Hi There:

This is Roz.  I want to start the NEW Year and NEW Decade off with wishes of love, enthusiasm, inspiration and opportunity for all of us.  I wish you and yours EVERYTHING  you wish for yourself “multiplied” by 2010!

Luv & Hugs,

What’s the deal with this?

Since I upgraded this Blog on Wednesday… from WordPress 2.3.1 to WordPress 2.8 , I’ve been inundated with tons  of spam! 

I read a tip on the WordPress.org website to move the Askimet.php file into the root directory of the plugins folder.  Not sure if this will work, but I gave it a try.  Seems harmless enough and might actually help!

I’ll report back as soon as I see a difference in spam alerts!

While I like new things, I am a creature of habit and DO NOT like to upgrade software or programs… ONLY because there is ALWAYS a learning curve and it ALWAYS comes when you are not ready for it.

1) I used the “WordPress Automatic Upgrade” Plugin – SUCCESSFULLY

2) My version of Windows XP Professional SP3 is so high on security (something I DID NOT set) that it is almost impossible to download files — even when — I want them.

3) Ultimately I will now… Have to figure out how the NEW WordPress 2.7 works.

LUCKY ME — I purchased two books from Amazon to help me make the transition.

The most important thing is that WordPress 2.7 seems to have been upgraded SUCCESSFULLY and WITHOUT incident!

THANK YOU Computer Gods!

Kodak Z1012 Digital Camera

I am appalled that Amazon.com, who I like very much, and who I buy from regularly…  Allow’s their “Market Place” sellers to charge customers “twice the price” for an item.  Perhaps what is bothering me more is that Amazon.com, themselves is promoting this particular seller in an email that Amazon.com just sent out to their mailing list.  In my book, that implies that Amazon.com is saying this is ok!

In this case, the item in question is the “Kodak Z1012 Digital Camera.

I have been watching this camera for many months now as I have a personal interest in it.  Perhaps if this were not the case I would not have known the difference in price when Amazon.com’s email advertisement hit my email box just a few moments ago.

Amazon.com is quoting $479.95 – sold by their “Market Place” Vendor BlueProton, for a camera that Kodak, itself retails for $249.95.

This is outrageous in my opinion.  Staples had the same camera a week or two ago for $219.95.  Staples regular price is $249.95.

My point here…  BE CAREFUL and check out your prices BEFORE you purchase anything… whether online or offline.  It could be very costly for you if you do not!

Subhead: Joyce Meyer’s New Book, “100 Ways to Simplify Your Life,” is the book of the year in my opinion.  This book will become the Bible of Everyday Living.

“100 Ways to Simplify Your Life” by Joyce Meyer has to be Joyce’s best book yet!  Or… the timing of its release makes it her best book yet!  Either way, I would recommend this book to everyone,  no matter if they are Christian or not.

Joyce share “common rules” for everyday living.  No matter what our religion or ethnicity, we are all the same in many respects!

I keep this book by my bed and before I go to sleep, I play a little game with myself.  I open it to a random page and tell myself “this is the page God thinks I need to read today!”

!00 Ways to Simplify Your Life is just that.  Joyce lists 100 ways to simplify your life – nothing more, nothing less.

How to use this book.

Actually, you do not have to start from the beginning.  You can open the book to any page and start there, or you can check out the “Table of Contents” and select the challenges you would like to read about.

The book is written in a “simple” consistent format! 

Each section starts off with a quote by a person – some are anonymous – but all meaningful.  One of my favorite quotes  is listed with “Tip 44 – Pray About Everything.”  The quote is: “Pray, and let God worry!” ~ Martin Luther.  What a concept!

Next, there is a quote, psalm or proverb from the Bible.  What a great way to learn them, one by one! 

Lastly, Joyce shares the solution or tip to the specific challenge you are reading about.

YOU REALLY do have to get this book.  BUY IT for EVERYONE you know!  You will be glad you did and they will be glad you did!  The peace of mind this book shares is priceless!

I can’t say enough about 100 Way To Simplify Your Life by Joyce Meyer!

COMPLAINT… The “ONLY” complaint I have is… the book is “NOT long enough.”  There are so many challenges in life that Joyce could have written 200 Ways to Simplify Your Life and it still would have been great. 

I would suggest that Joyce write a sequel, perhaps call it: 100 “Additional” Ways to Simplify Your Life. It would be a best seller!

This book is so well timed with our country’s current challenges. 

“I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!  You will too!”

I have both the CD version and the paper version.  I would suggest them both, but I would definitely suggest the paper version so you can highlight those passages you want to find quickly.
