Jude’s Eclectic Resources

This is my second day of not smoking after over 40 years of nicotine and it’s very difficult even though I am using Chantix, which is expensive, but if it works for me then it’s well worth it. They recommend you use it for 12 weeks, but if these urges go away after the starter box is gone I may not go the full treatment. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this program though so it is worth a try.

I’ll be 55 this year so I’m ready to get rid of this habit finally and I have also for the time being cut out the cocktail hour. I started smoking when I was very young and it’s been my constant companion ever since. No one in Bill’s family smoke any more, but a few in mine do. I would like to enjoy a few smoke free years before I go to sleep permanently.

Bill and I want to do some traveling and check out the sights and eat some good food and just enjoy our retirement years. So now I can start saving all that cigarette money for retirement and fun. I was counting up all the money I have spent over the years just for cigarettes and I was shocked at the amount, but of course they were much cheaper in the 60’s.

We have decided that we will just live here instead of moving and taking on a mortgage since everything is paid for. We have to pay house taxes of course and utilities, but other than that not much more so I’m sure we’ll survive and I do not want to become disabled since strokes and heart attacks do run in my family so I guess It finally sank in about my old age health.

I hope to never become fanatical about not smoking and have the urge to preach the evils to those that do because I know for a fact that everyone already knows the damage we do to our bodies. Smokers really don’t have rights any more, but as far as I see it everyone has the right to choose for themselves, when they are of age, of course and can make an informed opinion. If you have quit smoking I would love to hear from you.

I downloaded Windows Live One Care and so far it has done a very good job for me. I will probably end up getting a yearly subscription after the 3 month trial period is over. I blocked McAfee and have tried to even delete it, but there is no uninstall program so I have blocked it for the time being and my computer has been noiseless ever since.

I was complaining about the whirring noise awhile back and thought it was getting ready to blow up, so I took it apart and cleaned it and it was okay for awhile then started again so I got rid of Zone Alarm and it was okay again, but started back. Then I started deleting programs left and right and every time I would get rid of some unnecessary program it would be good then start again.

It was driving me nuts or if I’m honest nuttier and I was getting ready to pitch it. I then decided to try the one care and got rid of all those virus protecting programs except the one I mentioned above and I have not had one peep out of this machine since, so now I guess I need to get in touch with McAfee and let them explain how to get rid of this stupid program of theirs. As I’ve mentioned before I’m not very technical.

Every day someone somewhere starts a new business, whether it’s on the Internet or a brick and mortar business. If we are selling a new product then something that may be overlooked or not even thought about are product labels. I even at one point thought about buying generic champagne to supply for wedding parties with advance notice I could then have special labels for the couple printed and applied.

I wasn’t sure of all the legal aspects so I just let that idea slide right on by. I know over the years I have come up with a lot of ideas, but for whatever reason they just weren’t feasible. Regardless of the type of business whether it’s Health and Beauty, Food and Beverage, Industrial, Medical, Promotional or Commercial your probably going to need your own label branding.

I know just the place that has more than 20 years of experience that can help you, it’s called Label World and they are located in Rochester, NY and they specialize in the above named fields. They don’t print small quantities though, like 20 special wine labels for your wedding this company is for larger orders for your business and they would be more than happy to discuss anything with you.

Have you ever considered starting a winery? When I lived in California I had a friend that was going to try starting one up, he and his family even had a special grape that they were planning to use, but I never once heard them speak of the Wine Label they were going to use for their wines because we all know if you have a business a label needs to catch the eye and look appealing. So whatever you do be sure and don’t overlook this very important part of your business.

There are so many scam programs on the Internet that people simply have stopped trusting anyone and I can’t say that I blame them. Marketers also promise get rich schemes and because we want to earn money from home we fall right into most of these scams because it’s something we desperately want to believe in and then when each one is shown for what it really is we have such a feeling of loss even though we knew deep down it wasn’t going to work.

There are a lot of legitimate programs out there that have been proven to be effective. A few I have found that worked for me, but lately I have been typing about programs that haven’t worked for me or programs that someone has told me about that are simply started to make a few quick bucks and then thrown away leaving those that participated out of money, time, and hope.

I don’t know if anyone has ever heard of the ppc appraisal program where you leave your computer on and earn money by running a browser, well if you did then you know it was a scam that got switched over to a site called Dequba where you had to join other programs which were mostly adult sites and get a link and then add it to a browser called Ougo.

You would then run those links for credits and the idea was that you would be helping smaller search engines to get noticed and also earn credits that you could sell. That was not a good idea because for one if you had children you ran the risk of your child seeing porn plus you could easily infect your computer. Well, needless to say that was also a scam and they have closed that site down also.

This is just one of many that has come and gone and the best thing that I can recommend to avoid getting caught up in these unsavory programs is to do your research and to always remember that if it sounds too good to be true, then chances are that it is. Even though we don’t like to admit it, some humans are motivated by greed and believe in luck to bring them everything they desire.

In reality the people that make the big bucks worked hard to get where they are so it’s very unfair to try and sell dreams and hopes to beginning marketers without telling them of all the pitfalls ahead of them. Read some of the bigger forums and do a search for any program you might be interested in and there are even sites that report scams that they run across so others wont get involved. One such site is scambusters.org , they will keep you up to date.

Give to get marketing has been around a very long time. Marketers give you something free like a report or software in order to get your name and e-mail address and the opportunity to try to sell you something. I don’t market to a list because I don’t like all of the e-mail I get myself and as mentioned before in another post I have even unsubscribed from many newsletters.

However today I want to try the give to get method because I need traffic for my blog. I know that many of you need traffic also and with the program below all we have to do is get other people to sign up below us. This has worked for others because it is still around and I see it everywhere, so I am ready to make it work for me.

I haven’t had much luck with the social sites, I might get 1 or 2 every now and then, but not much. I was surprised last weekend when my craft site got hit by Stumbleupon I think that was the most traffic there in a month with everyone else combined and the majority actually looked at several pages so that was nice. I would like to get that kind of traffic here.
