The Day After Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year! We had some friend over and had some frustration in hooking up our new DVD player to watch "Pirates of the Carribean at World's End." Still haven't seen the movie, spent the whole time talking! We got a special Edition DVD that has deleted scenes, bloopers and a second Disc. Now when our friends leave today, I will have to bring the DVD Player up to our bedroom and set it up all over again. Should be able to do it! I am slightly technically challenged!

I got a great little digital camers from Kodak. It takes photos as well as video's. Only thing is, they didn't provide me with a media card! Is that stupid or what? So still using the old Canon digital I caputured whole holiday and now I can make a slide show out of it. I loaded up some tunes on my husbands MP3 player that he bought months ago and could figure out! All we had to do was drop and drag the song to the device, it was so easy it made me laugh how long we waited before adding any music for it.It is back to work for him today at the boatyard, and me, I have the State of Hawaii Unemployment office stating they need to see me today at 10 am with paystubs because there are none on their records. They don't have my employer listed right!

Tomorrow I will start work at WCCHC as a call in filling in for the receptionist that is out for surgery. WCCHC is one of the countries best publicly owned non profit heatlh center in the US! Maybe you will learn a few words in Hawaiian at the site. The view there is stunning, we sit on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean from here to Japan.

Still have New Years to get through! Fireworks are really big here and they set them off right in the neighborhood. Lat year one of my kitties got asthma from all the smoke! I gotta give my dogs "doggie downers" to keep them from getting too hyped up especially, my firstborn, Bob! Here is a link to pet care, cats and dogs.

Gotta go! Gotta put in some resumes online. Part of unemployment here is looking for work at least 3 places every week.

Go to Bizpreneur and join up with an awesome online forum. We are all there to market our products and make new contacts and friends. I think this is the best way to find prospects for my Send Out Cards business and WMS. Check out the deals at Ebay, too! We all know how the day after Christmas is a big shopping day with all the stores marking everything down to the bottom line.Above is a photo of the tri colored Gold Ring my husband got me for XMAS, it is a turtle, Honu and my amakua, guardian angel. Learn more about amakua and Hawaiian traditions and legends!

Make your day a good one!

Christmas is here!

Aloha and Christmas is coming in sunny and cool at night here in the Islands. I still have to decorate our tree, only the lights are up so far. Here is a pic of me and my hubby in front of the tree so now you all know how we look. (don't hold it against us!)

I have had a Safelist for years, and suddenly one day all my admins went out at once, I mean they were reallly outdated! I lost a lot of members on that one. 2007 was not a good year for me and family problems, job changes and hours, kept me offline, but I am back now and working my home businesses. I just went into my list and cleaned it up, sent out an admin to everyone, telling them to enable their accounts for their free pro upgrades. Free Pro sends once a day, paid pro gets a second daily autosend of their saved ad. It is called Dreamslist, as we all have our dreams and hopes, yeah? Join and activate your account and I will give you a free pro upgrade.

But even better than Safelists these days are the online forums. There are just so many of them! It is a great place to meet people, network and see how you can help each other out. Everyone probably already has a MySpace, but do you know about Bizpreneur or Ojeez? Ryze has been around for awhile and was probably one of the first such forums.

Sunday night and I can't think of a single program I want to watch! Whatever happened to Law and Order the original? Oh, yeah, Cold Case and Shark, I think I already missed Cold Case! My favorite Law and Order Criminal Intent is now on USA network and is just great. I am a big fan of Vincent Di'Nofrio, who played the bug in Men In Black. Remember?

I just wanted to check in for a quick post, gotta go decorate that tree, and hopefully, program my husband MP3 player, as a surprise for him for Christmas. After the Holidays are all over and we are all back to business go create a guest account for your self at Send Out Cards. This is a win/win and also you might want to look into getting your part of the Fortune 500 companies money by advertising for them. Neither business is MLM and if you want to work from home, you can really cash in on either one of these.

Have a great Holiday and spend it with the ones you love, four legged or two!

Later,

Johnny Depp's Newest Movie!

Hey! Have you heard about Sweenry Todd? Johnny Depp is the star and this promises to be an amazing display of his talent. It opened today!

I lived in London in 1973 to 1974 and I heard about Sweeney Todd, especially as I worked at a hairdresser. I was the sandwich and tea girl, and waited on many famous rock stars there, Mick Fleetwood, who was so tall with his platform shoes on I just kept looking up, up, up, lol! He was a gentleman and a good tipper. Also Rod Stewart. I am trying to remember the name of the hair dresser's shop, it may have been Sweeney Todd's!

I have been a Depp fan since 21 Jump Street. That was a T.V. series where he played a copy under cover as a high school student. He sure doesn't seem to age much! He does so well in the "period" pieces, my favorite "From Hell." The story of Jack the Ripper and Johnny played the lead detective who was also an opium addict. He portrayed this charactor so well, that his personal demons (addiction) didn't take away from his exceptional detective abilities. Very three dimensional, like real people are, and he was the charactor. I wasn't watching Johnny Depp, I was watching his charactor. I have watched this movie time and time again. This movies comes as close to the truth as we will ever get to the mystery of Jack the Ripper, with the exception of the ending where Kate lives, in reality the Ripper got her. He looks so handsome in those old English Clothes!

Of course Pirates of the Caribean was just great. What talent! He can make any character so believalbe. The Search for the Black Pearl, the second movie was just as much fun. I haven't seen the last movie, yet, but I will get the DVD.

Anytime I see the name Johnny Depp I see the movie. Donnie Brasco, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Rear Window (also written by my favorite author, Stephen King,) I can't remember the name of the movie, it may have been Cocaine, where Depp played a true life role of one of California's big time drug smugglers, set in the 70's. How about the 9th Gate? That was intense!

I know I must be missing some movies, remind me! When I saw the commercial for Sweeney Todd I knew the next movie my husband and I were going to! He too, is a Johnny Depp fan. Especially, the period of time in England the movie is set in, I know the sets will be the bomb and of course, Johnny always goes way beyond my expectations.

Let me know what you think!

Happy Holidays!

Aloha!



Happy Holidays to everybody!



Still on going to the online forums...I have been offline for quite a while, my Mom and Dad both passed away this year, Mom in January and Dad in October. It has been a very difficult time. My brother and I are in the process of selling the home, which Dad threw into a reverse mortgage, so the loan is now due and payable and we cannot afford to keep the home in the family. Our home here in Hawaii is our family home now.



Christmas in Hawaii. 80 degrees cool, sunny and Holiday lights up everywhere. The first year we lived here, 1995, was a record breaking heat wave year with Holiday temps up into the 90's! I swear I was going to kill my husband for bringing me here. After 12 years I have acclimated and I think my blood thinned out, so I can actually tell the changing of the Seasons. Did you know the full moon will be on Christmas Eve? Right on! The tree is downstairs soaking in water and smells just wonderful.



My "real" job laid me off last week Thursday. No severance pay, nothing. Downsizing I was told. Well, I choose to look at this in a positive light. I can now spend some time building my online business at Send Out Cards. It is not too late to still mail out you Holiday Greetings! With Send Out Cards mailing out multiple times daily to make sure your cards get there on time.



For all of you animal lovers, like me, I just sent away for a free sample of cat food and ran across a great link about cats and their behavior. As you know I have rescued 6 of them as well as 3 dogs, so we have a full house. I will take all the free samples I can get! Click here for information on your cat and behaviors, I have learned alot about them just by having six of them! Scampers is my alpha female and she really doesn't want anything to do with the rest of the pride. She thinks she is people, is 10 years old now, and still "scampering" about. Rusty, my alpha male, brought up all the younger kitties as we rescued them, "nursing" them from his front leg! Now my two younger males, Bo and Mikki, even though all my animals are spayed or neutered have a nasty little habit of pissing on the walls, marking their turf, or on any rug I have down in the home. Anybody can shed some light on that one for me? Email to: lsorens@gmail.com with "Cat Behavior" in the subject box so I don't delete you!

What are your favorite shows on T.V.? Mine is Law and Order, especially Criminal Intent, more specifically, Vincent Di'Nofrio's character. It moved to USA Network new and we record it so we don't miss it every week. Vincent Di'Nofrio and Katherine Erbe's charactors are just great! Chris Noth has recently joined the cast also, he has been in Law and Order since it's inception and is really a good actor as well. Can anybody tell me what happened to the original Law and Order? I know Sam Waterson is now D.A. but I can't seem to find the show anywhere.

Got any last minute shopping to do? Or anytime you need to shop, we all know about e-bay. I recently got involved in it, working as an affiliate. It is a Fortune 500 company now, did you know that? Go here to shop, and go here to find out how you can profit. This business has a low start up cost and is not MLM, no phone calls, no selling, just advertise for these Fortune 500 companies and their staff does all the calling and selling. They are good, believe me, I got in! After almost 8 years now online, I am not an easy sell, either. Plus, I can advertise my Send Out Cards business on my site, which the company sets up for me.

Still at the online forums meeting new contacts and networking. I think the Internet has changed so much in the last 8 years. I remember when you could actually email people and the email would get to them. The spam filters are so high now that it is near impossible to market that way, although I still use Group Mail. It is effective and quick. You can even get a free version, but you have to limit your groups to 100 contacts at a time.

My online handle is Alohalady! I have "branded" myself which also helps you when you are trying to earn from home and get out of the "rat race!" Every morning I watch the local news and traffic and Thank God I am not in it anymore.

Check some of my earlier posts for links to the online forums or email to lsorens@gmail.com with "Online Forums" in the subject box. I can then "whitelist" you and you won't get deleted. I am merciless with that delete key!

I look forward to any replies to this post
