Dear Internet Marketing Expert…
December 27th, 2010
I am absolutely SICK. TO. DEATH. of getting ‘Let us help you get your website ranked in the search engines’ or ‘Do you wish you could increase your online leads?’ emails.
You are sending these emails to sites that are either already on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and every other search engine under the sun OR they are obviously CLOSED websites (I guess the big Under Construction graphic wasn’t obvious enough for you).
This tells me something about you and your services. You are apparently… 1) Desperate, 2) Incompetent, 3) Scammers, con artist, etc. and 4) Totally F@#king Stupid.
Since it came through the contact form on MY website I can’t report you in the normal way and label you as the spammer you are. Therefore….I am going to start a list. If you use the ‘contact us’ form on one of my websites you are going to be prominently displayed on this page for the whole world to see.
Additionally, I invite everyone else to share the names/email addresses of their spammers in the comments.
Let’s see how fast I can get YOU to page one on Google.

Merry (below average) Christmas
December 3rd, 2010
I’ve just discovered I’m a ‘below average’ Christmas spender.
I was killing some time tonight reading at a forum I frequent and ran across an article about Christmas spending. According to Gallup, the average American predicts they will spend $714 on Christmas gifts this year. From looking at their chart, apparently I’ve always been below average. WAY below. WTF?
Damn. All those years I thought I was doing good.
Being a single mother with four kids, I seldom bought anything other than necessities during the year and averaged spending maybe $25-$30 for each on their birthdays. So…I splurged at Christmas (or so I thought).
When they were smaller, I spent around $50 – $75 each. As they got older and their *toys* got a bit more expensive, I bumped up my spending to roughly $100 – $125 per kid. A couple of years ago, things were going pretty good so I went all out and spent almost $150 each. That year was proclaimed “The best Christmas ever”.
Little did they know, even the “best year ever” we didn’t quite make it to average. Cheated again. Just one more thing they can add to a long list of things to tell their shrinks some day.
[sigh]
Guess I better get busy and clear off the mantle to make room for my latest “Mother of the Year (NOT)” award. :)

Friday 56: God on a Harley
November 5th, 2010
The books scattered around our home can reveal a bit about our us; our likes and dislikes, jobs, interests, fears or desires, various phases we have gone through in our lives. What stories do your books tell?
Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Storytime With Tonya.
*Post a link along with your post back to Storytime With Tonya.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
This book was sent to me by a very good friend in hopes it would change my outlook on life like it did hers.

God on a Harley, by Joan Brady
Page 56, 5th sentence (bolded): ” ‘I know it isn’t easy,’ he whispered, ‘but it’s the only chance you’ve got if you want meaning and purpose in your life.’ I stood there mesmerized by this man who promised to show me the way to happiness. I wanted desperately to believe him, but I didn’t want to be disappointed anymore. ‘I won’t disappoint you this time, Christine,’ he whispered. His words fell on my heart like warm water on a block of ice, sending little rivulets of hope that streamed through my eyes.“ |

Don’t let the above passage misguide you – this is not a “love story” so to speak. At least not in the usual sense. I haven’t finished it yet, but so far it is having the effect she was hoping for…I think. :)
