View Out the Window

Winter has officially arrived (before the official start of winter) here in exotic Toledo, Ohio and here is what it looks like out of my window where I sit and type, type, type.

Oh well I’m counting the days until spring until we can start our garden again (we are super big on organic gardening). Has anyone used that indoor garden (AeroGarden I think is the name)? I’m curious if those work. SKinney (my partner) won’t even HEAR about indoor growing of tomatoes (he’s one of those dirt and trowel snobs), personally I find it fascinating.

I found out about a new cool place to get paid for articles (thank you Trish!). It’s called BrightHub (www.brighthub.com/) and they pay $10.00 per article and they want a HUGE variety of topics to write about.

Last but not least, I’m getting toooo many emails a day from Charles Wellmore of Freelance Writers (you know the place that ropes in writers for an initial sign up fee of $2.95 and then a much higher monthly fee with absolutely not ONE person I know that has joined finding one single paying gig). I was getting one per day so I wrote them and asked to be removed from their mailing list.
Dumb move on my part.

Then I started getting TWO emails per day. I weighed the options of making this worse or trying to unsubscribe from a mailing list I never joined in the first place.I decided to try one last time to unsubscribe.Yep, now I’m getting 4-5 emails a day from Charles Wellmore’s joint. UGH!Stop the ride I wanna get off!Every other contact email for the place bounced back to me so I just set up a mail filter to send everything from the place to its own folder. At least it won’t be uglying up my Inbox.
