The Snow Made Me Do It!

Although I know we don’t have as much snow as other parts of the country…

We’ve had more than our fair share of snow this year!!!

When we lived in the Denver area we expected and were ready for some significant snowfall. 12 inches – no problem. 24 inches slowed us down for a day. 36 inches and we might actually get a day off!

However here in southeast Kansas people don’t expect and aren’t ready for anything over an inch or so of snow. So the 3 inches we got last night to cover the 19 inches we got last week is just making us all a little crazy.

And by all I mean everyone and every thing. Even my dogs won’t venture off the sidewalks we did have cleared. One of them saw part of the street in front of the house a couple of days ago and barked at it since he had forgotten what the street looked like. And one of my cats sits and yells every time she looks outdoors. I guess she wants me to make the snow go away.

And since the schools have been closed for so long even the kids are bored with staying home. With the temperature way below freezing all the time they don’t want to go out and play in the white stuff and to quote them, “Daytime television sucks.”

So…

Since the streets are too bad to drive on and it’s too cold to go outside and play I’ve decided to rejuvenate the 2007 e-snowball fight.


I got you first!

Now…

Go out there and get as many people as you can,
before they get you!

P.S. If you want to throw a snowball back at me just leave a comment. I can take it.

Are You Good At Drinking Beer?

It’s said everyone is good at something and some people like Billy Currington and Tim Costello  think they are good at drinking beer.  Now not being a beer drinker myself I normally wouldn’t be impressed by someone telling me they were good at it however…

I am impressed with these 2 men.

Want to know why?

These 2 men found a way to take their talent to drink beer and turn it into a way to make money.

Want proof?

Well for all you non Country music lovers Billy Currington is an American Country music artist who has had eleven Top 40 US Country hits. In May of this year he released a new single, “Pretty Good At Drinkin Beer.” This song hit #1 on the the Country music charts this September.

As for Tim Costello, most of us have never heard of him however he is a self proclaimed beer drinker and the creator of MakeMoneyDrinkingBeer.com. According to his site, there are market research companies paying people to drink beer and answer some questions about it.

Can it be true? Will someone actually pay you to be good at drinking beer?

While I really don’t know the answer to these questions I do know there is market research going on all the time and, yes, sometimes they do pay you to participate. When I lived in Denver I was called several times to participate in market research studies and usually received $25 to $50  when I did.

As I said before, I’m not a beer drinker so I’m not looking for a way to make money doing it. But since there are a lot of beer drinkers online who may be looking for a way to at least pay for their drinks I thought I should at least mention MakeMoneyDrinkingBeer.com.

P.S. In case you’re wondering why I am not a beer drinker it’s because I never acquired the taste for it. And believe me I tried. When I was in college keg parties were popular and I worked really hard at both my studies and learning to appreciate beer. Fortunately my studying paid off .  However I failed miserably at being good at drinking beer.

How Men and Women Think

Filed under: Just For Fun — Tags: , , — SusanCarroll @ 9:49 am

Being an online marketer I have a Twitter account and 1 of the things I try to do everyday is read the tweets of those I follow.

Today while checking the tweets I was shown a video I just had to share. Of course the first thing I did was retweet the sender of the information because that’s the polite thing to do on Twitter. But then I thought I’d go ahead and post the video here so non-Twitterers could watch it too.

The title of the video is “Men’s Brains vs Women’s Brains” and it’s a hilarious description from Mark Gungor’s Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage Conference. It describes the difference between men’s and women’s brains when it comes to telling and remembering details (and everything else).

Now there is an ad at the bottom of the video however I am not endorsing him or his videos since I personally don’t know anything about either.

Watch the video because it does explain a lot and I think it’s really funny.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

To Your Success,
Susan

Old Dogs!!!

Filed under: Just For Fun — Tags: — SusanCarroll @ 10:51 am

My daughter sent this to me and being an old dog I just had to share.

I don’t know who wrote this cute parable and will gladly give credit to it’s creator if they send me their info.

*********************

Old Dogs

One day the old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost.
Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.


The old German Shepherd thinks, ‘Oh, oh! I’m in deep doo-doo now!’ Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, ‘Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I
wonder, if there are any more around here?’


Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. ‘Whew!’ says the leopard, ‘That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!’


Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes, but the old German Shepherd sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.


The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.


The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, ‘Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!


Now, the old German Shepherd sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, ‘What am I going to do now?’, but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says… ‘Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!


Moral of this story…


Don’t mess with the old dogs….. age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience..


If you don’t send this to five ‘old’ friend s right away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.


Of course, I am in no way insinuating that any of you are old, some are just more ‘youthfully challenged.’


You did notice the size of the print,
didn’t you?

*********************

I hope you got a chuckle out of this. I did.

To Your Success,
Susan
