Working With Mentally Retarded Adults

My job is not very stressful. My supervisor barked some orders at me yesterday, but I approached her later and explained the situation and she softened. Mostly I laugh at what the mentally retarded adults tell me. For example, a couple weeks ago John asked me where my father was. Confused, I questioned why he wanted to know. "Because I want to marry you." This news caused me to chuckle. After all, just the day before he had told me he hated me. I told him I didn't want to be married and he responded, "That's okay. I have Diana." Well, as long as he has a back up plan, life is good.

extra brainwaves

That is what seizures are. Well, extra electrical activity in your brain. My sister said she was interested in reading a blog about epilepsy. I guess I don't share enough with her. Our medical problems are so different. I don't talk about my seizures because I don't remember them. I'm unconscious. It is like missing pieces in my life. The drugs cause nasty side effects that I try to ignore. Who really wants to hear someone whine about the ringing in their ears or their double vision. Right now I have paranoia more than anything else. Yeah! Fear is all I face with Keppra. I'm sure that will change though. I thought Lamictal was the bomb until I had double vision and vertigo.

Another blog

I want to keep KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) random. I decided that my experiences with trying to make money online will be on another site dedicated to that. It is entitled Can I really Make Money Online? and the blog is internetmarketingexperiences.blogspot.com.
I don't think I really like how many advertisements Google Adsense puts up. I may change the content. For now I'll leave it up. And for the record, I haven't made any money online yet. But it has only been 24 hours.

Online marketing - trying it

I decided that I was tired of reading all these claims that you can make money online just by posting ads. Technology baffles me. I am overwhelmed by it. I will most likely get frustrated and give up, but decided to blog about my adventures trying it. I ordered a free ebook by John Chow dot com about how to make money on the internet. I immediately signed up for Google Adsense. I must have done something wrong because I got an email saying that it doesn't support the language that I use in my blog. So I went to John Chow dot com's website and found another internet marketing site. I chose clickbank and tried to sign up for that. Apparently you can make money by promoting products on your blog. After reading through and forgetting most of the legalese, I picked an online product to sign up for. Somehow I'm suppose to attach the link to my website.

Click Here!

Anyway, after signing up for clickbank, I found where it said monetize on blogger.com. I clicked on it and it added google adsense.

not a response

I know there are women out there that think if they email men on the internet the men will become interested. I'm a little wiser. If they are interested, they will take initiative. Otherwise you are just pushing hard for what you want. I was so excited by a cute profile that I emailed a guy and told him it made me laugh. I don't know why I was disappointed that he didn't respond. He viewed my profile, so on paper I'm not pretty enough or smart enough. Maybe he has better options. I don't know.

BBQ...what heaven smells like

I had my latest crush drive me to the BBQ. I was pretty sure he was never going to ask me out and the only way to remind myself that we weren't meant to be was to spend a few minutes with him. He is hot but boring. I'm over him. I wish the grillmaster last night took more of an interest in me. Although my fantastic burger may be coloring my opinion of him. We shall see.
