October 20, 2006
Hello and good morning everyone,
I'm writing this update before I have to leave and go to work. I had a really relaxing 2 days off and now I'm pumped and ready to battle those timeshare owners with attitude again at work. I'm working the 1 to 9 shift today and tomorrow.
I'm having some problems with my computer. For some reason all the sound files have disappeard and I can't seem to retreave them. I didn't know how much I depended on sound until I didn't have it and I'm really lost without it.
I'm also having problems with Homestead. Homestead is who I have my website Gone-ta-pott.com with, so for those of you who visit my site each week to see the newsupdates.... (like Surfing News & Updates) will not see any new information because Homestead is down right now. That means that I cant get to my website to update and publish the pages. It is going to make me really behind and I will loose a bit of money from this but there is no choice in the matter. I have to say that I've been pretty lucky with Homestead though. This is the first time in 3 years that I've ever had a problem with it.
I haven't been putting my attention into Auto-Surfing at all this month. I hear that e-businessonline.com sold and since I can't hear anybody else newscast I'm a bit out of the loop. I haven't had much time for reading because my main focus is always on Halloween for the month of October because believe or not the month of October and November are the months that I make the most money with my website each year. I usually have to put everything else on the backburner until I get passed the fall rush. I think the reason why this is, is because I have a really large Halloween Directory. -Because of the high cost of medicine these days, many people are researching "Natural Healing" so I've added a "Healing" section to the Directory that is getting a rush of hits right now. Interesting to say but because of the up count of the Wicca religion, my "Witch" pages are on the up as well. I expect that these two sections will continue to get above average hits all throughout the year. At least that's what my prediction is.
Another reason why these sections are so big is because it's fall and I have a huge fall "Recipe" section of pumpkin recipes and spooky Halloween party recipes. These pages are only popular in October and November though.
Before I sign off I would like to send out a big congrats to PamelaJ who I work with. She is a grandmother for the first time! I would also like to say.... Melanie you better think about me while your relaxing and sipping those tropical drinks on the cruise ship girlie!
Happy Halloween Everyone!

Hi Everyone,
It's getting harder and harder for me to keep up all my links on my website..... all my emails and all the updates on all the pages that have to be made. Just having the time to write in my blog is quite a chore in itself. hahaha! I'm really glad to have the day off from my day job today so I could work on it.
Making Money With the Internet
Well it looks like CommandBravo is getting a lot of attention here lately. They seem to be talked about in a lot of locations on the Internet. In a good way that is. I checked out Jakes #26 Newscast and it was a good one. I guess his wife is going to be a regular visitor in it now. I also checked out Todds newscast today as well. It was his 1st one and it was good too. He had 2 spooky skull heads on each side of his desk as his .... mascots I guess. I also watched SSM Newscast #1. Mannnnnn I think were racking up on people doing newscasts now. Hey! Sounds good to me! I really like watching them myself. I haven't had time to listen to Freds podcast lately. I will try and work that in sometime tomorrow. He is such a pro at it I just love to hear him. If you want the links to them just go to my Surfing News and Updates page where I've listed them. It seems Denalisurf.com is another surf site that's getting a lot of attention too. I see that DailyROI is no longer a single program. Its now going to be referred to as the xROI. They have hyiproi, monthlyroi and roixtreme is the latest. I see that 15hitsdaily is still saying vote vote vote!! LOL! They put that in most of their emails. And lets see..... last but not least, I have not been paid by dadndaves or alientrust as of yet.
Catsville
Batman the cat has got in the habbit of biteing butt. Not the other 6 cats butt but, but my butt!!!! Dang that was a lot of but words wasn't it. I had to re-read it to make sure I put the right amount of them in the sentence. lol. Anyway, my Batman wants attention all the time and when he does he bites. The weird thing is that he doesn't bite your ankle, leg or arm like the other cats do. He bites your butt. If your sitting down in a chair he will go to any length to wiggle between you until he can touch your butt with his teeth and then he bits it. Ouch! He then looks up at you really fast and give a quick meow every single time.
On the Home Front
Stephen flew back home from his business meeting in Atlanta. He said he had a great time. It has cooled off a lot outside but it's still not cool enough to turn off the air conditioner. The nights are nice but the days are still very hot. I'm looking forward to Halloween and Im dragging out the decorations tomorrow.
New page on website
I've added a few new pages to the website. Here they are if your interested. healingchickennoodlesoup - pumpkin recipes - candlecolormeanings.
That's it for now friends. Its after midnight and it's time to get some sleep. Take Care Everyone.

Hello to everyone!
Itsssss meeee.... I'm back! Vacation is over now and it was nice to take a short visit back home to see the family in Alabama. Mother has a new puppy named Cocoa who is just adorable. Eddie and Alan (my brothers) are still working hard as usual. I can't actually say that much went on while we were there. I had all of about 2 hours with each brother because our visit was in the middle of the week so they were working. Mother was getting ready for the cold winter and we noticed that all the stores were getting ready for Halloween.
Money with the Internet
Well...... the last 2 weeks I haven't had much progress with making money with the Internet. I did take the computer to Mothers house with me but found that the only connection I could get was dial up and in the area I was in....... it was soooooooooo terriblyyyyyyyy slowwwwww! I tried to Auto-Surf but that was a waist because it just wouldn't load. It's just as well though because through my reading of different blogs, not much in the Auto-Surf Industry was going on at all. I found that many sites had closed and most surfers are taking a break from the surfing or at least slowing down with it until the Industry picks back up.
I watched the video clip of Jake from "Surfing Authority" and I saw where Todd was no longer doing the site with him. I guess Todd has started his own site now. I noticed also that Jakes wife has started being part of his news and is doing a bit of inspirational stuff as well.
I tried to check my website and at least place my sales banners on the pages but that was taking forever to load it too. I had no success at all with any of it so I gave up.
Yesterday I had a nice Google check in the mail. I do love it when those checks come in so I have to say that google is still working really well for me for my website.
Halloween
It's October everyone! I really love the fall season. Did you guys know that October is "National Dessert Month?" Yep it sure is! October and November means its pumpkin time too! hahaha! I really love pumpkin pies and did you know that you can put a layer of marshmallows in the bottom of a pumpkin pie, put the filling on top of the marshmallows and bake it. The marshmallows will come to the top of the pie and make it delishioussss! I always start cooking those pumpkin pies once October hits. Stephen lovessss pumpkin as much as I do so its a hit at our house. Now just so you know...... October is also "National Cookie Month" as well. That's why you always see so many Halloween Cookies at all the specialty shops. And all this time you thought it was just because it was Halloween didn't you. giggle~ No, really.... if you will notice you will find all kinds of special cookies in all the stores that your not able to find at other times of the year and it's all because it's National Cookie Month. I bet you didn't know that!
I have a Halloween Section in my website and each year I have to update it and get it ready for a new year. This year I've added 10 new pages that would be fun to read if your interested. Here they are- ---- Scavenger Hunt / Scarecrow / Halloween History / Witch / Ghosts / Spells / Potions / Traditions / Jokes / Safety Tips
Stephen has to dress up for Halloween at his work so he is trying to decide what he could be this year. My work does not allow dressing up for Halloween so I don't have to worry about it. This will be the first year that I don't get to dress up. :( how disappointing.
Catsville
The squirrels are working really hard right now getting ready for winter. They keep running up and down the fence with loads of nuts in their mouth and they are making many many trips of it. The cats are just going crazy watching them. They wish that they could catch one but they are in a fenced in area so they can't reach the fence. The squirrels like to stop near them and squeal. What a tease! ha ha ha!
Well that's all for now everyone! Happy National Cookie Month, happy dessets and as always Happy Halloween!
Pam
