Bravery comes in many forms

[ 1 Comment ] Posted on 11.08.08 under websites

Sometimes it is the small things you do that make a difference in your life! One of the changes that I have introduced since becoming an Independent Herbalife Distributor is to carry advertising on my car! I would never have thought of doing this before, but having been to an HOM (Herbalife Opportunity Meeting) and seeing so many cars with advertising on got me thinking about how to make it happen.

I saw a few ads on the internet about car advertising but found one of the most reasonably priced to be at Vistaprint. I ordered the magnetic adverts (which stick to a car but are not permanent) and then put them on my car. I was so nervous! People at work had a bit of fun at my expense, and one even took an advert off and replaced it upsidedown (thanks mate).

To a Soldier facing an enemy it is a normal part of life to show courage of the highest order. For a quiet man like me it takes courage to face the mocking of friends and colleagues. Bravery comes in many forms. Still, I have had the last laugh because three people at work have signed up for products after seeing the advert and asking what it’s all about. 10bob

Credit Crunch got you Jumpy?

[ No Comments ] Posted on 10.13.08 under websites

Jumpy, no way!

It is amazing just how busy life has become for me since starting as an independent Herbalife distributor. Just by using simple (cheap or free) advertising I now get 2 or 3 texts a day asking about the weight loss program (www.slimthin.org/sample). Also I’m getting my first repeat orders from my earliest customers. Suddenly life is even busier than before!

I had thought that the Credit Crunch would have made the business situation very difficult, but that just isn’t the case. It seems that people are spending more on themselves (rather that going out for a meal, for example) and for me that’s just great!

The other bonus of the Credit Crunch is that people want to make some extra cash part-time from home, and of course this business opportunity is just the job for that (www.set4life.org). Its amazing just how much difference it can make to your life earning an extra £250 or so per month with just a few part-time hours per week.

Would that change your life? 10bob

 

 

Still more phish in the sea

[ No Comments ] Posted on 10.04.08 under comment, welcome to my world

Hey, guess what? Ther are just so many phish emails going around at the moment. Here’s a few more for you to have a laugh at:

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ!

I am Mrs Esther John; Origin of Russia, I am married to Late Dr Nikolaevich John a businessman in cape verde also the owner of APPRAISAL OF BIG ENTERPRISES http://@@@@@@@@@@@@

Recently, following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next eight months due to my cancer problem. he told me that in the next 2 months there is going to be a spread of this cancer to my bones and I will not live again, Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christian, Individual and Organization whom I know may need it and will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, according to the desire of my late husband before his death.

While my late husband was alive he kept the sum of (US$1.000.000.00) One Million United States Dollar) in a General Trust Account with a prime finance bank in cape verde
Presently, this money is still with the finance bank. I want this fund to be used in liberation work Activities like, help to Pastors families, Orphanages, less privileged in the society and Christian schools, poor people in your amidst and up keeping of the Churches and for propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that “Blessed is the hand that giveth”. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and I want my husband’s efforts to be used help humanity. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that “the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace”. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presences of my husband’s relatives are around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development because they are muslims. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the finance bank in praia. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another for this same purpose, Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply

Remain blessed in the Lord; http://@@@@@@@@@@@@ Yours in Christ,
 
Mrs Esther John.

Do you suffer from **** comments :-) ?

[ No Comments ] Posted on 09.23.08 under websites

Ever since this blog started getting Google 1st page rankings I’ve been getting some really crazy messages that are complete gibberish! They come regular as clockwork, especially from google-group sites, advertising ‘medical products’ and they never get published, yet they keep coming. I contact abuse@google.com every time but they do not seem to have the power to regulate their own network. How lame is that! Still, I take it as read that every blog must have this sort of thing happen to it. So, if you have any good ideas for stopping this sort of rubbish arriving then please let me know! 10bob

 

Weight loss at Casa Bob

[ No Comments ] Posted on 09.12.08 under websites

Wow - what a roller coaster ride. I liked the weight loss program I did at slimthin.org so much that I decided to do it as a part time job for myself using the information from the people at set4life.org . Talk about a culture shock! From a boring shift working job working all hours, I’m now talking to people all over the country about how much weight I’ve lost and how they could do the same!. It’s so exciting - and I’ve got to meet a lot of the people who live locally when I deliver their orders. I had never realised just how many people have concerns about their weight. I use Internet adverts, and some in local shops in the area, and one local paper - FridayAds (friday-ad.co.uk - I have no links with these advertisers but the response to my ad in there was amazing). I get at least 2 texts a day asking for more information. Then there’s all the follow up - and processing orders - and organising a business. I’ve just had to start a business account at my bank - let the inland revenue know that I’ve just started a part time business - and get an acountant. There’s so much happening that is new that at times I think my poor head can’t take any more in. And that’s on top of the shift work job! It’s like a whole new world I’ve never seen before has suddenly opened in front of my eyes. You get to help people and make money at the same time. Fantastic. 10bob

Shock therapy?

[ No Comments ] Posted on 08.09.08 under other websites, websites, welcome to my world

I thought I was ok with my weight. Yes, maybe the years have not been kind and the fleeting appearance of love handles didn’t cause me to worry too much, but generally I felt healthy and fit. Every now and then I would get back into jogging as and when my shift work would allow. Still the weight has crept up on me and until recently I was 14 stone 6 lbs. As I’m 6 ft 1 inches tall it didn’t really show, but I still did notice the difference. To cut a long story short I decided to try to lose some weight. I spent more time jogging, even after a long shift, and skipped the odd meal to try and cut down on food intake. That didn’t seem to work either. I tried looking on the web, but there are so many sites that I just gave up.

However, this story has a happy ending because a friend pointed me to a website he used called slimthin. I did the same as him and ordered the sample pack. In fact, I liked it so much that I took up the system they use, and I’m now only 13 stone 2 lbs after 5 weeks - so I’ve lost over a stone in 5 weeks and feel great. This site isn’t free , as the sample pack is £6.95 and the course meals cost about £10 a week, so I can’t list this as a free resource - but I’m well impressed by the weight I’ve lost, and how good I feel. I’m in shock! 10bob

 

 

Website - Ok, it’s official that I’m daft

[ 3 Comments ] Posted on 07.27.08 under other websites, welcome to my world

There is a saying - sometimes you cannot see the wood for the trees. Well, that one just hit home! Let me tell you why.

I joined a lottery syndicate on the internet, called eLottery, because I keep forgetting to get a ticket each week with the shifts I do, but still want to play. You also get to play for FREE (you know I like internet freebies) if five other people join up after you.

They give you a home page all of your own so that people you know can play a free game to win a grand (1,000 GBP). I’ve looked on the site high and low to find the unique url of this webpage so I can let people play this free game , but could not see it anywhere!

Turns out it’s on a card they post to you the moment you join!

So, if you want to have a go for free then click here. I had it in my pocket all the time! 10bob

 

Still married, but laughing about facebook . . .

[ No Comments ] Posted on 07.16.08 under welcome to my world

Ah the wonders of my job! Time has passed so quickly in my first month as a supervisor. The job is going well too. So it came as a surprise when a bloke I work with, Steve, told me I wasn’t married any more! It surprised me even more when my own brother emailed me saying the same thing! This really is really quite untrue - I’m happily married and my wife is expecting our second child!

Seems my favourite FACEBOOK has me divorced without even asking me!

I read an article saying how much information people can get from social websites. As everyone who sees my info on these sites is a friend, I thought that it was silly to tell them what they already knew! So, I decided to remove all such things from my friends reunited, myspace, and facebook entries, and change the picture to that of a rock - a little joke for Steve as I was going to join his (facebook) rock band. Yes, a sad visual gag!

It seems that removing completely an entry section on facebook is the same as amending it, of course it is - how silly of me!

So, for the record, I am still very married! But I’ve had a laugh about it all. 10bob

 

8/10 Website - Ok, this is cool - Gabor Olah

[ No Comments ] Posted on 06.28.08 under other websites

Ok, as a newbie to the internet I find there is so much to learn! But, if business is your thing then there’s a great site here. The content is free and you can use it to create your own website content. Do you find it hard to write pages for your website? Well, the site author, Gabor Olah, does it for you for free - and as you know, I do like free! This is not a christian site as such, more a business site, but I’ve had great fun reading through all the free stuff that this site has to offer. 10bob
