Leno Bombs First Night on Prime Time
I like Leno, always have. So I was excited to know that he would be on prime time and I would have to stay up all night to see him.
I was anxious to see his new show. I knew he would use some of his old features but I expected a good show Leno Style.
But the first show stunk, Seinfeld and all.
However, it will not be a complete disaster because Leno is a showman. He will stay up late tonight trying to fix what went on tonight.
So, I'll give him a try again tomorrow.
Letterman is getting better but I don't want to stay up that late.
Leno was competing with a football double header. That is were I ended up after the first forty minutes.
Good Luck to Jay!

Letterrep in Trouble
Letterrep.com is a needed service providing special letters to those who need them. The client asks for a letter and a writer submits a letter to the site. If the letter is chosen then or ever, the writer gets paid.
In the past the payments have been made quickly. It has been a source of some income to writers and it helps those who need the letters.
The letters are from students, those in trouble in some way, professionals, etc. You would be surprised who writes to receive a letter. Medical doctors ask for letters. College professors ask for letters. But the letters I like to write are for those in trouble or need special help and are not able to write a particular letter.
Now Letterrep.com is in trouble. They are suspending payments to writers until things get better for them. If we keep supporting Letterrep.com and if they do get back on track, they will survive by other actions they are taking.
Let's support Letterrep.com by writing for them without the guarantee of pay.

Funeral First! Business Second!
I wrote a lens on Michael Jackson. In my update today I criticized legal activities and other actions that I think are premature.
I say, have Michael Jackson's funeral first. There will be plenty of time for the other stuff later.
Let Michael Jackson Rest in Peace!
I also suggest that the Jackson siblings prepare a world tour to honor their brother.
That will be the best tribute possible.

Have Things Slowed Down for Internet Marketers?
Have you noticed a turn down in your Internet Marketing? I sell Flagpoles at http://www.aaaflagpoles.com and things seem normal there but my affiliate links from article writing activities are not bringing in the dough.
People are buying on the net but they are looking for needs. I buy clothing and such but I'm not buying much else. People are being more careful with their money.
So, what are you seeing?

One Year this Month at Wealthy Affiiate University
One year ago this month, I joined Wealthy Affiliate University. I haven't learned all that is available there, but I have learned the fundamentals of making money on the Internet.
I may not have moved as fast as some of the other students. I thought I knew more than I actually knew. So I made some mistakes that a newbie would not have made.
It is an old hang up for me. I would rather teach than learn at times. I spend a lot of time helping new members, some of which ended up helping me.
Kyle and Carson put up with me all year. Finally, Kyle told me to take a break from helping members to help myself. He said that then I would be much better at helping the new members.
So, I went back over what I had done, started correcting errors (which I am still doing) and started promoting more products by article writing.
I was doing PPC but Kyle told me to concentrate omn article writing for now. PPC does take some concentration.
Anyway, I was using PPC to sell my flagpoles but I'm selling them without PPC now. It is cheaper but not as fast.
Anyway, although the average stay at WAU is about 5 months, I'm going to be there for another year if I don't die in the process. I will be renewing my membership next week.
The membership actually costs me nothing. It pay for its self. But I do save $10 / month on the tuition by signing on for a full year.
If you are new or old to Internet Marketing you could greatly benefit from WAU.
Why not join ME today! When you join, find me as ID tjbooks amongst the members.

What's Grandpa Jones Cooking Up?
Nothing but wind here in Idaho right now. The neighbor's cows are flying past my window. Well, no matter! The price of milk is lower than a earthworm's hole.
I'm still doing the cooking around here. My wife retired from cooking 15 years ago when I retired from doing whatever engineers do. She does whip me up some French toast once in a while. I don't like to eat before about 2-3:00 P.M. which she thinks is unhealthy. You know, the Good Breakfast theory. Snakes eat once a month! Look how loonnnnngggg they live.
Do you know anybody that likes liver and onions? Sometimes men do. The only way they can get it is to go out for it. They usually have to call the eatin' joint first to make sure they have it that day.
I think liver is the most vile stuff. In fact, because I've had heart surgery twice and have the aortic valve of a benevolent hog, it is on my forbidden food list.
When I was a boy, I learned to eat liver. It was the only way I could get enough meat. My mother's liver was like shoe leather because she knew you should try to cook it to death, anything to destroy it. But dad liked his liver and onions. My six siblings hated it. But I knew that if I could only learn to eat it, like it or not, I could get enough meat that one day. So, I just started eating it. Ugh!
My friend, Don, runs the local market. He puts outdated stuff in these carts and you can grab things at half price. There are always some good sauces in there good for marinating things. Sauces have expiration dates on them, but don't they just get better with age? You can't hurt noodles either and most of the other stuff in Don's discount carts.
Well, I've been cooking liver and onions with some of those marinates. Even though I'm not allowed liver and onions, I just have to have it about once a year. That is all there is to it!
My wife is normal so she absolutely hates liver. She always says, "I'm not going to eat that stuff!" Well, I cook away and put the liver in front of her and she gobbles it down saying, "That was delicious!"
Well, it isn't delicious. That is not a word for liver. The word is obnoxious.
Why does my wife love my liver and onions? Because I disguise it. The liver itself, still tastes like crap, but she doesn't notice that fact. Her taster is not as good as mine.
Well, got to be moseying along. Got to help the neighbor find his cows!

The Grandpa Jones Kitchen
Hi, Everyone!
All my many millions of blog readers.
Well, maybe not that many.
Have you visited my kitchen where I make all the good original stuff (as I seldom look at cookbooks). My mother taught me to cook when I was very young and I've been cooking ever since, especially since my wife resigned from cooking on my retirement some 15 years ago.
Do you like Stromboli? I made some yesterday and served it to my wife and a restaurant owner and his wife.
I love Stromboli and it is so easy to make.
