This morning saw me up nice and early at 3am…it was the perfect time for me to write up some nifty affiliate marketing goodies like:

Around 5:30am or so, sanity kicked in and I figured that Jeepers self, sleep would be a good thing indeed!  The husband was already up and about, and I tried to fall asleep once again.

Why you should value women and MILFs over 40

Women over 40!Hi all,

This just came across my radar, courtesy of another fantastic 40-something mom.

And I quote:

In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:

60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, ‘What are you thinking?’  She doesn’t care what you think. 

If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it.  She does Read more »

Dealing with Grown Up Adult Bullies

No Bullies!Morning all,

Yesterday I had quite the fascinating chat with Honorable Daughter II.  Seems that she has the unmitigated joy (on par with that derived from tongue-cleaning a Superbowl toilet bowl) of dealing with a kid in her school who takes the art of annoying behaviors to a level at which Robin Leech would swoon!

Thus, before packing in the kids and the mooses for Advanced karate, I sat down with her and had a serious talk.  She kept focusing upon how "he made her feel"….

...that is, until I pointed out that by choosing that reaction, she was choosing to GIVE him power over her hours AFTER the school day had ended.

You see, while all of my kids are magnificent beyond belief, this particular child of mine Read more »

I love it when YOU cry - the benefits of 4 decades of life.

CryingMorning!

You know, I’m really a big believer in fate and destiny and all that nifty neat thingees that I personally believe govern our actions.

Sure, folks might say…you can always change your destiny, but I think, should that happen…it occurs because your destiny WAS to change.  :)

Being the all-powerful Matriarch of the Ling family, raising my kids, making money online, helping fellow entrepreneurs, etc….all of the above have helped me realize one blazingly cold stark fact of life.

And it’s this: Read more »

On choosing critical friendship priorities

Quality friendshipsMorning all,

Have you ever had really important work your own important to accomplish….and then realized, other friends are counting on you as well?

This situation was brought home to me yesterday when I was decompressing from the joys of an 18hour-a-day workweek and the Fri/Sat garage sale.  I’m currently in Get Product Launch Ready mode…and my days are filled with everything required for that including: Read more »

When your child thinks he’s dumb - buy a clue!

Lingstar LearningHi all,

Yes indeed, today is yet another Insane Work Day that started at 3am!  However, the good news is….I’m actually in my groove and still am entirely coherent!  Did a tremendous amount of work and feel really good about it too.

But I digress!  :)

You know, it’s funny how kids can be.  Long long ago, back when my youngest girl was 4.8, I took it upon myself to teach her how to read.  I had mistakenly thought that Read more »

Woefully sighing over closed doors

Closed Doors

Morning!

Oh wow, was yesterday ever so much fun!  I had the pleasure of attending our karate dojo’s demostration and presentation for our local Community Day!  As the unofficial photographer of my dojo, I took bleeploads of pictures and a great many of them turned out magnificent.  I always enjoy printing them out on 8.5×11" paper and handing them to the parents; my photography skills are improving greatly.  

But I digress!

The fine art of beating yourself up

Angst!

Morning!

Well, yesterday was quite the interesting character-building time for me.  Actually, for the most part, it was quite enjoyable - got lots of writing done, taught my kids some snappy comebacks to idiot sayings, saw the final printout of the first brochure I’ve ever designed (and I’ll confess - that was sweet)….life was most peachy until my beloved adult sparring.

For there:

In a word, my skills were less optimal than, oh, lessee, a drunk moose playing DDR with his caribou buds. 

Bleh.  I’ve haven’t been that incompetent now for over a year; I have no idea to where my mind went during the bout.  And afterwards, I couldn’t even leave (welll, of course I COULD, I chose not to, as the karate demo team was practicing and I always take pictures).  So for the first 10 minutes, I dwelled on how truly lousy 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 »

How to destroy relationship abuse

NoAbuseMorning!

Today is Sunday!  A day of rest, unless your last name is Ling!  :)  I have lots on my plate today including writing, revamping my RISE site, challenging the kids in DDR and more.  Hah!  And folks think I have no life…hah! 

But I digress.

Today’s thought of the day deals with the dank seamy underbelly of relationships…that of abuse. 

Now, I’m not talking merely about Read more »
