Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing

OK, I'm convinced!! (Big smile.) Despite the number of comments / complaints on the web I've been assured that this is not a SCAM. So, if you are interested, check Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. Let me know what you think?!?! (God forgive me if I have to confess on this blog, at a later date, that I made another costly mistake.)

Postscript: Check my GDI website.

This "old dog" learned a "new trick" !!


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I learned to upload pictures to the computer from a digital camera. It was really quite simple. My challenge was attempting to send the images from my Juno e-mail account. An old saying "If at first you don't succeed, try try again." I did continue to try and (as far as I know) the pictures reached their destination. ~~~ FYI: My own bed, sheets, and blanket!! (Actually, a sleeping bag inside a sleeping bag.) Sure beats paying for a motel (and maybe encounter a bedbug or two)!!!! (Have you seen the horror stories [expose'] on 20/20, and Dateline, regarding unsanitary conditions in motel / hotel rooms??)

Dotless Domain - SCAM !! SCAM !! SCAM !!

Perhaps--if I had not been SCAMMED by Dotless Domain--I could have taken a vacation in this exotic location. One can dream, can't one?? Aren't these images absolutely gorgeous?? So take a three minute vacation and enjoy the scenery.

Beautiful North Carolina !!

Arrived home in the late afternoon; total of 243 miles. Even with an occasional light rain, the weather was delightful!! The scenery was easy-on-the-eyes. Very blue skies, fluffy white clouds, beautiful Spring-green trees, Dogwoods in bloom.... I saw a smorgasbord of colors!! Even "California" Poppies along Interstate 77. ~~ The meeting was informative. ~~ I spent the night in my little Teardrop trailer, in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

Observation is like a muscle....

"Observation is like a muscle. It grows stronger with use and
atrophies without use. Exercise your observation muscle and you
will become a more powerful decoder of the world around you."
— Joe Navarro: Former FBI agent and expert on nonverbal language

Never end a day without first learning something new, experiencing something new, or meeting someone new. That's one of the secrets to a fulfilling life. But that can be accomplished only when you make a point to watch, listen, and experience more of the world around you. Believe me, your life right now would be in some way different and better if you were always 100% in tune with your surroundings. Former FBI special agent Joe Navarro strengthens your observation skills.

The Power of Body Language
by Joe Navarro

Last night I observed the FHTM meeting. Today I throw a few things into the trailer, hitch it to the KIA, and drive across the state to a meeting tonight. I'm always eager to learn something new.

Too good to be true?? FHTM SCAM ??

This time I'm doing my homework before attending a meeting!! As I said in an earlier blog, I must have "gullible" written in bold across my forehead for everyone to read. People see... and believe they have a new recruit for their MLM business. A friend approached me last week and invited me to an "opportunity meeting" tonight. ~~ I've spent hours doing Google searches and find many complaints about Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. Likewise many positive comments from distributors who advocate the merits of the business and report they are making money. What's a gal to believe?? So, I will attend and hopefully have a "gut feeling" about the business. ~~ For the record: 726 comments / complaints on topix.com; 449 on Scam.com. Numerous other sites with fewer posted complaints / comments. Don't take my word, check them out, incuding Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing--Is FHTM a scam?.

From a
recently viewed website: “The first step to believing something is true is wanting to believe it is true....or being afraid it is.”
“The era we are living in today is a dream of coming true.”
Walt Disney
“All our dreams can come true...if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney
“Voyage upon life's sea, To yourself be true, And, whatever your lot may be, Paddle your own canoe.” Sarah Bolton

Lorraine here to say "My arms are very tired!! I've been 'paddling my own canoe' for over fifty years!! I want a team!!"

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Christians ~~ by Maya Angelou


'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin'.'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain....
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say...
'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as Pretty does... But beautiful is just plain beautiful!
