DUNGEON MASTER
DUNGEON MASTER since about 1985 or so... I got bored... also it is useful for creating stories and plots and scenarios. Great writing tool...
and it may be hereditary as my third great grandmother was a fortune telling witch. Wish i could have met her... Developing the dungeons and controlling the monsters is kind of like writing a book and the ending can be a complete surprise...
and you learn to leave the decisions to the roll of the dice...
1d20.... bye.

RACHEL MAY MEMORIAL FUND
Yesterday we lost our daughter in the ER. She was young and unemployed and uninsured and now we have to deal with her medical bills and funeral costs. Having been laid off numerous times over the years and working a part time job with no benefits or savings I have no funds to cover the costs of this tragedy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to donate please go to

set up your blog to automatically share if you can #marketing
one good thing about blogger is it automatically shares posts on google plus which is good because i dont always have time to share with all the networks personally. with google plus watching my back i know that my posts will at least get shared and seen once. and as a writer every view is a good view.
pick a logo or image and stick with it.
just like any business, a blog needs a logo for familiarity. your blog is a business even if it does not make any money it should be marketed like one. a familiar image on the blog helps readers associate it with your blog or site and familiarity brings fondness.
any time you see the playboy bunny you immediately think of hot naked coeds... or maybe that is just me...
regardless pick an image to represent your site and keep it on it... #marketingtips

adios chitika. no future with you. #marketing
- money made with CHITIKA zip.
- reason i fired chitika. number 1
- chitika apparently wont work with free sites and since it does not pay me anything i certainly cannot afford to waste my time and ad space on it. good news for other advertisers who do pay tho because more ad space available.
- you know if i had made even a little money with them i would have kept them around... oh well.
- i know they got hits from my ads as long as they were up but they did not share so they are not up any more.
- bye felicia
add a blog list to your weblog to keep readers coming back for more. #marketing
speaking of blogs, dont forget to add a blog list to your layout so you and your readers can get instant updates for favorite blogs and related blogs in your niche. this will allow you and them to stay in the loop and keep an eye on the market at a glance. also, it gives your readers something new to check out when they have read your latest rant. and that makes your blog even more valuable to them as a source of information so... returning reader. yay. #returntoreadmore #samebattimesamebatchannel
marketing on social media
social marketer. that's my new title here in the old home office. as a web publisher it is very important to reach new readers and keep in touch with current followers and social networking is a key tool for social marketing.
say for example i write a new post on network marketing. if no one knows it exists in the forest of things to read when i drop it does it make a sound?
after posting my new article i can follow it up by tweeting it or facebooking it out to my followers and add some hashtags to attract new readers who might be interested in reading it. i can also re blog it on thursday to another blog for throwback thursday and reach more readers.
social network marketing is easy and free and not half as complicated as those feed readers that take so long to set up and give you a major headache or body ache trying to figure out.
almost anyone can use social nets to market their wares too. whether it be a blogger or an artist or a designer who just made a new tee shirt on zazzle. or a crafter who just posted a new item on etsy or a seller on ebay who just sat up a new auction and wants to find buyers. and the best thing about social network marketing of news and products is its basically free to use and that is a pretty good reason to start your marketing plan with it. call it plan A and after you get the word out there, there's always those expensive alternatives for plan B...
now i guess that about covers the topic time to publish and tweet it and move on to the next project on my to do list. and it did not cost a dime.
ps dont forget the keywords...

I have an IQ of 137
according to this test i took...
IQ Test for Free
while another site (www.123test.com) said and i quote...
"Your IQ score lies within a range of 121 up to 137."
also it said other non free tests were needed... but anyway...
so they are both in agreement right?
and while 140 is genius a 137 is not bad... considering i did no studying for the test in advance.
so the following scale is shown on one of the sites i found at www.iqtestforfree.net
Over 140 - Genius or almost genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Average or normal intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency in intelligence
Under 70 - Feeble-mindedness
my pet rock would be under 70 but i love her just the same...

my pet rock would be under 70 but i love her just the same...
it also said...
Normal Distribution of IQ Scores
50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110
70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115
95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130
99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140
70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115
95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130
99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140
so i am in the 99 percent group and i dont feel so lonely....
and it said...
Genius or near-genius IQ is considered to start around 140 to 145. Less than 1/4 of 1 percent fall into this category. Here are some common designations on the IQ scale:
115-124 - Above average
125-134 - Gifted
135-144 - Very gifted
145-164 - Genius
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
125-134 - Gifted
135-144 - Very gifted
145-164 - Genius
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
so i would be very gifted on this scale and yay me... gifts...
so although i never won many awards or anything... at least i got a good score on these tests, and that's an accomplishment...

SW: THE FORCE AWAKENS #Reviews
SPOILERS DUH....
the force awakens or did it? j j abrams has once again earned a paycheck by regurgitating old movies and changing them into clones of great classics... critics of the new star wars trilogy... and there are a lot of them... say that the new pc star wars movie is garbage and they are pretty much right... the plot is stolen the effects are stolen the characters are cloned and recycled... basically the movie was boring with a twist... the hero of the story is cute sure... so there is some degree of sex appeal and sex sells.... but the originality factor in this movie was non existent and i have very little hope for its sequels...
in one scene an entire solar system is destroyed by a giant planet killing oh hell lets just call it a death star... seriously, can no one think of a plot for this series without a death star..... and for some reason the planets seem to be really close to each other but when the new and ridiculously improved death star sucks all the energy from the systems sun and kills the star itself for some reason or another the people on the planets dont freeze to death??? really?
some complained that a young girl on a desert planet who was never trained in the force would not be able to use the force and they are technically right.... some complained that when han died luke did not come to his rescue and he should have... some complain that the movie is just too dam pc and feminist and she should not have been a great fighter before she found luke and they have a point... some complain that r2d2 did not do anything for years until it was convenient to the plot and they were certainly right.... even mark hamill was not impressed with the movie...
but there is much we do not see in this movie... backstory ... and we do not know what will be revealed in the next chapter....
knowing that luke trained a new order of jedi and that kylo his nephew destroyed them is it not possible that his daughter who was of course strong in the force may have been one of his star pupils as well? and if luke left her with family on a desert planet to go into hiding when she was very young thinking she would be safer there than with him would he have avoided contact with her to protect her all while keeping tabs on her in meditation and waiting for the time when the force showed him the time was right? would the galaxys greatest master of the force be able to see his friends in meditation and help them from thousands of light years away and turn on his number one droid when he wanted it on? would not he be able to help rey at any time she needed him? would he not react to a clone of han solo dying if the original was still alive? was his school the order of ren? and who the frak is ren? the force is strong with this girl but then again she is a disney princess.
