  • Want To Help A Fellow Blogger?

    Becky McCray asked for help so I decided to pass this along. This blogger has the added challenge of cerebral palsy and wants to use the winnings to make her blogging go a bit easier.
    Hi everyone,
    I would like to thank you all for being such enthusiastic supporters over the past year, particularly with the […]

  • Home Day Care Business Ordered To Close

    Most states allow a person to provide day care to a limited number of children before requiring licensing, etc. According to their neighbors these folks crossed the line in their home business!
    In this case the neighborhood association thought their property covenants superseded state and local law in the matter.  The homeowner didn’t agree in the […]

  • Mompreneurs: Tell You Story! Free Marketing!

    The easiest way to get published is to not have to do the writing yourself.
    Here’s an opportunity I spotted that I want to pass along to you:
    Personal stories needed for my book, Money, Moms, and Miracles, written for MOTHERS WHO CHOOSE TO STAY HOME WITH THEIR CHILDREN and need to find ways to augment the […]

  • Rural America’s Population Is Growing

    According to US Government Statistics, US Rural population is growing. That’s attributed in large part to the net increase of movement out of the metro areas to “flyover” country.
    Where were people most likely to move?
    Nonmetro population gains from net domestic migration were highest in western locations that combine scenic attributes with tourism, recreation, second-home […]

  • Finding Ways To Invest For The Future

    If you’re looking for a way to “find” money to invest for the future, the folks at Motley Fool suggest, among other things, telecommuting to help you put your hands on some cash to invest.
    They’re reasoning is that if you could save just $4 per day this way then…
    If you invest $4 times five […]

  • Would A Gold Standard Save The Dollar?

    FDR, I believe (I usually know but I’ve got the flu today so I’ll qualify myself!), was the prez who confiscated gold and silver coins making them illegal to use. Why? People would have demanded them in exchange for debts instead of the watered down greenbacks he was planning to print to “expand the economy”.
    Funny […]

  • Plasma Melter Produces Alternative Energy

    It sounds like a “Disintegrator Ray” from a 1940’s cartoon strip, but it’s real… it’s the “Plasma Melter” .
    It can turn a used tennis shoe into a little ball of glass like substance suitable for road paving and create an alternative fuel gas as a carbon energy source.
    If commercially viable, it could solve many landfill […]

  • South African Bemoan “Illegal” Home Businesses

    This was submitted allegedly by an anonymous “Guest House Owner”. Presumably they have to pay fees and be registered. Now they’re mad because of all the “illegal” home businesses cropping up in their neighborhood.
    I understand their concern in some ways. They shouldn’t have to pay when others don’t - at least, that is, if […]

  • 9 Out Of 10 UK Internet Users Have Broadband

    A new study from the UK shows that nearly 9 out of 10 UK internet users have broadband access.
    This number has doubled since 2003.
    As the article notes, this makes starting freelance home businesses much easier than before and so England is seeing these pop up everywhere.
    As a result the old way of doing things […]

  • Government On Telecommuting … Let’s Try This Again

    There are a variety of articles on the web about the feds pushing telecommuting again.
    This time they’re stressing the homeland security issues and the need to have a decentralized work force in the event of access problems due to storms, floods, fires, terror alerts, etc.
    Same story, different day.
