Introduction to Internet Marketing for Baby Boomers or Anyone Else
Hello. I am a Baby Boomer, born in 1952. Don't get me wrong. I love my age. I have no problem with aging or with who I am. But here is my problem. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have been nursing for nearly 40 years. I am tired of working for a boss. I hate working for the JOB any longer. So I decided to figure out this internet thing. What is all the hoopla about? Can you really earn a living online? Be your own boss? Work from home?
Well I gotta tell ya. You can. I am far from an expert, well maybe in nursing you could say that about me. But I am really just another newbie in internet marketing.
But let me tell you something about me. I love i! and I have figured a few things out. I am getting somewhere. I have plans and goals that I am meeting. It is really rather exciting.
And what I do best is help people. It is in my nature. Too many years nursing maybe, but I like helping people. So I decided to help people by sharing what I know and hopefully you will be able to quit your jobs too.
Anyway, come by from time to time and see what is happening and what you might find useful. You might be surprised.

Why Do You Need An Accessory and Camera Backpack
I am not nor have I ever been a professional photographer. Who cares? I love photography, just good old picture taking. Ever since I got my Canon, I have been snapping away. And I have taken a few really nice pictures. Although mostly of my animals. But I have a ton of fun.
But why do I feel this camera bag is so good, Because there is just nothing it won't hold. If there is one thing that is important to me it is to have everything I might need, with me, when I actually do need or want it. I hate not having it with me, whatever it is.
This bag will hold your cameras, your accessories, everything! It's great!

FlavorWave Turbo Cooking Oven
This aging thing is really taking a toll on me. About three years ago I started having problems with arthritis. It is challenging for me to stand for very long at a time. My back, knees and legs is screaming within 20 minutes. So as a result, cooking is very difficult and it certainly is less fun.
Well I decided to investigate the FlavorWave Turbo Oven. I have a confession to make I am an infomercial addict. I love watching them. Sometimes even the dumb ones are entertainment. So one night the FlavorWave Turbo Oven infomercial came on. Wow, it was awesome.
Now there was a time in our lives that my husband and I would buy a lot of useless stuff from infomercials just because it was such a good bargain, or just so interesting, or we were sure it was just what we were looking for. Well needless to say, we had an awful lot of JUNK in our basement. We got over that. We don’t torture ourselves anymore. But this one was different.

Tips for Reposting an Older Post
It’s Christmas week, and most of us have things we’d rather be doing than sitting in front of the computer blogging. But if you consider blogging more than a hobby, you may feel a responsibility or obligation to continue posting for readers who might be expecting posts from you. You could write ahead, scheduling posts so that you’re still sharing new content even while off enjoying your family, but if that just feels like one more thing on your to-do list, reposting older posts may be a better solution.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when reposting older posts:

Feral Cats - It's Not How You Might Think

Lunar Eclipse 2010
An amazing event that shouldn't be ignored. May be awhile before I get to see this again.
Amplify’d from hubpages.com
Eclipse-A spectacular Lunar Event
An amazing celestial event is taking place late December 20th to early morning, December 21st on the east coast in the USA. The earth and the sun will interact to make a lunar eclipse. Not everyone on the planet will see the eclipse. North and Central America and Small part of South America will have the best view. Western Europe will be able to see the beginning of the spectacular sky event and Western Asia will only see the very end.
This eclipse happens at the winter solstice, and the moon will appear very high in the sky. The NASA experts are predicting the moon will appear bright red or orange.
The whole show is going to last about 31/2 hours. The hope is of course for clear skies. When the moon is completely eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow will last just a bit over an hour.

fingerless gloves free knitting pattern
I love fingerless gloves. They keep your hands warm and your fingers are free for typing or anything. But amazingly enough your fingers are warm too. Here is a free pattern for some nice simple and very pretty ones.
Amplify’d from www.favecrafts.com
Julianne Fingerless Gloves
These knitted gloves offer lots of warmth for the hands and wrists with the fingers free. This glove is shaped to fit comfortably around each finger.
Materials:
- Yarn: Brown Sheep Lambs Pride-Bulky, wool and mohair. 1 skein or 125 yds of bulky yarn.
- Knitting Board (26 needles)
- Knit hook
- Crochet hook
- Large eyed sewing needle
Measurements: 8” bottom of fingers to cuff, aprox 10” around base of fingers, 12” at fullest point
Instructions:
Gauge: 2.5 sts=1”
- Start glove at cuff in rib stitch.
- Cast On 18 stitches in rib stitch. Lay anchor yarn of same yarn.
- Knit 10 rows in rib stitch.
- Change to Stockinette stitch for the remainder of glove.
- Knit 1 row in stockinette stitch.
- Increase 1 stitch each end of board. Knit row.
- Knit 1 row in stockinette stitch.
- Repeat these two rows a total of 2 additional times. You have added a total of 6 new stitches or now have 24 stitches on your knitting board.
- Knit 1 additional row.
- Thumb Shaping:
- Bind Off 3 stitches at each end of the knitting board. At yarn end, be sure to lay the working yarn between the 2 rows of needles. This way it will be in position for the next row. Place the last bind off loop onto the 4th needle on either board. Knit 2 rows in stockinette. Be sure to lift both lower loops at needles with extra loop. All
- needles will have just one loop.
- Increase row: You will do 3 increases in the same row.
- Shift all loops on left end of board over 1 needle till you get to center of knitting. This will leave an empty needle in center of knitting. Increase to empty needle from needle on right side of empty needle.
- Increase each end of board. You should now have 21 stitches on your knitting board.
- Knit 1 row across all stitches.
- Center Bind Off:
- You will shape the center of the knitting for the little finger.
- Go to center of stitches. (10 on one side and 11 on the other).
- Bind off from center to left, 2 stitches. Place the loop onto the next needle.
- Bind off from center to right, 2 stitches. Place the loop onto the next needle, same board. You now have 2 sections of knitting.
- Start at end with yarn attached. Knit 1 row of this section only.
- Decrease 1 stitch at beginning of next row. Knit this row.
- Bind Off loosely. Cut yarn.
- Work the other side of board. Start by tying on the yarn at beginning of section.
- Knit 1 row of this section.
- Decrease 1 stitch at end of next row. Knit this row.
- Bind Off loosely. Cut yarn.
- This is how your knitted piece will look:
- Sewing and Finishing:
- Fold glove, matching the thumb shapes and the top and bottom of glove.
- Use invisible stitch to do the side seam.
- Sew from bottom of cuff to thumb shaping. Do not sew the bind off stitches as this is what wraps around the thumb.
- Knot the yarn. Sew from the top of the thumb to top of glove.
- Place glove on hand and mark the points that correspond to the space between the fingers.
- You can secure these points with a short piece of yarn by tying the two sides of glove together. It will be a ‘tacking’ of the 3 points between the fingers. If you want a more distinct finish around the finger openings, you can crochet the edge around each finger, securing the 2 sides of glove at each contact point. Either way, the glove is set to fit your fingers and thumb.
- Bottom at cuff: Your bottom edge is ready to finish off. It can be left as is by tying the anchor yarn loosely and leaving it in. Or you can bind off the edge with the crochet hook. To bind off, start at end opposite your yarn tail. Pick up 2 loops, pull loop closest to hook thru the other. Pick up 1 additional loop and pull one thru the other. Keep doing this until you have gone around the cuff. Pull yarn tail thru the last loop for a knot. Secure all yarn tails by pulling them into the knitting with the crochet hook. You may want to add extra stitch and knot at all stress points.
- Knit the 2nd glove.

What to Knit When Knitting for Baby?
It is impossible to knit without thinking about knitting for baby. They seem to be the number one target of any knitter, experienced or new. And could it be any other way, they are so cute and so precious. They represent who you are and the future of where you are going. Why wouldn't you want to expend your crafting energy knitting some little something for them.
Simple Baby Knitting Patterns
You never know where life will take you. There is always something cropping up to distract you from the really important things like Knitting.If you are a serious knitter, you know what I mean.
Baby Knitting Patterns For Revival of a Wonderful Hobby
Knitting is on the upswing! This is now a very popular time for using your baby knitting patterns. Since I have many baby patterns lying around it seems the perfect time to start a revival.
Easy Knitting Patterns Can Help Your Determination to Enjoy Knitting
Please don't allow anyone or anything to stop you from knitting for your baby or anyone else's. There is just no reason for you not to enjoy the pleasure of seeing something being made from needles and yarn right before your eyes with your own hands. It is really remarkable the feeling you get when you start knitting. And the trick to this is simply to use easy knitting patterns.
Baby Knit Patterns
Baby knit patterns can be intimidating to some people, especially if you are new to knitting. They may seem too delicate or you may feel you are all thumbs and how could you possibly make this tiny thing. Well get over that, nothing could be further from the truth.
So what do you think? Was my backlinking idea a good one? And can you blame me for becoming addicted to Squidoo? It is such great fun, backlinks or not!

Gastric Bypass Diet Safe Banana Bread Recipe
Welcome in Fall by baking a loaf of
“Olma Elsie’s” Banana Bread
A Gastric Bypass diet approved recipe.
Although banana bread is good anytime of the year, there is nothing that compares to a fresh baked loaf of banana bread warm from the oven. Its aroma fills your home with a sweetness that even the finest candle companies can’t replicate. This family recipe was adapted with Baking Splenda. The recipe uses half the amount of regular sugar. Baking Splenda is a sugar blend. It incorporates granulated Splenda with refined sugar. The end product will render 3gm of sugar in the serving, which is legal on the Gastric Bypass Diet. If you choose to make this bread with the granulated Splenda and make it Sugar Free, there is a technique that you’ll need to know to ensure a successful out come.
INGREDIENTS:
* ½ Cup “ Sugar Blend” baking Splenda
* 2 Cups all purpose flour, sifted
* 1 tsp. Baking soda
* ½ tsp salt
* 2 eggs
* 1 stick butter, softened, but not melted
* 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
* 4 –5 ripe bananas
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a bowl cream together 1 stick of softened butter and ½ C Sugar Blend Splenda. Beat until fluffy and well creamed. Add eggs, one at a time to incorporate well into the mixture. Sift 2 cups of all purpose flour, 1tsp. baking soda and ½ tsp. salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to your creamed mixture.
Once blended, add 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Now begin adding the bananas. Instead of mashing the bananas, cut into pieces and add them one at a time. Blend well. The mixture will appear lumpy. If you’d like to add nuts, it’s totally optional. ½ cup chopped nuts of your choice can be added at this time.
Generously spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into the pan and bake on the middle rack on 350-degree oven for 55 – 60 minutes.
* Optional * before placing in the oven lightly sprinkle 1 tsp. of the sugar blend Splenda to the top of the loaf. This topping will give the loaf a sweet crust.
Check loaf by inserting a wooden toothpick into the middle of the loaf. If the toothpick is dry the loaf is done. Any moisture on the toothpick requires more baking time in 5 minutes increments. When done, remove from the oven and cool on a tack 20 –30 minutes. Gently turn pan and tap to remove loaf. Continue to cool on rack. Eat and Enjoy!!
* If you choose to make this with granulated Splenda and therefore Sugar Free, you must add the Splenda to your dry ingredients. Blend your eggs and butter, beating until fluffy, then add the sifted flour, baking soda, salt and granulated Splenda. Compete the remaining steps as above*
Technorati Tags: Banana Bread, banana bread recipe, desserts, Gastric bypass diet, gastric bypass safe recipe, recipe, recipes, splenda recipe, sugar free recipe
Is this the most delicious looking bread, and it is a splenda sugar blend giving it only 3 gms of sugar which is "legal" for a gastric bypass diet
Breast Cancer is No Longer a Death Sentence
This is an article I wrote for Breast Cancer Awareness Month-October. It really is no longer a death sentence to be diagnosed with breast cancer. We just really need to become familiar with our bodies and notice any changes early. Early detection is key for a cure. Advancements in treatment and recognition is constantly improving and the outlook is getting less and less scary. Remember, Breast Cancer, is just a diagnosis, we can beat it!!

Almond trois laits
Muffins are a delicious way to start out a morning. With your favorite cup of coffee, tea or juice a healthy quick breakfast is within reach. The French phrase “trios laits” and the Mexican phrase “tres leches” means three milks. For this almond muffin recipe is prepared with three different milk type products.
Take a little time out over the weekend to prepare tres leches almond muffins for your family. They will be on a covered platter or cake dish ready for the following morning. Everyone gets a wholesome, healthy and tasty muffin for breakfast so all of you can enjoy a quiet morning at the table together.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of flour
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 ½ cups of sugar
- 1 cup of softened butter (not melted)
- 2 teaspoons of almond extract
- 2/3 cup of whipping cream
- 2/3 cup of milk
- 2/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups of sliced almonds
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400’.
- Grease two muffins trays with either Crisco or spray with Pam. This can be eliminated if you have muffin liners on hand.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth,
- Then add the eggs and almond extract until combined.
- Add baking powder to mixing bowl, include all three milk products and then add the flour a little at a time until well blended.
- Next, toss in 1 ½ cups of sliced almonds and fold them into the almond muffin batter using a rubber spatula.
- Once all the muffin liners are filled 2/3 high in the pan. Take the remaining almond slices and sprinkle the nuts over the top of the batter prior to placing the pans in the oven.
- Bake for 15 – 25 minutes or until muffin tops are lightly golden brown in color.
- Remove muffin trays from oven and place on cooling rack. Allow 10 minutes to pass before removing muffins from pan.
- Transfer almond tres leches muffins from muffin pan to cooling rack. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving. Muffins will still be quite warm. Or, allow to cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!
Suggestions:
- Vanilla extract can be used in place of the almond if you prefer less of a nutty taste.
- If almonds are not your nut of choice then feel free to substitute it with the one preferred. Pecans, hazelnuts and cashews are a few delicious choices.
- Any muffin can have butter spread inside once cut open. These almond tres leches muffins are so packed with flavor one will want to eat them right out the oven without any additional spreads or toppings.
- You can always add 1/4 cup of any chopped fruit that you love into the batter to give these muffins a little extra flavor.
