I Think It’s Time To Give Up

Posted by Holly on Jun 30, 2008 under personal

Today I called my insurance company to find out if I had coverage for a full cranial prosthesis, pretty much a very nice expensive wig. I have to wear one as I have scarring alopecia and really don’t have a choice if I want to go out in public without people staring or getting grossed out. I should have known better then to get my hopes up. Once again I wanted something and now I can’t have it. They told me it’s not covered.

I had also decided a yesterday that I would pay off some bill instead of get a laptop. Well my computer once again reminded me why I need one as it crashed yet again because of the bad video card. Unfortunately I can’t take out the card as then the computer does not run well at all, pretty much no internet for me if I remove the card.

So now I’m back to getting the laptop, that yes I still want, but I want the house more, I can’t get the house unless I can improve my credit score. The score that was okay 2 days before I called on the mortgage, but spiraled downward when I tried to apply. Apparently they have updated the scoring method because nothing has changed on any of my reports.

I’m thinking it’s time to give up and realize I will be paying almost $600-800 a month to get to school as I can’t even rent a place because of my credit. I just don’t understand how that works I can pay that much to get to school, but I can’t pay a $200 mortgage? I guess it’s just time to give up on everything, I may even have to quit school. How fun is that?

Dreaming Of A Vacation

Posted by Holly on Jun 29, 2008 under personal

I’m finding myself daydreaming a lot about getting away from here for a while. While European cruises and Caribbean getaways sound great, they will never happen to me as it just cost way too much. So I put up a nice tropical desktop and hoped that it would be enough.

I know everyone right now is worried about money. No one has any and now they are talking $7 gas by winter. It’s crazy! At the same time I’m hoping people will see that we need to stop depending on oil and other countries for things. I’m just hoping I can move before it goes up. I’m not looking forward to $800 a month, just to get to school, not all of that is gas, but because I’m diabetic and have to have at least 2 snacks and a meal out 3 days a week, it’s expensive.

Buying My Laptop

Posted by Holly on Jun 29, 2008 under business, computers, personal

I’m still trying to decide what laptop to get. I have a great hp picked out at walmart.com, but at the same time a friend of mine is trying to talk me into getting a dell. She said that upgrading the dell memory is cheep and easy, since I would have to upgrade it for what I will need it for, but I have heard some bad things about dell.

I don’t know I have an Hp now and I love it, it works great and only has problems because I got a bad video card when I upgraded it myself. Other then that it runs fine. I guess I have some thinking to do.

Soon It Will Come

Posted by Holly on Jun 27, 2008 under personal

Next week I should be able to get my laptop and pay off my $900 cell phone bill. Nice huh, the great part about student loan refunds. The best part is it helps fix my credit along with helping me with school. See when I move I’m still going to be doing online classes, so I will need internet. I’m thinking of just getting a card though my cell phone carrier and going that way. Since I’ll need it when I’m on the go it will work better then trying to find a hot spot.

I’m excited and I hope to of course pay off a few other things, Right now though I have to pay my car insurance and the internet bill at my mom’s. So that takes up some income right now. But I should still be able to make good progress. Hopefully that house will still be available!

Sell Advertising On Your Website

Posted by Holly on Jun 27, 2008 under business, money, website review

I love seeing good advertising on websites, it makes me think that they actually care what is on their page and how they are represented. I know for a fact it can be hard to get good advertisers to actually pay to be on your site directly and that is why I useĀ affiliate management services to do this. The best part about affiliate networks is that it is easy to get good well known products, services and websites on your site. Of course then the hard part of getting people to buy things though those site begins but thats for another post.

I have found for me that my affiliate networks work the best on my design blog. I don’t make much off of it, but I do get many clicks and interested people. I know right now many people just don’t have the money for the extras, but knowing that they are still interested in them is a good thing for future references. Overall I like affiliate marketing. It adds to the look and feel of my blogs and I hope makes my blogs look more professional.

I am going to fail my class

Posted by Holly on Jun 27, 2008 under Rants, personal

Well I have decided that my math teacher is a Bitch. Yep I said it, she is a bitch. Apparently if you don’t have a math problem in your response to something it is not a meaningful post. So I am now going to fail this class because she is an incompetent fool.

She never said what she actually considered a decent post. She didn’t help anyone until it was too late, really I’m not impress and tempted to contact the school and ask for my money back. I don’t feel that she is a good teacher for an online class. There were many first time online students who had no idea what to do as she just assumed everyone had taken an online class.

I really needed to pass this class and now I just don’t see it happening. I just don’t know what to do. I can’t drop it now without paying for the whole thing. I’m waiting for her response as to why my post are bad and if she can’t give me a good response I guess I’m going to have to go into a huge argument with the school.

Oh and again never ever go to Baker Collage, they suck. The only reason I’m still there is that my credits won’t transfer anywhere else.

Making Money And Doing Too Much

Posted by Holly on Jun 27, 2008 under Uncategorized

I’m starting to think I have spread myself too thin. I now have 6 blogs, two new ones which I don’t do much on anymore and one that I post on sometimes but I like it so I want to keep it. I love blogging but I think the 2 new ones were just too much. The one I started so that I could write my poetry and all that. I may just post the rest of the poems I have and leave it until I feel like writing more. At least until next year when the domain is gone, then I’ll decide. The other I put up in place of my failed forum for something to have on there so that will be gone in a few months.

The sad part is, even though I’m thinking I’m spreading myself thin, I keep wanting to start a new forum, this one would either be a get paid to forum or just a regular forum with contest and maybe some revenue sharing, if I can find someone to set it up cheep or free (with a perk of free advertising “hint people”)

I wish I had the money to pay someone, I just don’t have that much extra right now. Maybe I can play with it and get it going. I just don’t know that much about php. I guess I may have to learn right. I just hope I’m not taking on too much. I know I’ll have help with the forum as there is a great group that I miss from Cash buddy cafe that is now not running.

I may try and see what I can do. Hopefully I can get it to work out okay.
