GOOD THINGS: Chelsea's Project

Marcia Norwood

NOTE:  

Dear Readers,

Without my permission - Linksicle has ads on my blog.  I did NOT give them permission to link to my blog.   There are certain words on my blog that are underlined, and when someone clicks on them an ad and link appear.

Isn't that stealing since Bloggers get money for ads on their blogs?

We are trying to get Linksicle off my blog.

Shame on them.

Let's STOP the Linksicle  piracy!

BLOGGERS unite!

Is Linksicle stealing from you?  Are there  ads on your blog that you did NOT give permission for - or that you are not being paid for?

Join me an a joint lawsuit against Linksicle, and the companies who advertise through them...like aol.careerbuilder.com; esportsonline; Microsoft-Support.ul...

Do these companies who pay Linksicle realize that their companies are being advertised on blogs without the bloggers permission?

Are companies paying Linksicle to advertise on my blog and your blog - or is Linksicle stealing from the companies as well?

Linksicle ads appear on Craigslist.  Is Craigslist being paid for the ads?  Does Craigslist give permission for Linksicle to put ads on their site - so people are drawn away from the things for sale on Craigslist?  It's SO distracting to look for something on Craigslist and then have the Linksicle ads appear.  What a nuisance!  

No matter what anyone says about "new rules" - NO ONE owns the rights to link to the words on my blog that Linksicle has linked ads to.  Here are those words:    "fell in love" - "great idea" - "paper strips" - "kitchen table."     There is also a link on "Microsoft Publisher" to Microsoft-Support.ul..."    If Microsoft is going to put a link on my blog everytime I use the name of their company  - without my permission - I will just stop adding their name, and perhaps I will stop using their products.  

So - fellow bloggers - our attack to stop blogger-piracy is three-fold:
1)  A Joint Law Suit against Linksicle for piracy 
2)  A Notice to companies who use Linksicle to STOP using them, or pay us for their advertising now on our blogs...or we will BOYCOTT your companies.
3)  If companies now benefiting from ads on our blogs (put there without our permission) - if companies do not make a change - then we will sue them as well.

Who is with me?

"Happy New Year from the Howard's!"
Reading all the good things that happened in our 2013!! 
There were a whole bunch of exciting things! 
Babies being born, new friends being made,

It was a great year, 
and we're looking forward to many many more!"

I borrowed Chelsea's idea, (with her permission) and made a "GOOD THINGS JAR" for my family.

Would you like to make one, too?

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.

Directions

Stand a few wood clothespins on end in a jar.

Add a few drops of essential oil to the clothespins and in the bottom of the jar.

Put on the lid, and let it sit at least overnight, so the clothespins will soak up the essential oils.

 Scented clothespins  
       can be used in  
                 closets,  
                       drawers,  
                            gym bag,
