Blogs, Birds, and Things Learned

  I needed to shop for my Granddaughter's Birthday, So I decided to check on one of my  apps to see how many points  I've accumulated  It's called  Mobile Performance Meter . From their site: ( I know, you're thinking.. ok, so what's the catch? Do you take my personal information and sell it? Do you install something untrustworthy on my phone?   Nope, nothing of the sort.  Here's the deal -- do you remember those Verizon ads, where the guy in glasses is walking around and saying, "can you hear me now?"  Actually, mobile carriers like Verizon and AT&T really do that. They are constantly paying people to go to various locations, and report on call quality, internet quality and so on.  And now, they want to pay YOU to do the same thing!   These companies want to pay people just like you to tell them how well your phone is working. And to make that super easy for you, we made an application, the Mobile Performance Meter, that...

 It's been a long week, Bob and I both home sick all week, trying to nurse each other back to health. (What a sh*t show, lol) Was I to sick to make a couple bucks? No but I was to sick to put any real effort in to it. Lucky for me, I've learned a few things. Like, let your smart phone on PC do the work for you, I make an easy $10.00 every month from Survey Savvy  just for installing their App on my PC and on my smart phone. Each device you install the App on will net you $5.00 per month as long as you keep the app installed. Want to make even more money with  Survey Savvy ? They have surveys available also. So you can easily make a few dollars a month with zero effort or do a few surveys and make even more. I have $7.00 in available surveys to take with them right now which I'll be getting to today now that I'm getting back to the land of the living. That's an easy $17.00 so far this month, provided I qualify for all available surveys.   So, if you li...

I don't know what is going on with the color on here but since I don't type with invisible ink it'd be nice to see my flipping post show up where it can be read. Grrr. 

Wow, I can not believe how long it's been since my last post. A lot has happened over the past couple years. My posting of reviews and giveaways came to a screeching halt when my ex-husband and I split up. I just lost track of everything it seems while going through a divorce, looking for a new place to live, having to go back to work full time, etc...  So, these days I am a happily divorced woman, still have to work full time but I did buy a home and somebody has to pay the bills. So, I work full time & spend five days a week managing a bar/restaurant that I initially started working at about 11 years ago part time.  Now I seem to have some time on my hands due to an injury I received at work. I've been off since May and not sure when I'll be able to go back. This could of all been avoided but since the "new guy" bought the bar we can no longer get help from customers with any of the heavy lifting. So, hauling a dolly up a ramp backwards with 200 lbs....

Welcome to my "Thursday Three" My Thursday Three can be any three things you choose to share. My Thursday three for this week is 3 things that have given me a smile today. My first smile today was watching my parrot Isabella take a bath in her water bowl and act like the crazy chick she is. Notice the wet neck & chest. My 2nd smile today came from this video, it is so cute! This video is of a baby dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies Music Video. My 3rd smile today came from the hubby bringing home a box of donuts. I really don't need any donuts but they sure were good! No picture sorry, didn't think of it in time. What made you smile today?

I recently had the pleasure of trying Tropical Traditions Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. This coconut oil has so many uses it's unbelievable, well until you try it for yourself anyway. Then you'll be a believer too. Now my husband is not a fan of anything coconut and around the same time I received my jar of Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil my husband went to his Dr. to find out his cholesterol and blood pressure were pretty high. We've always cooked with vegetable oil, olive oil, butter, you name it, we've probably tried it (even bacon grease in the fried potatoes). Well after reading some of the health reasons for using TTVCO in the book I received with my jar of TTVCO , I decided to try to be a little sneaky. I've cooked almost everything with the TTVCO and so far he hasn't said a word. I even put it in the cornbread mix that my husband just has to have! That's because even though the TTVCO has a great coconut smell and taste, when you cook wit...
