Social @ MindSay 
security
You can never tell which of these ideas is going to take off. This one seems fairly harmless - It is, of course, a non-traditional pryamid scheme. But, there are less than 700,000 people participating so there is still room at the top.
Its, well, sort-of, social networking meets e-commerce. I think mindsay, myspace competion. Its about time friends, family, schoolmates, etc. get paid to send you silly sayings and photographs.
Take a look -

Last post for a while. After reading an article this morning about what the Army did to a Warrior and how he had to go straight to his gov't offical for help. Knowing what MY family has had to do and are still doing on behalf of my brother because of the Marines, and then rereading the article that was posted by daenarys I thought I better step up again and remind all of our Veteran's, their spouses, and their families what they can do to help our current Warriors out. Active Military personal do what I am suggesting also.
A lot of folks didn't have a family like mine that was active in an organization. Sure they aren't too active now but I and my immiadate family are becoming active again. We were active and involved in an organization called the American Legion and the American Legion Aux. It wasn't just my parents and us kids. 3 out of 4 of my Maternial Uncles are Veterans and all their families were involved also. My Parental Uncle is a Veteran and his family was involved with the VFW or the American Legion. I married into a Military family. My husband is NOW an American Legion Member at the age of 39, Fuck in law (sorry only name I will refer to hubby's dad) is the Vic Commander of his American Legion Post, and Randy's sister and brother in law are both carrerr Army.
Do you all realize that both the VFW and The American Legion and Legion Aux not only help Veterans with social, chartiable, and poltical activies? They also help current active Warriors in their area's Unit District and their home town Districts will step up to the plate also? I wouldn't be suprised if you didn't realize this. You know why. Be ready I am going to bad mouth a set of Vets here! The WWI and II Vets are dying out but before they are dying out they are causing their units to die out. They don't want to hande over control of the Units to the Korean and Veitnam Vets to take over. They are stuck in the past and can't realize the new breed of Veterans are a LOT younger than they are, they are fighing a different type of war they did, and their spouses ten to one are NOT sitting home taking care of the families but on the front lines right next to their spouses. The Korean and Veitnam Vets are slowly taking over control of these Veteran Organizations and are trying to build them back up to what they use to be and are more than HAPPY to recruit our Vet's of today so they can hand over the Organization to my husband's and my age group of Vets.
I got Randy joined up with the American Legion Post in the town our kids go to school, DeLaney and I are in the process of sending in our paperwork to reup our Legion Aux membership to the same Unit Aux and now the American Legion has another org, The Son's of the American Legion (actually the sons could have joined the American Legion Aux but this goes back to old school WWI and II mentality that men can't join a woman's org and vice versa), The Son's org is for any male family member of a Vet to join up and help the Legion and Legion Aux out. Unfortuntally our Unit is a small Inter-Tribal/County Unit and does NOT have a Son's Unit yet. But you should have seen all those Korean/Veitnam Vet's get excited that Randy stepped up at Pow Wow last year and help take down and carry the flags at the closing ceromonies each day and when he joined they got super excited. New Blood. Granted Randy has yet been able to go to a meeting (working all the time) but they know he is there and are using him as a membership driving tool. They are also using myself as a membership driving tool, ten to one from Urban area to rural area the age group between 18-50 has NEW vets that have no clue these Organizations are there to help them and that they are dying out.
I strong encourage ALL VETS both female and male to join the American Legion. The Female Vets and all female family members can join the American Legion Aux and if your area has a Son's of American Legion join up your boys. If they don't be a trend setter and join your male family members who are NOT a vet under the American Legion Aux. And they have benefits for not only the vets but their family memebers. I myself recieved a LOT of benefits as a Jr. Member of the Aux growing up. I learned about my county, state, and federal gov't processes, went to Girl's State and applied and recieved over 25 hundred in scholorship monies for college.
If you don't want to join the American Legion join the VFW and if your Pagan join the Order of the Pentacle Granted the Pagan Vet Association is directed towards Wiccans and most pagans who aren't Wiccan HATE the fact that most orgs are ONLY for Wiccans but that can be changed if more Pagan Vets join the Pagan Vet Association and make them stand up and realize that Wiccans aren't the only Pagan Vets. Hell join all three if you want! You can have more than one membership! Just remember on the VFW and the American Legion that you might be joining a dying unit or a defunt unit but don't let that stop you! Join up get it going again and go out there and get those Veterans and their families to join up and HELP them and others with situations like daenarys article and other situations that the Military is doing to our Warriors!
Here are the links to the organazations:
VFW (for the Aux of VFW you will have to request your district unit information from them)
The Order of the Pentacle (again request infor for the Aux-Also check with your local Pagan Orgs and Groups to see if they have any of their own groups for Pagan Veterans-this is a new organization and not near a LOT of Vets and geared towards Wiccans-they take other Pagan paths but if your NOT Wiccan it could be very irritating to have to deal with Wiccan beliefs constantly)
I am uncomfortable with my guvmint because they are spending $12 billion per month to bring democracy to a country who plainly doesn't want it while telling us Americans that they can't afford to repay us the money they forced us to save in the form of Social Security.
The story is that we baby boomers are all arriving on the scene at the same time and that we will be taking out more than the current workers are putting in. This makes sense but I submit that the shortfall is probably a damn sight less than $12 billion per month.
How much did the Iraqis pay in to Social Security? Why are they getting the money instead of us?
Maybe the real reason we are at war has not been explained at all. Maybe we are at war so that we can create business for the manufacturers of weapons. The public does not complain about war spending because we fear that doing so would be unpatriotic. This sad fact makes it possible to transfer enormous quantities of tax money into the hands of favored corporations. And we've all heard stories of how much the guvmint is overcharged for trivial military procurements like hammers and toilet seats. Imagine how much we could be overcharged for a tank or a fighter plane.
If George W. Bush is not the most hated person on the planet, who is?
This is officially my very first blog. I'll have to be honest, I was a little nervous about putting my thoughts out there for everyone to view. I am looking for anyone who would like to comment on becoming a middle school teacher. My plans are to teach 7th or 8th grade Social Studies. Do you think there is still a need to teach Social Studies? My thought...more than ever! I believe it's very important for students' to understand the world around them because we are becoming more of "one" world. The United States does more now than ever with other countries.
I am currently a second year college student working towards my Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education. I'd love to hear from anyone who has any advice for me. What do you wish someone had told you before becoming a teacher? What is the best part about being a teacher? What is the worst part?
For one of my assignment’s I was asked to create a blog about my class and if I would use “blogging” in my classroom. I’ve heard that student’s tend to be a little more honest when asked to write something online. This could be a bad thing, but I think I would actually enjoy reading comments by my students. This would be perfect for those who don’t like to speak up in class, but at the same time I could get them to share their feelings about a subject.
For example, if we are learning about China I would ask them to blog each other on what they’ve learned about China and their thoughts. I think I could get a real sense of how the students feel about the subject matter. I could treat it like a discussion board students complete for online courses.
