I have looked at the freewebs site helping needy families and I am a bit uneasy about them asking people to pay $2.99 to recieve help. They don't have any information about them that I could see, I don't know but my gut says something doesn't seem right.

Not only that I just read that the $2.99 is said to keep the site up and running. How much does it cost to keep a free website going

I am terrified of the dentist also but let me tell you the way you feel afterwards is great. Just let them know upfront you are scared and they are normally very comforting. I cried during my whole visit and the woman held my hand and gave me a hug before I left. They really treated me great and made me feel comfortable. Even when the oral surgeon was doing the work on my mouth the original dentist who had seen me came in and held my hand part of the time. Here is a link to Soulights dental resources page, trust me on this nothing is worse then the pain you are going through now, it will be a relief to know that you will feel so much better once your work is all done.

Thank you for sharing your story, I am sorry you have had to go through such an ordeal, I will be waiting to read the rest.

I can't even begin to find words...

My own father walked out of my life when I was 9 I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was waiting by the window with my bags packed and he never showed. At age 13 he stopped paying child support, then by age 14 when we could get him into court he wanted to be daddy all over again. I stood up and said forget you ever had a daughter and that was that. When I turned 22 I decided maybe I should make peace with him and I did which lasted 2 years. I gave it a good effort only to feel unwelcome. I have now once again cut off all ties with him, you can't have something that was never really there. Dads need to realize when they walk out they can never make up for lost time. They can never mend the broken hearts they leave behind.

Thank you Elaine! Well Who~Knew has researched non profits and found there's more work involved then thought of. As far as good folk helping others goes, that's the way I was raised. You never turn your back on anyone. Christie

You don't want to say that because I will have this whole page filled up with songs lol.

I just wanted to share myspace profile with you mainly just because I think the slideshow pictures are so cute

I'll put this here too Thank you Who~Knew and Soulight. I had to sit on my thoughts for a minute. I greatly appreciate Soulight and Who~Knew for standing up for me. We at Aidpage should look out for eachother. I also want to say I do not need an apology, I did what I felt was right and if I have to take a couple punches to help other people then that's fine by me. I am here to look out for people and to help people and no one will discourage me from doing just that. Christie

I want to clarify for everyone I did not email Hondamatic numerous times (Isent him one message and then replied to his message) also just so everyone knows I was not rude to this person. If this person wouldn't have deleted my messages everyone would see that I had only mentioned the only way to make money with programs such as the one this person was promoting was to build a downline. At this time it was not mentioned in their ad that you needed a downline to make $50 a week. Nothing is clearly stated on the frontpage of the website this person is promoting you have to go to another page which explains about referral bonuses. Like I said before I am not putting down the program, it is a very nice program and I have only heard good things about this program. I just don't think it should be advertised in a misleading way.

For one thing it is my business to make sure people here are well informed, I am here to help people and therefore I will inform people of things they may or may not understand. Well if everything I said is untrue then I guess me saying your program pays is untrue and that it is a good site to be a member of is untrue. Not once did I put you down so don't put me down. I only want people here to understand what they may not understand. If they are better informed then they can make wise decisions. And one last thing you may not lie to people but you mislead them to me there is no difference.

You have probably noticed one PTR site on here. Now I am not putting this site down, it has a reputation of paying members and from what I have read is a good site to be a part of. This is not what I want to talk about.

First off I was naïve and joined quite a few PTR’s in the past; low $5 payouts, high $35 payouts, sign up bonuses and payouts weekly I thought wow I could join this many and make this much a week all by reading my emails. Let me tell you it’s not that easy, yes I did make an income, it was enough to cover my internet and it was hard work. You see what these programs don’t tell you and what the people who want you to sign up under them don’t tell you is that the only way to make money doing these is to have referrals. Now getting referrals isn’t an easy task. You have to be active anywhere that gives you an opportunity to promote your link, sometimes you join other ptr programs just to promote your links and it goes on and on. It is hard work until you build a nice downline.

I would spend 12 hours on the computer a day just reading emails, then time and time again I was fighting spyware and viruses I would pick up from these programs. To me it wasn’t worth the hassle.

My advice to you if you join any paid to read email programs know what you are getting into. There are many legit programs who will pay you just realize the work that has to be put into getting paid.

Ok this has got to be the weirdest one I have heard I was talking to a friend and she told me about this, I guess she had read it somewhere. Selling pigeon droppings for fertilizer, it makes sense they are high in nitrogen. How to collect it I wouldn't have a clue, but if you can figure it out more power to you.

Soulight you really have such great information, I know it has helped so many people. The world is a great place with you here. Christie

its me again I was checking out some of your links and one thing I have found I am good at is checking website I visit to see if they have an affiliate program. Well some of them you listed do have an affiliate program, you should sign up for them and get paid for someone visiting their site or buying from it instead of doing it for free. Here are the ones I have found that you could sign up for

Alyssa Lies Jason Michael Carroll My little girl met a new friend Just the other day On the playground at school Between the tires and the swings But she came home with tear-filled eyes And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies" I just brushed it off at first Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt Or the things she had seen I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me And she said Chorus Alyssa Lies To the classroom Alyssa lies Everyday at school Alyssa lies To the teacher As she tries to cover every bruise My little girl laid her head down That night to go to sleep As I stepped out the room I heard her say A prayer so soft and sweet God bless my mom and my dad And my new friend Alyssa I know she needs it bad Chorus I had the worst night of sleep in years As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears I knew just what it was I had to do But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad The lump in my throat grew bigger With every question that she asked Until I felt the tears run down my face And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today She doesn't lie In the classroom She doesn't lie Anymore at school Alyssa lies With Jesus Because there's nothing anyone would do Tears filled my eyes When my little girl asked me why Alyssa lies Daddy tell me why Alyssa lies

I am big on telling people to save money, live more frugally and so forth and so on. Then I realized I am giving everyone a lot to swallow, it took me forever it seems like to remember to do things to save my money. How can I expect others to learn it all at once. So I am making daily challenges, not only will it be good on your wallet but some things are naturally good for the environment. We will start off simple, it's easier to take baby steps then to jump in head first.

I will put daily challenges the night before

Thursday July 12

Today we need to keep doing our previous challenges

1. No lights on during the day
2. Stop watching Tv for extended periods
3. Keep electronics and or appliances unplugged

Now for the new challenges

• Eat a meatless dish tonight.
• Cut your fabric softener sheets in half

*Bonus* If you pay for your water or even if you don't try taking your shower in ten minutes or less.

Wednesday July 11

This will be day two for our challenges I hope everyone tried at least one thing yesterday, today not only are we going to add new challenges I also want you to continue to keep your lights off during the day. This will save you electricity and it will keep your house cooler.

• Do you watch tv during the day for extended periods of time? Well stop, read a book you borrowed from the library, go for a walk just do something else besides watch tv. It will save electricity.
• Go through the house and unplug appliances and/or electronics you don't use everyday or even ones that you do use often but could live without their instant on features (or clocks in my case). The electronics and appliances that have the instant on features and little lights on them leech your electricity. Though it isn't a lot, but your money is still being wasted.

*Bonus*  Of course some of you may have already paid your bills if you have keep this in mind for when you have to pay them again and if you are about to don't forget to do this. I want you to pay at least an extra 10 cents on each of your bills. Don't give me an odd look, yes I said at least an extra 10 cents. Don't say that's not much because it is.  I want you to do it every month and act like you don't do it at all after a while you will have a little cushion to fall on if you ever need it. 

Tuesday July 10

• Get a clean container and put one nickel in it, this will be the beginning of your savings and your start to a brighter future
• Do not turn your lights on during the day

*Bonus* Buy one compact fluorescent light bulb this will save you money on your electricity and it won't heat up the room while on like normal light bulbs do.

The Christmas Shoes Newsong It was almost Christmas time And there I stood in another line Trying to buy that last gift or two Not really in the Christmas mood And standin right in front of me was a Little boy waiting anxiously Pacin around like little boys do And in his hands he held A pair of shoes and His clothes were worn and old He was dirty from head to toe And when it came his time to pay I couldn't beleive what I heard him say CHORUS: Sir I wanna buy these shoes For my mama. please It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry sir Daddy says there's not much time You see, She's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes will make her smile And I Want her to look beautiful If mama meets Jesus tonight They counted penny's for what seemed like years then the Cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here." He searched his pockets frantically Then he turned and he looked at me and he said "Mama made Christmas good at our house though Most years she just did without, Tell me sir, What am I gonna do? Some how I gotta buy her these Christmas shoes." So I laid the money down I just had to help him out And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said, "Mama's gonna look so great." Sir I wanna buy these shoes For my mama. please It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry sir Daddy says there's not much time You see, She's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes will make her smile And I Want her to look beautiful If mama meets Jesus tonight I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love as he thanked me and ran out I knew that God had sent me that little boy to remind me what Christmas is all about Sir I wanna buy these shoes For my mama. please It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry sir Daddy says there's not much time You see, She's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes will make her smile And I Want her to look beautiful If mama meets Jesus tonight I Want her to look beautiful If mama meets Jesus tonight

One Safe Place Marc Cohn How many roads you’ve traveled How many dreams you’ve chased Across sand and sky and gravel Looking for one safe place Will you make a smoother landing When you break your fall from grace Into the arms of understanding Looking for one safe place Life is trial by fire And love’s the sweetest taste And I pray it lifts us higher To one safe place How many roads we’ve traveled How many dreams we’ve chased Across sand and sky and gravel Looking for one safe place

Maybe you have fallen on hard times who am I to judge but I just can't help but feel no pity. If you are living in a $680,000 house then maybe you should downsize. Then you're financial troubles should be solved.

Just recently a rapist moved near my home, so I thought it would be a good idea for me to learn how to keep my children and myself safe and to share this information with others as well.

No rape prevention strategy is foolproof. But you can avoid making yourself an easy victim by taking the following precautions.

Protect yourself against rape

"Every woman is a potential rape victim. Rapists tend to look for women who are more likely to be easy victims. But there are things women can do to protect themselves and reduce the risk." — Andrea Parrot, rape expert

The Oprah Winfrey Show How to Protect yourself

Every woman, no matter where you live or who you are, is at risk. Thousands of rapists remain free and continue to attack because their victims don't report the rapes. Just as author Andrea Parrot says, "Victims don't ever deserve the crimes committed against them." Victims are also instrumental in preventing numbers like these from growing.

Rape Facts

Rape and sexual assault are widespread problems. The use of psychoactive drugs makes a dangerous situation even more dangerous.

Protecting yourself from date rape

There are many misconceptions about sexual offenses, sexual offense victims, and sex offenders in our society. Much has been learned about these behaviors and populations in the past decade and this information is being used to develop more effective criminal justice interventions throughout the country. This document serves to inform citizens, policy makers, and practitioners about sex offenders and their victims, addressing the facts that underlie common assumptions both true and false in this rapidly evolving field.

Myths and facts about sex offenders

Rape is a violent crime, an invasion, a frightening experience. Rape affects all women, no matter what their age, race or economic status. All women are potential victims of sexual assault.

I have hung the picture of the rapist who moved in on my refrigerator, though my kids know to stay away from strangers I have made it clear they stay further away from this man. They aren't even allowed to go down his street.

Thank you for the great ideas!!
