If you make international calls you can save some money

by

Have I told you about Pingo.com’s International calling cards yet? I don’t know if you make a lot of long distance calls on your home phone or on your cell phone but if you do you might be interested in the savings you can get by using a calling card instead of your current telephone service to make your calls.

You can save up to 90% when you use a Pingo.com calling card to make calls to over 35 countries using your mobile phone. Imagine that. My cell phone company charges me so much for long distance I rarely use it for anything but local calls but now that I know how much I can save I think I might get a pingo calling card for those times when I do need to make a long distance call using my cell phone.

One thing that I like about this company is that you can purchase your International calling cards online and you can use them right away. In fact you can use your calling card immediately after registering as all you need in order to use your card is your personal pin number. If you’ve been using your card a lot and it’s getting low on funds you can recharge your card from any computer. Simply log onto the pingo.com site and top up your card. Easy easy. Try it for yourself.

My Store

by

Did anyone notice my store yet? The link to it is at the top of the left sidebar.

It’s one of those AMAZON stores, and I filled the store with just about every product that Amazon carries.

I was hoping that perhaps, if some of my visitors already shop at Amazon if you might do some of your shopping through my Amazon store? I’ll get a small commission and you’ll be helping me earn a little bit of money- which I need since I’m not working due to my illness.

I’d really appreciate it if you would use my store if you are going to shop at Amazon anyway. Please, please please? You’ll get the products you want for a good price and you’ll be helping out a bloggin friend at the same time.

Thanks!

I’m not missing

I’ve been getting notes of concern from my blogging friends lately. It seems my sticky post up top is causing some confusion and people haven’t scrolled down to see that there are current posts below the sticky post.

I’m here folks! Really! Posting away like a good blogger should be.

I haven’t been feeling well for most of this week though, unfortunately, and this has caused me to make very few of my regular visits to the blogs that I normally frequent. That’s probably added to the confusion.

Even though I haven’t been feeling the best these days I am still plugging away behind the scenes. I’m writing more posts than ever. Just take a look at the number of posts in my October and November Archives and you’ll see that I’ve started writing more than 100 posts per month. That’s a lot!

In fact I’ve been writing so much that I’ve started to think about becoming a professional blogger. I keep hoping that I’ll get back to my job as an ER nurse, but if I don’t start feeling better soon that may not happen. Even if I do go back I’m not sure I’ll be able to do 4 12 hour shifts in a row again, so I might switch to part time nursing if I can’t handle it.

With that in mind I’ve applied for a few blogging positions. Most only involve writing at most a post a day on a blog, some require fewer posts per week. Why not try it out.
