Just My Luck

Well, 2010 is starting to resemble 2009. I started these blogs as a release through my writing. Just a way to put thoughts down somewhere , a way to release the stress of the times. Then I learned about adsense ads and added them to my blogs. I thought "why not make a cent or two while posting my thoughts". Pretty soon I have several blogs and am putting them on different type search sites or classified ads to get them noticed. Then I see the earnings from adsense, a penny or two here and there. Well, I started this adsense, blogs, and internet exploring in august of 2009 and just started making a dollar every now and then. Then I found a way to advertise on facebook and twitter. My earning went up a little more, like 2.00 or 3.00, except for two days where it topped out at 5.00 and 8.00. Man was i excited! And over $8.00 bucks, what does that tell you about my situation! LOL Anyway, just got notice, adsense blocked my account. They think I am clicking my own stuff , calling it "invalid clicks". It takes me seven months to get up to an average of maybe $2 a day and I am cheating? I have appealed and I hope they listen as they are one of the few companies that actually pay something. I dont cheat. I have worked hard to learn what little I have learned and am still trying to learn more. We'll see what happens...

Do We Really...

Do we really have so little going on in our own lives that we can spend so much time minding other people business? With the way our country is right now, between the higher unemployment rates, higher food and gas prices, social security and medicare benefits being lowered , and all the illegals coming in and getting hired for lower wages, do we need to worry about the tiger woods? Do we need to worry about the personal lives of the rich and famous. All that is doing is boosting their popularity to the point of being on top! Which is what they want! Most of the entertainment and other celeberties are using this to their advantage. They are getting paid astronomical salaries and then you read that they have set up a fund for somewhere in another country. What about our country? Why does everyone want to give millions and billions of dollars to other countries when ours is struggling? This includes our government system who keeps sending funds everywhere but here. Our people need jobs, housing, medical help, and they can not get it. Whats worse is the illegals can. They somehow end up with everything they need. Why is this? Who keeps allowing this? Americans , true citizens , can not get approved for the state health aid, yet I have seen illegals with state insurance cards! Non citizens and those on green cards(if they even bother to get one) are getting our education funds, social security, state insurances for their families, housing aid, and it goes on and on. I have seen illegals get payroll checks cashed at banks with no ID and yet I have had to show my ID at the same bank , the same day, right after they did not. Why? This country need to start taking a stand for our rights as AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!  It is getting out of control. The big factories need to concentrate on how to stay in our country to give our people the jobs! Not Japan, China(who keeps sending products our way with contaminates for our children to play with and eat), India, etc...  Keep the jobs here. Take care of us first, then maybe we can help the others. Spread the jobs, money , and funds to our citizens. This is what the country needs to focus on! Not the who cheated who, not the private lives of the celebrity world. You would not want your private life all over the media. Give it a rest America! Lets get back on track and focus on our country's need as a whole. Let's help America and then we can help others........

money, is there ever enough?

Do we ever have enough money? I'm starting to think not. It seems that those who have always want more or are complaining that what they have is not enough. How can someone who has a five or more digit balance in their banks say they are broke when talking to someone who is living paycheck to paycheck and still not making ends meet. Whats worse is when , after telling you they are broke, they load up in their prevost rv with the kids and go on vacation to some resort that you can only dream about. How many people out there know what I'm talking about? I'm fairly sure that most of you are like me and just trying to survive in this economy. I don't begrudge those that have lots of money their status in our world. But they don't have to tell me they are broke until they try my shoes for awhile. Like most households , we are jobless at this point and "robbing peter to pay paul" is getting harder to do. But there is a silver lining for all of us somewhere out there in the world. All we need to do is hold on for a little while longer and search til we find it. For some, that could be working for yourself, or going back to school ,or whatever you think is your path that you need to take. Maybe you have some college under your belt, but like me,didn't finish what you started. Maybe a home base biz on the net is more our speed. For me, I will check into all these options. How about you?
