The Five Orange Pips




While orange pips have nothing to do with this blog, I thought it nice to tell you what Orange pips are. They are nothing more than seeds from oranges. The "Five Orange Pips" referred to in the heading of this blog are from a Sherlock Holmes story named "The Five Orange Pips".

Moving on toward our theme of finding ways to show your loved ones you care, I have the next five ways for you listed below. But before I would like to re-list two. Primarily for my gratification and secondly for your viewing pleasure.

7. Listen to their stories. Honestly this can be really hard for an extrovert like my self. But I am finding it very rewarding to find out more about the depths of who my friends are.

9. Answer their questions. Number 9 for me is cultural. When I say cultural what I'm really saying is growing up if you were asked a question you better have an answer. It seemed that a quick word turned away wrath better than a soft one in those circumstances.

And now for the moment we have all been waiting for...

26. Introduce them to your friends and family.

27. Make time to be with them.

28. Be excited when you see them.

29. Notice when they grow.

30. Remember their birthdays.

All I can say is I'm sorry. Truth is, I'd forget my own birthday if I didn't have to write it on each and every job application I've ever filled out.

ok, end of blog.

Bad Peanuts?


I heard it on the news the other day. Bad peanuts are traveling around the US. I don't know any details. I only know they found there way to me.

I've been haveing car problems for quiet some time now. And yesterday I found out why. It appears someone put peanuts in my engine and now I have peanut butter for oil!

I"m not sure who, or how but when I pulled out the dip stick, there it was in all its glory. Brown peanut colored oil!

On a side note, Ultra is growing very nicely. I have a new distributor to work with. This is great! I didn't even tell them about the business. That was probably my favorite part. Well its my second favorite part. The best part is that it's my cousin who I haven't seen in over 20 years. I think that is really cool.

Today I received these in the mail, 25 brochures, 10 magnet calenders and 100 post cards. The brochures and magnets are for handing out. The post cards I will be sending to people. If you want one, please just let me know. I'm offering a $50 discount with these post cards for signing up with ultra international. While I"m hoping for a good response from these I obviously don't have the money I would need if everyone wanted a discount. Well, lets see how it goes, I mean to honor my offer to the people I send these to and will by all means make it happen.

got a nibble!


The following is a Face book message I got in my inbox today while I was attampting to sign up for voice lessions. Something about $455 just seems a little much to have someone tell me I"m singing wrong.

Today at 1:27pm
Hi Dan! I hung up flyers at Mim's and the IGA for Ultra. Got one call today -- an 18 year old named Zack. I sent him my website link, told him one of the top earners in this area is only 18, and it'd be a great opportunity for him too. He's interested in an info meeting in Northfield too.
Today at 3:53pm
Well, lets get him signed up as quick as we can. find out when he is free and i'll talk to alex and sam johnson and maybe we can all meet up with him. :)

great job, flyers huh


As you can figure the response is mine.
