Google Books

I just noticed the new beta feature that Google has to let users build their own library of books from their selection. This is really cool :) There seems to be a lot of stuff available. However, a lot of it is only as a preview. Here you get a portion of the book, but not all of it. While this is a draw back on certain more popular and authors, its not unreasonable. After all you can read a good part of the book then buy it. There isn't any reason why these authors have to give away everything.

Besides there are tons of really good books there in full versions that people can download for free! It's great :) Check out my library. It's still small, but has lots of good stuff. Who doesn't like George Orwell or F. Scott Fitgerald? I do wish I could've found more Edgar Allen Poe though. I really love his stuff. I did get Grimms Fairy Tales, Hans Christen Anderson, Alice in Wonderland and other classics added in. I haven't read most of these books in years. It'll be the perfect stuff to read during those boring meetings :)

LinkedIn

I'm also on LinkedIn if anyone there wants to add my to their network. You can find me here. I've got a couple of people networked to me, but not many yet. One from VMS and hopefully more from Gold Canyon soon :)

Gold Canyon Candles

Well, after a lot of searching around online and a ton of research, I've decided to get involved with the Gold Canyon Company. They sell fantastic candles, body, and home items. I just ordered by starter kits yesterday. I can't wait til it gets here!! I'm so excited :) So far today has been spent reading all about the company and starting my Gold Canyon Website: Julie's Wax Shop.

I really can't wait to get started on my first parties. If I sell $700 of product during the first month then my starter kit will be free! Plus, the money I'll make :) The website is really come in handy for this. Where I'm from is such a big area that I'm sure I'll be able to get repeat customers just because of the site. It'll just be so much more convenient for everyone. Customers who live far away won't have to wait for me to be able to schedule another visit to their area to get their candle fix! It's gonna be great!

As my business grows I'll also be sponsoring new demonstrators. The rewards and compensation plan that Gold Canyon offers is really nice. There are very few Gold Canyon demonstrators in Maine so I'm hoping to be able to meet reasonable goals fairly quickly. As long as I can get this business growing at a fairly decent rate I'll be more than happy. My ultimate goal is to be able to quit my current job and be my own boss :)

If you're looking for some great candles then now is the perfect time to check out Gold Canyons products. Just go to my site and look around. Right now you can get 25% off all products when you use promo code: MEMDAYWEB25. Shipping on the site is always just $5.95. They're the perfect thing for family and friends. Everyone enjoys a good candle :)

There are always opportunities for new demonstrators to sign up. Just click on join us and follow along with the instructions. My sponsor id is: 402802 and my last name is: St Thomas. Sign up now and you'll be holding your first party in no time!

Mlillsberry

Millsberry is down for repairs right now. Considering the amount of players Millsberry gets, they should never be down for repairs!! It's so frustrating. I'm trying to see if the yardsale I'm running is making any money.

Well, I couldn't resist the tempation anymore so I decided to join Twitter. My life is fairly boring so there's not that much to discuss there yet, but I'm working on it :) You can follow me if you like at @silver581.

Five Surgeons

Five surgeons from the country’s largest cities are discussing who makes the best/easiest patients on which to operate.

The first surgeon, from New York , says, “I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”

The second, from Chicago , responds, ”Yeah, but
you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded.”

The third surgeon, from Houston , says, “No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order”

The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles chimes in: “You know, I like construction workers…Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.”

But the fifth surgeon, from Washington , DC shut them all up when he observed: ”You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the ass are interchangeable.
