Va Va Voom and a way we go!

May 27, 2006 by Tricia

vavavoomheader

As I said recently on my other site I hate this part of the week. I dislike having to say no to so many people who bid to have a spot on my site each week.

I had an amazing 15 bids to choose from today. Just out of curiosity, why do you guys bid on my site? I know it’s not only because of the price. I charge 50 credits but I do work for them by making references to my new renter frequently. Is it because I have half decent stats in my past rentals history? Or because you get permanent links on my site as a bidder and the chosen renter? Just wonderin’.

I had almost decided to pick the new option to accept the first bidder, but I’m a little afraid of that option. I usually like most of the sites that put bids in, but what if the first bidder turned out to be a site I don’t like or that I would have a hard time thinking up things to promote them and get my readers to visit? With the luck I’ve been having this week that’s probably what would have happened.

After much thoughtful deliberation I’ve decided to go with Va Va Voom as my renter this week. I’ve admired her site since I first came across it. I love her writing style, and it turns out that she’s a wonderful artist. All the graphic images on her site have been created by Ms. Va Va Voom herself.

She’s recently discovered that she has a fascination with Big Butts. You should visit her and find out how she came across this recent discovery about herself. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed when you visit her site. It’s lovely to look at and use and her writing style keeps you entertained and interested in reading more.

Amazing site!

I’d really appreciate it if my visitors would take some time to visit a few of the sites that put bids in this week.:

Recommended: Recommends interesting products and software that can be found on the net.

Useless Advice from Useless Men: Ask your question and the Useless Men will answer, often in a humorous way. In the latest post a reader wants to know if it’s better to be Hot and lacking in other areas, or smart and lacking in the Hot department. Check out their answer.

Winged Emotion: A site by a fellow Canadian. This site often has weekly contests, and in fact has one going on right now.

Life is Fresh: Appears to be a new site. This site has some great gardening and herb growing tips.

Long Slow beautiful Dance: She has a great rant about the lady who caused her to get into a car accident the other day. Producer chick also holds contests now and then.

Paranoia and other pleasant things: Check out the recent story about her experience with Pepsi Gold.

Winsome Gunning Art Walk: I enjoy the art work on this site. Such talent. Take some time to go through the pages and view the paintings.

Clusterfook: I enjoy her writing style. This great lady recently did a writing marathon to raise money for cancer research. How can you not admire someone who does something like that?

Musings of a Juggling Mother: Her most recent post talks about the irony of it being the first official Drought Order day in England, yet it’s raining and has been raining for days on end.

My Corner of the Web: Suzannes trying to find some writing ideas so she’s opened up her site to her readers. Ask her some questions and she’ll find the answers and write about them in her latest posts.

The Writer Jerry: I really enjoy Jerry’s writing on this site. Check out his latest post “Potty Mouth” regarding auto-flush toilets.

The thirty year old college idiot: Must be a brave lady! She’s submitted her site to IT2M. I’ve thought about doing that, but I’m not sure I’m that I want to hear their opinion.

One writer’s rambles: The personal blog of an aspiring fiction writer.

Scooter McGavin’s 9th Green: His latest posts are some great articles of popular television shows and new records by musicians.

And that’s all Folks!

Who do I choose?

May 19, 2006 by Tricia

I put my site up for rent early this morning and when I checked there were 10 bidders! How am I supposed to choose?

Do I choose one of the youngest sites to promote it? I did think about doing that, but of the first 5 sites that I listed below one was created in May, and the other four in April! Arghhh.

Ok back to the old stand-by … who has bid here before and who has bid most often without yet being selected? Why that would be Noi from Voicing my thoughts, of course!

Noi has just finished redesigning her site and changing addresses too! She’s very happy with her new design so it would be nice of you to stop by and tell he what you think.

In her own words:
“You can call me Noi! From Singapore, this blog consists of thoughts I have chosen to share. Thoughts shape the person that you are and that is what this blog all about. Shaping myself under hot pressure so I can be a diamond. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! I believe in the law of sow and reap and whatever you do you will get it back. So if you do good, good will come to you if not..u know what will come to you.”

I’ve found her site to be very thoughtful and inspirational and I hope that you will too.

The Battle Rock Spot

May 12, 2006 by Tricia

My tenant this week is a law student whose studies are over for the summer. Unfortunately he won’t be sitting idly enjoying his summer vacation as he will be moving to another state and starting a new job. No rest for the wicked weary.

His most recent posts are amusing tales about a computer illiterate dry cleaner, and a robot like grocery store clerk. I’ve enjoyed his writing as I’ve gone through his posts, and I hope you will too. Visit the Battle Rock Spot and judge for yourself.

Some great reading can be found by visiting the other sites that bid on my space this week:

Get a Grip on Life

Winged Emotion

Advertising for Success

Jenster’s Blog

Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance

Consult a Goddess

Meltwater. Torrents. Meanderings. Delta

Enjoy!

What’s a Kid Zoo?

May 4, 2006 by Tricia

I had a really hard time deciding who to pick as a roomie this week. It was a very tough choice, but I kept coming back to a site that I’ve been reading for a while now- My Life in the kid Zoo.

Undercover Angel- as the owner of the site is known, is the mother of 4 children. Wow! Many of her posts are stories about interactions with her kids. They are well written, and often humorous. One of her latest posts is a bit sad, her husbands son is in foster care right now thanks to his ex, and Angel and Jake are very worried about this child and are hoping to get custody of him soon. Please give her some support on this issue. Oh and read her Thursday Thirteen – 13 Most Embarrassing Moments – it’s so funny.

Spreading some blog love, the other bidders were:

Stupid People Shouldn’t Breed – Observations about the stupid things people do, well written, humorous, also rates other sites on occasion. I liked this site enough that I plan to start reading it regularly. Check it out for yourself.

Useless Advice from Useless Men – Hilarious site. Write in with your questions and get advice from the useless men. Great reading.

All Night.org – Interesting site, latest post is about a creepy guy in the movie theater – sounds like a stalker, check it out.

– Personal diary, inspirational phrases, holiday photos

The T-Stop – Amazing writing, this is a site that I’m going to read regularly from now on. I enjoyed every post that I read on her main page.

Full Metal Photographer – Always has great photographs. I enjoy viewing this site daily to see what the latest photo is about.

A pile of Dog Bones?

April 26, 2006 by Tricia

That’s right, this weeks renter is A Pile of Dog Bones. I’ve been reading his site for the last few months as the posts are always interesting, entertaining and humorous. He occasionally talks about his work and his co-workers, creates posts about what other people are writing about on their sites- with insightful commentary, and tells tales about his interesting social life. The people in his life have been come regular characters on his site that you’ll want to hear more about.

In NYC watchdogs sticky post he talks about the child of a fellow paramedic. The child, Liam, is suffering from a rare disorder that causes him to be anemic, meaning that he needs regular transfusions of blood to stay alive. He talks about a Charity Blood drive being held in the child’s name on Saturday April 29th at the New York City Blood Center. If you happen to be in the area you should drop by and give some blood. You could help keep Liam or another person in need alive.

Where ever you are please consider donating blood at a local blood center. It’s amazing how much blood we use each day in the Emergency department. At any given time there are at least 5 people being transfused. The most frequent reason for a blood transfusion in our department is chronic or acute anemia due to a number of diseases, but even a severe nose bleed can cause you to loose enough blood that you need a transfusion. You never know when you might need a transfusion yourself. Please donate.

Visit Pile of Dog Bones and see for yourself how varied and interesting his site is, and tell him that Tricia sent you.

The other bidders were:

Infinitely pie an eclectic site – humor, insightful commentary and possibly a new feature- Psycho Ex Files (about crazy ex’s).Check it out.

The Crazy Housewife – A busy mom and her kids. Read about the “slinky” misadventure.

The Art of Getting By – Check out her post “Some like it hot” if you enjoy spicy food. Even with my bad tum I still like spicy food- but perhaps not quite as hot as she does.

Living with Multiple Personalities- an amazing site. Cat has been through a lot in her life and she’s slowly telling her story to the world. Her latest posts are a series telling the story of her teenage pregnancy. She has a number of readers hooked and eagerly awaiting her next post. Compelling stories and great writing.
