Global Domains International

If you have been following my "blog" you are aware that I am now very cautious about alleged money making opportunities. I'm still doing "research" regarding Global Domains International (GDI). There is one complaint on RipoffReport followed by numerous positive comments, and rebuttals. I'd like the reader to join my GDI team but I believe you should be well informed before investing $10.00. The following comment was copied directly from RipoffReport.

Successful Happy GDI Affiliate Here (D Marie, Penfield, New York, U.S.A.)

I have been successfully promoting Global Domains International for over 2 years now, and I have to say it has been the best network-marketing company I have ever promoted, by far.

The reason it has been so successful for me are the free tools like landing pages and video sites GDI makes available for their members. Without the ability of the new GDI members to input their user name code into one of GDI's promotional video sites instantly, my downline would not be in 180 countries now.

The websites GDI offers are viable and many of my members only use the websites. We chose not to use the GDI website builder because I like to make my sites look gorgeous and very unique so I used a different builder to do this. If I showed you what the GDI website product could really look like they would probably remove my links, so I will just tell you... my GDI sites all end in .ws and one globaldomainsint which you can find in the top 5 on Google and AOL and MSN and my other one is makemoneyhome which you can find at the top of MSN.

I have to tell you. I am not rich, but GDI has been providing over 1/2 of my income for the past 2 years and they are never late with a check.

They do what they say they will do. I have not known any other business opportunity that gives you back so much for so little (the $10 a month they charge) and this is a breath of fresh air, especially in this day and age.

For an encyclopedia of information, please visit my May 3rd blog. I have approached "work from home" like a full time job. Sometimes I spend the entire day in front of the computer. See how another woman built a lucrative income working from home. (It takes a few seconds to download the video, followed by brief advertisement. Then enjoy the interview.)

Farrah's Story

[Farrah's battle ended 6/25/2009]

NBC News has licensed and will repackage footage of Farrah Fawcett's battle with cancer for a special to air... [Friday 5/15].

"Farrah's Story," a two-hour special, will air May 15 at 9 p.m. It will include video Fawcett shot during her struggle with anal cancer.

"This film is very personal," said Fawcett, 62, in one of the clips. "At the time, I didn't know if anybody would ever see it. But at some point, the footage took on a life of its own and dictated that it be seen."

Her health has been the subject of much speculation recently, after she went abroad for treatment. Last month, with reports surfacing that she was near death, Craig Nevius, a producer on the NBC special, said Fawcett's cancer had metastasized and spread to her liver.

"She's doing fantastic," he said then. "Her fight goes on. ... She's not going anywhere anytime soon."

Fawcett was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and had surgery to remove a tumor. After chemotherapy, she was said to be cancer free. But the disease returned in 2007.

Her friend Alana Stewart shot most of the video in the special. Also appearing will be long-time love Ryan O'Neal, Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, Fawcett's father, Jim, and her doctors.

NBC paid an undisclosed fee to license the footage and is producing it in conjunction with Fawcett.

"This is an incredibly intimate and moving story about Farrah's struggle," Doug Vaughan, NBC's senior vice president of specials and alternative development, said in a statement. "Farrah wanted us to see the face of cancer and she wanted to set the record straight regarding her diagnosis, her treatment and her outlook on the future."

Much more....

Ryan O'Neals's heartbreak.

Dear Lorraine,

The following is an incredible cancer story and testimony of Nick Kairinos and the truth about cancer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Friends:

As most of you know, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer in 2005. Until recently, I was working with doctors to treat this disease. It's now over 2 years later and I am no better off than I was when I was first diagnosed!

I recently realized that depending on doctors will never lead to a cure. I have taken responsibility for my cancer and I know that I caused it through poor lifestyle choices over the last 5 years. Stress and genetics have played a small role too, but my lifestyle caused it. Had it not been for poor nutrition, wallowing in negative emotion, having no faith, not exercising, and negative thinking, I would not have cancer today. I have no doubt that this is true. Cancer (and all other serious disease) according to Dr. Robert O. Young is not something that strikes us. It's something we do to ourselves.

Fortunately, it's also something we can undo...

In late June, I met with my doctors to discuss the results of my recent tests and biopsy. It was then that I found out that, despite all the medical treatment, things had only become worse. The only option the doctors could provide was radical surgery that would change my life completely. I won't go into the graphic details here, but believe me...it's life altering and fraught with risks, including elevated risks of other types of cancer. Riding the tube to Heathrow, I had a moment of clarity. I knew I had to heal myself with what nature has provided.

My story - and what I'm doing to cure myself of cancer - continues on my website, which is still a work-in-progress... http://www.stopdoingcancer.com/.

Please check it out and spread the word about it, especially to people who have been touched by cancer and have possibly been sent home to die. The only true cure for cancer is through natural means -

* proper nutrition
* healthy emotion
* regular exercise
* strong faith, and
* positive thinking.

I have made myself a guinea pig in a scientific experiment, to prove to the world that this is so.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Robert and Shelley Young for all their research, sacrafice and hard work and all of you for your love, kindness, and support over the last couple of years. I don't know how I would have made it through the last few years without you. Please help me get this message out. It's extremely important to me.

All the best,

Nick Kairinos

Dear Lorraine,

Cancer is a choice. This is what cancer patient and founder of http://www.stopdoingcancer.com/ - Nick Kay - believes as he perseveres in his battle against cancer.

Nick is in his 30's and has an aggressive form of bladder cancer. For the past few years, doctors have tried to treat Nick's cancer in a number of different ways, but nothing has worked. As a last resort, doctors proposed radical, life changing surgery. But Nick wasn't ready to take such a drastic step and, against the advice of his medical team, decided to treat his cancer using only natural means. Nick's doctors were not supportive of this decision, telling Nick that he would not see his children grow up unless he agreed to the surgery.

In 2007, Nick launched StopDoingCancer.com - a not-for-profit web site where Nick talks candidly about his battle against cancer. What makes StopDoingCancer.com unique is that unlike other web sites about cancer on the Internet - most of which offer general information about cancer or try to sell commercial products - Nick is sharing his personal experiences and findings as they are happening, hoping he will help and inspire others.

What Nick shares goes far beyond a written diary: his web site offers detailed and personal information, such as Nick's daily log where he documents what he eats and drinks every day, live blood analysis, weight graphs, pH graphs and more.

One of the reasons Nick named his web site "Stop Doing Cancer" is because Nick believes that people diagnosed with cancer are responsible for developing the disease. "I believe that cancer is not something that strikes us. It is something we do to ourselves because of the way we eat, move, think, feel, and so on," says Nick Kay. "I believe I will reverse my cancer by making better lifestyle choices and allowing my body to heal itself."

After reading many books and articles on cancer, Nick based his natural treatment program on "The pH Miracle" by Dr. Robert Young. "Essentially, Dr. Young states that all disease stems from an over-acidification of our tissues and fluids and that we can prevent and reverse most disease by living alkalizing lifestyles," says Nick. "I have definitely seen improvements since I started this program. For one, I look better than I have in a long, long time. People comment all the time on that. I also feel like I did in my 20's - strong and vibrant. I have boundless energy. I have hardly had any symptoms since I started the program, especially the last month, or so. "

StopDoingCancer.com also serves as a community for cancer patients and survivors, where people can post comments, ask questions and share their experiences and success stories. The response to StopDoingCancer.com has been very positive.
"Just think by transforming your health, there may be countless others that will be watching you and think if he can do it, why can't I? You will be in effect saving many other lives by saving your own!" - writes Kim from Boston, MA, USA in her posting on www.StopDoingCancer.com. And Lisa Woodard from Cary, NC writes: "I am totally blown away by the comprehensiveness and professionalism of your website!"

"My hope is that my website will inspire you and that you will learn from my actions and from everyone that shares their knowledge and stories on this website," says Nick Kay. For more information, please visit http://www.stopdoingcancer.com/.

Gather Little by Little

Look what I discovered on the "information super highway." I found it very interesting; I hope you enjoy it too.

Gather Little by Little is a personal finance blog with a Christian perspective. It’s about growing wealth in accordance with Proverbs 13:11 - Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. Most people believe that becoming wealthy happens overnight. These same people believe that if you can’t gain wealth quickly, they’ll never be rich. The Bible tells us that this is far from the truth. Here we’ll focus on topics related to growing wealth using common sense biblical practices and by gathering money, little by little.

What You will find here:

* Useful articles focused on managing your finances and growing wealth
* New content that is added regularly along with how-to articles teaching you options on how to get control of your finances.
* Content that sometimes strays a bit, but will always be useful and applicable to personal and financial growth (which in my opinion are very tightly coupled)

What you won’t find here:

* Bad language or offensive material
* Offensive or non-related advertising.
* Postings just to make money. While my articles may contain affiliate links, I only work with affiliates that have products I use or believe in.
* Get Rich quick schemes, pyramid marketing schemes, or any other money scams


There's a lot more information at the web site!! Go to Gather Little by Little.

Three Month Anniversary

If you have been following my blog, you know that I am recovering from acute ozone poisoning. I'm delighted to report that I am healthy again. I lack strength and energy but that might be attributed to "old age"?! Both should return when we eventually get beyond our unseasonably wet Spring. I look forward to long walks!! With 20/20 hindsight, I recognize that I could have used the treadmill at the Senior Center. However, during recovery I haven't wanted to be in a social setting.

I have no breathing problems. As far as I can determine, I have no allergies. I don't suffer when the gardener mows the three-plus acres of lawn at this apartment complex. No sneezing, no itchy eyes....

Not surprising, perhaps, the stress of the severe illness recently triggered Shingles!! All-in-all, I've suffered a miserable eight months!!

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:28-29, 31 KJV

Life Is a Gift

Received as an e-mail, from a friend in Utah.
=========================

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I would marry you.'


One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.


He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.


Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'


This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.


Life Is a Gift


Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.


Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.


Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.


Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.


Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.


And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.


And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

=========================
I PRAY

THIS MOVES AROUND

THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...
=========================
