Amazing Web-Site

I was looking into replacing window treatments for my home when I ran across http://www.Guaranteedblinds.com.

I had been thinking about going to a local store here in town, but there is not much of a selection. I live about 1 1/2 hours from a major city and I don't really feel like driving that far not having a guarantee that a store there will have some thing I like.

http://www.Guaranteedblinds.com has a HUGE selection to choose from. Their on-line store is real simple to use. They have features that show you how to measure your own windows, show you how to install all their products, and also have a really nice layout of Item Details.

What I liked the most is you can pick colors, pick measurements, pick mountings, and even choose what side you would like the draw string to hang from. VERY NICE!

The Item Detail Screen, is easy to navigate. It has so many options offered. The prices are a bonus also. Compared to Home Stores out in town, I can't complain.

If you are looking to replace or add window treatments to your home, http://www.Guaranteedblinds.com is a place I would definately suggest you look in to.

If anything look at all the diverse products they have. I didn't even know people could get window treatments like the ones they have.
Enjoy!!!

Foster Care

So ya I do on-line Surveys... a week ago I got a $5.00 check in the mail and then this week I got another $5.00 check from the same Survey place. Then I got altogether $12.00 deposited to my PayPal account from another survey place. I also got paid from a blog site $10.00 for writing an ad. I'm kind've a happy camper. I'm a member to 84 surveysites and 2 paid me. Not alot of money but hey, it helps. I'm saving my money to do something special for my Foster Children. I want to give thier rooms a beautiful make-over. These kids have been through alot and they deserve all they can enjoy. I know I'm suppose to hope it works out for them and thier families but if it doesn't my husband and I are already planning on adopting. I wish more people became Foster Parents. I know in our area there are over 600 children in a Foster Center and only 32 Foster Homes available. The other heartbreaking thing is that the Center really doesn't like to have kids 6yrs and younger in the Center so they try to get them homes quickly, which leaves the older kids in that sad place. I would encourage all of you to become Foster Parents. These kids really need a home. All we had to do was fill out paperwork, have a home inspection 3 times, and attend a 6 week class called PS-MAPP. Its a really good class. We went 6 weeks 1 night a week for 3 hrs. We learned alot. If anyone is interested contact your local DES Office and they can point ya in the right direction. A really good website for Foster Parents and Children is www.Fosterclub.com Please take a visit there. Also I'm accepting donations. Any little bit will be nice even if its a quarter. All profits will be going to the Children Foster Care Center here in my town, to liven that place up. If you prefer not to donate maybe donate to a Center in your Town, the kids really need it. Thank You.

Sadness in my Heart

Today I'm full of sadness in my heart. Maybe its the day. Its windy and rainy here. Crocodile Hunter has passed on, I've been watching Home Makeover: Extreme Edition All day, so I'm crying my eyes out. Writing the story I did about my Grandmother dying from Cancer has gotten to me. I'm watching my baby sleep and he looks so peaceful and soft, so beautiful. Yesterday I got into a arguement with my Mother over the stupidiest thing... I'm a Foster Parent and seeing these children and knowing their stories rips my heart apart. Last night on MSNBC I watched a report on parents who hurt thier children for attention. I have so much to be happy about, but today I can't find myself to be Happy.

Witnessing Death (Part 1)

Dedicated to my Grandmother Carmelita Woodard. 1933-2006
This life story began a little over a year ago. My Grandmother would call me and my Mom every week. One week she called and said she couldn't talk long because she had a sore throat. The next few weeks she called and her throat was still sore. I didn't think this was right so I told her to go to the Doctor, it sounded like she had Throat Cancer. Of course she told me not to say that, but she smoked like 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day.
Well she went to the doctor and it was indeed Throat Cancer. It was on her vocalcords.They gave her the typical treatments for it and everything was fine they had caught it early. But something else was wrong, Her doctor was noticing that Grandma was yellow in color. And after doing blood test they gave her, They decided to give her a full body scan. After doing this they noticed a big tumor in her abdomin. Further investigstion lead it to the Liver. After a Biopsy my Grandmother was diognosed with Liver Cancer. We asked if it was the Throat Cancer that had spread, and to my amazement the Throat Cancer had nothing to do with it. She had had 2 Cancers at the same time.

Please Look Over This, IT COULD SAVE You or a Loved Ones Life.

Early stages of cancer can be asymptomatic and may go undetected for months or even years. When symptoms do develop, they are most pronounced as pain.

Pain associated with cancer is a result of several possibilities: invasion or destruction of normal tissue with cancer cells; stretching of internal tissue by tumor growth; pressure of tumor on an organ; blockage of a vital passageway by the tumor; and infection caused by cancer.

Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, loss of weight, fever of unknown origin, limb weakness, sensory loss, or an absence of tendon reflexes in the limb.

Liver cancer, both primary and metastatic, often exhibits symptoms of general malaise as well as pain and tenderness. The discomfort is usually of a moderate degree and most often in the upper or upper right part of the abdomen. In more advanced cases, symptoms of jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes, may also appear.

After the Surgeon went in to do a bio, He came back with some pretty bad news. She a had a rare Liver Cancer caused by Cirrhosis and Hepatitia C.

Hepatitis C is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person.

Nearly 4 million Americans have been exposed to hepatitis C by blood-to-blood contact and over 2.7 million have ongoing chronic infection. The progression of hepatitis C is typically silent until it is late in the course of disease. When symptoms are present, often liver cirrhosis (scarring) has been occured. The progression to liver cirrhosis only occurs in 20 percent of those with hepatitis C and liver failure develops in a about 5 percent.

From the time of acquisition of the virus it can take up to 50 years to develop cirrhosis. Most people with hepatitis C are unaware that they have it.

What are the Symptoms of Hepatitis C?

There are many signs and symptoms of Hepatitis C. However, 80% of persons with Hepatitis C have no signs or symptoms. Some of the symptoms are: jaundice, fatigue, dark urine, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and nausea.

Now becuase of Grandmas age(73), She was not a candidate for Transplant. They gave here 1 option...Cryosurgery.

Cryosurgery is a new technique that can destroy tumors in a variety of sites (brain, breast, kidney, prostate, liver). Cryosurgery is the destruction of abnormal tissue using sub-zero temperatures. The tumor is not removed and the destroyed cancer is left to be reabsorbed by the body. Initial results in properly selected patients with unresectable liver tumors are equivalent to those of resection.

Cryosurgery involves the placement of a stainless steel probe into the center of the tumor. Liquid nitrogen is circulated through the end of this device.

The tumor and a half inch margin of normal liver are frozen to -190°C for 15 minutes, which is lethal to all tissues. The area is thawed for 10 minutes and then re-frozen to -190°C for another 15 minutes. After the tumor has thawed, the probe is removed, bleeding is controlled, and the procedure is complete. The patient will spend the first post-operative night in the intensive care unit and typically is discharged in 3 - 5 days.

Unfortunately this didn't help.

They gave Grandma 6 months to live if that.

My Mom and I live in Arizona and Grandma was in Washington. I flew my Mom to Washington to be with her Mother. She was there about 6 weeks calling me several times a day. Grandma was getting worse with every phone call. I felt reallt bad for my Mom, she was there all alone and about to lose her Mother.

Now some people think there is no God but on one particular day there was one watching over me.

My Mother-In-Law (also from Washington) Had been down here in Arizona visiting. I was taking her to the airport to return home. As we were standing in the Check-In line my cell phone rang, it was my brother. He told me Grandma was really bad and I need to get to Washington to see her before she passed. I told him I couldn't, I had no babysitter, My husband was working weird hours and at that very moment I was at the airport so my Mother-In-Law could catch her flight home. Of course I'm crying cause I feel so bad.

My Mother-In-Law looks at me and tells me to get on a plane she will stay, and watch the kids.We tried to call my Husband but the phone was busy. I didn't just want to hop on a flight. But something inside told me to do it. And my Mother-in-Law, God bless her, was very persistant. She told me everything would be fine and she would go back to my house and tell my Husband what was going on.

This is in January 2006, Washington State is COLD. I'm in Arizona I have shorts, a tank top, and sandles on. My Brother told me to get the plane ticket and he would get me clothes when I got there. So I did. Now I know you guys won't believe this but all the flights we're booked. A man that had been standing there heard my whole story and my phone conversation, and the conversation with my Mother-In-Law. He went up to the front desk and told the lady working there he would give up his seat to me ONLY. Other people were on Stand-by, but he refused to give up his seat unless it was to me. Also the man basically gave me his ticket. He paid for me to go. He told them to change the ticket name. And yes by now I'm really crying, because all these people were pulling together to help me out. The thing that really sadens me is that the man was on his way home after going to see his Mom who had just passed from Cancer. This is no lie. The day was really weird. I don't know his whole name but his first name is John, and if he ever reads this I want to say I Thank You and that you have changed my life. Your Kindness is more than anybody could ever ask for. I was a complete stranger and you held your hand out as if I were family. I will always remember you. Remember your face.

So I'm a member to 74 Survey Companies I get surveys daily and answer them and yes I'm suppose to get paid, Skeptical yes...until yesterday I received my first check in the mail from a survey I completed on the 21st, Aug.

I also got two $2.00 deposits to my PayPal from completing surveys, Hopefully I will qualify for more surveys and maybe make that couple of hundred dollars a month or week lol.

Funny Car Ad My Husband Wrote to Sell His Hooptie Mobile.

The Following is a Ad my Husband Wrote to sell his ugly hooptie car. I thought it was so funny I had tears.

I have a 1980 Celica Convertible for sale (1 of 480 made, called the "Sundancer" or something) for $550. As soon as I find the title it'll be in the Huachuca Scout and/or Post Lemon Lot. Outside of the team (and friends), it's going to the first $650. If you know someone who wants a cheap commuter… have them email me!

I would just give it away but I've dumped $1200 into it over the last year.

CONS:

* DEFINITELY NOT A LOOKER!!! WON'T WIN ANY CAR SHOWS WITH THIS ONE…
* Interior could use some love (JC Whitney has "racing seats" for under $80 delivered). The driver's seat is UGLY but works fine.
* Color: CrapStain Brown with several dings on the sides. Original Turd Brown paint!
* Needs a new Top ($400+) if you want it fully waterproof. The last few years I've kept it closed with Duct Tape :D Otherwise operational.
* Might need new rear brakes, I replaced the front and master cylinder this year. Stops fine but I'm just letting you know.
* Every other month or 3, needs a fluid or two replaced. (sometimes oil, sometimes brake fluid….. a $4 issue ). Ever since I added Prolong treatment, it hasn't needed any oil for the last year. I've added brake fluid two or three times over the last year… probably needs new rear brakes)

PROS:

* New Tires
* New Battery
* New Front brakes and Master Cylinder this year.
* 3 year old clutch. (it's a stick, obviously)
* Fun to commute with (if you don't care what the Jones's think)
* Commuted with it for 3 years, my only problem was a faulty new battery. For a few days, I solo push started it!
* Comes with car cover and all the weird shiit in the trunk that came with it when I bought it (bowling ball anyone?)
* CHEAP to insure… I think I pay $205 a year to insure it via Progressive.
* I'll pay for your first year's license tag/ registration! A whopping $20 or something J
* I'll pay for the title transfer when we go to the DMV!!

She needs work if you're a single guy and still trying to attract a mate….and that's why she's for sale at $550. For us married folk, it's a cheap convertible commuter

Blogs That Pay (TIPS)

Once you have your blog account created and set up, the next part is figuring out what to blog about. The type of content you have on your blog determines your audience as well as how many people will visit it. Make sure to be creative and add lots of tips, news, events. If you have a business blog and are trying to promote a product then include customer testimonials and useful information. The most important thing to remember is make sure to have a theme that focuses on a specific topic. Having a theme is very helpful if you are selling a product or promoting a website because it allows the reader to grab the most important information in the shortest possible space. Finally, the appearance of the blog should be creative and based on the theme.

Paid to Read Email (Tips)

[b]The paid to read (PTR) email actually does take reading to get a hang of the programs and where the ads are placed. Each program is set up slightly different. Some use top and bottom ad spots. Ignore these, don't click those links as they aren't paid links usually, test and see for yourself. Mostly you want to look in the middle of the email ad. Skimming emails becomes a habit with webmasters that run the same ads day after day.
