My response to you video was too long for Youtube so I posted it here!

I must say that you are young but you are on the right path. I could take offense to the video in the respect that you act like seeking out contest and giveaways is a bad thing or that a person that would do that is not somebody that you would want to be around.

Whojit, I made the decision over 20 years ago to stay home and raise my children to do the very thing that you are talking about in the video. That meant living off my husbands income. That meant major sacrifices, we rented a cheap rundown house in the country with a lot of acreage cause that's where I wanted to raise my boys, I live there for 6 years without a telephone because we couldn't afford one. I didn't care though cause the boys,the dogs and I could take long walks in the great outdoors and go skinny dipping in the stock pond, the boys could run around outside in their underwear and superman capes that I made for them. I didn't have to worry about somebody kidnapping them.

To me there are 2 things in the world, there is man made and God made! I get my strength from the God made things like the walks in the outdoors with my children, or just laying down in the field in the middle of the night and looking for shooting stars. Appreciating the way all the things that God created are perfect and in balance.

Then I come back to reality and know that I couldn't enjoy the God made things if I didn't strive for the man made things.

Love doesn't pay the bills.

I won't even go into the things that my children needed and wanted that we couldn't provide because I felt that spending time with them was more important while they were young and impressionable than the material things were.

I got a computer and discovered that I could stay at home and seek out contest and giveaways and have a chance to win some of the things that we wanted and needed. I also work hard at doing surveys so I can give my son that is in college a little money for things like books!

I won't apologize for being a Sweeper or seeking out contest and giveaways.

I'm sure you are familiar with the saying of Judge not lest you be judged.

I really don't see how what I'm doing is any different than what you are doing. You are asking sponsors to give you free stuff so you are able to do what you want to do.

Whojit, I mean no disrespect and look at every relationship as an opportunity to learn something from somebody. Perhaps we can learn from each other! ]]> mcclave http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1766 http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1765 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:01:21 GMT http://chefdruck.blogspot.com/2009/10/yoplait-delights-spa-giveaway.html http://chefdruck.blogspot.com/2009/1...-giveaway.html ]]> carolpie http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1765 http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1764 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:28:15 GMT It's been 3 weeks today since you left us Philip, just wanted to say a special prayer for you today son.

Web hosting plans come outfitted with varied features, tools and functionalities in cheap webhosting to cater for diverse needs and budgets. In this article, we would be discussing the basic features of a web hosting plan and which features and tools are best suited for your website. This will help you determine and ascertain the type of hosting plan that befits your website needs.

Disk Space: Disk space is the amount of space offered by the hosting provider to store all your files. Here it becomes important to determine the exact amount of disk space that your website would require. Different web hosts offer different amounts of disk space for individual hosting plans. It is advisable to have an estimate of your disk space requirements. Try to ascertain as to how much space you would require for storing your email, web files, databases and log files.

Once you get a breakdown of these figures you would be in a better stead to work out the disk quota required for hosting your website. It is important to note here that certain we hosting providers would also include email and/or logs in the quota. This could make your disk storage estimate a tad difficult. Therefore always keep a safe margin in selecting your disk space since your email and log file needs could change as your website grows.

Hosting coupons blog is dedicated to providing regularly updated web hosting coupons, offers, deals, webhost discounts, hosting rebates and exclusive promotions from the phplinks web hosting companies - godaddy quick shopping cart, godaddy merchant accounts and godaddy fax thru email services


Email accounts are a common and essential feature offered with hosting plans. While with some hosts, you may wield control over mail settings, putting restrictions on mail activities (for example the number of accounts or maximum size of mail boxes) on the server side, other web hosts would do the entire set up for your account. There are essentially 4 types of email accounts including POP3, forwarding, aliases and auto responders. How you wish to configure each is of course a matter of preference.

FTP Access

Most paid hosting accounts come equipped with the FTP access feature. These FTP programs allow the users to upload files and to edit and delete the content more quickly and conveniently as compared to the web-based interface. In fact, hosts also offer the option of creating one's own FTP accounts. This is a highly utilizable feature if you wish to share your web space while keeping the user files separate from your own or if you want someone help you on your website. ]]> webhost http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1760 http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1759 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:57:28 GMT *I have been Dorian-Graying here lately, which is definitely “my bad” and is time for me to make some changes in new directions in order to stop this trend of getting into disputes other than relieving them.

I have been Dorian-Graying here lately, which is definitely “my bad” and is time for me to make some changes in new directions in order to stop this trend of getting into disputes other than relieving them. I have always wanted to be a positive force, and am angry at myself for “stepping off the throne of my dignity” and acting otherwise.

That’s when I know it’s time for me “to go” or at least to radically change my habits.

The thing about Bipolarness (not as an excuse, but as an explanation) is that you are very good at getting deep INTO something, but not so good at maybe CONTINUING to keep perspective, and when perspective is lost, then we are lost and can't help anyone else.

I have been priding myself in helping others with “perspective” and insight by “leaving my body” and helping do readings for this wonderful OLS family. I have enjoyed it immensely, but as a result realize I have been “out of body” too much, and my body has been informing me that I need to get back “in body” for a while and take care of many things sorely being ignored. (Then I come back on these boards like I think I’m sent personally from the Archangel Gabriel to let all you folks know what the “truth” is, lol).

When my mother abused me as a child, I vowed if I started doing the same to my kids, I would not let it continue. I had to “free” them from me and my abuse. I have loved many of you here, but realize I have to “free” OLS from my lack of perspective now and evident “abuse.” You guys don’t need me in this role, and because when you’re bipolar it’s easier to be “all the way in” or “all the way out” -- the choices might seem extreme, but in some ways expedient or necessary.

Still, I can’t promise I will ever stop pontificating here and there in these forums. Thinking you’re a really clever knower of things is a hard habit to break, lol, especially when so many nice people are kind enough to NOT to burst your balloon and tell you it’s otherwise. At any rate, I hope I can be leaving behind at least a smile.

Peace, folks! ]]> toaD http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1759 http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1758 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:49:43 GMT *I recently have been blessed with the ability to watch (and relive) the High Chaparral series in its entirety.

I recently have been blessed with the ability to watch (and relive) the High Chaparral series in its entirety. It’s a special blessing because my dad passed on right before I entered high school, and my mom and I spent my high school years looking forward to this series every week. It brought us especially together at a hard time.

The title of this blog entry is also a title of an episode from that series where the lead character John Cannon (played by Leif Erickson) makes a great quote I think is well worth repeating to all of us who hope for better financial times. Sometimes we cannot HELP but dream of an inheritance, big “win” or windfall, the lottery or that some other hidden “Santa Clause” will suddenly pop out of the bushes and redeem us from “not having enough money” ever again. I’ll bet NO dream on earth has been had by more people than this one.

In this episode, there is a rumor of “gold” on John’s land. Several of them ride out to investigate the area.

As their Mexican foreman explains, “Well, this is it, Senor Cannon. Long before you bought La Rancharia from Senor Rivera, he found this float, but it turned out to be a Glory Hole. It pinched out soon after they dug down.”

“Tomorrow, you go into Tucson, get some black blasting powder, and blow this mine to REAL glory,” John orders.

His brother, Buck, protests. “John? You don’t got any respect for sudden riches? Gold is where you find it.”

“Gold is where you leave it, Buck. Gold has a way of fouling the land.

“I love this land,” John continues. “I look at it, I dream about it. Someday this will be an empire, a place where a man can sink his roots and raise his family. WHY? Because we BUILT it, not because we FOUND it in some hole in the ground.”

“Gold BUYS things, Big John.”

“All it buys is corruption, Buck. It brings out the worst, fiddle-footed gamblers, doxies, thieves and bandits. ALL of the people who want something for nothing.”

:twocents:



(By the way, I highly recommend this western series. Many westerns seem to run over and over again with the same plots, but all 98 episodes were innovative and unpredictable, dealt with the issues of all people (Apaches, Whites and Mexicans) learning to live peacefully in a big land together and filmed in beautiful canyons and mesas. A true joy to watch for every reason, every season, and for every member of the family). ]]> toaD http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1758 http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/blog.php?b=1757 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:03:30 GMT I broke down today and become a Facebook member.
