Sometimes I wonder if anyone at all reads my blog here. I know I don't write much but even if a few people are reading I'll keep writing.

It's winter

We got almost 2 inches of snow here in Las Vegas this past week. Most places around town got 6 inches. It's been a weird and wonderful week.

I just got done reading Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

I will say I absolutely loved this book. If you like this authors writing this is a must have for you. I read it in one day, in one sitting. I was home alone and was uninterrupted, so it was easier. I can't wait for the next installment.

Hi and nice to see you

Yeah yeah, I know I haven't been around much. But you can still read my articles just look over ---> there and click on one of them. lol
Have a nice day and leave me a note when you read one of my articles.

Get Paid for Doing Surveys

bad survey places

You know I've been taking online surveys for years and getting pretty good rewards, prizes, cash ect..from them. I even have a bunch I do through the mail, so when my daughter asked me to help her find one she could do I did. I thought it was a good one too, she's been doing the survey's with them for over a year and last year got a $25.00 gift card when she cashed in ehr points.

Well last week when she tried logging in to do her monthly survey, she couldn't log in instead she got a message stating her account had been deactivated. They never even emailed her to tell her this. She has several thousand points saved up from the last years surveys that she was saving to get a bigger prize.

I helped her email them and they sent her back an email stating that her informatiion was no longer needed, that since her help was no longer needed her account had been deactiveated and she looses all her points. Now is that fair.?

They gave her a link to the terms of service that states what they did was in there and that she agreed to it when she signed up.

Is the link to the site, I wanted to warn others not to sign up for this site. They will rip you off.

Yeah I've posted this several times, on my blogs and I'm going to continue to post this every so often because poeple should know there are survey places out there that will scam you. It's not right that she lost 11 months worth of survey points because they decided to deactivate her account. They should have at the very least let her cash in her points.

Plaques, name plates and more

If you could be Immortal

If you could be immortal....would you? Would you give up growing old, aging and stay alive and young while your family members and loved one's grew old and died?
I would If I were a Vampire....

private email vs posting something on a forum thread for everyone to see

I'm not gonna say who, what where or when so don't ask, but if you're gonna post a negative remark about someone becuase they did something you don't like I really believe this should be settled in a private email and not be posted in the forum.

Because everyone else who reads it is gonna jump in and jump on that person saying, yeah why did you do that? Because most people have nothing better to do than to belittle someone else. Even someone they don't know anything about. Think about it, most people on forums think they can say anything they want, because they aren't speaking to someone face to face, so who cares if you hurt their feelings. Well people there is a real fucking person behind the screen that you are typing on and they DO have feelings.

Doesn't matter anyway, I can choose not to go to that forum anyway, I don't need the drama.

This will however make the fourth such forum that I have decided to stop going to, and they wonder why they have no traffic after a while

Wake the fuck up people!. It's because the moderators and owners choose to let shit like this go on. Maybe have a little balance between letting people speak their minds and not going to far and people wills tay, but if the members are continuosly getting internetly bitch slapped, they are going to leave and you have no one but yourself to blame when your forum has no memebrs or only members that are assholes.

end of rant.

The Descent

Me and my family watched The Descent last night and all I can say is ......dayum! This movie with it's crazy ass monsters was really creepy. If you haven't seen it.....you must!
I'm not kidding, but I wouldn't watch it alone or you might find yourself to afraid to go into the darkly lit bathroom when it's over, fearing the 'monsters' are hiding just out of sight.

Cake again

Yet another cake I made.

Here's another cake I made this week. I made the cake by scrath and made the mocha chocolate frosting from scratch too. This one came out reallllly good. The decorating could have been a little better but I'm getting threre.

First Time Using Fondant

Here's a picture of a cake I made last week. Not as good as I would ahve liked but it my first time using Fondant. And if you don't know what Fondant is, think of it like sugar flavored Play Dough for cake. yummmm

I've got even more published on Yahoo Contributor Network.

So after shana gave me the link for this place I decided to give it a try and low and behold I've now been published several times. 


Hell I plan on ranting and typing online and I may as well get paid for it, right? I could post my thoughts, and rants and views and helpful hints for free or I could do it and get a few bucks, right? Right!
So far so good.

Midnight Rain by James Newman

I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of "Midnight Rain" from James Newman. When I got it and started reading it I was hooked.

The book, "Midnight Rain" centers around a twelve year old boy named Kyle Mackey. His father is dead and his mother is an alcoholic. Kyles older brother Dan, is about to leave for college. Kyle goes off to what he calls his, "Secret Place" located in the woods, while there he witnesses a murder. Young Cassandra Belle Roarke is murdered by two men little Kyle knows. What happens next will keep you thoroughly immersed in the story. I don't want to give away the entire plot in case some of you have yet to read this novel, and read it you should!

I never put the book down from the time I started reading it until the very last page. I was totally enthralled in the story after starting it and I'm sure you will be too.

While this may not be a "horror" novel, it did have it's truly breathtaking moments, along with interesting characters and plot twists. Midnight Rain is a suspenseful and excellently written page-turner that begs to be read in one sitting.

Visiting Hours

So today I'm at the hospital visiting my mother. She's back in the hospital with a kidney infection that spread to her blood system. She's getting better, but boy they have her drugged up. I was a little worried cause yesterday when I called she could hardly talk she was so drugged. But today I find out they moved her .........again. To a room in the new part of the hospital. I had a hell of a time finding it. First I had to go to the 3rd floor, go around the back and through the double doors and over to the only elevators that will take you back down to the 2nd floor. Yes, this is weird. So when I get off the elevators I go right and walk around the corner and all of the sudden the whole interior of the hospital changes.

 The paint is this drab tan, the floors are all marked up and have black stains on them.. Now this is suppossed to be the 'new' part of the hospital. so WTF? 

I get to my mom's room and it's dark. There's no windows, like their are in all the other rooms on the other floors and some of the people seem to be locked in their rooms as they are standing inside their rooms and lookng out the small glass window on the front of the door. Now I'm thinking to myself, have they stuck my mother on the psycho ward? I mean really, what the hell is going on? Some of these people looking out their little peep holes are giving me the creeps. So I go to the nurses station and ask what kinda floor was my mother on? She tells me it's the surgical, neurological and run off floor. That they get the run off from both floor 4 and 5 when they run out of beds. They also have a few people in isolation. That's why the doors are locked.

Isolation? Are these people that are right next to my mom contagious? I don't know but these rooms are creeping me out.

Oh and remember how I said the hallways were on a curve? Oh I didn't say that, well they were, so if your in bed, 4-5 other people in their beds can see you in yours. Well as my mom sat up in bed she starts giggling and I ask her what's so funny. She pulls me over to where I can see out the door and points at her neighbor across the hall who has his door open. Well this old guy is sitting there on his bed rolled over on his side with his ass sticking out of his hospital gown, then he turns over and takes the bottom of his gown and pulls it up over his face, yep you guessed it. He flashed us then rolled over and had his ass sticking out in the wind again.

My poor mother is laughing so hard she starts coughing, sending the nurse to see if she's ok. My mom is still laughing and pointing and when the nurse see's what she's pointing at the nurse just shakes her head and says. "We can't keep his clothes on him."

I sure hope she gets to come home soon, cause if I want to see bare bottoms I know where to see them. lol

It's been a crazy couple of weeks.

Almost two weeks ago my mom fell down in a hole in her yard and broke her leg........again...

So she's been in the hospital and now is in rehab getting back on her feet. . I've been running around paying her bills, and taking care of her dog and being out in this 112 degree heat is killing me. So I started doing alot of stuff at midnight, but my hubby doesn't feel safe having me out at night. I appreciate his worrying but nothing has happened to me, I always park in the light and really close to the door of what ever place I'm going to. He has to remember there are always alot of people out cause this place is a 24 hours town, we don't sleep here. lol

Most people live on coffee. lol So it's not like I'm out there by myself, but I do appreciate him worrying while he's in bed and I'm out doing the shopping. LMAO Good thing the grocery stores never close, huh?
Anyway, things should get back to normal now that my mom should be going home on friday, but I'll have to be driving her to her doctor visits for the near future, she has to go back to the doctor and get her 47 staples taken out. I saw the staples for the first time today and damn, but it looked like there were alot of them. Ouch!
