Glory!

Moving the blog to www.janinewiggins.com.  This blog is taking up too many resources on the Precious and Pleasant server.  It will no longer be called “Glory” but will just be on the front page of www.janinewiggins.com until I decide to change the site.  Enjoy!

Well, most of you don’t comment anyway (most of you just email me), but I’ve finally had to turn the comments off if you aren’t logged in.  this is because I’m getting 5-10 spam comments every day.  Sorry.  If you want to comment, please log in.

Another Joke From The Potomac Runners Newsletter:

A young boy entered a barber shop, and the barber whispered to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.” The barber put a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then called the boy over and asked, “Which do you want, son?” The boy took the quarters and left. “What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!” Later, when the customer left, he saw the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. “Hey, son. May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?” The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game’s over.”

A joke from my run club newsletter (Potomac Runners):

A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the family car. His father took him into his study and said, “I’ll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study the Bible a little, get your haircut and then we’ll talk about it.” After about a month, the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. They again went into the father’s study where the father said, “Son, I’ve been very proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you’ve studied the Bible diligently, but you didn’t get your hair cut.” The young man waited a moment and then replied, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that. You know Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair.” The Minister smiled and said, “Yes, and everywhere they went, they walked.

Watch out, and protect yourself as much as you can:

Know the tune, but can’t remember the words?  Try this site- you can hum (or sing) a few bars and it will try to find the song for you.  Not much gospel though, but you can sing into their system, and be listed as one of their performers.  Fun!

This one’s been around, but bears repeating:

This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want. Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself. 

One of our employees was called on Wednesday from “VISA”, and I was called on Thursday from “Master Card”.  Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know how “new” it is, but B-File is new to me!  You can go online, enter your sales, and pay your sales tax with your checking account information. 

This is SO much more convenient than the Oklahoma Online Filing system that still required me to mail in payment (I understand it now accepts credit cards too).  Fortunately for me, aside from myself, I rarely had Oklahoma customers, and in Oklahoma out-of-state sales did not require payment of state sales tax.

Check out Rip-Off Report.  This site is slow, and full of extra junk, but some good info.  Good place to check into a company before doing business. I’m still thinking about selling Avon, and was suprised at what I saw.  Of course, I just want the Avon at a discount, not to make money.  I tell you what, if I could get a few friends to give me guaranteed orders (about $20/month between all of them), I would sign up today.   :-)
