Chase

Slavery

Last night as I was putting Chase to bed, he asked me about slaves. He wanted to know what slaves were and how a person became a slave. So I started with Egyptian slaves and recounted any slave examples I could all the way up till slaves of the South. He asked if slaves were bad guys or good guys, the same about the slave’s owners, how much they got to eat and such. After emphasizing all the points I wanted to and trying to teach the ethical values I thought he was thinking about, I inquired why he wanted to know:

Me: “Did you talk about slaves today at school, or see some on a show?”
Chase: “No, it’s just I don’t eat much and I help out a lot”

Multi Level Marketing

Thinking about doing a MLM? This article sums up how I felt when researching it.

Wittlich says he worked day and night on his Amway business and never made a profit. “Active” Amway distributors earn an average of just $115 a month, according to Amway’s latest disclosure statement. Just a quarter of 1% (0.26%) make more than $40,000 a year, which Amway attributes to the fact many work part time. Active distributors, which describes about 60% of Amways’s 600,000 North American distributors, get at least one bonus check or make one sale or meeting a year.

“You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone making over $1.50 an hour,” Whitsell says of multilevel marketing. “The primary product is opportunity. The strongest, most powerful motivational force today is false hope.”

We haven’t tried very hard to get Charlotte potty trained, we usually wait till the kid shows interest. Charlotte has not. HOWEVER, she has started lifting her dress and secluding herself, so I think she will soon be wondering how to keep the poop off her. I find it very entertaining, so here is a video of it.

Mobile Phones

We’ve recently, within the last year, switched to both having cell phones. I love our android phones, but I hate cell phone carriers. They are all money loving rip offs. We have 10 months left with our Sprint contract, and while they are the cheapest for what we get, they are also raising prices like everyone else. So I stumbled upon Virgin Mobile who offers two good android phones, and some really great pricing. They run off the Sprint network, b/c Sprint owns them I guess, and I’d like to hear from anyone out there who uses them. Check out their plans…
