I am trying to help a family in need.<br /><br />In a perfect world, we could all stay home with our families and make enough money for the whole family to live off of.

We have become business partners and even better, friends and family.<br /><br />Because of all of our members’ common interests in family, family values, working on home-based businesses, we are all connected in one great big family actually.<br /><br />I would like to take advantage of this and help out as many "family members" as I can.

Perfect timing too since money has been hard to come by lately. It's so simple I know people who don't have a computer that are able to do this and the pay is fantastic.<br /><br />I signed up for a blogging service that only costs me $9.95 per month and then I get paid $1 a month every time someone I refer signs up. But what makes this really good money is I can have up to 5 subaffiliates under me and when each of these refer others who sign up for the service I get $1 a month for each of those sign ups as well.<br /><br />At first I thought I couldn't make much money with this but then someone showed me how on the first level if I refer 10 people who sign up I get $10 a month, which pays my blog service and then on my second level if each of these 10 people each refer 10 people I make another $100 a month and if you repeat this on the third level I get $1000 a month and the fourth is $10,000 a month and the final fifth level is $100, 000 a month.<br /><br />I figure it's only costing me $9.95 per month to find out if it works and so far everyone I talk to get's it and signs up.<br /><br />Anyway, thought you might want to check it out,, if so go to this link to learn more.<br /><strong><a href="http://ismyblogs.name/wp-signup.php?a_aid=4afb6814c9b25&a_bid=11110005]">what.ismyblogs.name</a></strong><br /><br />best regards,<br /><br />Denise DobbsDenisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08467801373174679780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174005312262747915.post-25493864476879440012009-11-12T12:42:00.001-05:002009-11-12T12:47:39.349-05:00Nana's Butter Cookies<span style="font-family:arial;">I have been going through my step mom's recipes</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">1½ sticks butter at room temperature<br />1½ cups flour<br />¾ teaspoon baking soda<br />1 cup light brown sugar<br />1 egg<br />1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />A pinch of salt<br />½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)<br /><br />In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Slowly stir in the boiling water. Stir at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in the pineapple juice. Let cool to room temperature.<br /><br />Wearing heavy duty gloves or using tongs, place the block of dry ice in the bottom of the cauldron. (Dry ice will burn skin, so handle it with gloves and tongs and keep it away from kids and pets!)<br /><br />Use an ice pick to break the block into smaller chunks, if necessary.<br />Fill the cauldron with just enough water to cover the dry ice. It will begin to "steam."<br />Place the punch bowl inside the cauldron, on top of the dry ice. The cauldron will appear to be magically smoking.<br /><br />Entrap the sterilized rubber hand between the cauldron and the punch bowl, squeezing it tight so the hand appears to be reaching out of the mist for help. Hot-glue the hand to the cauldron, if necessary, to hold it in place.<br /><br />Carefully pour the drink mixture into the punch bowl. Slowly add the chilled vodka and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.
