Creating a Simple Life

Simple things are worth blogging about

Archive for February, 2010

A hungry honey bee, will be a lucky bee, if they can find a hole on the comb that is filled with honey. The same goes for fishermen and gold miners too. We often hear about a fishermen that finds a good spot on the lake or river for catching lots of fish and the fishermen will call this his honey hole. The miner in search for gold, suddenly finds an area loaded with gold; will also refer to that spot as their honey hole. What online marketers and people on the Net that want to make money needs to do, is find their own honey hole online. Maybe some of you already have? Do you have a nice little program online that helps you to earn money daily, weekly, or monthly? If you don’t have your own little corner on the World Wide Web that you can go to for making money; maybe I can help you find a honey hole online for making money.

Two Honey Holes You Can Join Today

$1 Investment Honey Hole

$11 Investment Honey Hole

You have to be careful about programs wanting you to spend money to make money. Normally this goes against my own marketing rules and strategies, but these are 2 safe investments and anyone can do this. The first choice is the $1 Honey Hole and this may not be free to do, but I think most of you can afford 1 dollar. Especially after I explain what that $1 can do for you.

A one time investment of $1 will give you the chance to make $50! How does that sound for a honey hole? It’s not going to make us rich (at least not yet), but let me finish explaining how this powerful program (or honey hole) works. Once you pay your $1 to a current member in this system; that will make you eligible to be one of the random members next time someone joins. You can promote your own referral link for this program, to speed up your earnings. You will only make $50 for this first level. The fun part starts in the 2nd level of this program.

After you got $50, you can take 50% of your earnings and invest $25 into the 2nd level of this powerful online program. Your $25 will go to a random member and once you complete your 25 dollar payment to a random member, you’re now eligible to receive random $25 payments to your Alert Pay or Pay Pal accounts! This now becomes a true honey hole, because these payments can add up very fast. This isn’t the final step either. This honey hole continues to produce nice rewards the further you go up the levels. In level 3, you can choose to invest $100 and this will put you in-line to receive random payments of $100! Level 4 the investment price is $250 and this gives members random payments of $250 a pop. A couple of level 4 payments each week could equal or exceed what people working 40 hours a week are making now. This is truly great money and a honey hole worth taking a look at. Believe it or not, the program doesn’t stop at level 4. The final level is 5 and a one time investment of $1,000 will give you the chance to earn 1K each time a new member enters level 5. It only takes 1 member a week to get more money than most people earn on their weekly paychecks that work in a factory or real life job.

You don’t have to invest in levels 2 -5. The choice is always up to you. However, you will never pull new money out of your pocket. That original dollar you spent to join the program, is the only money that really came out of your pocket. The profits you make at each level pays for your entry fee into the next level; plus you’re making a profit too! This program is well-worth your time to join and promote online, since the earnings potential is so huge and only costs a dollar. This $1 honey hole began on February 21st 2010, so you’re getting in on the ground floor. Even if you join in March or April of 2010, you are still in the first wave of people, that will swarm into this new online program for making money. Just like honeybees swarm to a certain sweet spot to find their honey hole, you now have your own honey hole for making good money!

I do have one more honey hole to share with you and this one is probably better than the first suggestion, I gave you in this blog post. This is the $11 honey hole and you will need an Alert Pay account to pay your initial fee into this powerful program. I know if you’re like me, 11 dollars isn’t pocket change and something you don’t want to throw away. However, I feel comfortable recommending this $11 money making program to you, because I have been paid two timesand I have online friends that have joined and been paid too. This is an honest program and it does work. You have to be patient and things don’t start working over night. The process takes a little time to get going, but once it starts moving a little bit, you will really like this $11 honey hole.

Promoting your referral page is very important. You will want to show your referral page on free traffic exchanges; a few PTC (paid to click) sites; social networking websites like Twitter or Facebook; blogs, and perhaps adding it to your signature in message forums. These are the ways to promote the $11 program for free online. Be sure to share this new honey hole that you are about to join with your friends and co-workers at your job. I’m sure you have a few relatives that would like to join too and I will be happy to help you explain the $11 program with them. Just reply to this blog post or you can email me:  owlholler@hotmail.com(with $11 program or $1 program in the subject line of email) and let me know how I can help you.

The $11 Program rewards those that can promote and refer the best, but you also get to take full advantage of the spillovers and spillunders that occur often here. The more you can manage to land as direct referrals, the quicker this program will take off for you. This is a program that people should take long term views with and position their self for the big money; that may take a year or two to start coming in. To make your first $30 with this honey hole, you have to fill two spots on your first level and then another 4 spots on the second level. These 6 people will earn you $30; which will be paid pretty quick after you get the 6th person. It feels good to get that first $30 payment in, because you get the $11 back, that it took to sign up and you also make your first profit of $19. If you don’t have much luck with finding referrals, you can still do well with this $11 honey hole. Your sponsor above you can help with filling out your first 6 positions and they will also be assisting you with spillovers for future levels you will need to fill up later.

Once you pay your $11 to join, there is never a monthly fee or any other money that is required from you. This program hasn’t been around long either and it has lots of room to grow. Its popularity has took off in the early beginnings of 2010 and the main reason is because the admin pays their members fast and this system is creating spillunders and spillovers for everyone! You won’t be sorry you chose this program for your main honey hole online. Just remember it takes a little time for that snowball to start rolling down the hill, but the further it rolls, the more money you and the family, friends,  and co-workers you got to join under you will make. Stop wasting your time running around in circles and take your first step forward with this $11 program. Our online team of dedicated members are ready to welcome you in, to our circle of making real money online.

Can you handle two programs at once? If so, you may want to invest $12, so you can join both of these programs. The $1 program gives you a chance to find quick cash online and you can make that $12 back in no time. The $11 program may require a little more time to start seeing money, but it will start arriving in nice chunks when it does. Try your best to find a good friend to join directly under you, so you can see how a direct referral looks on your account there and plus this gives you a partner to attack this as a team. You want your own 2 to 5 person team, but you will still be benefiting from my team, that is already in place and ready to help you succeed.

Now the next time you hear a gold miner or fishermen say they have found a honey hole, you can let them know you have 2 honey holes! Good luck and I will be rooting for you from the sidelines! Heck, what am I saying? I won’t be on the sidelines, I will be right in the honey holes beside you, working shoulder to shoulder, to insure we both make plenty of money online. Only thing you need to do now is join and try to do a little something each day to find a new referral online, for one of these two powerful honey holes. You may not have any luck today or tomorrow, but as long as you do that little something each day, eventually you will discover a honey hole for finding referrals , for the honey holes we are promoting. How great does that sound? If you read this far down and read every word in this blog post; then I am fully confident you have what it takes to make money online with these two programs!

  • Life Insurance for Young People

    The sooner a person buys life insurance, the less they will have to pay down the road for premiums. A good example of this is with a whole life insurance policy. You don’t have to die to collect money from an insurance policy. A lot of these policies and insurance plans will be able to assist you with extra cash in the future. The sooner someone buys an insurance policy, the more money it can be worth in the future. This is money that you can use in your golden years or even sooner in many cases. The younger you’re, when you buy life insurance, the better chance you will have to reap some of the rewards in your living years. It’s a good investment for someone that is young and a lot of positive things can come from a life insurance plan. Young people don’t often give much thought for life insurance, but it’s something they should start considering more. It’s a good way for anyone to invest in their future.

  • Only 4 more countries remain in the ice hockey tournament that is currently underway in Vancouver. From all over the world eyes will be looking-in to see which team can be the last one standing in Western Canada. When Wednesday began in Vancouver, there was 8 teams left and after the games played on Wednesday, the field got a lot smaller. There was a couple of shocking games on Wednesday and none were bigger than what Canada did to the mighty Russian team.

    The men’s hockey team representing the host country of Canada was ready to play on Wednesday. The young sensation Sidney Crosby led his team from Canada to a blowout against the men’s team from Russia. The score was 4 to 1 in Canada’s favor after the first period was over. I don’t think the team from Russia knew what hit them; when they took to the ice on Wednesday. Canada has a loaded roster and they finally came out of their shell and showed what they was capable of doing. The final score was 7 to 3 and this win puts Canada one game away from the gold medal game. Russia’s talented team that was made up of players like Alexander Ovechikin and Ilya Kovalchuk will have to pack their bags now as their 2010 Olympic Dreams are now over with in Vancouver.

    Russia wasn’t the only team that suffered a devastating defeat on Wednesday. The team from Sweden came in as one of the best teams in the tournament and they got beat by the men’s team from Slovakia.

    This was a close game all the way through. It seemed Slovakia took control when they scored their 4th goal of the game and took a 4 to 2 lead in the 4th period. Sweden wasn’t going to be that easy to beat as they quickly came back and added their 3rd goal of the game within 1 minute of the Slovakian 4th period goal. There was still plenty of time left for Sweden to tie this one up, but Slovakia managed to hold on for the rest of the game. The last minute of this game was played in the Slovakia’s end of the defensive ice as Sweden sent everything they had. The extra skater for Sweden got a lot of ice time; when Sweden pulled their goalie for the extra skater. A lot of good opportunities were there, but Sweden couldn’t manage to get the puck pass the Slovakian goaltender.

    Slovakia’s win over Sweden is good news for Canada. They now get to play a team that doesn’t have the same talent level as the men’s team from Sweden. The match up between Canada and Slovakia will take place Friday night in Vancouver. Expect a big Canadian crowd for this event and the home ice advantage is going to be tough for the team from Slovakia to handle. No one gave Slovakia much of a chance to beat Sweden, so they might be happy as the underdogs, when they face the talented Canadian team Friday night.

    Before Canada and Slovakia face off on Friday night, the other half of the bracket will play in the afternoon game. This should be a very close game as Finland and the United States square off.

    The men’s USA team wasn’t given much of a chance to beat Canada on Sunday night and now hockey experts are wondering if anyone can beat the U.S. team. The strength of the USA team is in their defense. It all starts with the play of goaltender Ryan Miller. He has played very well in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. No team is going to have an easy time scoring goals against the Americans. The only team left in the Vancouver Olympics that uses defense to win games is the American team. Their focus on defense has got them in position to win a medal in Vancouver. If the US can beat Finland on Friday afternoon, they will be the first team to be placed in the Gold medal game. We won’t know who their opponent will be until we see who wins the match up between Slovakia and Canada.

    Does Finland have a chance to beat the U.S. ice hockey team? Yes, Finland comes in with a very strong team of NHL players and seeing them left as one of the 4 teams remaining is not shocking at all. A lot of people saw the team from Finland as one of the final teams to be playing in Vancouver. Finland is now only 1 win away from the gold medal game and expect their stars to lay it all out in Vancouver on Friday afternoon. Their main star is probably Teemu Selanne from the Anaheim Mighty Ducks (NHL Team). He’s fast and knows how to put the puck in the net. He will be a focus for the American defense to contend with and this should allow their other stars from the NHL to have a chance to shine in Vancouver. The game between the USA and Finland should be a close one as both teams will be fighting for a chance to play in the gold medal game in the 2010 Winter Olympics.

    Game 1

    USA .vs. Finland

    Game 2

    Canada .vs. Slovakia

    Those are the 4 teams left in the men’s ice hockey tournament in Vancouver. It has been fun watching all the teams compete in this year’s Winter Olympics. The hockey games are the thing I like best about the Winter Olympics. No other event compares to the talent level of these athletes and it’s a great team sport to watch in the Olympic events. It wasn’t always like this, but since the NHL guys get to participate now, it’s become the main attraction for the Olympic Games that gets played every 4 years. Congratulations to the 4 teams left in the ice hockey tournament and it should be fun seeing who wins the gold medal in Vancouver.

  • Hockey: Canada vs USA Sunday

    The hockey world in North America has a big game to watch on TV today. It will happen later today when the USA Olympic Hockey Team will face our neighbors to the north in a match up on the ice. Canada has one of the best teams on paper in the Olympic Games in Vancouver this year. It’s not likely the USA team will win today, but many Americans will be hoping for a miracle. The last one occured in 1980 when the USA Team beat the Russian team of professionals. We now have the professionals in our line up, but so does the Canadian team.

    Is it possible for a team with people like Dany Heatley, Rick Nash, Sidney Crosby, Jerome Ignila, and other talented NHL players to beat a team of young Americans? On paper there is no hope for the USA team today. However, there is a reason why we play these games and it’s to see who is really better. I will be rooting hard for the USA team today, but it’s hard to imagine how they can keep up with  one of the most talented teams to ever skate on the ice before. I’m not sure an All Star team from the NHL could defeat this team from Canada. Many think the Russians have the best team in Vancouver, but from the names I see on each squad’s roster, I think Canada is clearly the better team. It should be interesting to see just how close the guys from the USA can keep this game with Canada today.

  • Men Reducing Fat for Muscle

    Most men would love to trade their fat content in their bodies now for muscle. Muscle is much more attractive than the fat we carry around each day. I have extra fat on me now that I would like to get rid of. The fat burners for men is a good place to start. A product that will help reduce our fat content in the body is a good idea. I’m glad someone invented products like this for men. The next step for me would be to replace that fat with muscle. Unfortunately there is no products like that on the marketplace. To get muscle on our bodies we still have to do it the old fashion way. Exercise and lifting a few weights is still required for all men that want to add more muscles on their frame. I have trouble sticking with exercise programs, but I really need to find one that works. The faster I can see muscle building up on my body, the more I would be willing to lift weights each day or every other day. I hear that weight lifters should do their routines every other day and this allows time for the body to adjust. I’m just one of the many men right now that wants to replace fat for muscle.

  • Taking Care of the Colon

    A colon cleanser is one of the best ways to insure we have a healthy and productive colon. I have never had my colon cleaned before and I’m sure it is in need of a good cleaning. A colon cleanse product doesn’t cost that much money and the benefits it can provide is really good. A lot of bad things get built up in the colon and can cause problems down the road. We can get rid of these poisons and toxins with a colon cleanser. 10 years ago we didn’t hear much about getting our colons cleaned. Today the ads are all over the TV and computer for various products that can help us clean our colon. I think my body could use one of these products and this is something I need to do in the near future.

  • It appears President Obama is clearing the way for two new nuclear power plants to be built in the state of Georgia. No mention of where these power plants will be built in Georgia yet, but it’s one piece of real estate I would not want to be near. This will be the first time in more than 30 years that the U.S. Government has approved a new nuclear facility. Many people against these nuclear power plants say that there is no proper way to dispose of the radioactive material that these plants create.

    New power plants fueled with nuclear energy will help the United States to be less dependant of foreign oils. Nuclear energy is a cleaner fuel and will produce less greenhouse emissions that some of the coal plants that are in operation now. These two nuclear power plants in Georgia will cost about 8 billion dollars to construct. At least the government is giving a loan for 8 billion dollars and most of this money will go to Georgia, to build both of these nuclear power plants. The President is calling this “homegrown energy” but at some point in the future someone will be calling this a ”homegrown problem”.

    We do need to figure out ways to be less dependant on the Middle Eastern Nations that supply us with so much oil each year. We are in a collision course with a future energy crisis and it doesn’t look like we will avoid it. The oil in the ground can’t be pumped out forever and the Earth will run out of this precious oil in less than 25 years. We are using our oil reserves too fast now and everyone is going to see big changes in 20 years from now. I’m not convince that building nuclear power plants in Georgia is the best way to go, but these new power plants will create new jobs in Georgia. It seems a remote location in Alaska would be the idea place to build nuclear power plants, but Barrack Obama and his administration have their heart set on the state of Georgia. It should be interesting to see exactly where these two new power plants will be built in Georgia and I look forward to seeing the proposed areas.

  • Do you have any good tips for helping with those awful dark circles we get around the eyes? Please feel free to list any home remedies you may have tried or heard about. Some people will use hydrolyze to help with their problems associated with dark circles around the eyes. Have you ever tried this product before?

    I wonder how much sleep affects these dark circles? I know people that don’t get a good night’s sleep will have bags under their eyes. Sleep is important for many things and it’s a chance for our body to heal itself. If you are not getting a good night’s sleep, you may have a more serious problem than just the dark circles around the eyes. In some cases, sleep isn’t an issue and people with good sleeping patterns still develop these dark circles. If you know you’re getting plenty of sleep, maybe you should be looking for products or home remedies to assist with your eye problem.

  • People hate to see their computers get a virus or other unwanted junk on their computer systems. Anytime a computer owner can find a sale on virus or spyware protection they will usually buy it. I know I like to have the latest protection for my computer. It’s no fun when a virus infects your computer and causes frequent crashes or it just runs slower than normal. Buying a product today to help protect your computer can quickly become out-dated and it’s important to get a product that you can get free and frequent updates from.

    One choice consumers could make is with the Norton’s All-In-One Security program that helps multiple security issues. Some products will be designed to take care of one specific issue. An anti-virus program for protection will help against viruses, but may over look things like hijackers, trojans, malware, and other spyware threats that face computer users. I think I would prefer something like Norton is offering, so I wouldn’t miss as many threats to my computer system. This product would also be cheaper than if you went out and purchased several different programs to prevent and get rid of those security threats. I have used Norton products in the past and I have been satisfied with them. The guys from Norton do a good job with providing online updates, so your protection stays up-to-date. I can speak from experience and I know how important it is to keep your virus and spyware protections supplied with the latest updates.

    If you have never had any issues with a virus or something else that caused havoc on your computer system, then consider yourself lucky. Most have had some type of security threat at least once in their lifetime. It’s no fun when you do get one of these things in your computer and can’t figure out where it is and how to get rid of it. Prevention is really the best thing you can do to combat these different things that can infect your computers. Stop the bad things from coming in to start with and you don’t have to worry about getting rid of them. One of the Norton products is a good way to start with your prevention methods. I think I’m gonna get the all-in-one product that Norton is currently offering and see if I can protect myself against all threats online and save a little money at the same time too. Being online is a great thing, but the party can quickly get ruined; when some of these high-tech security threats make their way in. Get some form of protection today or make sure the programs you’re using now are up-to-date.

  • The New Observation Deck in Space

    A new mission has been completed up in space. The guys working on the Space Station have successfully added an observation deck to the space craft they rely on to keep them safe in outer space. This was not a cheap project for the crew that make up the International Space Station. The new observation deck cost 27 million dollars. I doubt anyone on Earth has ever spent that kind of money on a deck or overlook for their home.

    This is just another toy for the guys that are lucky enough to get a chance to experience life on the Space Station. One day we may get to see ordinary citizens have the opportunity to travel to the space station. I’m not sure if I would ever want to go or not. I would love it once I got up there and I would like to see the Earth from outer space. I just don’t trust the travel methods that are in place now that gets these brave men and women to the International Space Station. It takes a powerful rocket system to get those astronauts in outer space and a lot of things have to go right in order for this to succeed. I’m not sure how long it took these guys to build their new observation deck, but sometimes the smallest things can take a lot of time when your working outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. If NASA gave you the chance to visit the space station one day, would you like to go? I don’t think we are too far away from seeing normal people make the long trip into outer space.

  • Women Seeking Health Supplements

    In recent years we have been able to learn more about the effect of vitamins and supplements on the body. Using vitamins over a long sustained period of time has shown good results in men and women both. Sometimes these vitamins provide essential minerals that our body doesn’t produce daily, but needs it in order to perform it’s daily duties. It works best when we get these minerals from our food, but for those that don’t eat balanced meals each day, this can become a problem.

    We see more and more women today taking vitamins. It’s not just the prenatal vitamins either, but the vitamins that provide other health benefits. Women are living healthier lives as a result of a lot of the vitamins they are taking each day. All women should consider some type of vitamin to include in their diets. It doesn’t have to be a daily thing, but every other day would be a good starting point. The women that like to go on diets to lose weight, may need vitamins to get the minerals their bodies need daily. It can be dangerous eating less foods and relying on vitamins for your nutrition. Asking your doctor is always the best method for safe and effective results. Try to get your daily requirements from the foods you eat each day and rely on vitamins as a 2nd source of good health. As long as women continue to buy and use these health supplements; look for the drug companies to continue to mass produce supplements and vitamins for women.

  • Selling Old Gold for Cash Now

    A lot of buzz still continues over the price of gold. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to sell your gold right now. Many experts think the price of gold will keep going up this year. I know it’s tempting with gold prices around $1100 an ounce right now. If you knew gold would be at $1600 or $1800 an ounce at the end of this year would you want to wait then? What if gold goes over 2k an ounce in 2011? These are possibilities right now and not totally out of the question.

    If people continue to sell their gold at the current prices, then this will help keep the gold supplies strong. We need to keep the demand for gold high and we can do this by not selling our gold now. If you don’t need the extra money now, just hold on to your gold jewelry for at least 1 more year. The few hundred you can make right now could be closer to 1000 dollars if you and others will wait. The people looking to profit with gold should help spread the word and let’s stop selling our gold!

    I know there is many new gold investors in the world now compared to this time last year. Gold prices have been going up for the last 18 months or so. It does appear prices are leveling off just a bit now. The main reason for this is due to the individuals and companies that are cashing in their gold supplies. We have seen a sharp increase in the gold supplies. We won’t be able to break new records if people, pawn shops, and other gold related businesses continue to provide gold into the marketplace. The key is to diminish our current gold supplies in the market and increase our personal ownerships in the shinny, yellow metal. We need to be buying and collecting gold. Selling gold is not the answer for those that would like to see gold trading for $1,600 an ounce or higher. If everyone will just stop selling their gold coins and gold jewelry, I do think $1,600 is possible in 2010.

  • The last couple of weekends has been very interesting in the National Football League. The 2009 NFL season is now complete and there are no more NFL games to be played. The Super Bowl was played last Sunday between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. All eyes turned to Miami last Sunday to watch the last 2 teams standing in the NFL playoffs. It was an exciting season and a lot of good games were played that led up to the Super Bowl in South Florida. A very old quarterback from Minnesota and the rookie quarterback from the New York Jets was just a couple of the stories that made football interesting. While some may have not seen Brett Favre as a underdog; there were a lot of people not giving the Saints a chance to beat Peyton Manning in Super Bowl 44. The football fans that like to bet on sports were picking the Colts to win in most parts of the country. I was just curious to know how many of you picked the Saints to win?

    It’s been 4 years since Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans and even caused severe damage on the Superdome that the New Orleans Saints call home. No hurricane or NFL team for that matter was going to stop the Saints this year. Drew Brees played as well as any quarterback has ever played before. His great arm and a brilliant on-side kick to start the 3rd quarter was enough to upset the mighty Indianapolis Colts. Everyone that laid down their money on the Saints to win, probably got a nice little payout last weekend. I’m not sure exactly what the odds were, but you would have won more money with the Saints winning the Super Bowl; than you would have won, if the Colts had beaten the Saints. The Saints were the the underdogs in the Super Bowl, so the football fans that like to bet on football, can get higher returns on their bets, if they are brave enough to pick the underdog. I am very happy for the Saints team and I think everyone was glad to see the city of New Orleans get a little good news for a change.

    This Sunday is Valentines Day and NASCAR starts their season. Their very first race each year is called the Daytona 500 and many consider this the Super Bowl of auto racing. So in a way, the state of Florida is hosting 2 Super Bowls in back to back Sundays. There will be a lot of sports betting for the Daytona 500 and you never know which driver will be the one to cross the finish line first. You have a 1 in 43 chance of picking the winner, so even going with a favorite like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, or Dale Earnhardt Junior; the odds are still stacked against you. The money used to bet on the Daytona 500 will pale in comparison to the Super Bowl bets. However, this first race of the year will probably have more bets surrounding it than the next 5 NASCAR races in the 2010 season. It may sound strange to call your first race the “Super Bowl of NASCAR“, but that’s just one of the traditions in this sport. I just wish I knew the winner, so I could place a bet and win some money, like the lucky folks that took the Saints in last weekend’s football game.
