performance.  Michael Jackson's 'Billy Jean' at Madison Square Garden here.  Say what you will about him but..can't deny that he was an unbelievable talent. H gave some performance that moved this crowds, black white, Hispanic, oriental alike. he crossed all ethnic lines. He was loved by all. Yes he liked little boys but..in heart he was still one himself as he worked  since he was 5 and never really grew up. Not condoning his actions but who knows what he did or didn't do for sure?

'We are the world' performance here.

As we all know, plane went missing several weeks ago. There are many theories out there as to what happened to it. What we do know is that there is no definite evidence linking debris now being found by rescue teams from many different countries via plane and boat, to the missing plane, although some of the pieces are certainly large enough to be say a wing.  Some think it was hijacked, others think sabatoge, or mechanical failure causing a drop in air pressure making all aboard go to sleep and then plane flew itself til ran out of fuel and crashed. The last scenario is the most likely one.

What do you think happened? Regardless, is very sad and our hearts go out to the survivors, families, friends of the victims.  + update on missing plane: heard pings under water from possibly black box. Sub now helping in search. Trying to pinpoint sounds with hydrophones too. Search field is lessening now to size of S. Carolina. better.)

Also prayers to all effected by mud slide in W.A. Many dead, missing there too.

Also concern for Ukraine, Russia situation. Hope some peace can be reached so we get on better terms with Russia.

spam deleted. Thanks!

This morning while asleep or resting,lying down in my roll out couch/bed, I was visited by my deceased mom. I am not lying. This really happened. I asked how she was and she said good,asked where she was like at a nursing home and she said yes,if she met God and she said 'yes and I met a Queen too!' How weird is that? Queen Elizabeth the 1st maybe? I said I loved her and for her to visit again. She got up to go to the bath room and was gone. It was her voice and everything. What do you think? Was I dreaming? Did her 'spirit' really visit me? Was I just dreaming? They say if met a violent or traumatic death and felt things were left unfinished, that the spirit doesn't rest but haunts where used to live and such. She died a painful,awful death from stomach cancer. We never got to say good bye as she was doped up on morphine and Haldol at the end and though I was there she was out of it screaming. I don't even think she knew I was there,sadly. Maybe this was her way of saying good bye for closure. Who knows? New show starting Sunday called 'Resurrection' about dead people coming back to their loved ones after being dead many years. Lots of commercials on lately promoting this show based on the French play 'they returned'. Do you think I dreamed this because of the show and it played to my emotions and own personal experience? Well..let me know what you think and if anything like this ever happened to you. What happens when we die? Is that it? the end. Or..is there an after life, a next chapter to our stories? I personally think there is. Just as we can't explain God, we don't comprehend why we are here and what happens when we stop breathing on this earth. I think there is much we don't 'get' but all will be revealed when we die to this life.

How often do these spirit dreams happen? How usual is it? Read more here.

Excerpt from Anna Sayce's site...http://www.psychicbutsane.com/mediumship-and-the-afterlife/is-there-life-after-death

Reasons for the dead to come back to us

Why is communicating with the dead so hit and miss? Why can mediums sometimes communicate with the dead and not other times? I have noticed that usually the dead have to have a strong motivation to come back to us AND actually make their presence felt, probably because it takes a great deal of energy and effort to communciate with us.
# 1: To give us peace, reassurance and comfort
Spirits who come back to remind the living of their presence do so often because they see the healing it brings. They remind us that there is not any imposed separation from those you love. The dead can be with us in spirit in a flash, when we think of them. Whether we perceive them is another matter. The Maoris – the native people of New Zealand – say that the spirits of the dead are on the shoulders of the living and we carry them with us wherever we go.
# 2: Because their path is still entwined with yours
Sometimes deceased relatives stay very attached to their living loved ones. This can be for a variety of reasons – sometimes because they want to see their loved ones succeed – like the deceased relative I encountered recently. (She was standing behind my client’s spirit guides and had a ‘cheerleader’ and supporter role.)
In another case, a spirit can stay attached because they feel a responsibility to watch over the actions of the living and warn them of certain things. This has happened before in one my sessions. A deceased spirit warned against doing something the client was considering, that would have had dire consequences. This spirit had been dead for many, many years and you would have thought he would have cut ties with the living, but he was obviously still quite attached to whether or not this person was doing the right thing, and he had vested interests also in the situation.
# 3: To say what went unsaid
If there’s something important that’s left unsaid, spirits can stay around to attempt to resolve it instead of moving on. The dead returning to communicate with us is also a reminder to check if there is anything left unsaid in your life. I have a stiff upper lip that I either inherited or picked up from my background, so the people around me rarely know just how much I respect, admire and love them because I am not good at getting it out. My encounters with the dead have taught me how important it is to say the words that can heal, reconcile or just communicate how much you care, because once you’re gone it’s harder to do. So, I know it’s a massive cliche, but make sure YOU communicate to those you love how much you love and appreciate them.
# 4: To resolve something that went undone
The spirits that are most motivated to hang around are perhaps those who left something unresolved or undone. In particular, I’m thinking of those who experienced some sort of injustice in their lifetime, like a murder which is still unresolved.
The dead can also remind us not to leave things undone for an extended time period. The biggest thing you can leave undone is pursuing your own dreams. Are you happy with how you spend your days now? Or do you live for tomorrow, planning, with your mind continually in the future, putting off life? The lesson that the dead bring to us is to live in the present moment and do what we want now, because as cliched as it sounds, there may not be as many tomorrows as we think.
# 5: When you’re reviving their memory
Sending the dead a lot of energy also brings them to you, in spirit. For example, my mother as a hobby digs up the past and reconstructs our family tree. She has uncovered interesting and scandalous stories of our family. In dreams, I have seen the bodies of long-deceased relatives turn in their graves and communicate to me that they are watching what she is doing with the family tree. So, sending our ancestors energy – studying their past and our ancestral roots can also call them to us.

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

The best way to make money besides having a J-O-B ....

Don't SPAM Me!. Delete it.  Thanks!

Many web sites that promote traffic to clients' sites for a fee won't tell you like Linkreferral

is that there is an easier,more direct,cost effective way of doing the same thing that Google and Alexa don't mind. (as fake traffic or rather unnatural is unliked). It's called exchanging links with people who are either in the same field or share a like mindset to you.
You can even do it at a site like the one you find yourself on like EasyHits4u exchange links on our web sites,blogs,shared sites like facebook,google plus and twitter.

without  going against them by emailing back whoever emails you and asking to.

Other traffic catching ways to get traffic,not necessarily buying ones though as not targeted paid leads,sorry but true, are:  writing articles on topics you know something about like well let's see,making money and how to get traffic! Also having a web site that offers people something they want and need. Now it's time to ask yourself what do you have that people would want or rather pay for?! hmm. What unique set of skills do you possess that your competitors don't? let's face it for the most part you don't want people who are here as a customer or rather you won't get us as a client. Why? Because we are in the same boat as YOU! We are looking to make money,promote our own pages or find money on the net by trying some get rich quick scheme,which doesn't work(cause if it did everyone would be doing it. Why people usually keep what do,a 9-5 job,M-F. even if they despise it which most do.
Moving right long...Have you figured out what you do better than most people you know yet? Well..let me help you. I have a friend who has fallen for many schemes online,no other name for what they are. They promise a lot of fast money for little time or effort and don't deliver and he loses his disability check dollars each time sadly. The reality is there is no guaranteed money on the net except in porn. fact. The only definite money Is from your job you have now.

Now maybe you are asking yourself how is this helping me find out what I am good at? It isn't but was just a side bar to what am going to say about that same friend mentioned earlier. what he doesn't realize is that he has the power already to make all the money he will ever need in his lifetime. All he has to do  is do what he loves and it's not work and he will stick with it as it interests him and he is good at it too! Wild huh? Well in his particular case that is food and gardening or rather he likes to cook, I like to eat and eat what he cooks,lol and he enjoys gardening so he grows organic,let's be healthy,and then uses what he grows in green and fruit salads etc. He is even talking of expanding this concept into the public sector by selling firstly to his neighbors and then people he does biz with daily like Cumberland farms where he buys his soda and gas and Holiday where he buys his sandwiches for lunch,etc.!

This business angle will generate money faster than anything else you do. I am not saying sites like Easyhits4u aren't good at all. I am saying that this is the best way to make a good income. Theirs are great at getting untargeted traffic like at Trafficswarm 

of people in same set of circumstances who don't buy as yourself who you don't want or need in your life! Just my humble opinion. It is a fact that you get what you pay for in this life and if you don't buy it and it's free then it really doesn't have much value either.

Commenting in forums and other's blogs generates traffic and sometimes income when people buy after visiting your site,too!

like many people I have had many jobs and careers. The average person will try atleast 3 different careers in their life and move to 5 jobs. I am not average in anything I do so I have had more in 11. Several of them were my own start up businesses as I like many of you am an entrepreneur. That is where the money is today or rather the happiest earned buck. Don't get me wrong, entrepreneurship is not without it's risk and you will have to work harder than anyone else in your company as you are the one who cares the most. You may not even see a salary right off for a bit. Most companies go under the first year. If you do turn a profit and stick to it,you will succeed though in the long run but that is a story for another day.

Rain

Spam deleted.

Rain While we need it, We don't need it every day, But, it's been pouring daily, from where I sit, Watching the drops of water fall and trees sway, With the wind blowing their branches and leaves falling, Instead of for rain, I pray for a sunny day, Listening to birds sing, Feeling the warmth of the sun, Not the coolness of the clouds in the sky, Then I can get something done, Outside, tidying up, I'll try, For now the streets are soaked with rain, buckets of the stuff have filled my flower pots, It has now become a pain, As sun too is needed for fruit,crops,trees and forget me nots, So now instead of a rain dance, I will wish for a sunny sky, As I watch the animals prance, From my window by and by, Yes, it's high time for some sun, I long for it's warmth on my face, and the summer fun, It's vibrant glow on this place, That not is wet and dull, The streets resemble a ghost town, Empty and the sounds are at a lull, No activity can be seen in this now sleepy town, The rain seems to have washed away the people as well, As watered the ground and soil, The air is heavy with a damp smell, Soon, men will toil, Under the hot sun's rays, On roofs,fields,streets, They will seem as if in a daze, While others complain of the heat, And wish that it would rain.
