I realized i didnt have anything posted on the page about the gospel, under this tag, so...

Organizing - the sock life

Lose sox often?

Most people have to deal with this issue, but we don't anymore. I'll tell you our secret, because it's a time safer and life saver. What i mean is, it actually saves time from your life. Years ago i heard a person loses 2 full weeks of their life, during their life, finding and matching sox.

Now, i'm all for anything i can find that saves me time. I'm a military person and also an organized person, so naturally i came up with a solution. Safetypins. Yup. Just keep them safety pinned together when they are clean, dirty, and when they are washed... and you'll never have this issue again. We've only encountered 2 pairs of sox, since we've been doing this, that unpinned themselves. 99% success rate. Well worth it too.

Here's our suggestion:

We walk around in slippers at home, so it's easy for us to take our sox off right when we get home and get into our "home" clothes. take them off, use the pins from the morning, toss them in the dirty basket. Done.

Decoding the Sox:
Husband - gets big brass safetypins - his fingers are larger.
Wife - gets silver safetypins - different color and easy to locate when sorting laundry from the dryer. Helps tell the two apart, especially if you tend to get similar sox.

Kids - use colored safety pins.
If you have a boy and girl - use pink and blue, or similar color.
If you have older kids and younger kids, and the older kids dont have same size foot as mom, they can use gold and silver pins also, and let little ones use colored pins.

Have u seen 180movie?

I saw the 180movie showing how people who are pro abortion, think about whats said and become prolife in minutes. It got people to think.

I'm a little surprised the horrors of hitler and ww2 info isnt taught in public schools today, i have an idea why, but they need to ! It's important to know of the evil of hitler and people who believe as he does so it doesnt happen again. I was surprised how many people interviewed didnt know basic facts such as Hitlers murder of millions of Jews and Christians, but am glad this movie sheds light on it. Like 9/11 America cant forget what happened so they dont let it happen again. Learn on your own young folks. Read books by historians on it. Dont rely on whats said on the web.

I am not really surprised that people today dont even know that "fetus" is defined by the dictionary as "baby", its from the latin. Most American youth arent really getting an education in public schools these days ; because pc and political organizations seem to control what gets taught. If they can keep the kids ignorant or only teach some stuff....they can control them, as Hitler did the youth of Germany and Europe.

I was glad to see the gospel was presented well and got people thinking, not just about morality but our responsibility to God YHWH for our sins.

Not only should every disciple of Jesus Christ see this movie, but they should get the study material and upcoming book too. Share with their church and reach out to the lost with it. Its not just for talking with people at abortion clinics, but with all people. May babies be saved, and souls won to YHWH by this revealing information. Glory to God most high!

Rosetta Stone Questions and Answers.

                                                                          

So, I hear RS is great. I learned they have a new online learning added to the training too.

I hoped they had a discount for veteran military members. When I was stationed in EU in the late 90's we didn't have this to learn the language where we were. I would like to learn some. But they dont have a discount for me.

Now, military people in the army and marines and I think air force can learn free , but I didn't see navy listed.
Not sure if selected people can learn, based on job, or if its open to all active and reservists.

Based on the below information i'll be looking for an authorized dealer who sells for less at a low deal. I saw a $300 savings deal today, so if you wait long enough you might find one. Just make sure its not oem or a resale, that's not legal RS is fighting piracy and ppl violating the user agreement.

Information I couldn't find out in the store, on their web page and online searching
I got by calling and will share with you, to answer your questions too!

1. RS owns the software you buy. You're just a licensed user. It's not like you bought a music cd and want to get rid of it and sell it on ebay to recover some money from the product. You don't own the software even though you're using the physical product by CD-ROM. This means:
A. Don't buy any RS language online if they are not an authorized dealer. Call RS to confirm that store online is selling legal copies esp. If you find a great deal.
B. Don't sell the RS product your using or obtained, because it violates the user agreement and is illegal unless you're an authorized seller.

2. Upgrades:
A. If you have an RS product version 2 or less, you can upgrade to a higher level at a lower cost.
B. Exceptions:
1. you can not upgrade from home edition to personal edition because the personal edition offers online (additional) training.
2. If you have personal version 3 (v3) you can upgrade to new Totale version 4, because they both offer the online access.

3. What is the difference between the home edition and personal edition. I've seen the home edition levels 1-5 packages are less cost than the personal edition.
A. There is no content difference in the cd material.
B. Home edition doesn't offer the additional online training that the personal edition does.

4. Want to get the most bang for your buck? Who doesn't? I wondered if the difference between home edition and business edition was additional business words and writing. Nope. So what's the difference?
A. The difference is in the number of users.
B. Personal edition offers 10 users max. Business edition offers more.

5. I saw some libraries offered Rosetta Stone online, free. Is that true? Well I was excited when I saw a public library was offering a variety of them online free. Until I found out online that RS discontinued allowing libraries to do.that in 2006 or 2007. Bummer.

6. What's the difference between Totale v4 and personal edition 3.
A. Totale is the newest version of personal edition.

B. This is why you can upgrade in this product type. I do not know the cost difference. Call RS for that.

C. The online access difference is: the new Totale version offers live interaction, live chat with native speaker, games, and mobile access through iPad and iPhone ....but not Droid; which bums me out...and millions of Droid users. Hopefully they'll make one. I suggest if you have Droid and want Droid access, I'd email, tweet to them and comment on FB. Let me know when they plan to have Droid access and i'll update this blog post.
Until they add more (platforms) for access, It's not available on other tablet computers like iPads, from what the RS reps said to me. Maybe you could plead for that too.

D. I do not know if the personal version offers a limited or unlimited access to online learning.

E. I do know Totale version offers 3 month trial access to online stuff, after that its $10.00 a month. I guess they expect you'll learn the language in 3 months?

7. The cost.
A. I haven't used these yet, so I don't know if the price is worth it. Looking for a good deal first.
B. The cost for lower, single levels ranges from to.
C. The Totale level 1-5 product is currently at $479.00 and can cost around $760.00 Retail, without tax.

8. Currently authorized stores online I know of for selling RS language training are:
1. Rosettastone.com
2. Christianbook.com
I'll add more as I find them and verify them.

9. Discounts: I only know of these.
A. Active Military, through their command education center.

B. Christianbook.com has a promotion for home edition (the one without online access and not upgrade) for a $300 savings on many languages and level packages now. Probably in time for home/school season.

C. Might get free shipping. Check into that. sometimes the price it's offered at rosetta stone with free shipping is still more expensive than it would cost purchasing through an authorized dealer .

D. Well this is not really a discount it is something useful to know :
1. Rosetta: sometimes has a promotion where you can make 5 payments for the product instead of paying the whole cost up front . I have a feeling they.always have a payment plan option, but not sure if its only for those with credit cards, not debit bank cards even though you can use that card as credit in most stores. it does sound like if you order by phone you can save 25 dollars off your order directly through rosetta stone. so that plus free shipping if they offer it at the time you order may end up saving you money if you cannot find a better deal .
2. Other stores: I don't know if they do a pmt plan. If any I mention or vet do, I'll post it here. With credit card and atm debit visa details.

10. Avoid scams online and products without activation codes. http://www.finders-keepers.net/index.php?id=rosetta&sub=guide


I hope this review and information has been helpful to you as it has been to me . Who knows, Maybe since I did this review and posted it all over the web at specific places, RS might give me a great deal on multiple languages over the next 5-10 years, . I want to learn a lot of them....why not? Great for traveling and speaking to ppl on vacation!

Please let us know in the comments if it has been helpful! And tell us your experience with learning using personal version 3 and Totale version 4, how long it took , and your mastery of the language. And if this information has been helpful to you!

*Retailers may not add this review or link to their page without compensation.
If you're an authorized seller of RS let us know when you offer deals so our followers (on this topic) can be notified. And let us know of pmt plan details.

2020 Update:

Rosetta stone app was on sale on Black Friday for $200 for lifetime access on their app. I snagged it. I hope you do too.

Craigslist Is Safe Again !

The Craigslist Adult Section has been removed.  While claiming censorship and placing a "censored" logo on that section of the site, it's done in the USA according to TechCrunch 


People can feel safe again using the site and it's services. I remember a time whenever I searched for jobs in my profession and they ended up (after much research) being connected with the adult industry and it turned me off from using their services for job searching. I felt every position posted on there were all con's and dangerous for women.  


Now that this sleazy section of the site is gone, I will feel safe to use the site for job searching, selling, buying and everything else that the site was good for. 

Send Our Troops a Christmas Card

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL

If you go to this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!

It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you.

Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say thank you enough. Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

This message was sent to me by someone who also served (US Army) our country for many years, honorably!!! And my husband and I are also recent American Military Veterans. I know this will mean a lot to those who receive them.

Note: You can send a personalized comment to them instead of picking one that is already written. Simply select "other". This is great for encouraging them and leaving a message about Jesus.

Here's the one we sent:

"I appreciate what you all are doing for our freedom. As a veteran I know what you are going through. All the troops are in our hearts and prayers each day. Always remember what you're doing will always be appreciated and never forgotten. I wish you all the best and pray for your safe and speedy return home to your family and friends. May Jesus guide your path. www.NeedGod.com ><>"
