Hi WA-Family!

Okay, don't roll your eyes at me please! ;-) LOL!

Hi awesome friend Wayne
Thanks for confirming that! Phew - I panicked in vain! ;-)
Wishing you an amazing day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

You have some good answers below and if this helps further, I just renewed mine, through the link on my dashboard, very easily

Hi Dave
Yes, this community is awesome! Thank you for chiming in as well! ;-)
Wishing you an amazing day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

No worries Sharlee, I see they just extended it as well, which is great for those who maybe couldn't quite do it the first way.

Have an awesome day yourself

Hello, check all responses to the question below: Thanks for asking!

Hi Israel
Thanks for chiming in.
Wishing you an amazing day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Much welcome, friend! Glad to help

It is automatic. You do not need to do anything. You will be billed the same way as last year.

Thanks Robert!
Phew, I panicked for nothing! ;-) LOL!
May you enjoy a lovely day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

You are welcome Sharlee

It will automatically re-new

Hi Leo
Phew! [wipe forehead] I just panicked and thought I almost missed the Black Friday Deal myself! [roll eyes] Thanks Leo!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Automatic renew! Love that - one less thing to keep up with!

One less item for you to keep up with as well! :-)

I'm all for anything that simplifies my life!

Hi Susan
I fully agree... But then Lawrence (BaldEagle) mentioned the bonuses he got as part of taking the Black Friday Deal and I went into a total tail spin, thinking that I have missed something. [roll eyes] What a relief! LOL!
Wishing you a lovely day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

It should renew automatically Sharlee so you don't have to do anything unless you used a weird payment method (lol).

Hi John
Thank you for the quick response!
Phew! [wipe forehead] I just panicked, but it turns out I missed Kyle's email! Shhhh, don't tell! ;-) LOL!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Hey Sharlee,

Look for Kyle's email titled "Black Friday is BACK! (and better than ever)" and dated for Friday 16 Nov 2018.

6th paragraph down, he states the following:
"You purchased a 1-year membership last year and since your account is still live, you don’t have to do anything and your membership will automagically rebill at the lowest price ever on Nov 25, 2018."
...though, yours may be a different date than the 25th.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Trish
I owe you ice cream! ;-)
I found your answer on Timotheus' question about the email which I missed. Phew, that was a few stressful moments. ;-)
Yes, you helped HEAPS - thank you! ;-)
Wishing you a lovely day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Yeeeah, I love it when I'm able to help with a resolution. Thank YOU Sharlee for letting me know. :-))

Mmmm... ice cream sounds yummy... Baskin Robbins Pralines 'n Cream by chance?

Hi Trish

> Mmmm... ice cream sounds yummy... Baskin Robbins
> Pralines 'n Cream by chance?
[big grin + wink] It's on its way in the form of e-IceCream (just add a bit of imagination, okay?). ;-) LOL!

May you enjoy a lovely day, Trish!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Hi Sharlee!

Long time see :(

You have a link in every/any WA email you receive

And you should have a counter with a link at the top of the page

And here's a link

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/upgrade

Hi Zed

> Long time {no} see :(
[wink] I was just testing to see whether anybody would notice! ;-) LOL!

Thanks for that, Zed! I found the link in my "Account Settings" > "Subscription Settings" > "Membership".

My question was sparked by the fact that I was "sure" that we will all get access to the juicy bonuses and then I suddenly wasn't so sure about that anymore, and thought maybe I should renew, by clicking on Black Friday again.

Just a panic reaction on my end, when I thought that I have almost missed the Black Friday deal (it is already midday Monday in our corner of paradise). ;-) Phew! [wipe forehead]

But of course, I was not the only one, I see others have already asked questions about that and it was answered... [blush] it turns out I have missed Kyle's email! Shhhh, don't tell! ;-) LOL!

So if anybody else is also wondering, Triblu has given the answer here: I should have looked for an email with the Subject: "I hate live video, but (hint, my bonus)"

Was nice to hear from you again, Zed!

Wishing you a lovely day! :-)

Good day WA Family! ;-)

Is there anybody who needs an Amazon sale before you get the dreaded Amazon letter? Can we buy through your Amazon link? And will you please help

More than happy to help out.

I need to order a microphone for my streaming studio. So..... just need to know where to click.

Any of the sites listed at the right side and bottom of my profile should work. Except that one that has nothing on it yet.

Comments would be great as well.

Hi Clint
Awesome, I'll be onto it shortly!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

I love your niche. Great job on the site.

Hi Clint
Thank you - Hubby will be grateful for you comment.
Wishing you an exciting day!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

I hope you'll get the help you need soon. Sorry I cannot help as I have not signed up with Amazon.

Hi Delores

Thank you for stopping by and lending emotional support - that is sometimes just as much needed (especially when dealing with these big companies)! ;-)

Wishing you all of the very best!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

I'd love to help because I need 3 sales in the USA. But I'm based in Australia. Jim

Hi Jim
To be honest, I don't have any idea how all of this works - Hubby is the one who drives the website that has Amazon affiliation.
If we can help you out with a sale (the more the merrier, right?), feel free to let me know on website you would like a sale. ;-)
Wishing you all of the very best, from "across the big pond"! ;-)
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Hi Sharlee. I'd love some help, But how do I help you guys in return. Also, purchasing from the USA would cost a lot in postage for you guys and for me. So I'm a bit lost with all this. My web site is listed on my follow me page under the blogs. Jim

Hi Jim

Yes I know, shipping usually amounts to almost twice as much as the price of the item, right? [naughty grin] I guess that is just the "Tax" we have to pay for living in such a special corner of paradise - what do you think? ;-) LOL!

We are not buying expensive things at this stage, it is not about making commission from each other, it is just to get sales in order to avoid all the shlep and hassle of re-doing all the links and re-applying for the Affiliate Program.

Awesome, I will go grab your link from there. ;-)

Wishing you all of the very best!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

There is another other company that sells millions of products similar to Amazon and is giving Amazon huge competition right now and you don't have to worry about getting booted out.PM me if you are interested.

Please PM me because I have already been booted out.

Tried and True

Elaine

thanks for the info. I would like to know which company that is since amazon has booted me out 2 times already for not making a single sale!

Hi Nandkishore

Well, I guess you have a all of us interested to hear which company that is.

Please PM us and let us know as well. We would love to have an alternative.

Thanks
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Yes I have been booted out 2 times also. I think they like giving people the boot.

Tried and True

Elaine

Would appreciate knowing who that Amazon competitor is too. I hear of so many people having trouble with Amazon. Thanks for your help!
Nancy

Hi Sharlee
I know Judy is desperate to get the 3 sales required to keep her account open.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/jkingsberry

I'm going to help her out as well and I know she will appreciate the gesture from you as well.

Hope you are having a great day.
Robert

Hi Robert

That is so awesomely kind of you! I will quickly visit Judy's website and buy something there. Having to start over when getting the boot from Amazon is such a pain. We'll be happy to help her out!

Thanks for forwarding her link, Robert! This is what makes WA so extra-ordinary - everybody chiming in to help everybody - this is so amazing!

Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

No probs Sharlee and happy to help out when I can.
Take Care.
Robert

Hi Robert

I've send a PM to Judy, asking her what her website address is, since I couldn't find it on her profile.

Then I found it in a comment - https://findmejeans.com - but I've clicked around on a few posts, but can't find an Amazon link!

If you have a way of contacting Judy, please let her know that I am trying to help her out, but that I can't find a link. If she can please PM me a URL link and tell me where on the page I can find her Amazon link (if it is not easy to spot), since I will be glad to help her out!

Thanks for your help, Robert!

Have a lovely day!
Sharlee

Hi Sharlee Choco Icecream

I though you would be in bed now or is it morning over there in NZ.
Click on the Bike Accessories or Best Commuter Bikes in her Menu and there are lots of her Amazon Links.

Thank you for helping out.

Now I'm off out uptown. Busy Monday for me.

Robert

Yes, WAY past our bedtime already - my beauty sleep to the moon... [roll eyes], but I just quickly wanted to help Judy out first!

It will be very much appreciated and she is a very nice lady.
I just followed Cassandra (Cass51) from your neck of the woods.
I believe she speaks Maori as well.
Now I really must get off uptown.
Sleep Well.
Robert

Thanks Robert, found it and bought through her link. Thanks for your help! Hope it helps her as well!

Do you know how Amazon works? If I buy 2 items in one order, does it count as only one sale?

Anyway, I think the limousine which would transport me to Dreamland, has just arrived! ;-) LOL!

No its two separate sales.

Thanks for clarifying that, Robert!
May you enjoy a lovely "day" (24 hr period). ;-)
Sharlee

Yes you make two separate buys so its two separate commissions.
Time for your bed again?
Have a good one whatever time it is.
Robert

Hi Robert
No, it is a brand new day here in our corner of paradise! ;-) I wanted to say "the sun is shining", but uh, noticed that it has disappeared meanwhile. ;-)
All of the very best to you!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Okey Dokey.
Your name should be Choco Cream coz thats the most yummy according to my youngest grandaughter lol
I will be off this machine soon.
Take Care.
Robert

LOL - well, she definitely has a taste for the finer things in life then - she's going to morph into an awesome woman! ;-)

She also takes after her grandad coz she's very brainy even at her young age (8).
Robert

LOL! That we can't argue against! ;-)
I hope you are teaching her from a young age to build an online business too! That will be one of the biggest gifts you can give her in life. And it will be a fun project that the two of you can do together and it will teach her so many different things! (internet related, but also patience, professionalism, how to evaluate things, etc.) [naughty grin with twinkle in eyes] And you will learn a LOT about real girly stuff too! ;-)
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

When her mother comes to visit me she brings the kids and the wee one will sit next to me sometimes when I'm working on my internet stuff and asking questions.
What you doing, why did that happen, how do you do that etc etc etc.
She does take and interest.
Now it really is time to call it a day so I am off for the night.
Robert

Thanks, Sharlee, and Robert-A My website is https://findmejeans.com I am writing this sometime after she helped.
Let's rally together and find someone to help Sharlee's husband about RV products.
There are many rules from Amazon. I love Amazon, but they need to make things more simply understood.
I just got off with a wonderful chat person who told me candidly what I did wrong on my site. Now, I have to go back to change a lot of things. Leave out a tremendous amount of information I had on my site.
I told her okay but that I wanted to make my product page an incentive for people to buy. The information I am to give is scant. For each product, I am going to have a short skit at the very last. I will give you an example. In 10 minutes I have written 10 of them.

Bob. (I will have pictures of the two characters.)
Bob: "Do you know how to get these shoes from Amazon?
Sam: Why you have to click the red thing. But I don't see a red thing."
Bob: "A link is always in blue letters.
Sam: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, I see it. Byyyyyyyyyy.

See you all. Sharlee and Robert, I love ya for caring.

No probs Judy and I would listen too closely to what those people are telling you how your website should look.
Its your site and your articles.
Stick to what you know and are still learning about here at WA and you wont go far wrong.

Have a great weekend.
Robert

please send me the link by pm, I'm promoting WA, but happy to help

Good day WA-family!

I didn't know where to post this question...

We need another Amazon sale on one of our websites, in order to avoid the dreaded Amazon kick

I would be glad to help but right now I am broke so I can't get anything right now so I am sorry I can't help right now. Even though I could use another sale but I can't return the favor at this time.

Mary

A solution would be a one-stop social media hub , a Facebook group where we can drop by and share buying activities from Amazon as Sharlee and others have suggested.

So here we go. Created this FB group just for this purpose. Join up and let us see how this works. I have a few things to buy from Amazon. And... I have not made one sale through Amazon! : )

https://www.facebook.com/groups/542430236195710/

By the way, will this be legit as far as Amazon is concerned?

Thanks everyone!


Joe

Just make sure it is a closed group and no amazon employees join!!
should be ok as there is no link between anyone.

just responded to a member who has had the first email - 90 day warning - so she could do with a hand if you haven't already ordered. thanks for doing this Sharlee.
Phil

Thank you for sharing my post! I am going to join the Facebook group, too and see what happens.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

thats what this community is here for Karin.
Hope you get your sales.
phil

In what base you're helping others. More explanation and why. Thanks.

Hi Sharlee,

Last time I sent the link to my Girlfriend with a product I wanted to buy.
She did the purchase, I sent her money and I got another 6 months with Amazon:)

Hi Michal
Awesome, I'm glad that she could help you out!
I just thought if I can help somebody out here on WA, that way we both win.
May you enjoy a lovely weekend, Michal!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Actually I am curious as well :)
It is good you raised the question

Have nice weekend too, Sharlee :)
Mike

Hi Michal

I take it that you are interested in another Amazon sale as well? Is that what you mean?

If so, please respond, so that others will know you are also interested in doing an exchange purchase for them, and they can then team up with you.

That way we can all help each other, until our wings are strong enough to fly! ;-)

May you enjoy a lovely weekend, Michal!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Hi Sharlee,
Sorry for not being clear :)

I meant - Curious if somebody from WA would share the links in exchange for yours.
Because in the future I might need such help as well.

(Don't worry my GF and me are still together;) )

Hi Michal

Jessica (Swangirl) did something similar the other day and many people responded. I guess we are all in the same boat.

RodneyJr responded almost immediately, but I guess as others see it, there will be more responses, so that others can also team up and get helped.

LOL - lucky you! (Only joking of course!) ;-)

Enjoy your weekend, Michal! ;-)
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Great to know Sharlee :)

Thank you
Cheers ;)
Mike

My idea too:) Activate with friends, I buy they order:)

Hey Sharlee, I got a question for you. Is there a timetable on your offer because I get money (My paycheck) on Wednesday, and could do it then or do you need something before then?

Hi Rodney
No, if we can do it on Wednesday, it will still be fine, as long as we just don't go past that, otherwise that kick gets a bit too close for comfort. ;-) LOL!
So we will be in contact next week via PM then!
Thanks Rodney!

Good day WA-family!

I didn't know where to post this question...

We need another Amazon sale on one of our websites, in order to avoid the dreaded Amazon kick

I would be glad to help but right now I am broke so I can't get anything right now so I am sorry I can't help right now. Even though I could use another sale but I can't return the favor at this time.

Mary

A solution would be a one-stop social media hub , a Facebook group where we can drop by and share buying activities from Amazon as Sharlee and others have suggested.

So here we go. Created this FB group just for this purpose. Join up and let us see how this works. I have a few things to buy from Amazon. And... I have not made one sale through Amazon! : )

https://www.facebook.com/groups/542430236195710/

By the way, will this be legit as far as Amazon is concerned?

Thanks everyone!


Joe

Just make sure it is a closed group and no amazon employees join!!
should be ok as there is no link between anyone.

just responded to a member who has had the first email - 90 day warning - so she could do with a hand if you haven't already ordered. thanks for doing this Sharlee.
Phil

Thank you for sharing my post! I am going to join the Facebook group, too and see what happens.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

thats what this community is here for Karin.
Hope you get your sales.
phil

In what base you're helping others. More explanation and why. Thanks.

Hi Sharlee,

Last time I sent the link to my Girlfriend with a product I wanted to buy.
She did the purchase, I sent her money and I got another 6 months with Amazon:)

Hi Michal
Awesome, I'm glad that she could help you out!
I just thought if I can help somebody out here on WA, that way we both win.
May you enjoy a lovely weekend, Michal!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Actually I am curious as well :)
It is good you raised the question

Have nice weekend too, Sharlee :)
Mike

Hi Michal

I take it that you are interested in another Amazon sale as well? Is that what you mean?

If so, please respond, so that others will know you are also interested in doing an exchange purchase for them, and they can then team up with you.

That way we can all help each other, until our wings are strong enough to fly! ;-)

May you enjoy a lovely weekend, Michal!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Hi Sharlee,
Sorry for not being clear :)

I meant - Curious if somebody from WA would share the links in exchange for yours.
Because in the future I might need such help as well.

(Don't worry my GF and me are still together;) )

Hi WA-family

For those of you who has created training before...

Does the training have to be 4 pages long? I see some of the training is very thinly spread to co

Yes, you can not publish a training with fewer pages. It's up to the members whether they like these thin spread training or not. I choose for a blog, when I don't have enough content for 4 pages, only for blogs you don't get paid, for training you do

Hi Loes

Thank you for helping me out! I actually was wondering about it, since I saw you are doing a lot of "training" type stuff on your blog.

I wonder between a blog and training, which is easiest for others to find? Or will it solely depend on the tags that I have added?
Can more tags be added at a later stage?

Thank you for your help Loes - you are so much appreciated! :-)
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Yes, it depends on the title and tags you have added, sometime I can not find my own stuff back, I forgot how I called it;)

Thank you Loes - much appreciated! :-)

I've noticed that too... Waiting for my betters to weigh in
Tim

Yes, we learn so much by joining in on the questions that others have, don't we? :-)

Video trainings are shorter if that's any help. I didn't think it had to be 4 pages because the creater of the training decides how many pages. Often people use on page per topic after an introduction and then a concluding page

Thank you for stopping by Fleur. :-)

Hi amazing WA-family :-)

I guess we all have some photos, pictures - graphics for short, that we download or pay for - how do you organize yours?

Currently I have

After seeing your post, I decided to figure that out also. I have decided to utilize Google Drive and Evernote.

Hi Angie

Thank you for chiming in and for mentioning Google Drive and Evernote.

How exactly do you mark your images? How do you know that picture1 (for instance) in your blogpost was an image that you bought and that picture2 was a free picture that you downloaded from Pixaby?

Or am I over complicating things? ;-) LOL!

Wishing you a lovely day, Angie!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Is there anybody else who wants to share how they organize their pictures? ;-)

I like Dreamstime for many reasons. I can save and sort my photos into lightboxes and then download what I need. Very easy to find what I want when I need it. I'm going to check out Picassa as Marion suggested. It sounds promising. Organizing media is a pain in the neck.

Hi Wendy

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your use of Dreamstime!

I assume the "lightboxes" are like different "folders" or "buckets" where you sort the different photos into i.e. "Transport", "Nature", "Food", "Music", etc.

Hmmmm... I don't understand this bit... "and then download what I need". So you have photos on your pc... Do your photos stay in their own folders, or does it get imported into Dreamstime, for sorting into whatever categories or lightboxes you want it?

I fully agree about organizing media that is a pain in the neck! And I have a HUGE, I mean humongous huge*, collection of photos and graphics on my pc - but I can hardly ever find what I am looking for in there, because it just take too long to scroll through folders that contain 500 or 800 or 2000 photos!

And if you can also please look at the questions that I have asked Marion regarding Picasa... I will appreciate if you can shed some light on that as well please Wendy!

Thank you for having responded, it reminded me that I need to send you some info for your website! ;-) I'll do that in the morning.

Your help would be highly appreciated!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

*When we go on holiday, I get shutter-happy. Two months' holiday and 5'000 to 7'000 photos is just about normal for me. So I have well over a 100'000 photos and graphics on my HDD. My photos are fairly well organized into folders - but the graphics packages that I buy... that is a totally different story.

I can sort the photos I may want for my websites into categories right on Dreamstime. The categories and photos are in the cloud - so they are easy to access from anywhere.

For photos that I take myself. I just keep everything in an album on my Android - where everything backs up to Google Photos in the cloud - when I need something I just download it to my mac book at home.

I just checked on Picassa and found that Google appears to be phasing it out in favor of Google Photos.

If I decide I need a photo from one of the lightboxes on Dreamstime, I simply download it to whatever device I happen to be working on. This works for me, but I am not dealing with the quantity that you are dealing with.

If I had to keep track of thousands of photos, I would promptly lose my mind.

I wish I could give you more and better advice.

It's usually best to tuck things into albums like you do on the smartphone. But if you have thousands of photos in an album...well...yikes!

If someone can develop a good app to solve the photo organization issue - they will make a small fortune.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your lengthy reply and that while you are recovering from hand surgery! WOW, talk about an amazing community - thank you Wendy - I really appreciate!

Awww, okay, I didn't realize that you save it in the Cloud and then download it from there. It now makes sense.

What you have given has already helped A LOT! Thank you!

Oh yes, I agree with you, they will make a small fortune! That is for sure!

Wishing you a speedy and fully recovery Wendy!

Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Thanks Sharlee! Have a great night, or great day. I don't know what time it is over there in New Zealand. :-)

I use the free Picasa app. It goes through all the images on your computer and sorts them into folders and displays them as thumbnails.
https://picasa.en.uptodown.com/windows

Hi Marion

Thank you for your response! May I ask a few questions regarding this program please?

How does it know how to organize the pictures?
The reason I am asking, is because some of the packages that I have bought have no names on the photos - only like numbers or names like "Upsell package 1", "Upsell package 2", etc. Nothing that makes any sense, from which the program can get a clue. Neither does it have any "Categories" assigned to it.

And how do you know which photo, belongs to which package and falls under which licensing agreement? (Some of my packages are Developers Rights and others are Single User Rights) Or is it only the thumbnail that is placed in Picasa, with the original still left at its place?

Your help would be highly appreciated and valued!

Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Marion you may want to double check on Picassa. Google appears to be phasing it out to focus their attention on Google Photos.

I can't find the link right now. And I'm recovering from hand surgery so typing and clicking is a real challenge.

But when you have time you might want to dig around. Google Photos seems to do everything Picassa did and more.

Let me know what you turn up.

Yes, I just had to install Picasa on a new computer and noticed that Google Photos is trying to take over. Picasa is still working fine. If something is not broken then I don't try to fix it :) LOL

Picasa collects all the images in the computer not just photos. Does Google Photos show other types of image or just photos?

Right now I have it synced to my android. So any screenshots, etc are backed up to Google Photos. It doesn't automatically save screenshots from the desktop of my Mac - I have to manually upload. But I have to check my settings...there might be a way to do it. Picassa sounds easier, but Google seems firm about phasing it out. I wish these companies would stop tinkering with things that work fine.

Oh I fully agree Wendy - it would really serve them well if they stop messing with things that works fine for us! Another things that frustrates me, is when they build in a lot of "eye-candy", that has nothing to do with the functionality of the program and then the program is so bloated and takes so much HDD space, for nothing. But let me stop immediately, because I can feel a full-blown rant coming! ;-) LOL!

Still working on that, freelance flying is what I am trying. I do however try organizing by category or theme of the topic that I am developing. I know, not much help huh.

Hi Xav,

Thank you for stopping by! No, every little bit helps. ;-)

Yes, I also try to "categorize" the new graphics that I download, but the thousands (literally) of graphics that I have paid for is my hassle.

Do you sort the new graphics that you download by category, or do you save them in a file under the website that you are working on? (That is assuming that you have a Project Folder for each of your websites...) ;-)

Example: Your ocean photo is saved under Website1 and your sunset photo is saved under Website2, where you used them, or are they both saved in a category called "Nature"? (If that makes sense)

And does your current system work for you? How easily are you able to locate a specific picture again? (Say you want to use that ocean photo again somewhere else - is it quick and easy to find? Assuming you already have a decent stash of graphics, right?) ;-) LOL!

Your help is valued and appreciated! Thank you!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Usually I do put them in the website that I'm working on but with a shorter name tag that s easy to recall. The easiest way to remember is by short abbreviated accronym and a number works great for my purposes.

Hi Xav,
Thank you for responding and clarifying how you save it and what works best for you! I really appreciate!
Wishing you all the best!
Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

Oh gosh...are we supposed to organize our graphics!!!

OK...so I guess this will be item # 1,001 that I need to add to my "Things To Do" list. Thanks, Sharlee for the extra workload, this is exactly what I was hoping for...

OK...I just needed to get that out of my system. Great question, Sharlee.

> Thanks, Sharlee for the extra workload, this is exactly
> what I was hoping for...
Oh my pleasure Sweetie! ;-) LOL!
Only # 1'001? We will have to find some more stuff to keep you out of mischief Veronica! ;-) LOL! eHug to you! ;-)

I'm always in trouble with Hubby when I complain that my hard disk is running out of space... but when I have to look for a picture it takes AGES... so I wondered what great systems may be in use by other members that I can borrow to sort out my graphics mess. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by Veronica! ;-)

This actually makes a lot of sense. Hopefully, someone with a good system in place will respond, Sharlee.

And I'm giving you an eHug right back! (that's no considered Spam is it...)

When eHugs become spam, we are all doomed. LOL

Hmmmm.... either something spooky happened...
OR
it's because I've got too many tabs open that I lost my carefully written reply to you Veronica. I'm sorry, I thought I have responded early this morning already, but now I see it is not here? Weird. Anyway, let me try to rewrite as best I get muster my tired brain. ;-) (Almost midnight here in our corner of the world!)
-----------
If anybody complain about the e-hugs - we will just assume that they also want a hug, or that they desperately need one, right? ;-) LOL! But somehow I think you are safe on this one! ;-) LOL!

Hmmmm.... I have never thought that our jokes or e-hugs may be considered spam, but now that you mentioned it Veronica.... Have I missed anything that you are aware of? Anything in the rules that I need to look at again? I certainly don't want to get in trouble! ;-)

Psychologists have found that in this day and age of so much "connectivity", that people lack love, friendship and connection more than ever in the history of mankind. Studies have also found that e-hugs holds almost the same physical, psychological and emotional benefits as real hugs. ;-)

Same with e-flowers! ;-) (Sending a person a picture of flowers.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE GUYS: Please pretend you didn't read the line above - your wife needs REAL FLOWERS okay? It is only going to score you any points if you send her e-flowers while you are away on a business trip, but otherwise it is probably going to land you in big trouble! You have been warned, okay? ;-) But to your Mom and your Sister - go ahead, they'll think you are the best! ;-) LOL!

And I am a sucker for hugs in anyway - so a big e-Hug to you dear friend with the amazing sense of humor! ;-) LOL!

Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream) ;-)

Hi Dave, yes, I will definitely be kicking up a stink, because what will be next that is not allowed? e-Ice cream? UNTHINKABLE!!! ;-) LOL! We will have to consume as much e-Ice cream as we can - just in case, you never know eh? ;-) LOL!

I could survive without ice cream because I love avocados as much as ice cream and it is healthy I've been told. :-)

As a male, I think an e-flower would be better for a lady to receive than to receive nothing. Because I was hoping that it was the thought that counts. But I agree the real deal would be received better. LOL

Hi Dave, Yes, we love avocado's too, but the quality of avo's in NZ is a bit dodgy - very stringy. If we can get it directly from somebody who has a tree - totally different story. But... [light-bulb] I'll give you my avo, and you give me your ice cream, how's that? ;-) LOL!

Sounds cool. Have a great day. :-)

Girl, if I wasn't on the bus right now, I would be on the floor laughing out loud!!!

I was totally joking about the spam, that was just my sly New York humor attempting to make an appearance!

Oh gosh... this has to be the funniest comment I ever received!!! Man, if this bus had carpet, I'd find a corner, plop down and LOL for real!!!

You're too cute, Sharlee!

LOL! Okay, we've got a deal then! See you and your wife in Vegas! ;-) LOL!

[hands on hips] Veronica! You naughty one! ;-) LOL!

You caught me! :-) I was sincerely worried that I missed something (as it happens easily when English is one's 2nd language), so I stressed that I can get into trouble! Geez! LOL! I should have known you better eh? ;-) LOL!

Wait I'll get you back... Vegas is coming and we've got a deal right? ;-) LOL!

e-Hugs to you, you naughty woman! ;-) LOL!

May you enjoy a lovely day and wishing you much success Veronica! :-)

Sharlee (Chocolate IceCream)

I bet they take the avocado from me at Australian Customs. LOL

Yes indeed, Sharlee...ice cream, cake and REAl hugs in Vegas!!!

LOL! Yes I bet they will! :-) Same with NZ as well, VERY strict, but I understand why. Oh well, we will go and search Vegas to see whether they've got some avo's for you! ;-) LOL!

Great question Sharlee, I am also waiting for responses from other members.

Great, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one! ;-)

I’ve got to wait for responses like you Sharlee!

Wayne

Great, I'm glad to hear that others have a similar problem Wayne... Hopefully somebody will share what works for them!

And I am a sucker for hugs in anyway - so a big e-Hug to you dear friend with the amazing sense of humor! ;-) LOL!

Hi Dave, yes, I will definitely be kicking up a stink, because what will be next that is not allowed? e-Ice cream? UNTHINKABLE!!! ;-) LOL! We will have to consume as much e-Ice cream as we can - just in case, you never know eh? ;-) LOL!

I could survive without ice cream because I love avocados as much as ice cream and it is healthy I've been told. :-)

As a male, I think an e-flower would be better for a lady to receive than to receive nothing. Because I was hoping that it was the thought that counts. But I agree the real deal would be received better. LOL

Hi Dave, Yes, we love avocado's too, but the quality of avo's in NZ is a bit dodgy - very stringy. If we can get it directly from somebody who has a tree - totally different story. But... [light-bulb] I'll give you my avo, and you give me your ice cream, how's that? ;-) LOL!

Sounds cool. Have a great day. :-)

Girl, if I wasn't on the bus right now, I would be on the floor laughing out loud!!!

I was totally joking about the spam, that was just my sly New York humor attempting to make an appearance!

Oh gosh... this has to be the funniest comment I ever received!!! Man, if this bus had carpet, I'd find a corner, plop down and LOL for real!!!

You're too cute, Sharlee!

LOL! Okay, we've got a deal then! See you and your wife in Vegas! ;-) LOL!

[hands on hips] Veronica! You naughty one! ;-) LOL!

You caught me! :-) I was sincerely worried that I missed something (as it happens easily when English is one's 2nd language), so I stressed that I can get into trouble! Geez! LOL! I should have known you better eh? ;-) LOL!

Wait I'll get you back... Vegas is coming and we've got a deal right? ;-) LOL!

e-Hugs to you, you naughty woman! ;-) LOL!

May you enjoy a lovely day and wishing you much success Veronica! :-)

I bet they take the avocado from me at Australian Customs. LOL

Yes indeed, Sharlee...ice cream, cake and REAl hugs in Vegas!!!

LOL! Yes I bet they will! :-) Same with NZ as well, VERY strict, but I understand why. Oh well, we will go and search Vegas to see whether they've got some avo's for you! ;-) LOL!

Great question Sharlee, I am also waiting for responses from other members.

Great, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one! ;-)

I’ve got to wait for responses like you Sharlee!

Wayne

Great, I'm glad to hear that others have a similar problem Wayne... Hopefully somebody will share what works for them!
