Attract Money Now

HUSBAND: (whispers) Attract Money Now. (walking past wife) Put down the book and attract money now.

WIFE: Hey I'm doing pretty good I just attracted a check for $450 to pay the painter.

HUSBAND: I mean attract money from someone other than me.

WIFE: Hey, I'm not picky about the source.

Happiness Study

WIFE: Ah I finally get how Joe Vitale went from homelessness to having fame and so many cars, fine guitars and things he publicly treasures.

HUSBAND: How?

WIFE: I'm reading his book Attract Money Now and Joe talks about there is more currency than just money. He's able get what he wants through barter, trade other than money, such as nice trips and boats. Then he uses his Hypnotic Marketing to boost his credibility, tie it all together and attract more.

HUSBAND: Here, read "How Happiness Happens" Marshall Goldsmith's article in New Week.

WIFE: Hum, Marshall says that when they interviewed 3,000 well educated people on short-term satisfaction, happiness and long term benefit and meaning that there was an incredibly high correlation between people experiencing happiness at work which led to happiness outside of work.

HUSBAND: Exactly. Happiness seems to be with more of who we are than what we do.

WIFE: (Choked up) That's why when I was going through a big transition and made my wish list of the life partner I wanted before I met you I put near the top that I wanted my partner to enjoy his vocation, rarely miss work due to illness and was great at communicating his needs and feelings, (reminiscent of a very different past relationship). If a person is unhappy at work s/he may feel like taking out frustration and punch something-

HUSBAND: Oh, Honey, I don't have those feelings at work... :-)

Young Hot and Sexy Charitible Giving

Wouldn't it be nice if other's treated you as well as pandora. I was playing ambient music while I was working online and suddenly heard music that pulled me out of my work and I couldn't concentrate.

I clicked on the thumbs down button and got a polite message that said, "We're sorry about that. You will never have to hear that song again."

Wow! Thanks I thought. What if more companies were as user friendly and considerate of my personal preference. What if there was a phone app on your land line that you could click during a charity solicitation call. "We're the Young and Sexy Fire Fighers. Make America Bootyful fund. Our Credit may suck but our buns are hot!" You immediately go to their website and see these fire fighters look good in their new uniforms. You click the thumbs up and soon you are getting calls from Young, Hot and Sexy Police Officers, Young Hot and Sexy Nurses.

"Give to the Young Hot and Sexy Programmers fund" my husband says coding across the room as he suductively lifts his pant leg above his ankle.

Can't answer any calls right now. Got to go!

Who gets a thumbs up on your calls wanted list?


For people who also want a phone app to screen solicitations :-)

Elevator Speech

As we were walking towards the elevator at the end of a business networking event I was about to get on the elevator. A guy I coincidentally bumped into on the ride up now made his way across the room to leave became friendly and started telling me what he did. I decided to return the favor and give him my elevator speech.

As we were getting on the elevator, he looked at his watch and reminded me, "You know, this building only has three floors."

"We'll in that cases," I said jokingly, "let's take the stairs and I can let you know about my business at your own pace."

We get to the staircase and he starts to sprint out of sight!

Do you have your 30 second elevator speech ready to go?

Meteor Shower On Facebook

Under the stars my husband alerted me that he was a facebook fan of the Leonid Meteor Shower 2009- said to be Biggest Meteor Shower of the Modern Age. There were:

-216,575 Maybe Attending

-589,948 who had not replied

and

-303,134 Not Attending

This bothered Jason since they were on the same planet, so he thought.
If they were attending where would they be instead?

New Parents

NEW MOTHER: Honey, the baby smells like you?

NEW FATHER: Awe, that's the sweetest...

NEW MOTHER: You change it!
