I AM SO EXCITED THAT THERE FINALLY IS A VIDEO TO GO TO THIS AMAZING SONG! ANYONE WHO HAS GONE THROUGH THIS TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP CAN RELATE TO THE SONG! I HAD TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF MY FELLOW BLOGGERS/READERS. HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY!!
Whether you are shopping for yourself, your children or siblings back to school is pure mayhem!!I have been paying attention to ads, flyers, etc.. for "Back to School" sales and promos. The only problem is there are only flyers for major department stores. The newest fad in fashion seems to be aimed at "skaterwear". What I mean by that is clothing that skaters wear (like Tony Hawk). When watching X games and so on kids see the participants wearing expensive clothing(surely they did not buy it, the clothes are given to them to advertise to the viewers and get people shopping for their brands). I am sorry but a backpack for back to school should not cost $50.00 to 60.00 dollars plus taxes!! That's insane! I can understand certain brand names cost more but it seems the pricing is a bit Hollywood. What parents can afford to buy that? Ok, I guess if both parents work $80,000/year jobs and only have 1 child, then that's not too bad. However, with 3 children, that comes to 150.00 dollars before taxes for BACKPACKS????I don't think so!! If I allow this I am only looking at a future of $200/jeans per child as well!! So I guess this year will be the last year I buy back to school clothes for the teens. If they want the expensive clothes, I GUESS THEY WILL NEED TO GET A JOB TO BUY THEM!!As for my youngest child, they do not seem to mind the name brands(or lack of) on their clothing. So for now I leave you with this. I will continue to find the deals on the name brands and put away for Birthdays and holidays. I guess this is the end of my rant….for now.

This Summer is did my co-op placement at Skills for Success Niagara. They are a non profit organization strictly funded by the Regional Municipality of Niagara. They offer a 3 week program for Customer Service/communication Skills Employment Program. It is a program that teaches basics computer skills. They use the most current computer programs. Once the program is finished they are given follow up assistance. If they need help with interview prep, cover letters, faxing, job searching etc… Each individual has one on one time with the counselors. This enables them to be able to do mock interviews in preparation for the real thing! The participants also receive their WHIMIS training(free of charge through the St.Catharines YMCA program). Currently the agency has a 88% success rate. What I mean by that is that of all graduates 88% retained and secured employment. The agency focuses on job search for each participant based on their past experience and skills learned. I really enjoyed working there and I still continue to volunteer my time. Due to funding cuts this past year the agency is looking for partnerships with other agencies. Want more Information? http://www.skillsforsuccessniagara.com

People say that sex sells and I guess that’s why it’s all over the media! The only problem is that it gives unreal expectations from both partners in a relationship. It’s unfair that these images are all over the media( radio, advertisements, billboards, t.v, commercials, magazines etc..) children think they need to look a certain way to get their perfect partner. Looking at the different cultures globally I can understand why they do certain rituals and have specific clothing. Our culture wears next to no clothing(leaving little to the imagination or boudoir) and then in the Muslim culture, they are covered from head to toe, literally. No matter how much or little sex people are having they always seem to want more. If they don’t then they are usually getting their satisfaction elsewhere. I just don’t get it? For people who have children, the second the child is not around we want to breathe, not have sex! Sex is supposed to be magical, romantic and euphoric not a chore or obligation. I am not saying that spontaneous sex is not awesome but if all you do is have sex, won’t it get boring? I know I know, there are many ways to make sex more interesting however, after all those positions/role-playing games are done you are still just left you and your partner. So, I guess when you first hook up with someone you shouldn’t have sex so that down the road, you can’t be told well, you used to, so what’s your problem now? A little bit of space and time(weather time together or apart), some cuddling with no intention of sex. Things that people do to one another such as take their partner for granted, seem so little and trivial. Yet I am sure every woman out there would agree with me that maybe if we had more help with the house and children we might have a little more energy for extra curricular activities.(lol!) Having a date night at least once every 2 weeks if possible helps as well. Gets you both out of the house, together and sometimes costs next to nothing. You can even just go for a walk to a coffee shop or friends house. I don’t understand it, and I don not think that I ever will! For instance, I read in a magazine the other day that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are expecting their 7th child!!! You know these people have nannies because with 6 children when do you find the time? When you have money I guess that it is different. But, for most of us common folk, by the time the children are in bed we are done! If your lucky enough to have a child that naps in the day you might get lucky enough to get a nooner, otherwise then that, I doubt it. lol. Anyways, the next time you want to complain, nag or harass your partner about sex or the lack of sex ask yourself, "what can I do to help them out during the day to not make them as tired?". Just a thought, well I should say, Just a rant! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Enjoy your New Years!

I am telling my story so that no one else gets ripped off!
Last week while going through my hotmail account, I noticed something interesting, yet peculiar. As I read the message title "Here are your Rapid Share Account details", I wondered what the hell is Rapid Share? Interesting enough the message gave me my account details for a rapid share account that I had apparently signed up to via Pay pal. I immediately checked my Pay pal account to see that there was a charge for $54.00(euro’s), which translates to $88.00 Canadian dollars!!! My Pay pal stated that it had returned the charge as they suspected third party use of my Pay pal account. My account had a"limited usage" status. As I looked into this, now I had to prove who I am because someone hacked my Pay pal. So, I submitted all the required documentation and waited. Through several e-mails with Pay pal they stated that it was being investigated and that the charges would be reversed. Well, the $88.00 dollars had been debited from my bank account, even though I only had $45.00 in it. So, there was an overdraft charge along with many others, and now I am over $50.00 in the RED! I owe the bank money! So, let me get this straight! My account gets hacked, Pay pal allows an unauthorized transaction, my bank gives them the money and charges me for it. So, I wrote Pay pal, they suggest I print a copy of the e-mail from Paypal and bring it to my bank, they should credit the fees back. Ok, so where is my money? It has been 10 days(paypal takes 10 days to investigate) and my money still has not been returned to my bank! That money that was in the account was for groceries(odds and ends for my family). No one at the bank or Pay pal gives a crap or cares! Pay pal has stopped writing/replying to my e-mails. So, today I will send them another e-mail(makes about 7 or 8 now). Maybe by the time August is over I will have my money. Pay pal did include a list of things to do to prevent it in the future. But, what about now?? I wait, I guess, but if I owed that money to Pay pal or the bank, they would have wanted it 10 days ago! This all happened July 18th, now on July 29th I am no further ahead, and I am deeper in debt to the bank. So, here are some tips, so you don’t get screwed out of your money!
#1. Change your Paypal Password frequently
#2. Don’t give it to anyone
#3. Do not store bank passwords or Pay pal passwords on your computer (Roboform), all a hacker has to do is hack the main password and voila, they now have access to all your important passwords.
#4. If you suspect an unauthorized charge, report immediatelyt and retain all e-mail correspondance(becasue some representatives forget to notate things in their system, leaving you , the victim of internet crime, lookinng like this was the first time you contacted the company.
#5. If it seems to good to be true, it is!
#6. Check e-mails carefully becasue their are phishing sites that have the header of Paypal on the e-mail but once clicked you are brought to another site!
~BE suspicious of any e-mails you receive stating welcome or thanks for joining when you have never heard of the site.~~
P.S. Once my funds are transfered into my bank acount I will be closing my Pay pal for fear it may happen again in the future. I checked online and this has happened before to others, and it was Rapid Share who did it. So, is it a hacker who likes to download illegal movies and music or is it someone at Rapid Share wanting to make commissions? I don’t know, but from now on I will keep a close eye on both my e-mail and my bank account!!

I was in the midst of surfing this evening. The weirdest thing happened when I clicked on the flashing surprise prize button. The page that came up stated that the site was suspended. I figured there was an error with the members page I would try to report the site but, no luck. It kept redirecting me to the same page over and over again. Finally, I closed the tab and tried again. I was not able to log in because, you guessed it, the site was suspended. I realize that accidents happen, as it has happened to me in the past but, bandwidth seems to be an issue., I have noticed with newer traffic exchange sites that on the week-ends their bandwidth allocation exceeds their allowance. It is almost as though no one ever expects to exceed the "recommended bandwidth" offered from the various hosts. Regardless, I just thought that I would blog about it to let everyone know that it is not you, it is the site. I do not worry it is only a temporary issue. Keep trying to log in. My luck it is up and running before I even get this posted to my blog! LOL! On the positive side~that’s my sense of humor, lol!
Have a great night and I will give it a go in the morning,(that is to try to surf again at Hawaiian hits if ya didn’t know what I meant).

Hello Again!!
I have been very preoccupied this past week. I was trying to make a list of all the Traffic Exchanges I belong to(which took forever)! So, I have pulled together all of my url’s and placed them here for all to see! Simply click the url and you will go to the site. It is an inexpensive(free) way to advertise your web site regardless of what your site is about. Drive thousands of visitors to your sites with Traffic Exchanges. In the near future, I will be adding blogs in regards to Text exchanges, Ad exchanges, and solo-mails. With all the different sites I belong to the surf ratio’s vary. Some are 1:1 surf ratio while some are 6:1 surf ratio.(surf ratio is the amount of traffic you generate by viewing other members sites) 3:1 ratio is you surf 3 sites to have your site viewed once. Not so appealing to the eye but, I advertise everywhere because the bonuses add up to 1:1 ratio’s if not better. You win prizes and cash as well. All for FREE! The Url’s in RED text are horror movie themed Traffic Exchanges. I am a huge horror/thriller/suspense movie critic and if you are to many those sites are for you!
