Important Pending Legislation: the Orphan Works Act of 2008

Here is a bit of history to explain more for those not familiar with the bill. I waited to see if it was going to pass and it has. Read up on the bill if you like, but basically if it passes completely and someone can't find you fairly quickly, they can claim anything you do as an orphan work and use it however they want. Caps on damages are as low as $500 bucks. Right now..anything you do is copyrighted the moment you save it in tangible form. Under this bill...nope. You may no longer have a R… Continue

A History Lesson on Social Security

Many unknown or little remembered factoids: Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts!!! Franklin Roosevelt introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary, 2.)… Continue

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tricks

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness... For lovely eyes , seek out the good in people. For a slim figure , share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair , let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise , walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone... Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of… Continue

Voter's Self Defense System

This non-profit non-partisan group is one of the best tools voters can find in today's world of politics. I've supported them for years and wanted to pass along their story........................................... In 1992 a small group of citizens - students, teachers, lawyers, journalists, politicians among them - designed and started testing the idea of a "Voter's Self-Defense System." It was an idea whose time had come. By 2008, thousands of people had joined with that small group, and th… Continue

Could you add me to the email list or forward it to me when you receive the notice. I would love to come again. I always seem to miss it and hear about it after it is over. How do you like this website? Has it been helpful to your business?

At 7:26pm on March 30th, 2008, Debbie Ferrari said…: Melinda, Thanks for the invite! You are just everywhere, aren't you! I've been busy lately with helping people reduce the time they are going to have to pay on their home. A great program, and they don't have to refinance, and it doesn't matter what kind of loan they have! It's really helping all of my clients that think they are losing equity in their home and they need to sell, and current clients will be using it and take the sting out of the prices, even though they are coming down, this makes it even better! Talk to you soon.
