's Name, that would be Judy Morrison and the Sponsor Account Number, that would be 2299.

It would also help if you first write down your own Account Number as they will want that and it is found via the My Account Information link. Finally, for the Advertised Website this is where you should put the site you would like advertised, whether your blog, or some link to your favorite programme (like Adventures4U or PAC Rev Share). (*a few things removed by me)

NOTE: When paying via Paypal or STP note that you will have to key in your Tazoodle account number (at least you do in Paypal, click on the plus sign where it says Tazoodle Account Number in blue, don't miss this!). Ok, now go sign up for free, and advertise or not. "

*******

That's all for now. Gotta Run!

This May Be A Little Harsh But ...

When I saw this pic over at Hermit Jim's blog, I couldn't resist posting it myself. Maybe I'm just overdue for a good rant.
.























I read something the other day that really irritated me. I chose not to say anything to that person because I didn't want them to take it the wrong way.

What bothers me are people who think they know everything. They feel the need to give advice on something that they personally know nothing about. They also expect others to jump at their suggestions ... no matter who gets hurt (or loses) in the long run.

Now I'm sure what was said, was said with good intentions. But don't they realize they could be harming others in the process?

Maybe not. Maybe they have money growing out their ears and don't have to worry about such things.

But if I'm in a paying program, that's putting food on my table, and I see someone suggesting that you all get out of it ... well duh! Puts me a little on edge, ya know?

In any case (and before I get carried away) ... don't believe everything you read from everyone. No matter how smart or informed they want you to think they are. Sometimes it's best to just go with your heart, (or your gut) and the facts!! Then do what's right for you. And try not to be too influenced by the know-it-all's in this business.

OK, enough of my rant.
Maybe that'll help me feel better today :))
(And No, I'm not talking about YOU, or you, OR you.
So don't ask)

PS Bottom line is:
Never bite the hand that feeds you, OR feeds others.
You know, every day I feed skunks, raccoons, coyotes, stray cats, squirrels and blue jays. Not one of them has ever bit me or sprayed (skunks) me. I trust them to be smarter than us humans. Sad isn't it?

PPS or is that PSS or maybe even PMS (ha): Sorry Jim, I didn't take your suggestion of "best not to say nothing". I'm a bad bad girl today! But it sure feels good :) LOL

*******

Hey I need to Surf and Shower.
Maybe I can wash my grumpiness away.
I'll be back a little later, OK?

*******

Oh forgot to mention ...
I was PAID today by PAC-RS and GNI.
Rock On!!!

*******

Dr Watson, I Presume?

Was doing a little "close up" investigating yesterday and realized TODAY is Rodney's Birthday!

You know Rod, the blogger guy who loves to go fishing.

So go wish him a Happy Birthday in his blog comments if you like. I'm sure he'll appreciate it lots and lots :)

Happy Birthday Rod and many many more!!!
I saw that he is in the Birthday Bonus Club too, so I sent him a little present last night and told him not to spend it all in once place :))

*******

Hey Good Morning!
I was up late last night watching a Mama Raccoon and five babies playing in the water puddle in front of my house. They were so cute jumping in the water and splashing each other and washing their little hands and feet. It was hard to tear myself away from the window. And they did eat all the bread I gave them too. Cute little buggers they are.

*******

"Another One Bites The Dust" ... Surfing Legacy is closed! Very understandable since it seems like I'm the only one who put in more money than I withdrew because of the 50/50 rule. Most were smarter than me and skated off with the loot. That's OK. These things can only last so long and when the money is gone, it's gone. We all know how they work, right?

*******

Sylvia (very nice lady) over at Zooloot Chocolate Recipes is going to notify me when she has the smaller banner ready to go. Hey I've made 2 sales so far! Thanks guys! Remember to give her a couple hours to activate your site so that you can download the book. If she's too slow, drop her an email. She's very responsive.

*******

Still very very happy with PAC RS. Did my usual routine today, purchased, surfed and put in for a withdraw. They're close to 100K in deposits now and doing some fun contests. And once again the max rebate was accomplished yesterday! YaY!!! (what else can I say?)

*******

Been cleaning house here today.. here in my blog that is. Whoever is running SoloAdsXtreme needs to shi* or get off the pot! I have referrals (that I paid their way in) still showing as Free and another referral (who I also paid for) disappear from my list. Also wasn't payday the 15th which turned into the 20th? Here it is the 28th and still nothing.
Flu or no flu, either run your site or close it!! Or at least have the courtesy to send the members an email explanation about your absence.

*******

Well I hate to leave on a bitchy note, but I'm gonna anyway :P I really DO have to clean house, do laundry and think about what to defrost for dinner tonight. So if I don't see you again, have a great day! (wave)

*******

Good Dogs and Chocolate

Update on the Chocolate Recipe Book:
Heard back from Sylvia at Zooloot Chocolate. She is going to get us a 125 x 125 banner sometime later this week. And my sponsor and I are thinking that she's doing everything manually in the site also .. so if you Paid but can't download the book, just send her a note and she'll take care of it. Mine can be downloaded today :)

*******

I wonder what kind of stupid software is being sold out there for spammers? Some idiot just posted an Ad (spam) in the comments section of my Dec 13, 2007 blog update. No don't go there to look. I did NOT publish it. Was just wondering why anyone would do something that dumb? Ya know?

*******

Man oh man ... I am happy as a pig in slop with PAC Revenue Share. My first ad pack is already up to 99% paid back as the daily ROI has been maxed since the beginning. For those of you who didn't take advantage of the first week promos, to get started now will cost a minimum of $50 and you cannot move money from 'rebate' to 'cash balance' to upgrade any longer. Oh and Yes, I've been making new purchases every day in order to get 100% of the daily rebate. But if you're not able to do that, just do your surfing and you'll still earn 50% of the daily rebate. So we'll all max out at 135%, but those who can afford to add funds daily will get there twice as fast. Am I talking too much?

*******

Just a heads up on Surfing Legacy. I'm half way through my second round with them and the stats on the front page are starting to worry me. Unless there is some kind of massive new membership (or money) soon, am not sure I'll make it out alive. ha! You get my drift, yes?

*******

NO Puppies here today!
I almost kinda sorta maybe a little, miss them. Seems weird NOT having to say:
- LEAVE the cats alone!
- STOP digging in the couch
- The remote control is NOT a chew toy
- That is NOT your room
- WHAT are you chewing on now?
- Sit down - Lay down - No begging!
- STOP chasing the cats!
- WHY is my carpet wet?!?
- That is NOT yours! spit it out!
- Shouldn't it be nap time???

"Whatever"




















I'm just joking :)
You know I love my grand doggies!
Especially when they're napping.
hahahahaha Good Dogs!




*******

Chocolate Anyone?

So here we are. A nice quiet Saturday with the cats and the squirrels. Yep, the squirrels came back this morning. Two at least. Not sure where the third one is yet. Hope he didn't get pelted by the hail storm :(

*** My Sunday Update:
Hold off on this chocolate thing. Owner of the site is NOT answering emails and myself and another person have not been able to download the "book". Will update more as I learn.

OK for you Chocolate Lovers out there and those who like to bake with chocolate ... here's something you might enjoy. I read the front page and said "ah what the hell, it's only 5 bucks and I'm pretty sure I DO know a few folks who will like these recipes".



I've sent them an email requesting a 125x125 banner so that I can add them to the right side here. I hope they can do that for us. In the meantime, I'm gonna start the website moving around the surf's. Smells good eh? haha

*******
*******

Getting this weird message when I try to go to MMG today:

Reported Attack Site!
This web site at www.moneymakergroup (.com) has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.
Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

So until it's taken care of, I'm NOT clicking on anything in that box. I'm told I can get around it by using IE but ... no thanks. I'll wait it out :)

*******
*******

While I was taking a shower, I got paid from PAC-RS :)
Nice little habit I'm getting into there: Purchase, Surf, Withdraw. And it doesn't matter what order I do it in, it always works just fine.

*******
*******

Hey I need to go clean up my veggie garden. The one and only thing that wasn't totaled from the Hail Storm. See you all later :))

TGIF

Trying to get some work done here while the grandkids (doggies) are wrestling around on the couch and fighting over a toy ... Is it nap time yet? haha

*******

Was just checking over at GNI and read that they'll try to be back up and running by this afternoon, EDT. Well that's OK. I'll check back there tomorrow. Hope everything in my account is the same, ya know?
OK, so curiosity killed the cat (so they say). I couldn't wait any longer so I logged in and Hey! Everything looks great! Kudos to the team at GNI for bringing us back to life so quickly! YaY!!!

*******

Reminder for PAC Revenue Share ... starting today First New Purchases are minimum $50 and cash outs from Rebate to Cash Balance are not allowed. You will have to withdraw your rebate to your Pay Processor (PP) and purchase through the PP, or purchase with whatever money you have left in cash balance. Make sense? Maybe not. I'm really tired this week.
WoW! The girls must be at their desk now. Requested a payout and received it in about 30 minutes. Nice :))

*******

Wanna hear something sad? Since that storm came through here, I have not seen one (out of 3 that I know of ) Squirrel or one Blue Jay ... and here I sit with all these peanuts :(
But there was a Bunny in my back yard last night. Never saw a Bunny there before! I did NOT feed him. I didn't want him sticking around to be Coyote food. Nope. That would not be good.

*******

Beware of Hackers!

GoldNuggetInvest
If you received yet another email from the hackers about how to get your money out of GNI (which included links) ... please ignore it!
The site has been up and down but the Admin assures us all is fine and we should be back to normal very soon.
As a precaution, you may want to change your password in your PP (especially Liberty Reserve) account and maybe your GNI account also, since the hackers seem to have all that information at their fingertips.

*******

PAC Revenue Share
Today is the last day for the 5$ minimum first deposit. Tomorrow it will be raised to $50. So if you've been thinking of getting started at the lower amount, you've got a few more hours.
Also today is the last day that you can move rebate money to cash balance. Since it must be in 'cash balance' to purchase, I am personally moving all of my rebates to c/b today so that I can continue purchasing through the site rather than through my pay processor.
Here's part of a note from the Admin's last night:

- The Minimum FIRST Deposit will be $50 from tomorrow 24th July.(please refer to our FAQs for the full scheduled changes)

If you have not purchased an AdPack yet, you have about 24 hours to do so before the Minimum goes up.

- There will be no more Cashouts to Cash Balance for the Life Time of the program

Please inform your friends about these 2 changes.

And a couple of notes:

Please advice your friends to use a gmail account when signing up.Not manadtory, but very advisable.

- If your friends are completely new , please ask them to 'purchase' Standby membership.It's free.Only then will they be able to purchase AdPacks with the Funds in their Wallet.

To your Success always!

Kazzy and EL

Gimme a holler if you have questions although I may not be around much today. Have both the doggies here again and they are a handful :)

Stormy Stormy Night

Was a helluva night here!!
Thunder, lightning, rain, hail, high winds, flooding, tornadoes, power outages, windows broken out of houses and cars, trees uprooted or limbs down, all their leaves shredded along with my corn, sunflowers and every flowering plant that I have!
The rain woke me up just after 10 PM. As I shut the window, I was pelted in the face with the blowing rain. Then the hail started. I thought for sure it was a tornado. The noise from the rain and hail hitting the sides of the house, windows and roof were so loud, I could barely hear myself talk. And I could feel the house shaking under my feet!
Just as I thought I should be taking cover, it started to lighten up a bit. Twenty minutes later, it was all over. But wait till you see my neighborhood today. I'll take a pic or two and show you a little later. Whew! ** pics at the bottom
And my cable TV just went out. Oh well.

*******

Assuming you all got the same spammer email that I did last night regarding your GoldNuggetInvest account ... It was followed up with a very nice note from the program admin. If you freaked out and put in for a w/d request, your funds have been sent back to your account balance to give you time to think it through. If you still wish to w/d (after knowing the truth), you can do that today. I'm leaving my funds in the program. Don't see any reason to panic myself. Hope I'm right :)

*******

Received 2 payments last night from Surfing Legacy. Also made my 50% purchase in order to receive the bigger one. So I'm off and running for another 14 days minimum. Thanks to Gilbert the Admin, it was paid pronto!

*******

Jake is here with me again today. He keeps trying to eat the leftover hail from last night that's still on the grass. But he's got a sensitive tummy so I'm keeping a close eye on him.

*******

Earned the Max again yesterday in PAC RS.
All is good :)
And I just learned it doesn't matter if you purchase and surf OR surf then purchase. Since the magic time for the daily ROI is midnight, you WILL earn on your new purchase as well as the others. Cool eh?

*******

Watching a couple of guys right now help a neighbor board up her broken window. That's a bummer. Hmmm I haven't checked my garage window or basement windows yet. Maybe I should go do that now.

OK, windows are fine but one side of the house is beat to hell! Full of holes from the pounding hail. Dang! And I already had a claim this year for the roof. Unfortunately I think each claim comes with it's own $1K deductible.

Blurry pic but you get the idea. All that green in the street is leaves, bushes and flowers shredded to bits!

Then there's my poor sunflowers .. or what's left of them. And there used to be corn to the right. Not any more :(



















By now you must know how my mind works. Stormy Stormy Night makes me think of this song. Enjoy :)




*******
The End

"Clear The Mechanism"

I said that to myself several times last night while trying to get to sleep. I knew I had to be up early today cause Jake was coming back over, yet 3 hours later I was still awake. At least I had nice thoughts of Kevin Costner in "For Love Of The Game" while reciting his line :)

*******

Still no word from SoloAdsXtreme about fixing my downline and giving me credit for them. And is today their pay day? Well I'm not going to promote them any longer until they show me that someone is actually there taking care of business.

*******

Did my usual "routine" in PAC Revenue Share this morning which consists of ...
check my account, move rebates to cash balance, purchase and surf. Until the 24th, that will be what I do every day.
Just a reminder,when you are spreading the word about PRS the upcoming changes are:
- Minimum First Deposit will be $50 on the 24th
- Cashing out to Account Balance will be disabled on the 24th.You will only be able to withdraw to your Payment Processor.
Until the 24th, the minimum first purchase is 5$. So if you want to get in or get someone in a the lower starting amount, now is the time.
The daily rebates have been maxed so far which makes me real happy! And of course, I'm thinking long term here :)

*******

Later today will be my 14th day completed at Surf Legacy!
Note that the 'server' time is 3 hours ahead of the 'purchase' time. Weird stuff but if you are going to make a new purchase for that day, do it after 3 A.M. server time. I'll be doing that later tonight or first thing in the morning.

*******
*******

Seeee ... I'm not too big for the Kitty Bed!














Even when I stretch out ... I still fit !!!














OK OK maybe the couch would be more comfy.














Thank You Gramma for taking care of me this week while I recover from the little snip-snip I had last Wednesday (ouch)!

Hey if you guys wanna see something really cute, click on the pic and see if it opens to full screen for you.
