Do you read romance?

I know I do. Boy do I read romance, I can't get enough of them at times. I read all kinds of books, from self help to Horror and everything in between. but romance is my favorite. Of course I have my sub genres as I call them, the ever popular Vampires and Werewolf Romance novels.

Well If you like reading as much as I do, you are going to want to take a look at this site.

Did you know that if you like to win books you can do that here as well? I know it works because I won a book from Barbara Bretton just this week.

On this site you can also send a SASE for some free goodies, like signed bookmarks. This is one of my all time favorite sites and I recommend it highly.

Atlantis Unleashed By Alyssa Day

I knew when I read her first book in theis series I would be hooked and I was sooo right. I got throught ready Altantis Unleashed tonight and I actually whimpered during one of the tense sexual scenes.

My husband barely looked at me with that ever knowing smirk on his face. But whatever book this author throws at me next time I am bound to read, beacuse she really catches my and others readers attentions.

What more can I say...Go get the darn book and read it...and THEN tell me I am wrong. You won't be able to.

Uploaded new Pic.

I just updated my blog and the pic you see down there isn't of me obviously, but of none other than Nick from Forever Knight. I really miss that show, I really hate how they ened it, but they seem to do that alot.

Land Of Mary

Have you ever googled your name? lol well I did and I was surprised to see my name on a website I hadn't seen before, so I clicked on it and found myself in the land of Mary. It was made by someone on Associated Content, where I write but she has put together a whole bunch of Mary's. I thought it was kinda cool. I'm listed under Associated Content Authors.

All things freebie

I don't know if you know this about me but I happen to be a free sample addict. There I admitted it and isn't that the first step?

I used to shop the free site forums and try to sign up for all the free samples I could find, that is until I found one sight that has almost all the good ones at one sight. It's called freegrabber.com
and I have been able to find soooo many good samples there. I went back through the many many pages they have and signed up for just about every free sample they offered, well except for the ones that I didn't need like diapers and things of that nature.

I also go to walmart.com and find alot of really good free samples there. They are really fast to send out their samples unlike most other plces that want you to wait 6-8 weeks for a sample. But if you are like me, you end up signing up for so many samples each day, that after a while you start to get a few samples everyday.

Another place for good free samples is teenfreeway.com
Alot of what they have is for teenagers but why should they get all the free samples? lol

Traffic

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.

https://www.partnership-plus.com/login/

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

desk name plate

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.
