It is hard for the average American to wrap our heads around the difference between Arabs, Islam, Muslims, Osama Bin Laden, terrorists, fanatics, jihad, Afghanistan, and what has happened today, death at the hands of a man whose name rings that same scary foreign bell. It is all tied together in our minds. Islam equals 9/11.
Even though I voted for Obama and defend him on my blog, truthdaily.com, my instant reaction when reading all of this is to think of that old saying, “No good deed goes unpunished.” It feels as if our “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses” has come back to bite America in the ass. It is virtually impossible to believe that this murderer’s religion had nothing to do with what happened today. That seems really naive to think that. First reaction for me was “we are being attacked from the inside again.” I never thought I’d see the day that I had to worry about something like that in America.
And how in the world can US soldiers continue to trust their comrades with any sort of background in or ties to Islam? Whether people realize it yet or not, I think this is a big game changer, and not in a good way. Call me simple minded, or ignorant, but I believe I am reflecting how the majority of Americans are feeling right now. Torn at the very least. And very worried.

As someone who once made a living selling office supplies, such as business cards, stationery, envelopes, etc, I am here to tell you that a professional-looking business card is THE most important supply you will need if you want to be taken seriously as a freelancer. Your business cards represent who you are, what you do, and how to contact you. Sure, we all use email, so you may be thinking that’s contact information enough. And it’s easy to print amateur business cards on your computer, so why do you need professional business cards?
If you compare the minimal cost of thermographed, (raised letters) business cards to the cost of ink and paper and time creating your own on your computer, you will realize that the vast professionalism presented by ordering your business cards is well worth any slight difference in cost.
You have one chance to make a first impression. Do it the right way by ordering your business cards from a professional company. Don’t make the mistake of cutting corners in this area of your business.

One of my colleagues is having a fit over moving her business from her home office to an actual brick-and-mortar location. She is a perfectionist, so just the idea of packing up all of her equipment, computer, desk, file cabinets, etc, is making her almost physically ill. She called me almost in tears yesterday, asking for advice, since I have been through a move similar to hers back when I had my advertising company.
The advice I gave her was to hire a professional, an expert in equipment shipping and computer shipping. I informed my colleague that she should use my experience moving the stuff I had myself, which was a total nightmare, and definitely hire a professional. Even though it will cost her a bit, there are very reasonable vendors out there. One I suggested to her was Navis. They have a great reputation for getting your precious and expensive cargo to its destination without incident.
If you are getting ready to move your business, take this advice above to heart. It will save you so much frustration and worry.

I am feeling spunky this morning, as you can see from the picture to the left. Isn’t that the cutest thing? I guess I’m in the Halloween spirit. I actually carved my very first pumpkin a few days ago. Also, this guy I have been dating is coming over to pass out candy to the tricker treaters with me on Saturday night, and he bought a gross amount of candy for the event. (He also has bought me flowers twice and took me shopping for a new desk chair, and he paid for it, wouldn’t let me! Woot! I think I found a keeper.)
I would appreciate it if, before you check out the jobs I have found for you this morning, you would take a minute to click on the following link that has information on the best options for electronic shipping. Especially right now, before the big Christmas holiday shopping rush, it’s a perfect time to do the research for your electronic shipping needs.
Also, I’d love it if you checked out TruthDaily.Com, the political blog where I have been the author for about a month. I have always stayed on the sidelines when it came to getting involved in politics, but that has certainly changed since I began blogging for Truth Daily. Wow, the political scene is exciting but very dirty business. I try to offer the fairest viewpoint on all the issues, though sometimes it’s hard. Still, it’s fun and challenging.
Now, to the jobs!
One of the best places to find telecommuting jobs and also stay up-to-date on the latest web content writing, while hobknobbing with others who work from home, is at the WAHM forum.
ALL OF THE JOBS LISTED BELOW ARE WORK FROM HOME: It really bugs me when I find a site that list telecommuting jobs and they have a bunch that are NOT telecommuting! Time wasted, and misleading.
