Summer Score!

I have two sons, Zechariah (9) and Nathanael (7). I homeschool them during Fall, Winter, and Spring, but they started out behind so its been hard trying to catch them up.

So this year I started looking for a summer school program to help them. Score Educational Center has a reading program for every grade. They help make the reading fun and the children seem to enjoy it. With the types of learning they provide I have heard that a child can literally be reading a grade level higher at the end of the thirty one-hour sessions. Those sessions can be spread out over the entire summer or just a few concentrated days.

I signed up for more information on their site and am anxiously awaiting their call back. It is definitely everything I need for my children. I would love for the boys to feel good about their reading for a change. Score Educational Center can accomplish that. I think that reading well will make them totally different people. They don't get teased a lot or anything, because they are homeschooled, but real accomplishment breeds real self esteem, and that is what I am going for.

If your child is having trouble in any subject please feel free to investigate at Summer Program I was thrilled with the idea of a program like this. My boys are even excited!

Hoping for a Miracle!!!!!

RED ALERT!!!!!

Madelein McCann was abducted from her hotel room in Praia Da Luz, Portugal in March of this year (2007). This is every parents nightmare, so please, for this little girls sake, look this picture over and memorize her features. Notice the abnormality in her right eye. This is the mark everyone on the news is drawing our attention to. Her parents are devestated and willing to do anything to get her back, after all, wouldn't you be. Please help. You never know who might see her or where she might be. If you can, you may even want to post the picture to your site so we can give this as much coverage as possible. Copy the pic and put it in your emails, or whatever. I know that whatever you can do will help. Most of all, pray. Its really the only thing besides being vigalant that we can do, and its an awful lot. If all of this sounds corny to you, try and think of how you'd feel. Thanks, in advance, for all that you do.

A Direct way to advertise for a specific advertiser.

Payperpost Direct has recently come out with a new feature that will ensure bloggers much happiness.

Imagine being able to find your own advertisers. Maybe an advertiser is scanning through your blog and likes your theme. What’s more is that the advertiser loves the way you, in particular, write. Well with payperpost direct, the advertiser could hire you with the click of a button, or should I say badge?

To begin with, the blogger posts the payperpost direct badge on their blog. This badge is located in your ppp tools icon. Then simply hit the ppp direct badge and there you are, right smack in the middle of the payperpost direct badge center. You pick the color and the style, the lowest price you would take for a direct advertising opportunity and select widget. From here on you want to make sure to verify your url and then hit add widget. You will then be brought up to your template and the badge will automatically be placed on your page.

Simple huh?

The best part is that payperpost only charges a super small fee for this opportunity. In fact, the charge is 10% compared to 50% or higher that its competitors, such as Review Me, charge.

I can't believe that they charge so much less, while doing so much work. They make sure we get paid, the earnings get claimed on taxes, and the cut out the risk factors that come from trying to negotiate with an advertiser. I mean, lets get real. Do we even know a fake advertiser from a real one? I sure don't. Payperpost is taking all the risk and they have experience in knowing the difference.

For you newbie bloggers, like me, this feature is available to all bloggers, and is simple to use. So come on and join at get paid to blog. You are bound to be happy you did!

Blogging and the money you make.

I have been doing this blogging thing for about two weeks and you know what? I really like it. Even though nobody ever comes to visit or comment and basically I am just talking to myself (laughing) I am enjoying writing what I think.

Hows the money, you ask? Well, not real good. At least, not right now, but I think that willl change once I get a visitor or two. LOL. I have had a couple of comments once or twice, but I think they were pity conversations. No, I am just kidding. For payperpost.com alone I have made about $20.35 for posts, and $15.00 for one referral, and for AssociatedContent.com I have earned about $20 also. That isn't too bad, considering I don't post a lot.

I am currently trying to post more often in order to make a better wage, but I struggle to find things to write about and I wonder how to get people to my blog and increasing my ratings. (Here is where the upper crust bloggers are laughing at me, instead of being nice, and offering me advice. lol) Thats just mean, you guys.

I am probably talking to myself, but oh well, it gives me something to do. :)

Anyway, just letting you know about my progress.

Hope you are gaining on your goals and having a great time doing it!!

See you soon. (probably in the mirror.) sigh.

Think ahead and never stop for directions!

Women, are you tired of getting lost? Men, are you tired of someone always telling you to get out and ask for directions? Then this is for both of you! (Smile)

Publicroutes.com has recently popped up to help us save time, gas, and maybe even a few marriages along the way, by giving us printable directions online. Wherever you may be going, it will help you find your way. Simply choose the city you are interested in and hit enter. From there it is simple. Actually, the whole process is simple, quick, and easy. Fill in the text boxes required to find the directions you are looking for and before you know it, you have your directions. Woohoo!!!

This site has other features that are wonderful. In fact, it allows you to "map it." This is where you enter the place you'd like the map of and voila!! The map appears. It is a nice detailed map that you can zoom in on for the finer details or zoom out on to reduce the more than needed details.

Its definitely worth a look see. So, I'll see you there. If you can't find it stop here, get driving directions, for directions. LOL, Otherwise you might end up lost in a train, in the middle of nowhere or worse. (Smile)

Everybody needs to know they aren't alone.

I recently joined a group for work at home employees or hopefuls. It seems to me that everyone needs this type of group. It includes those people that have been looking for a work at home position and those that already have one, which is enlightening. It helps the potential home worker to realize they aren't alone in their search, it gives them hope that there are jobs out there, and it gives them leads as to what type of jobs are out there and what companies are hiring.

For the seasoned home working professional or the starter home working professional, it gratifies them to know that people look up to them, and feels good for them to know that they can help others.

This group is a place where people can talk about their struggles and challenges, but also shares the joys and accomplishments that each person has attained or are trying to reach. The group is called Work at Home and is a great place to get advice, hope, conversation and moral support. Hope to see you there!

Look up with MySky!!

My sky, made by mead, is a new gadget that educates the user about the constellations and space in general. The medium sized, gun shaped astronomy tool is actually a telescope with a pretty good-sized LCD screen. It features instructional videos, sky maps, video tours, and a trigger that will illuminate your understanding of the universe. This gives new meaning to the phrase, “shoot for the stars.” It really is cool!

The main purpose of this gadget is to identify whatever it is in space that you are looking at. To use it, you simply point the gun toward whatever you want to know about and it will tell you the name of the planet, constellation, or galaxy in question. It can record what you shoot and you can even download updated information and tours from the internet. Man, I wish these were out when I was a kid. (Sigh) Well, I am definitely getting one for my kids. Which means that when its freezing outside at Christmas we’ll all be standing on my porch hoping to catch some awesome sights!

They aren’t available yet, but you can pre-order them now at astronomical binoculars If nothing else, you should definitely check it out. This would be the coolest tool for unschooled or homeschooled children.
