    Oh!  I almost forgot to share what happened tonight at the store.  I took my nephew to pick up posterboard from Wal Mart and was looking at the Halloween DVD's while he was getting the board.

    I set my wallet down (no purse with me) and ended up getting distracted and walking away leaving my wallet with ALL of my credit cards, drivers license, health ins card, etc there.

    When I discovered I did not have it a good 20 min had gone by and regardless of retracing my steps I could not find it.  I told him I would have to go to the customer service office to see, by some miracle, if anyone had turned it in.  Just as I approached the desk they were announcing my name to come to the desk and I could see her holding my wallet!!!!

    I was so happy someone had turned it in (and it APPEARS that all my cards etc were in it!) that I started crying.  OMG what a scare.  And, I think it has to do with having this huge medicine head!  sad  Poor concentration! 

    What a miracle though! and a relief.

      You are one lucky girl Denise. how about that, there are still some honest people out in the world. That is so great you got it back. It would of been a horrible if someone just took it and then you have to cancel all those cards, get new licence etc, so I happy you have it back. Also I can tell how you are writing that you are feeling better and that is a wonderful thing, so as you know being a nurse, Keep washing those hands Dear lol If I was my hands anymore than I do now I will have no skin left lol

      just wrote a article in my blog. i haven't written one in some time and I feel I should write more in it.Not making any money , very few views and no click with Adsense. I can't figure it out.

      Got your email Mom, wow, that is amazing.  What a blessing that was indeed.  Like Mark said, it's nice to know that there really are still some honest people in the world today.

      Mark, I was on an awesome ride with triple my views this fall compared to summer.  Last Friday my view dropped by 2/3 with Google's latest Panda update.  It's been quite a bummer but I'm still hopeful that it will increase as time goes on.  Good luck, I know how you feel.

I'm at work now but can't wait to get home and go to the Bay before dark. IWe go there everynight before dinner.

    Hey guys. Long time no see!! I hope everyone is doing well. I have a mid-term exam wednesday, been studying the whole day and decided to take a break. So, logically, in order to relax, I start a new hub! I start the usual routine, to write an introduction and then I press save. I check my intro for typos or anything and I find one!! So I press the edit button of the capsule and...no more text!! My whole paragraph was gone! So I press the discard changes button and the text is still there but I can't correct any mistakes on it. As soon as I press edit the text won't appear but it's still there. Anybody know what's up with this?

    Thanks in advance guys!

You will do just fine smilesmile As far as the text, I have had problems with spell check, big time. and also a few times the Text capsule freezes up and I have to get out of it all together. Try to log out and start over and maybe that will get things back in order for you.

          Well i have a question.. Just wondering how many clicks you get per day or week on adsense and how many impressions if you don't mind me asking. I have got squat Ray. Maybe on 100-140 impression and NO clicks. Very depressing. i have both HP and my blog on Adsense and just looking at stats, earnings Etc and bumbed out now

          1. Cagsil profile image71
            Cagsilposted 13 years agoin reply to this

            Well, I'm not sure. I recently turned HP Ads Program back on and my Adsense dropped to the floor again. It might also have something to do with my tweaking of hubs, which I don't doubt.

            However, so far this month I have had 72 clicks, which is unusually low on 9,168 page views.

              Well I say that is great, but anything is great compared to mine ;lol: I shouldn't laugh because I work hard , (as we all do) writing our hearts out and try to help others and a few buck here and there would be nice.

              BTW when you said Tweaks are you referring to sharing each hub with twitter, because I also do that figuring I would get more traffic, but I don't think it works according to my stats here on HP. thanks for the info Ray and I will continue to try to tune up my blog like I have been doing for two nights now.

              I have since messing around with it and adsense (adchoices) now, getting more veiws on the blog

                Hey Mark, I did what you asked and checked out your blog. However, it appears as if your blog is barely a blog? I mean it has a couple of links on the side and has one or two posts tops. Unless I am missing something? I guess adding more posts and the steps you took to achieve your goal would be helpful, but the one post I noticed isn't enough to help people going forward.

                I know a little about overcoming an alcohol addiction and went cold turkey myself in 1987, just because I couldn't remember most of that year and lost every friend that I did have. I was addicted to Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and drank it by the liter every day, until the end of the year when I finally said to myself enough is enough. And, I haven't touched it since. Then again, I am not claiming to be like other people. My will power is different than many people I have met in my lifetime.

                You have designed your blog nicely, but do more for your reader. Get more valued links from other resources, so it helps you on ranking, so you get more valued traffic. I do find twitter works nicely, but then again, my topics are different than yours. Maybe you should take a different approach with "advertising" your links on twitter? I'm not sure though. It's just a suggestion. Many of my hubs are part of a large niche, but deal directly specific topic within that niche.

                I wish I could be more helpful. hmm

                  Thanks Ray, I appreciate you feedback. Get more links from other resources like links to Rehab Centers etc and  add them in? Is that what you mean? I am willing to do anything to help my blog along. I haven't written in it for sometime up to 2 days ago. I have written all my thoughts here on HP

                  Thanks my friend, i am hitting the sack but will get on that in the morning while I am at work lol Have a great night and rest up I think we have to help Klara move in the am big_smile

                    That will help, but don't just post them as links. Write a little post to go along with them. You have to show your reader that you are truly willing to understand their position and help them further. If you just post links on the page, then the likelihood that the links will be missed is quite a bit.
                    Then I would say that you should concentrate on your blog. I get that you want to point them to your hubs, but create other posts on your blog, say 300 or 400 words or so, leading them to your hubs. Don't get into detail too much, but write the posts so they want more information.
                    I understand that, but a blog should only be a tool that either gives them other resources or leads them elsewhere, like your writing.
                    Good night Mark. smile

      NICE PLATES! Love them!

      It's going to cost around $700 to pay for the actual move. That is in the best case scenario... if we have to give a down payment for using the elevator, and if the moving company needs to get a crane to bring up the furniture it will cost a lot more. hmm THE STRESS!!!

      I'm going to start packing boxes today. We'll see how far I get.

      What's new with you, Mark?

      DENISE!!! How are you feeling, my friend?

      And how are the rest of the winners' club doing today? It was 65° this morning and it's up to 75° now. It's sunny and breeze... just absolutely beautiful!

        I'm doing just fine Klara. Linda went back to our old home area an went looking for a couple of venues for her wedding, (my daughter thatis) I have already married Linda 4 times lol. They went to a place called Touch of Class and said it was very nice, But my question is "HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST?" big_smile.big_smile  No problem, Marky will pay the bill smilesmilesmile

        Get those boxes filled and remember I said watch your back dear smile
