Really, if you have thoughts and opinions, you’re hired!

Actually, you just created your very own business without you even knowing it!

Do you have 100 tips you’d like to share a day, or rants and raves about products or services you’ve used?

Everyone does…It’s that really simple.

Have you ever thought of starting your own blog? You can have a blog for free, it’s easy to get going…

What’s a Blog? Basically, it’s an online journal…What you’re reading right now is a blog. I can write about anything I want.

Now, while you’re writing about these things, do you want to get paid to do so? That’s what I said. Paid to write what you think!

Okay, open a blog at Blogger, WordPress, Squidoo, Yahoo 360…tons of places…

Then, go to SocialSpark, and sign up for a free account. Not only is it a place where you can apply for “blog posts” that you get paid for…

Basically, they tell you what to give your opinion on, you include what they want you to, and voila…You Get Paid!

Not only can you apply for jobs, but advertisers can approach you too. You can make friends and socialize with fellow bloggers to get great ideas and network.

It’s as easy as writing what you would normally talk about with your family or girlfriends. I know you have a lot to share, especially if you’re a new mom…So many experiences, thoughts, knowledge and feelings…not to mention your amazing recipes, household tips, inspiration and encouragement to others.

I don’t know about you, but I rarely run out of words, but even on the occasion that you might, there are a lot of “Blog U Back” opportunities in the where you exchange posts with another blog…Cool stuff!

It is certainly worth a try, especially if you enjoy going online.

I hope you enjoyed this Great Find from Blog N’ Butter! Until next time…

No Kidding!

AT&T started a “trial run” at charging customers in Beaumont, Texas $1 per Gigabite extra they use over their “monthly bandwidth cap”.

Are you serious? YES!

Check out the original article at MSNBC.com: AT&T may target heavy Net users

This is a Net Neutrality issue! Fight for our freedom to use the internet! This is just ridiculous and it’s only just the beginning…

You think this doesn’t sound like a juicy plan to the other ISPs (Internet Service Providers) around? It sure does!

Our freedoms are certainly under attack…No doubt…

1. You may be an internet user that only uses the net for email or to keep up with friends.

2. You may be a user that works online for business, or who enjoys watching TV shows, movies and music videos online.

Now, get this, if you’re a #1, you may feel it unnecessary and be upset that you are getting nickel and dimed for your measly internet usage.

If you’re a #2, you may not be able to afford it anymore, or may find it useless to even try.

Why? Because the big ISPs (Internet Service Provders) want to “meter” your internet usage like your water or gas bill, and charge you by the gigabite you use or download.

Are you kidding?

What in the World Makes Them Think this is Okay? What is our world coming to?

If you haven’t been following the Net Neutrality issue, then know that our internet freedoms are at stake…

Check out these posts to catch up with easy-to-watch videos explaining it all:
1. Net Neutrality in a Nutshell – For Those of You Who Don’t Know
2. Senator Ted Kennedy is For Net Neutrality

Read where I got my news from here:

To Curb Traffic on the Internet, Access Providers Consider Charging by the Gigabite

Metered Internet is OK But Won’t Work

This might give you a different perspective on the issue, and give you yet another reason to take notice and stand up with against it!

This is a SERIOUS ISSUE that AFFECTS EVERYONE!

Very interesting that Google has a page in their Help Center announcing their position as wanting Net Neutrality!

Also, they tell you how to stand up and fight – In the United States, call your representative (202-224-3121).

Do You Enjoy the Internet? Do like being able to email friends and stay in touch? Do you like running your business online? Do you enjoy blogging or reading blogs? Do you have neat websites you really enjoy going to that are “Gems in the Rough”?

The Internet, as we know it, could be gone by 2010 if we don’t do something!

I found a post today that outlines some of the large ISP companies and the government’s plans to kill the internet, apparently by 2012, but as soon as 2010.

This great investigative report outlines specifics that all point to the fact that big-business and governments around the world want to regulate everything we are able to view, post or read on the internet as we know it!

Read these actual events that make these secret plans not-so-secret anymore:

Secret Plan To Kill Internet By 2012 Leaked?

These links I am providing you with will give you what Net Neutrality is in a Nutshell.

It is a serious issue right now, and truly if you don’t know what it is, or really don’t care, then YOU REALLY NEED to watch these videos for a run down, because EVERYONE is affected by this…It’s as important as healthcare issues or poison in our food.

On Blog N’ Butter, I have posted a number of times about this issue, from the get-go…These posts all include videos of some kind and give you a really good rundown of the issue…short, sweet and to-the-point!

Here is a post that includes the links to the other posts too, so you can get them all in one place:

Senator Ted Kennedy is for Net Neutrality

I found another post elsewhere called:

Box o’ Net Neutrality

This post includes 5 videos that explain everything…It’s impossible for anyone not to be affected by this issue, either directly or indirectly.

The big-wigs are trying to strip us of our freedoms yet again…we can’t just let them waltz in and do it without an ugly fight! It’s easy to stand up against them…we just have to do it together…

I hope you take Net Neutrality and ponder it as Food for Thought.

Today was the first time I had heard about this story, and I would venture to say that you may not have ever heard of this either…

So, I wanted to share this piece with you to fill you in on how TV is regulated these days, giving us the news they want to, not necessarily the truth or stories that we need to be told!

Force fed what they want us to see and hear…A scary proposition…Makes you wonder. This is yet another reason to speak out for Net Neutrality, or this same thing will happen on the Internet, and quickly!!!

I hope you found this to be Food for Thought on Blog N’ Butter! Until next time…

Waterbeds may seem so “80s”, but they are still alive and well!

I had a waterbed from the time I was a pre-teen until a few months after I got married (when my husband collapsed the bed when filling it after we moved). My feelings were so hurt…LOL…I loved that bed.

Truth be told, I have never been satisfied with the sleep I get on any of the mattresses we have had since then.

Now, it was not one of those cool, new softside waterbeds, but it made me happy!

Photo left: Softside waterbed with dual chambers

People often worry about the waterbed leaking or it being too heavy for the structure of the house…We never one time had a leak of any kind.

Also, we had an extra precaution with a waterbed alarm. It is a little alarm that is fitted to the bottom of the bed. Two contacts are separated by an Aspirin. If water is leaking, it dissolves the Aspirin and the contacts touch and made a loud alarm.

At one point in time, my parents and my sister also had waterbeds, of different motion gradients, but waterbeds nonetheless.

I loved how it just “hugs” around you…The heater keeps you warm, especially in winter and it almost rocks you to sleep.

* Tip: Don’t overfill your waterbed, as it will cause you to fall into the sides of the bed, instead of sleeping comfortably in the center…LOL

Looking for a new waterbed? I “stumbled upon” My-Waterbed-Shop.com where you can find “all things waterbed”…

I do have a funny story to tell though…My mother used to rise her bread dough on top of the warm waterbed. She says it was just the perfect temperature for beautiful bread and buns…LOL…

Father’s Day is June 15th this year! That’s next Sunday people!!!

I hope everyone has at least thought of what they would like to get their fathers in their lives…

But if you haven’t, I “stumbled upon” a great resource for those “Handyman Dads” out there.

Check out this neat shopping search engine, that’s actually a Wiki site, http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Workshop+and+Home+Improvement. Apparently, they have a bunch of these and I only just discovered them…

How manly is this site! It is sooooo “My Dad”…LOL…These are the tools and gadgets that would make his life so much easier…Just think…what is your father’s favorite stores to go to?

If you’re answering Home Depot, Lowe’s, Canadian Tire or Rona, then I just shared your winning place to shop for this Father’s Day! LOL

Okay, now what? What has you father or husband been complaining he wants to finish in the house…a project that has been vexing him because it is taking too long? Now think…what would make his life easier?

If they are doing everything by hand, for example, using a screwdriver to install screws, then a cordless power drill is the answer…nothing like a brand new power drill.

Maybe you can even hint at something you’ve talked about that you want done around the house…maybe an extension? How about a great circular saw? Find out more information on what kind of circular saw to get with their reviews and articles.

…And let me tell you from experience, nothing spices up painting the house like a paint gun…Wow…These things are fun and so much faster, at least for the large areas you need to paint. You can even check out a tutorial on how to use them.

I am so sold on these Wiki search engines…I used it for buying my hedgehog food on their Pets engine too…Really neat!

I hope this gave you some ideas and Great Finds for Father’s Day for that Handyman in your life! Until next time…
