Annoying Blinking Ads
A while back, folks were upset by some rather graphic content that was coming up in ads from one of the advertising networks Persona Paper uses to generate income. I wasn't too keen on these particular ads, myself. Even though I prefer family-friendly co
Still Catching up on My Bookkeeping

New Doctor
I saw a new doctor today. I'm going to keep her as my primary physician if she accepts the new plan my insurance is changing me to in January. She said she thought they would take it, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I actually had a good experience a
Good Smell Made Me Sick
I just came home from work and suddenly a man knocking at our door and said that he has to #work to stain the #floor. We have no plans to go out since I am tired and I felt lazy to go out after work and so we decided to just stay. At first it was a

One cent Per Post Here
So far I now get one centavo per post here on persona paper. It is not as much as I get from the other sites I write for but I am keeping my account here warm as I wait and see if this site grows to be a big earner too. I am not here full time since I have

Work Work Work
Work is getting crazy busy, and everyone's feeling the pressure. I like the challenge but I have to remind myself not to let myself feel overwhelmed because what usually happens is that I'll keep telling myself, "I'm fine, I'm fine..." then one day I'll 'c
Just When I Thought Things Would Get Back to Normal

Why I Have Quit Affiliate Marketing, Altogether
In short, it's a sucker's bet. And, anyone who comes along here trying to say otherwise is either part of the organized #criminals and #con artists' #team or is deceived, themselves. I don't expect to make any #friends in saying this. I even think there wi
Lost an Article in Progress

Yahoo! Voices Will Be Quieted Soon Though It Is Where I Found My Voice
It was in December 2008 that a retired Air Force acquaintance suggested to me that I should submit a patriotic piece I had written to a site called, "Associated Content" (AC). I did not think that anyone would want to read it, but I looked into it an
I Have Some Odd Shifts this Coming Week
