I can’t believe I signed up for this blog on July 25th and I’m just now getting back to it. By the way, my real name is Jo but my friends, family, strangers, my cat…they all call me “Hollywood” and trust me, it’s better then what I was called when I was younger!
So anyway, I was thinking about all of these work at home ads I see and I’m permanently disabled and quite a few years ago my Social Security claim was denied. Not because they don’t believe I’m disabled. They have no problem with that. But this is a whole different story that you can read on my other blog at www.gidgetlovesgadgets.blogspot.com and the article I wrote is called “The Best Kept Secret in Social Security”. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go read it. Then above it is an update and I’m going to ask you to please take the survey. I’m running it until Aug. 31st and I really would appreciate everyone putting their ideas and opinions in the comments block. But at least take the survey part. I’m getting nothing out of doing this. I’m not trying to make money off of it or get my claim approved. I went as far as I can go. I just don’t want to see one more American go through what I went through. That’s all I get out of it. In the blog it’ll tell you what I’ve been trying to do for the past 5 years but I’m only one woman so it’s very slow going. You have no idea what it would mean to me if you just took the survey. It should take about a whole 60 seconds to fill out.
Anyway, let me get back to what I was going to say in this blog. After being scammed a few times and buying every eBooka person could buy and downloading all the free ones I finally settled down witha really good company. In fact, what they’ve done for me has blown me right out of my shoes.But I see a lot of ads now and get a whole lot of junk in my email…yeah, you all know what I’m talking about. The ones that actually get me are the ones who actually tell you how lazy they are. You’ve seen them. “The lazy mans way into getting rich”. “Get rich in 24 hours” “I became a millionaire and sat on my butt all week except for 10 minutes when I had to check to see if my website was still up”! Then, if it’s not bad enough that they’re actually telling us how lazy they are there’s pictures of them smiling withabout 10 checks in their hands. All the checks are in the 5 and 6 digit range. Now I don’t know about you, but if I had that much money in checks I think I would’ve put them in the bank. Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture? Yes, I myself, have joined a few worthless things…but when I see one of those ads I just mentioned I run the other way. Let me ask you. How real do you think those checks are for doing 10 minutes of work a week? I’m busting my butt and I’m doing okay but it takes work. I don’t know anyone that can even research their stats or blast an ad in the time these people say they work.
I don’t know why I got on this subject or why I’m on my soapbox. I probably just got another one of those emails and decided to just let loose on how stupid people think the rest of us are. If it sounds too good to be true…well, you finish that one.
I know I didn’t get around to telling you about myself but it’ll come in bits and pieces. Hey, if you go take my survey there’s a profile over there if you’re interested. And yes, I’m a very interesting person. People use the word eccentric instead of crazy when referring to me! Don’t worry though, it’s a good crazy! Til next time.
Hollywood has left the building!
