About a year ago my wife and I made a trip from our home in Minnesota to Austin Texas to visit my Daughter, her husband and our new grandson who at the time was 3 months old.
Both of our vehicles are old and have lots of miles so we decided to rent a car for the trip. The trip to Texas came off without a hitch. The car we rented was good. I am a big guy, so my only complaint was that the cockpit was a little small for me and my knees rubbed the sides.
The day before we left my Wife and Son-in-Law went to the store to pick up a few items for our trip home. About an hour later I got a call from my wife and she told me we had a flat tire. So my daughter gave me a ride to the store they went to to wait with her for the tow truck to come to fix the tire. The truck came and put on the spare and while we were waiting a second tire went flat. And the a third tire went flat. We must have driven through a bunch of nails because all 3 tires had nails in them.
We had to wait for a second tow truck to come and get the car to take it back to the rental company at the Austin Airport. Fortunatly we had purchased the road hazard coverage so the tires were covered by that.
That was just the beginning of our nightmare. The next day, the day we were supposed to leave on our return trip, we contacted the rental company and they said they could not bring us a new car. That we would have to come to them. After a bit of arguing they agreed to send an uber to bring us to the airport. So my wife went and picked up a Toyota Tacoma Pickup.
We loaded it up and said our goodbye’s, hopped in the truck and it would not start. After a couple of tries it finally started, but the engine warning light was on. We again called the rental company and told them what was happening. They told us that we could get a different car but we had to drive to their offic in Dallas, three hours north. When we started out the cruize control would not work either.
But wait it gets worse! We went to the address of the rental company and they were gone! There was a auto service center there and they told us that they had moved to a different office. They gave us the address and we went to the new office. When we got there they told us they didn’t have a car but would have one in a couple of ours. Then they told us we could go to the airport and could pick one up there.
We drove to the airport and waited in line for about a half an hour. They told us we were at the wrong airport and had to go to the other airport. So we drove across the Dallas Fort Worth area to their other airport. We finally got a new car, a Dodge Mini Van, and we were finally on our way back home. The rest of the trip went well.
The day after we got home we went to drop off the vehicle and explained everything that happened. They appologized profusely and told us we would get our full deposit back.
If you think that was the end of our nightmare you would be wrong. A couple of weeks later we got a bill in the mail for several hundred dollars saying that we were responsible for repairs on their Toyota Truck! They claimed that we had broken something under the hood. We never opened the hood! That truck was broken when we got it. After several back and forth arguments and a threat to get our attorney involved they finally dropped thier claim against us.
Needless to say, I will never use that rental service again. I have intentionally not revealed the name of the company because I don’t want to give them any ammunition to come after me again.
On a positive note, we had a great time visiting with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. We were there for five days and enjoyed our visit.

You may have heard of Click Track Profit (CTP) in the past but CTP went through a huge makeover a couple of years ago. They have also shifted their focus to list building and crypto currency.
It has been around since 2011, but in 2019 CTP received a complete makeover and it is awesome. Or as the co-owner Jon Olson likes to say “Awesome Sauce”.
If you are a member and have not logged in for a while, you owe it to yourself to take another look! If your not a member of CTP I strongly recommend this program to everyone looking to make money online.
The training here is great, but they say it way better than I can. Here is an excerpt from one of their email swipes.
“Introducing Click Track Profit the ultimate step by step training platform that has YOU in mind!
The training at CTP will take you from the beginner stages all the way through to expert level training, without complicating the process.

I have gone through their new training videos and I love them.

I want to share with you some tips and tricks that I use to market effectively with safelists and viral mailers.
A lot of people think that safelist advertising is a waste of time, but I think it is because they don’t know how to use them effectively. I use safelists all the time and get good results with them.
The most important thing to remember is what kind of safelist to use. The best safelists are credit based lists. With this type of list you click on a link in the email to collect points so you can send out your email to the safelist. If the safelist allows you to use html code, use it. You only have seconds to catch their attention.
Make your email subject line stand out from the crowd. Add symbols before and after your title.
This brings me to my next point. Offer them what they are looking for MORE FREE ADVERTISING. Don’t waste your time trying to sell them a product.
I would also keep your ad copy extremely brief. Remember the main reason the reader opens your email is to get the points so they can send you an email. Just dangle a carrot in front of their nose and lead them to your website.
If the person reading your email has their interest peaked they are more likely to look at what you have to offer. DO NOT OFFER TO MUCH INFORMATION. Keep them wondering “Hmmm, what is this?”.
Another extremely important thing to remember is the link that you use in your safelist email. Link to a splash page or a squeeze page. DO NOT send them to your full website!! They probably won’t read it. They are only collecting points. If the splash or squeeze page is of interest to them they may move to your website. The best advise I can give you is to move the prospect from the safelist to your own personal list.
Safelist marketing will work if you remember what it is all about. Think about your own behavior when you are clicking for credits.
I would also like to say a few words about the email server you use for your safelist mails. DO NOT USE YOUR PRIMARY EMAIL ACCOUNT!!! Your inbox will be inundated with emails from the list.
I use Gmail, which is also what most of the safelists recommend as well. I have 2 gmail accounts set up specifically for safelists. One for the list emails and another one for the admin emails.
I like Gmail because I can set up filters and folders for each safelist I belong too.
I hope this article was helpful in furthering your safelist advertising.
I wanted to write about how I write an article or a blog post.
First of all, I have to admit that I used to be a cut and paste kind of blog poster. I would look for information on programs or topics that I was promoting or interested in. Then I would cut and paste a blog post together with a few of my own words mixed in.
That was before I learned about the power of using your own words and perspective. Jon and Blain of Click Track Profit have taught me the power and value of using MY perspective. How I go about writing articles and blog posts now, is to write about my own experience with the concept or program that I want to spotlight.
I find that, for me, the best way to do that is to open up a notepad and just start typing. The ideas and the words just come to me as I write. This article is a great example of that. I had a general idea of what I wanted to say, but I had no idea of what I was going to write.
When I first started blogging it was awkward and clumsy, with lost of rewriting and editing. But, the more I do it the easier and more enjoyable it becomes.
So here is what I suggest you do. Pick a subject you are interested in. Open up a notepad. Start typing. Once you have your ideas typed in front of you edit to your taste and style.
If you need a place to publish your posts, you could start a WordPress Blog or I would suggest you join The Hive Blockchain and CTPTalk.
The best part of being a member of The Hive Blockchain and CTPTalk is that everything is free. No upgrades, fees, bait and switch tactics. Plus it is a wonderful community of like minded people and YOU GET PAID to publish content!

I have been dealing with diabetes for many years and I wanted to share a little bit about how I deal with this disease.
First let me tell you a little bit about the disease itself. I want to say that the opinions here are my own based on what I have learned about this disease over the years.
I suffer from what is referred to as Type 2 Diabetes. What that means is that my body does not produce enough insulin.
As I understand it, Type 2 diabetes is a three fold disease.
Your pancreas does not produce enough insulin to offset the amount of carbohydrates that are consumed. All carbs are the issue for diabetics not just sugar. Although sugar is considered empty carbs with little to no nutritional value.
Your body develops a condition called insulin resistance. What that means is that your body does not know how to use the insulin that it does produce.
Your liver produces glucose to give you the energy you need to go about your life. With diabetics this production can be out of control.
Many Type 2 Diabetics can control their disease with a carefully planned diet. I did this for many years until my blood glucose was no longer responding to the restricted diet. When that happened I needed to take medications.
For many more years I took a medication called Metformin and I still do. When that was no longer enough I was forced to begin insulin therapy. I was taking 2 different kins of insulin. The first one was a long acting insulin which I injected once a day. I also took a fast acting insulin before each meal. In addition to that I was injecting an insulin resistance drug before meals.
I did this for a few years until my doctor prescribed an insulin pump about 15 years ago. I am currently on my third pump, a Mini Med 770G pump from Medtronic. It attaches to my body through an infusion set. There is another devise that attaches to my body that reads my blood glucose and feeds it directly to my pump.
Image from Medtronic Website
This has made a very big difference in my diabetes control. The measure used to determine the effectiveness of your therapy is a test called A1C. The range of this test to avoid damage to your body from diabetes is under 7.0. Before my pump my A1C was in the 9 and up range. Since I began using the pump my level has dropped to between 6.5 and 6.9.
If you have diabetes and are struggling to keep it under control, I would recommend talking to your doctor of diabetic educator about getting an insulin pump.
I have been a diabetic for many years and have successfully managed it with the help of my doctor and diabetic educator. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to help.
