If you read my post earlier in the even about staying motivated in your exercise routine… I’ve thought about it a little more. In the past 50 to 75 years, physical activity has become the exception rather than the rule, both at home and on the job. People tend to drive where others once walked. ...

Motivated to delay the inevitable
2008-05-31 00:58:00
Exercise is always a do-it-yourself venture. No other person and no machine can do it for you. Hence, it is important to have those motivating factors so that a person who is into exercise in order to lose weight will hang about.

Top credit cards
2008-05-25 22:24:00
There are legitimate reasons to seek out 0 APR credit card sites. You should know what they are… and what they are not. Good reason: you blow a head-gasket and it’s fifteen miles to work and the guys you carpool with were just transferred to swing-shift. Bad reason: your ex-girlfriend wants an iPhone. Apple’s got a cool product and all that, but not at those interest rates. That’s the thing about using credit cards. They’re serious business and meant for real-time emergencies. Not gizmomentos and giddgedygoes. Pay more than the minimum amount when a payment is due. This is true for ALL types of cards.

Chuck
2008-05-25 22:07:00
Two years ago, a cardinal baby bird fell from its nest into the backyard. Frances (Scottie supreme) kept barking for us to come outside. She ran into little spurts, back and forth in front of our fence where we have a lot of brush piled up for the birds to hang out in. Val noticed the bird and tried to hand it to me. If you know me and granted, most of you don’t, you’d know I do not want a just-hatched baby redbird in my hand… it’s not that I’m squeemish, it’s just … anyway, back to the story. I was informed that I must find the nest and put it back into it. Yeah, right… okay… where’s a cardinal nest in this brush? We looked for a few minutes and sure enough, found the nest. Too high in the bushes for Val to put the bird away, so I had to take it and return it to its mother. The bird apparently grew up and really likes Val. I kid you not. When she is out in the yard and starts talking, the bird flies nearby and chirps o...

Creating multiple streams of income
2008-05-23 23:47:00
Unless your brand is along the lines of Chow, Cow, Shoe, Zac, Josh or Dooce relying on blog brand alone is a dangerous proposition. Why? Well, assuming this article will be read much later than current memory of the 2007 Google slap, your brand may turn to dust over night. So what is a blog pimp to do you ask? Two words - Affiliate Marketing. One positive pay-offs of affiliate marketing comes from the idea that you can subscribe to as many different affiliate programs (read: diversify) as you can reasonably handle, at the same time. In a coming article I will touch on the importance of focus delivered through your blog to appeal to customers instead of appearing like a fucktard of links. It’s a fine line to walk between having multiple streams of income and having too many programs. Trust me on this, I’m currently hitting 120 differing sites and it heading towards impossible to handle. I don’t have the convenience of ignoring the problem so let’s take a jab a...
