Spam, How to get rid of most of it!!!!

I don't know about you, but I hate having my email fill up with nothing but garbage, otherwise known as spam. I get so tired of going through my email accounts and seeing all those ads for "Meet the person of your dreams", or "I can save you money on your mortgage" and other like emails when I know I didn't sign up for their services. It might not be so bad if they would use my real name, but most of them have a greeting of "Dear Info". My name isn't info. I mean really, if you're going to spider my site for my email, then at least get my name as well. Make the spam more personal. But, I may have actually found a way to get rid of some of that useless spam that keeps coming to my inbox. I found this wonderful little trick that changes the way my email is posted on both my sites. The amount of spam I get for this email account has actually dropped by 50% and I don't get any spam at Staying Healthy the Natural Way. I wasn't sure if this little script would work, but it has. I don't mind sharing it with you if you don't know about it, but I would prefer not posting it here for fear that all those unscrupulous emailers find a way to work around it. There's no way I could charge anything for this little tidbit of info since I didn't come up with it. All you have to do is ask and it's yours.

I hope you have a blessed day.

Ponders of a Weird Mind (Mine)

Have you ever noticed that you think of great ideas when it's the most inopportune times? Usually when you don't have access to a computer. My ideas usually come to me when I'm driving down the road. Figures. And since I have my 4 year old with me, the idea never stays long enough for me to complete it. Today is actually an exception to this for a change. I heard on the radio about someone needing someone to do some work from home and this is a local gentleman. He needs a few odd jobs done, typing, editing, answering phones when he's gone, things like that. I thought to myself, "I can do that." So when I got home I called him. We hit off as if we've known each other for years. He'd say an idea he wanted to do and I'd come back with a way to make it just a little bit better, or he'd enhance an idea I had. It's funny how things like that work. I know God had a hand in this and this is why. I was almost home when I heard his ad, and the only time I really listen to the radio is when I'm driving. Come to find out, he had tried to send his ad by email twice and both times it was returned to him because it couldn't be delivered. He told me he figured he'd get a busy signal when he tried to call, but the call went through without a problem and I actually had a piece of paper to write his number down on. See, things can work out so right when God has a hand in things.

Here's some more good news. I actually got paid for working on a friends computer. It wasn't much, but the fact that I did is enough for me. At least for right now. One day, maybe I'll have my own computer shop open and get to do this all the time. I love tearing things apart to see if I can put it back together just to see how it works.

I'm going for now. I really need to clean this house. I hope and pray you have a great day and may God shower his blessings on you and your family.

Okay, it's started

I'm going to do something I never thought I would do. I'm going to talk about Survivor. As all of you know James got booted last night. I have to apologize for him, since he's from Alabama and I am as well. In my opinion, he made us Alabamians look bad. He said he could do this, he said he could do that and ended up not being able to do any of it. I had such high hopes for him since he's a redneck just like I am only to be disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I could have done any better. I do know that I wouldn't have said I could do something if I actually couldn't. Anyway, I had to get that off my chest. I'm done now. Thanks for reading.

I hope you had a blessed day. Livi

Well I'm finshed with my new site, at least for now!!

I've been working on my newest site for a while now and have finally finished it where I'm not ashamed of people going there to have a look around. If you want to go and see what I've been doing, the url is www.naturalyhealthy.com and it's the first site I've completely done on my own. Yes, I'm bragging again!

I also want t apologize for not posting anything here in a while because of it. I've kept up the work that's needed to run the program from this end, but have let this slide to hurry and finish the new site, which I probably shouldn't have done. Now that's it's done, I should be posting away. I hope you'll come visit to read them.

I hope your days are filled with God's blessings. If you ever need a friend to talk to, I'll be here.

Valentine's Day... What a Joke!!!

Okay, before any of you assume that I'm just another single person that hates Valentine's Day, let me enlighten you. I have been married for almost 20 years now, and to the same man on top of that. The reason I dislike this day is because people have made it the one day that you are supposed to go out of you way to show your love or affection for people you care about. What about the other 364 days that are left? Are we supposed to just let them go as if they don't exist? My husband and I have never celebrated Valentine's Day in all the years that we've been married. That probably sounds weird to some of you, but we both believe that you should show your love everyday of the year. Here's another reason why we don't fool with celebrating this day. One year, I wanted to have every color of wild morning glory planted in the yard. I was able to find everyone except white. My husband saw one growing on the side of the road and brought it home to me that evening. That was the sweetest thing in my opinion. It didn't cost anything, except just long enough to dig it up. I was really touched by that. And yes, he was able to keep it alive all day even though he had taken it to work with him. I'll be the first to admit that he doesn't do things like that often, but when he does, it means more to me than anything he could have bought!!! I guess I'm just old fashioned like that, I would rather my husband spend some time and get me something I really want instead of spending money on things that usually get put up only to be gotten out on occasion. And yes, the flower did die come fall as it was supposed to, but I was able to get some seeds from it and was able to keep that memory alive for several more years. Why celebrate one day a year that we love each other when we can celebrate everyday that we love each other? Doesn't that make more sense? To me Valentine's Day is a way to force someone to show they care. I would much rather it be spontaneous. I'm sure not everyone agrees with me, but that's okay. I would much rather not celebrate Valentine's Day and have my husband do stuff like that for me when I least expect it. It ends up meaning more to me in the long run!

Okay, I'll get off my soap box for now and with you a great day. May God's blessings always be with you.

Just a little info

Have you ever booked your hotel room through one of those supposed discount sites? My husband and I are planning our vacation now even though it's months away. I went to those sites and after a lot of time looking, I found that I can usually get a better deal going through the hotel's site that I'm interested in staying at. For example, last year we went to Panama City Beach and ended up saving almost $10 by going through www.hojo.com This year, I found that most of the discount sites charged more than the hotel's site again, usually only a few cents but it's still cheaper not to go through them. Don't get me wrong, I actually did find one site that had one cheaper rate, but they had all been booked. Go figure!!!

Now on to another matter. I'm designing myself a new site. I'll be selling some of the best nutritional supplements on the market. I actually got my mom to try them and she loves them!!! I never thought I'd talk her into it, now she can't remember why she hasn't tried this stuff sooner. I have the name already set up and as soon as I get the site fixed, I'll be posting it here so you can go check it out. I promise, this stuff really works great. If you could hear all the testimonies that I've heard, you would be standing at my door beggin me to let you buy this. I've yet to hear anyone say a negative thing about these products, myself included.

Anyway, I'm going to go for now. I hope everyone has a great week. May God bless you all!!!

New Site to Check out!!!

I want you to know that this is the first time this has happened to me. Someone with a related site has actually come to me for a link. I was so thrilled. Plus with the place being in my home state, made me doubly proud to have a link to it on my site. Children's Rehabilitation Engineering Team I did go visit this site and found it to be a great place. The purpose the Children's Rehabilitation Engineering Team is to serve people with disabilities in the Alabama counties of Mobile, Baldwin, Choctaw, Clarke, Escambia, Monroe, and Washington by assisting them with their adaptive technology needs. And while I hate to admit it, this is something I haven't thought of. But then neither one of my children need this service. I'm just glad that someone out there did think of this and took measures to see it taken care of.

I hope everyone has a blessed day. May God always be with you.
