How I Went From Pin-Up Girl to Geriatric Poster Child in Less Than 48 Hours
Posted by: Nancy Skee
"Whaaaat?" you're saying. "You were a Pin-Up Calendar Girl?!"
Well, okay no, but after I tell you this story you'll understand that the extreme comparison serves to illustrate how quickly people can change their perceptions of you.
So, remember that blog from last week where I was attacked by the Velociraptor and could have died on the laundry room floor? Go back and read it if you didn't, because this is about what happened after. But in short here's the synopsis: Fell off a chair installing a light fixture, it was a bloody mess, 13 stitches, blah, blah, blah.
Apparently my kids read my posts because the next morning I got a text from one of my children.
- I'm buying you an Apple watch so next time you fall you can make calls from your wrist. The watch can also detect falls and irregular heartbeats.
I had three simultaneous thoughts:
- Oooohhh! I just love him!
- This is too hilarious! One slip off a chair and now I'm feeble hahahahaha!
- Dang. I'm gettin' old.
Now here's the thing. Sure I fell off a chair while I was stepping onto a table while holding a florescent light fixture, but that's something I would have done 30 years ago. That's the action of someone who's hale and hardy.
But maybe the kids think my brain synapses are slow because a woman in my age bracket would know by now that tables and chairs could tip over. Or that you should use a ladder instead.... Or maybe they think I'm unsteady and can't maintain my balance....Yeah.....They probably gathered to figure out What To Do With Mom. I can just imagine that conversation. (I'm changing their names to protect their privacy.)
Nikki: Grant, did you read your mom's blog? She fell and had to go to the ER. Annie's coming over so we can talk.
Grant: I'll read it right now. (Read, read, read, read, read.) Ow! That had to hurt!
Doorbell rings.
Annie: Hi, I'm here! Grant, mom fell off a chair and had to get stitches. I think she's getting old and feeble.
Grant: Yeah, I just read that. I think she's losing her balance, too. Hmmm. What should we do with mom?
Annie: Maybe you could put a Granny Pod in your backyard, and she could live at your house.
Grant: Maybe you could put a Granny Pod in your backyard, and she could live at your house.
Grandson: Mommy, if Nana livth in our backyard can we play truckth with her?
Granddaughter: Mom, if Nana gets a Granny Pod, I get one, too. It'll be like my own private apartment! I can have my own private space for once! We'll be next door neighbors!
Grandson: If Thithy geth one, I get one! I want to be neighborth, too!
Other Grandson: Me, doooo!
Third Grandson: Dah!
Nicki: Stop! If anyone's getting a Granny Pod, I am. I'll stay in the backyard and you kids can stay in the house with your dad.
Grandson: And we'll play truckth?
Annie: Wait! There must be a simpler solution for old people who keep tipping over.
Grant: I know! The Apple watch - she can call 911 from the floor any time she goes down.
All of them: Hurray!
See what I mean?! Do you understand the extreme comparison now between girl and granny?
One day you're standing on a table painting their walls or hanging curtains in their first apartments, and everyone thinks you're marvelous. The next day you're standing on a table hanging a light fixture and you fall and go to the ER, and they're putting your name on the wait list at Brethren Village. And while I'm no longer 17 wearing a Midshipman's hat, I'm not ready to have my grilled cheese put in a blender either.
Ah, well, Simba. That's just the Circle of Life. I'm very lucky to have my good kids looking out for me. Just don't tell them that yesterday afternoon I was painting the ceiling in the Charleston Room - one handed! At least I used a ladder.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres says people across the world continue to express outrage at the corruption of their leaders and at how deeply the vice is embedded in societies. Addressing the UN Security Council on Corruption in Conflict on Monday in New York, Guterres said corruption was present in all countries, rich and poor, North and South, developed and developing.
He said numbers show the startling scope of the challenge.
Guterres said the World Economic Forum estimated that the cost of corruption was at least US$2.6 trillion or five per cent of global gross domestic product. He said according to the World Bank, businesses and individuals pay more than $1 trillion in bribes each year.
"People across the world continue to express outrage at the corruption of their leaders, and at how deeply corruption is embedded in societies. They are rightly calling for political establishments to operate with transparency and accountability or make way for those who will," Guterres said. "I call on leaders everywhere to listen, to nurture a culture of integrity and to empower citizens to do their part at the grass roots. We must all do more to fight corruption, strengthen governance and build trustworthy institutions that can ensure probity and progress for all."
He said corruption robbed schools, hospitals and others of vitally needed funds.
"It rots institutions, as public officials enrich themselves or turn a blind eye to criminality. It deprives people of their rights, drives away foreign investment and despoils the environment," Guterres said. "Corruption breeds disillusion with government and governance and is often at the root of political dysfunction and social disunity. The poor and vulnerable suffer disproportionately. And impunity compounds the problem. Corruption can be a trigger for conflict. As conflict rages, corruption prospers. And even if conflict ebbs, corruption can impede recovery."
He said corruption drives and thrives on the breakdown of political and social institutions.
"These institutions are never more in crisis than in times of conflict," Guterres said. "Corruption is linked to many forms of instability and violence, such as the illicit trafficking in arms, drugs and people."

Today I realized - AHA! style - that all of the work I've done on the story I've been writing (and have been writing, in tandem with another, for several years) is not really the story. What I've been doing is developing and discovering: pushing around the characters until they feel like themselves; developing the idea that started it all; discovering new characters and situations. This is not a story yet and I AM FINE WITH THAT. It's a relief to see it as a dot on a line instead of a disappointing terminal point.
The story is coming - I see edges of it - the more I write the closer it gets. I've written a lot of words; most of them won't make it to the end and THAT IS OKAY. I've been beating myself up for not being the kind of person who can just whip out an outline and go to town boom boom boom beginning middle end, even though I know this is a dumb, destructive attitude. (My expectations were dumb - if you're a go to town boom boom boom beginning middle end kind of writer, more power to you!) In the immortal words of Ke$ha, We R Who We R. Everyone has to find their own way and sometimes it seems stupid or counterintuitive or not right, but that's fine. Keep going!

Top 5 Best Facial Epilator Buying Guide
Facial hair removal is unquestioningly a burning problem, especially in the case of women. No one wants to walk around the streets with even a tiny hair on the face. At the same time, if we think of removing hair, the first thing that comes up in our mind is a pain as it is never a pleasant experience. So, what comes for our help in this situation?
The section of this article is determined to provide you with useful insights on facial epilator that comes in our rescue to reduce pain, irritation, and itchiness often felt with using other facial hair removal methods. There are other methods to remove facial hair. Such as laser hair removal, depilatory creams, electrolysis, and so on. But, using a facial epilator will help you earn many benefits, as discussed below.
What is a facial epilator/epilator?
An epilator is a kind of hair removal technique backed by scientific results in less pain and irritation. There are mainly two kinds of epilator. One specific for facial hair known as a facial epilator, and another is used generally for all body parts — the difference from the number of inbuilt blades and the design. An epilator is usually an electric device operated by a battery. Some epilators may be waterproof, while some are not depending upon their different levels of construction.
However, waterproof facial epilators can be best to consider as they leave you with the option of flexible usage that you can even use them in your bathrooms.
Benefits Of Using The Facial Epilator
Proper use of facial epilator can help you in certain things as follows.
Your precious time will be saved a lot during facial epilators. Their fast operation allows them to quickly grab the hair coming in their way without manually teaching, unlike other methods. It is also far better than those conventional tweezers that only remove hair at once.
Effective Solution
After epilation, the results will last longer as compared to other methods. Facial epilating doesn't damage the skin cells like waxing and thus provide a smooth, clear skin after application. The devices like epilator are constructed explicitly for effective pulling of even soft and pesky hair.
Comfortable To Use
These devices are also ergonomically designed for a better grip. With a facial epilator, you can see what you are doing, unlike other bulky machines or other methods. Furthermore, you can use them anytime and anywhere because of the portability and comfort of use.
Results In Smooth Hair
You will get softer and more beautiful hair even after some time usage of facial epilator at regular intervals. Also, they will regrow at a slower rate than before. So, this is also one of the significant advantages of using a facial epilator for a long time.
Tips For Practical Usage Of Facial Epilator
If you want to see amazing results after using a facial epilator, then consider the following tips. They will help you a lot in seeing better results.
Always exfoliate your skin before epilation. It will remove dead skin cells and prevent the growth of ingrown hair.
Use specific facial epilators if your skin is too sensitive.
Position the epilator at a right angle or 90 degrees to your skin.
Hold the epilator loosely against the skin rather than pressing it over.
Do not move the epilator against the direction of hair growth. Always run it slowly in the path to reduce the regrowth.
Some redness is common. If it occurs, do not panic as it will move away after some hours and leaves a smooth skin.
In case your skin is too sensitive, you should use an epilator at night so that any redness and itchiness will have enough time to go out.
With speed adjustment epilators, always start with a low setting and gradually move forward with increased speed.
Be patient and take your time without a hurry.
Do not forget the skin after epilation to reduce redness and irritation.
Epilator is designed so you can quickly remove their heads for cleaning. So, don't be lazy and clean them after each use.
Risks Of Using Facial Epilator
The first time users of facial epilator should be concerned about a particular risk factor they may face for some time of usage initially. Using facial epilator, in the beginning, will like a painful aspect though less than waxing, but it will be painful. But, as you will become a regular user, the process starts to get less painful time on time.
You should use some lubrication to make the process hurtful if you are experiencing much pain. However, you should always check out on an epilator that will cause less strain.
Another risk factor you can face is fast epilation. If you epilate too quick and against the direction of hair growth, then the result will be broken hair instead of pulling it out from the root. These hairs will then become infected or ingrown.
So, if you are also deciding to purchase facial epilator this year, then do not miss on considering other essential factors as given below.
Points To Be Consider Before Buying A Facial Epilator
Just like any other beauty product, facial epilator also needs to be considered based on the following points.
Can It Be Used On The Face?
As you are concerned about buying a facial epilator, then the first thing you must check is for the face epilation. A facial epilator is a whole lot different thing from a traditional epilator in terms of size, blades, and design. Thus, you should only go for an epilator that can be easily used over the skin of your face while giving you the freedom to see what you are epilating.
Do Not Compromise On Quality
Checking for a budget thing is nice, but when the concerns are sensitive like the skin, then you should compromise on quality by just checking out the price. If you are finding a facial epilator an expensive one, then it will be multiple times better than those cheap epilators that will cause the worst effect on your skin.
Is It Painful?
As we discussed before that you would experience some pain for sure in initial operations. But this kind of pain can also be reduced if you use a specific epilator based on the feature of causing less pain. Unlike waxing, the facial epilator does not destroy the cells of your skin. It is because of this reason alone that you will gradually start to experience less pain after regular usage.
Is It Feature-Packed?
It is also an important point to note because some facial epilators may not provide reasonable worth due to a lack of features. On the other hand, a facial epilator with a handful of features will look more attractive and useful.
Usability And Maintenance
There are facial epilators that are very easy to use as well as clean. So, you should check for those epilators with removable heads so that you can remove the epilated hair and clean them easily. Choose a water-resistant epilator or an epilator with a washable head depending.
The Durability Of Blades And Tweezers
The inbuilt blades and tweezers provided for epilation should be durable enough for long time usage of the product. Buying a durable epilator is much better than purchasing an epilator again and again. You can also check the brand presence and reliability of the product so that it can be trusted easily to use for years.

Most Australians deal with financial headaches during their lifetime, and this is generally regarded as a normal fluctuation in our finances. But what if you're not able to work out these challenges yourself, but at the same time, you don't want to declare bankruptcy?
Debt consolidation loans are a popular solution that relieves individuals of financial stress by consolidating all their current debts into one easy to manage loan that's payable each month. On the contrary, debt agreements are another approach available to people in financial distress, and this will be the focus of today's article.
What is a debt agreement?
A debt agreement is essentially a legal contract between you and your lenders which comprises Part IX of the Bankruptcy Act 1966. Under this agreement, your financial institutions allow you to pay off a sum of money that you can manage, over an arranged time frame, to settle your debts.
It is crucial to note, however, that entering a debt agreement is an 'act of bankruptcy' and has long-term financial repercussions which may impact your ability to receive credit down the track. As a result, it's strongly recommended that individuals seek independent financial guidance before making this decision to ensure this is the best approach for their financial circumstances and they clearly recognise the implications of such agreements.
Before entering a debt agreement
There are certain things one should consider before entering into a debt agreement. Speaking to your financial institutions about your financial circumstance is always the first step you should take to try to resolve your debts outside of a debt agreement. Have you spoken with your financial institutions and asked them for extra time to settle your debt? Have you already attempted to work out a repayment plan or a smaller payment to repay your debt?
What types of debts are covered in debt agreements?
Debt agreements are designed to assist low income earners who are unable to pay unsecured debts. Not all kinds of debt are covered in debt agreements, including the following:
- Secured debt – for example home loans where the property can be sold to recover money
- Joint debt – if you have a joint debt with an associate, lenders can demand that your partner repays the full amount if you're unable to
- Overseas debt
- Other debts – for example debts incurred by court fines, child support, fraud, and student HECS or HELP debts
Are you eligible to enter a debt agreement?
To discover if you are eligible, simply visit the Australian Financial Security Authority's (AFSA) website (https://www.afsa.gov.au/insolvency/i-cant-pay-my-debts/am-i-eligible-debt-agreement).
If you determine that a debt agreement is the best alternative for you, a debt agreement administrator will assist you with your debt agreement proposals, based upon what you can afford, and send this proposal to each of your creditors. If your financial institutions accept the terms of your agreement, then your debt agreement will begin, for example, paying 75% of your debts to lenders over a 3-year time frame.
Drawbacks of debt agreements
As mentioned earlier, debt agreements are an 'act of bankruptcy' and as a result, there are serious implications one must take into consideration.
- If your lenders turn down your debt agreement proposal, they can make an application to the courts for involuntary bankruptcy
- Your name will appear on the National Personal Insolvency Index (NPII) for 5 years from the date of your agreement, or 2 years after the end date, whichever is later
- Your debt agreement will be listed on your credit report for up to five years, or longer in some situations
- You are legally required to notify a new financial institution of your debt agreement when acquiring a loan over $5,703.
- If you own an enterprise trading under another name, you are legally required to disclose your debt agreement to anyone who deals with your enterprise.
- If your job belongs to a regulated profession or a position of trust, it may affect your employment.
Choose your debt agreement administrator diligently.
Debt agreement administrators play an important role in the results of your debt agreement, so always select an administrator that is registered with AFSA's list of registered debt agreement administrators. Prices also vary widely between administrators, so always look at the payment terms before making any decisions.
If you're still unsure if a debt agreement is the right choice for you, speak to Bankruptcy Experts Northern Rivers on 1300 795 575 who can give you the right advice, the first time. For additional information, visit www.bankruptcyexpertsnorthernrivers.com.au.

Weather Report - Live at Newport Jazz Festival
Here is a live soundboard recording of Jaco with Weather Report playing at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1976. YouTuber "MusicEnthusiasmNorway" has a great collection of live and rare Jaco tracks up there. Check them out.
"100 Yard Dash" Bass Line
Here is nice old school bass line by Raphael Saddiq on his retro tune called "100 Yard Dash". It repeats throughout the entire song with some slight variations. It has an interesting phrase that starts off the beat and the trick is keeping it solid and on those off beats to really glue the entire song together. Check it out.

Some stats from State Controlled Media selling citizens on immigration to fix low fertility problem they created:
- By 2030, number of elderly citizens will triple to 900,000, about 30% of population.
- With more exiting the workforce, burden of taxes will fall on smaller pool of working adult citizens.
- Currently, there are 6.3 working-age citizens supporting each elderly citizen. By 2030, this ratio will drop to 2.1:1
- Taking in 20,000 to 25,000 new citizens each year will bump up citizen old-age support ratio slightly from 2.1 to 2.4 working citizens for every elderly citizen, in 2030.
Demographic time bomb is ticking & there's no stopping it. Retirement fund minimum sum rising each year & savings going down after being sucked dry by the ruling party especially through exorbitant public housing costs. Notice the note at bottom of chart said after 2002 is inclusively of permanent residents. I suspect PRs are added in so the gap does not look horrifying.
With high costs of living & discrimination of elderly workers due to overly liberal immigration & jobs policy, many elderly low on retirement $$$ would be forced to sell/downgrade their homes to fund medical & living expenses. When there's a tsunami wave of selling what happens to the price?
Baby boomers work & spend spend spend --> Boom Boom Boom
Baby boomers retire & cut cut cut -- Bust Bust Bust
I look forward to the big crash. Things have really gotten out of whack especially with housing costs driving up costs of living & literally making more & more people mortgage slaves.

CS member on Chicago Community Radio
CS executive member Ben Lewis was the guest on last Tuesday's Radical Minds show on WHPK, a community radio station broadcasting in Chicago (stream after the jump). Ben was invited to discuss the tumultuous history of the German worker's movement, and specifically his recently published translation of the speeches of Zinoviev and Martov at the 1920 Halle conference of the Independent Social Democrats. Would the USDP and its 700,000 members side with revolutionary Russia and the Third International, or attempt to stay a halfway house floating uneasily between communism and official social democracy? The Halle congress decided.
Radical Minds 06/12/11 with Ben Lewis
"Radical Minds explores the intersection between politics and economics in the modern world. It is an ongoing discussion among activists, intellectuals and academics on issues pertinent to the Left–past, present and future."

Jermothy Linbow? I say, Hell no!
To continue the Linsanity theme that's been going on here at Metta (and the rest of the known universe) recently, I wanted to talk about the newest development in the now week old saga of the Harvard econ grad. And that development is the comparisons that are now being drawn between the Asian sensation and good Lord himself, Timothy Tebow. We all knew they were coming, it was just a matter of how long it would take for them to come. Well, they didn't take very long, and the day after Lin's third big game (second as a starter) the internet, and most specifically twitter, was teeming with Lin-Tebow comparisons. The facepalm reaction that these comparisons evoke is not quantifiable and I don't have the articulation necessary to detail just how off-base they are. But, I'm going to try anyway. Unfortunately, this inevitable horror was catalyzed by none other than Lin himself in an interview he did with 95.7 The Game in San Francisco. When asked about Tebow's inspirational effect on him, Lin said:
"Actually a lot of inspiration just because he's such a polarizing figure but I think the things he says in interviews, his approach to the game is just unbelievable and I respect him so much. I want to be able to do some of the things that he does in terms of the amount of charity work and the non-profit work, and the way he impacts people off the field. I think that is what is most inspiring to me about him."
Now let's be very clear about this: the Linbow comparisons draw upon two facets of these players' sport lives and regular lives, and two facets only. The first one is the sheer improbability, based on preset collective expectations, that either would have any serious success as a pro, even though both enjoyed long and illustrious college careers. Tebow – a Heisman winner, a two time national champion, and arguably one of the greatest college football players of all time – was never supposed to be a good NFL quarterback because his throwing motion was unorthodox and too slow. If anything he was going to be a halfback; that's what most NFL pundits told us. It was a shock to see him go in the latter stages of the first round of the draft, when most thought he'd be a 3rd round pick at best. Lin was never supposed to be a rotation guy in the NBA for a myriad of reasons. He wasn't highly touted coming out of college because, although his play in the amateur game was stellar, it came in the nether universe of college sports known as the Ivy League. He went undrafted and was picked up by my hometown Warriors, where he rode the bench for 82 games, only playing in brief stints, before being cut last offseason to make room for Deandre Jordan (yeah, the same Deandre Jordan that we didn't end up signing – I'm surprised we didn't just go ahead and amnesty Lin's sub-million dollar contract instead of the GOLIATH of a $4 M dollar expiring contract that belonged Charlie Bell. God, I really hate my team). The Rockets picked Lin up off the waiver wire and then quickly cut him to make room to sign Samuel Dalembart, and the Knicks then seized their opportunity to swoop in on the 23 year old Taiwanese baller.
The second facet of the Linbow that is pivotal in the comparisons being made is…yes, you knew I was going to say it…their religious convictions. Both are devout Christians (I don't know the exact strain of the faith each adheres to, but I don't think that level of detail is necessary), and both are not shy about letting the media, and therefore the entire world, know about it. Now, even though I might have my own feelings about religion in general, this is in no way an indictment or commendation of the subject, but rather a dispassionate observation of a similarity shared between the two men in question. Tebow's religious beliefs and missionary work in the Philippines have been well documented, and those religious beliefs played a crucial role in making him the most polarizing sports figure in recent history, maybe even ever. Lin's religious faith is no lesser than Tebow's, but we haven't heard as much about it yet because, well, even though Lin is quickly becoming a phenomenon, he is still nowhere near the media beast, 24/7 coverage, will-you-please-just-talk-about-something-else craze that Tebow was during this past NFL season.
So there you have it: the improbable defying of odds to succeed in the pro game when you were never supposed to, and an unwavering love of Jesus (I'm not being facetious here). Two things that Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow share. The only two things that Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow share. Because when it comes to actually playing the sports that these two athletes play, Jeremy is actually good at his. Tebow, not so much at his. I know that Timothy won 8 in row with a series of miraculous 4th quarter comebacks (this can spin off into another debate about the validity, or lack thereof, of credit/blame we assign quarterbacks in conjunction with wins and losses – Bomani Jones wrote a great article about it for SB Nation earlier in the week). And I know he threw for 316 yards in that first playoff game at mile-high against the vaunted Steelers D (still didn't throw 50% though, he was 10-21). But let's just be honest, Tim Tebow never at any point in this past season looked like a legitimate NFL starting quarterback, let alone a good NFL starting quarterback. They were milking Willis McGahee, playing great defense, and getting teams to play the horrific 4th quarter Prevent D that has become a staple of every NFL team earnest to snatch defeat from the hands of victory. So the Broncos won some games, but Tebow never looked consistently good in doing so. In his last game of the season against a Patriots' defense that had been nothing short of horrific leading up to that point, Lord Tebow went 9-26 for 136 yards. That's a 34.6% completion percentage; 34.6%!!! Somewhere in the world, Ryan Leaf was watching and thinking "man, that guy is god awful at playing the quarterback position". Tebow's run was remarkable, and it made for great theater and great TV, but never once was any serious football fan convinced that the guy had a future playing quarterback in the NFL. We were just happy to ride the rollercoaster until it crashed. And crash it did. Hard.
Lin is different from Tebow because, as I said earlier, he is actually good at the sport he plays, and the position he plays within that sport. It's a small sample size, I know, but that's all we have to go off right now. In three games Mr. Lin has been ridiculously good, putting up gaudy numbers comparable to the elite point guards in the game, averaging 25.3 points and 8.3 assists per contest. Yeah, those are straight Chris Paul numbers, except not really because they're actually better than Chris Paul's numbers (18.4 and 9.1). Lin had an alarming 8 turnovers in his second game but rectified this problem by only turning the rock over twice in the following game (not to mention only one TO in his first game, coming off the bench but playing 36 minutes). AND HIS PER RANKING IS SECOND IN THE LEAGUE, BEHIND ONLY LEBRON JAMES!!! FANTASY PICKUP OF THE YEAR BABY!!! Yeah, yeah, I already said I am aware it's only been 3 games. I don't care though, the kid can ball. And it's been well covered now by many basketball journalists and bloggers that the reason he's so effective is because he can run the pick and roll to near perfection. Running the most important play in basketball is dependent upon one's ability to make quick decisions: whether to drive strong to the hoop, to pull up for the mid-range jumper, to slip a pass in to the man rolling to the hoop or popping out for an elbow jumper, to draw a help defender and kick it out to a spot-up shooter on the perimeter, etc. Lin is good at making decisions in these situations, and in Mike D'Antoni's pick and roll heavy offensive scheme (although pre-Lin it looked more like Mike Brown's Lebron-iso-every-single-play-of-the-game-no-matter-what scheme) having that decision-making ability is invaluable. Lin is thriving because of his ability to run the most popular play in basketball with such effectiveness. The numbers don't lie, and no I don't think Lin can keep them up because if he did he'd be the greatest PG to ever play the game. The numbers will fall, especially when Melo and Amare return to the lineup, but Lin has proven that he can really play the point at the NBA level. Timothy never proved that he could play quarterback at the NFL level. One stat that sums it up well: Lin shoots a better FG%, 52.9% this season, than Tebow's pass completion percentage, 46.5% this past season. Yeah, take a second to let that one sink in.
NBA journalist/blogger Matt Moore summed it up pretty well with this tweet:
"Look, it's going to take more than three good games for me to compare Lin and Tebow. Lin's going to have to suck in a lot more games now"
That might be a little harsh, but you get the point. So next time you're about making the infamous Linbow comparison, make sure to think long and hard before you go through with it. Although there may be some parallels in their lives and the obstacles they've overcome, there aren't many beyond that.

When you got married, you thought you had it all planned out. You both had good jobs and your salaries and savings plans were going to be enough to pay for your kids' college education as well as your retirement. But, then, life happened! College is upon you and you've gone through everything. Do you tell your kids they can't go to college or do you take out student loans and make them pay for it when they graduate? Or, do you figure out another way to make enough money to be able to pay for it after all?
Sound familiar? I never thought it would happen to me but it did and it was due to me losing my technology job 15 years ago. At the time, my 2 kids were still little so I made the decision not to go back to work full time and to go work with my husband (for free) to help him grow his insurance practice so we could make up for my lost salary. It didn't take me long to realize two things: 1) I don't like working in the insurance industry, and 2) my husband and I cannot work together! It was the latter of those two things that made me decide that I needed to find my own way to make money (preferably from home). So, I went on a mission to find that perfect home based business that would allow me to earn enough money.
After three network marketing companies (one of which I'm still, technically, a distributor because of the residual income) and ten years of feeling very uncomfortable at every social event where I wasn't going to bring up my business to everyone around me, just to say that I tried, I was starting to see some success. This was due to a couple of distributors on my team who were driven to succeed. The major problem was that when they quit, my business died. So, I went online to figure out how to meet people who were interested in meeting me, in order to have them join my team and what I found out there was a whole new world of affiliate marketing.
With affiliate marketing, you don't rely on other people to make you successful. It's still a relationship based business, but your income depends on your actions and not on your team members actions. Don't get me wrong…you make a little bit of income whenever your affiliates sell something, but it's not a major part of your income.
The income with affiliate marketing can be a lot higher than with direct sales and network marketing companies too. If your goal is to make $10,000 a month, wouldn't it be easier to sell ten $1,000 products than one hundred $100 products? The key here is to find a high ticket affiliate program that will pay you handsomely for your efforts.
Sure, you can sell products from affiliate programs like Clickbank and JVZoo but their commissions are very small. Over the last several years, I searched for a company that not only had the training and mentorship that I was looking for, but the commissions that would make my time worth it. I found lots of scams and companies that didn't deliver on their promises, but I ultimately found the one that will allow me to finally find peace of mind and allow me to dream big again for my retirement.
Getting back to the title of this blog post, even before you can dream big about your retirement, you'll have to deal with the cost of college for your kids. Yikes! It's so expensive and if you don't have at least $100,000 set aside for each kid, you'll be struggling to pay the tuition bills every semester. But, with a system like the one I've found, that struggle will become a pleasure. The most important thing to look for in a way to make money from home is the company's leadership and mentorship. Without those two things, it will be exponentially harder to figure out the whole online business thing on your own. The system/company that I have aligned myself with has both a wonderful, "in the trenches" leader AND they provide you with a personal coach to walk you through all the steps to success.
I invite you to check out the company and the system that I love. It will be great to meet you and, hopefully, to see you on the beaches of the world and hear your success story about how you were able to pay for your kids' college education in cash!
To your success,

Well this is the first post…it can only get more interesting from here! I have chosen for the first pic my last week's cake which happened to be my husband's 30th cake (Not all my cakes will be family's promise!) This was a sponge cake shaped to look like the Volkswagon Caravanette van which will probably be the closest he ever gets to owning one! The sad thing about this cake is it won't even get eaten as he has decided not to cut into it but to display it in his shop – Not sure how I feel about that!
Edit: We are now almost 10 years on & I can safely safe the cake is no longer on display in the shop! Mr C still loves looking at Caravanettes and Camper Vans (& I think still secretly would love a weekend away in one) but 3 daughters in such a confined space may not be the wisest idea.
We are approaching Mr C's 40th birthday (where did those years go?) – I've been told that he is not expecting a cake for his 40th but maybe I should just do an updated version of this with all our heads popping out of the window? Watch this space!

I figure this will make up for my absence. I especially like Zeus's expression.
How was your day?
I figure this will make up for my absence. I especially like Zeus's expression.
How was your day?
Cat photos are always welcome! Zeus looks like he's thinking, "ay, such a princess, always hogging the spotlight."
My Monday was a long one, thanks for asking, with a full day at work followed by an evening meeting that ran way overtime, but that's just business as usual. At least I resisted the urge to actually smack the idiots I encountered throughout the day, so I count that as a win. Hopefully I can similarly restrain myself today.
"I am not only the god of the sky and of thunder and of the Scalzi compound….but of the photobomb"
That there kitty looks like a Woodpile Cat. We've had a couple of outdoor cats with all that colorful orange dark and light stripy blotchiness you'd think would stand out anywhere. Then they climb up on the woodpile and are suddenly invisible.
(Also, I think that's Spice, not Sugar, and I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong.)
Cat #1: "Yeah, I'm cool."
Cat #2: "Can you believe this guy?"
My concussion protocol continues much to my dismay. The guy who rear ended me didn't have insurance. The good thing is that I've been cared for by my cat #SamSam
Your cats are so incredibly beautiful and happy looking. Mine are currently being looked after by my aunt and I miss them terribly, so pictures of yours make me so much happier.
My hope for this week is that I'll be able to get my cats back! Also meet my writing deadline, but, yeah. Cats. I miss them.
Thanks for the sweet cat picture! Always welcome.
I don't think I've ever seen a cat who looks more like he's smirking. God, cats are a-holes.
Was the next shot of Zeus reaching out and flicking Sugar's ear?
Nice cat picture! Cats aren't a-holes, they just know they are superior to all other living creatures, and can't help showing it sometime.

The Power of Making Someone Feel Despicable.. Picture a world where violent, armed bank robbery was so much a part of the social landscape that some hard left cities actually created "sanctuary" provision for it. This, of course, would represent even greater chaos than we now endure: capital would disappear, banking operations would assume combat..

Washington, DC — ICBTS News Congressional Intelligence Committee Chair, Adam Schiff (D-California), is planning to present dramatic testimony this week alleging that President Donald Trump personally commanded a North Korean death camp. A confidential source within the Congressman's office refused to name the source of this new revelation but hinted, strongly, that it's clear from..
Treadwell, CA — ICBTS News It was all well intended, that is until the crap hit the fan, or in this case, the beach. The Human Resources Inclusion team for the small coastal town of Treadwell, California had just finished a three day seminar for city workers outlining hand gestures and body language that could..
Madison, WI – ICBTS News In response to public fear of growing "white nationalism" expressed by organizations as diverse as the National Education Association, NPR, The Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Queer Socialist Workers Party, researchers at Hollick University set out to identify both a definition for "White Nationalism" and where it might be gaining..
McLean, VA — ICBTS News Presidential Candidate and former VP Joe Biden announced yesterday he will be leaving this week on what he is boldly calling an "International Shakedown Tour."

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Romans 13 and the Persecution-Seeking Christian Whenever we ponder Christianity and government, you can almost wager some well-meaning believer will argue that we can't expect rulers to be just because Paul actually..
Brittle melancholies.. I'm only ten years old but there's something in Karen Carpenter's voice that sends me into a third heaven. I can feel sugar effervescing across my shoulders and down my arms. "White lace and promises, a kiss for luck and we're on our way." I don't think I have the words, yet, to..
Why Does Roger Moore Get all the Girls? An old real estate salesman taught me everything I needed to know about equality when I was a know-nothing twenty-one year old. "Jim," he said, "if you gave a hundred different people a million dollars, in two years, a few of them would have ten million dollars..
Psalm 149, Just Sayin'.. I live in California — which on many fronts, is led by certifiably insane political leaders — but, countering that, my small town has more than 40 different Christian churches. I know enough about scripture to entertain a forlorn hope: that means there are 40 men in this town who consider..
Lexington or Chicago? Beto O'Rourke: 'Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47' I am not much of a meme-er, but I composed this one a few years ago and whenever I share it, it seems to be re-posted far and wide; the fear of being made into a defenseless peasant runs very..

Crowds were chanting "Rossia! Rossia! Rossia!" as Russia's victorious Olympians returned home following the closing ceremony on Sunday, Februrary 25th in PyeongChang.
We won't lie, 2018 was one of the worst years in Russian Olympic history, as it felt like the world was against Russia, and all sorts of slander was thrown in her face. Still, the athletes returned to Russia as if it was their triumph, because after all, victory against all odds is part of the Russian spirit.
In the video below, you'll also find a short conversation with one of the athletes who brought Russia her first bronze in a certain field. He said he already misses his homeland's food, he's tired of rice, he's ready for hot pelmeni (stuffed dumplings) and sala (literally some of the best treats known to man).
