Morning!

Today is the 4th of July, a time in America where evening fireworks light up the skyline, people enjoy the outdoor activities and peace and tranquility reign freely across the nation.

Oh, and the time where bunches of kids and adults alike blow themselves apart as well.  :(

A zany not-exactly-overprotective mom myself (my typical reaction to my kids being pummeled at karate, for example, generally is, "why didn’t you ask for more?"), I live in an area where fireworks are happily illegal.  I still do have lazy hazy memories of sparklers when I was a kid ("Mom!  Why can’t I hold them by the bright shiny end?") but for the most part, the 4th of July celebrations over here in LingLand consist Read more »

Why some online marketers hide the truth from you and what you can do about it

Beginners Make Money CookbookMorning!

I wrote the following, wow, hmmm….8 months ago?  And it’s still even more relevant today, what with tons of scammers trying to get your hard-earned dollars.  Please do feel free to stumble/share with your network.  — Barbara Ling


The following is excerpted from my 200+ page complimentary, Beginners Make Money Cookbook.  Hope you enjoy!

I want you to sit down (okay, you’re probably already doing that), close your eyes (after you read the next part, that is) and ask yourself

Painfully simple affiliate marketing tip from a Ninja Rubber Ducky

Ninja Rubber Duckie!Morning!

I’ll bet right now, this very instant, you’re pondering on the following critical life-changing question:

  • "If a moose fought my cellphone, who would win?"

I can understand you being driven batty by curiousity, which is why I’m here to tell you the answer - The Moose.  The cellphone would end up having approximately 17 (yes I counted) teeth marks in its casing.   Alas, the cellphone no longer works either but let me tell you - it makes for a great conversation piece at the karate dojo!

But I digress.  :)

Today I’d like to talk to you about a very simple affiliate marketing tip on ninja rubber duckies.  You know, the things like: Read more »

Are you voting for the MILF or unbuttoning the beast?

Vote for the MILFMorning!

It was with great amusement that I read about the site http://www.VoteForTheMILF.com - to wit!

…What a bizarre (and tawdry) series-of-tubes headache for the McCain campaign.

How could it be that a Web site titled "VoteForTheMilf" redirects users to Republican nominee John McCain’s official campaign Website? True stuff. Or at least it was until someone mysteriously un-directed the redirection.

As of just moments ago, anyone who typed "www.voteforthemilf.com" into his or her Web browser and hit enter was immediately redirected to McCain’s site, www.johnmccain.com, where vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin greeted first-time users via video. (The .net and .org versions of voteforthemilf also redirected users to the mccain campaign site.) …MORE…

Talk about funny!  Now, for those folks who never heard of this acronym before, "MILF" means Read more »

Does GOD practice Goju-ryu Karate or Aikido?

What God?

Morning!

So nice to see you visiting my blog!  How has your day been treating you?  Me, well, it looks like my right foot has finally decided to revoke its secession from my body and actually consider healing itself; I can walk now with nary a problem (which means, yay, massive martial arts fun later on today!!). 

But I digress.  :)

Yesterday I had a most fascinating discussion with a fellow student regarding religion and God (or the gods, whatever floats your boat).  It turns out that one kid is currently in exploration mode, and wanted to know which God was Read more »

How to be smarter than everyone elseMorning!

And how are you today?  So nice that you stopped by my blog, I very much appreciate your presence.  Over here in LingLand, life is just dandy - the most magnificent sentence one can imagine has permeated my household (all together now:  "School STARTS in less than 3 weeks!") and finally (FINALLY!) my kids are appreciating just how easy they had it over the summer (I’m starting to wake them up at normal school times like 6am again).

But I digress.  :)

Today’s topic deals with a radio soap opera to which my dad and I used to listen back in the 80s.  It was called "Oakdale, Indiana", and focused upon lesbian registered Nurse So-and-so and her Read more »

Communication!Morning!

Ever have an insane desire to really communicate effectively with your spouse or loved ones…only to blurt out such charming commentary like:

It’s ALL YOUR FAULT I FEEL SO MISERABLE, YOU LOUSY S.O.B.!

 Admit it - you’re thinking to yourself, yep, my foot tasted mightly unappetizing during that time!  I had the BEST of intentions but somehow, the emotions swept me up and all I could consider was how I was feeling at that very moment and…. Read more »
