Compromising Situation....

Ok, I am now going to admit something touchy here...there is a guy at work whom I find very attractive and guess what....he is only two years younger than myself if that....he gave me a bag of Fritos today and I guess one has watch when a man gives a woman food...lol...I was doing lunchroom duty and he had to bring one of the kids in there from his class I guess and off course I am going to say hi...I mean I can't be rude to him and ignore him....lol....now I have a promise not to get involved with the peeps at my job...my only exception is going out with this one teacher's aide once this semester is over so I will have time to do something with her but I need to stay away from the men...now this man is way too nice....and it sure does not help that he is georgeous.....where are you G so I can get your advice on this....

On another note, I almost blew it with the laptop and ipod...now the funny thing is that the cert says ipod which I will be pretty mad if all I get is an ipod after doing seven offers...yes, I had to do seven offers since one did not bother to credit....so I had to do the Boca Java offer and now I have more coffee than I know what to do with since I had to do the Gevalia offer as a replacement in the plasma TV conga since my Time Life CD never credited and those peeps even called me to see how I was enjoying the CD and my answer to them was "you never even credited me for the plasma TV" and he pretended he didn't know what I was talking about...bums...lol...well back to the cert, my browser closed and I lost the cert and I couldn't get it back so I wrote them and then them emailed me this morning and told me to send the W-9 all filled out...now isn't this getting to be a regular thing with me...lol....

Stand and Deliver......

I never even heard of this movie since I know it is such an old movie anyway and most likely came out even before I had a VCR...now before you ask me if I still have a VCR, let me just tell you that this movie came out when no one had DVDs so now guess how old this movie is...the plasma TV was not even invented yet so now I have you there lol....

I had to watch this movie for this class I am taking and I finally watched it last night and loved it...very touching story about a Latino teacher teaching in an urban high school which is all Latinos as well. No, this is not a bilingual school neither since they all have to speak English. When I was once assigned to a Latino school here, I was speaking some Spanish and even wrote my greeting to the class in Spanish....I know some Spanish through my job experience....the children right away told me not to speak nor write anything on the board in Spanish since everyone there was required to speak English....mystery to me right there....?????.....lol....

Now back to the movie...this teacher goes into this school thinking he will teach computers and they tell him then that they couldn't get the computers so he is ready to walk out but they tell him that he has to teach remedial math...eeeekkkk...I hope I don't run into that too....but I just may and I changed my mind after watching this film....it showed unruly students with behavior issues who didn't want to be in school and they had too much responsibilities at home and some of the kids belonged to gangs but the teacher was able to reach them and make them learn and they really grew to like him....this makes me want to teach in a school like that once I get my certificate....this is also a true story....so it really happened and it is no work of fiction....

I think everyone should watch this movie and it is available at Blockbusters....

Cash or gifts....

Now with the freebie sites...I just got news the other day that TopWebRewards approved and processed my certs and did the happy dance...wasn't it just two weeks ago that I was depressed that site would not do anything and I lost my gift that I paid bundles to qualify for....well my trick is to not cancel right away since it not only takes the integrity away but then these businesses lose money and then sites like that cannot have these offers.....on the laptop thing I had to do a replacement offer and it went through....my ipod nanos should be shipped next month or so they claim...what I now wonder is though I have heard they don't support WINA sites so there goes the audiobooks.....at least I get my music though....now these other companies may just send checks which may be better.....although I want the laptop instead of cash....they better not send just the ipod though because that is not why I did all those costly offers....I am now trying for a gift card since I owed someone an offer and I did the Lancome offer and greened right away so I just need 11 refs which is never a problem for me to get.....

My Status......

Now this is one thing that is tricky for me to classify since I am both a student and do work and I make my money in different ways.....I already mentioned the ways I make my money in my other blog so I won't go there at this point.....anyone ever heard of sportslair by the way.....just thought I would ask....now what I will talk about is how I am getting some expensive items for the price of next to nothing....ha ha....yes, I have a plasma TV coming here and a 42 inch one at that...then a DVD player and two ipod nanos and an ipod video....no I cannot afford these items but here is how I am getting them.....I joined a site for getting a two free nanos and I only had to do one offer and get 10 refs...well in less than a week, I ended up getting 11 refs and they all greened instantly.....then I filled in my approval and they approved it the other day and I just put in my order and they just have to get it from the vendor to be shipped to me.....

Now the DVD player, I happen to get a pop-up and did one offer and it greened right away and now I just have to get it notarized and mailed....

The plasma TV, I joined a conga and did eight offers and they gave me a ref and all I had to do was submit my W-9......now the laptop, there was also a conga so I joined and did 6 offers and they gave me a ref and my offers still have to go green and so do my refs and then I can not only get my laptop but also the video ipod they throw in as a bonus.....ain't this all so sweet.......

I know I would....

I never once thought of a career in real estate but if I were living in Atlanta, I may consider since the fact that condo company just launced their new website where the buyers can now get their listings. They also launched a program called "Building Specialists" where the real estate agents specializes in a particular building among those Atlanta Condos. These are generally luxury high rises and very profitable off course.

Now the buyers also have an advantage on this website where they can get contact information to directly contact the seller of the condo they are interest in. Developers and sellers can also list on this site.

Prescription Drugs....

Let us just be honest...they are everywhere and many people take them...they have side effects just like the cold and cough meds at the OTC drugstores...my own brother had an incident one time where when mixing OTCs for a cough he had and then late at night he had passed out and the ambulance was called and he had to spend two nights in the hospital.....now if this were prescriptions then one knows care and safety has to be taken and it is now much easier with this one web access from Epocrates to the health care professionals so that patient safety, healthcare efficiency and patient satisfaction can be achieved.

Now if someone is on Lorazepam and has to go to the doctor for another reason and surgery is needed, there are many anesthetics that would not be feasible to administer to the patient since this particular drug is almost like a sedative....there are other alternatives available and that would be much easier....

With a service like this, the doctor and nurse can simply look up on one website instead of having to go to multiple websites and find out everything they need to know and what are the safe anesthetics to administer to the patient...this is also a big time saver which is a big and critical help in medical care.

They are a very valuable resource and a convenient tool that once the clinics try it, they won't know what they ever did without them.
