I guess it's safer these days to stick with giving out nickels, dimes, quarters, and maybe at the extreme end and maybe an occasional dollar bill, better to be safe the sorry, right? What has become of the world which we live in today?

Stay-at-home mom makes millions from pretzels

Stay-at-home mom makes millions from pretzels: "Having Mark Cuban as a business partner has given the company even more legitimacy. He is obviously someone that millions of people admire for his business savvy, so having him on board is a huge asset.

The first time I received an email from him, I was completely shocked because I thought he would have a lot of middlemen, but that has not been the case. He is very accessible.

What would you say to other stay-at-home moms with big ideas?"

English Historical Fiction Authors: December 2013

English Historical Fiction Authors: December 2013: "During the reign of King Henry VIII, a few "superstars" who rose from the depths of poverty came center stage, most notably Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex.



Remarkably, a woman joined Cromwell's ranks, eclipsing his popularity most undoubtedly, for in an age where religion reigned true and omens, portents, predictions, legends and ancient prophecies held huge significance, one of the Tudor Era's greatest and most cherished celebrity "superstars" stepped forward -- Elizabeth Barton, the Holy Maid of Kent."

Elizabeth Barton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elizabeth Barton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "However, all that is known regarding her confession comes from Thomas Cromwell, his agents, and other sources on the side of the Crown. Friar John Laurence of the Observant Friars of Greenwich gave evidence against the Maid and fellow Observants,



Friars Hugh Rich and Richard Risby, and then requested to be named to one of the posts left vacant due to their imprisonment.[4] She, along with five of her chief supporters, four of whom were priests, were executed for treason and hanged at Tyburn.[1] She was buried at Greyfriars Church in Newgate Street, but her head was put on a spike on London Bridge, the only woman in history accorded that dishonour"

Elizabeth Barton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elizabeth Barton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "n 1528 she held a private meeting with Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the second most powerful man in England next to King Henry, and soon thereafter met twice with the king himself. King Henry accepted Barton because her prophecies did not at that time challenge the existing order. Her prophecies warned against heresy and condemned rebellion at a time when the King was attempting to stamp out Lutheranism and was afraid of possible uprising or even assassination by his enemies."

More About Who I am, Part II

More About Who I am, Part II:
By Stephen C. Sanders, March 12, 2014 7:00 AM Daylight Savings Time, EST exclusively for Self-Actualization.info on Blogger!

I'm the kind of guy who tends to be on the all or nothing side of things. My most current obsession which actually brought me to the I gotta write this and publish this right now, status is those amazing little toolbar extensions that can be added to your Google Chrome toolbar.

Now my readers (all three of them) might be interested to know that I was truly blogging before the word had actually been invented. Yes, that's right, I am one of these dinosaurs from the web 1.0 days.

Need proof, here you go:

http://thewriterscafe.tripod.com/

Anyone who has got content floating around the ever-expanding web we call the internet from the old Tripod-Lycos days using their little Trailex Web Builder App might want to share that title of dubious value with me,

Well, I have got my first typo (something to look up- Trailex) and probably about three new things on my to-do list, so I gotta say this words, that early morning readers of my blogs are well familiar with... To be continued.

The Oscar goes to Related Content, by Zemata?

Seriously short, yet the old adage always leave the audience wanting more perhaps applies here.

Book Review: Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits, by T.D. Jakes : The Front Porch

Book Review: Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits, by T.D. Jakes : The Front Porch: "Readers of Reposition Yourself are told that God wants to be their accountability partner on their self-charted road to worldly success, and that He wants them to “have it all.” These teachings are utterly false and, if taken to heart, might prove damningly so."
