Hi, Margie. I'm sorry to hear about your misfortunes and setbacks. I can relate; I've been there. Not with health, I'm very blessed with good genetics.
As I read your info, I had a thought. You have a degree in marketing; that may be unfortunate and I'm not trying to be a wise guy, here,but stick with me on this.
After 19 years in the office supply business, I assume you have a customer list. That is your asset!!!
Some work at home ideas: mail order office supplies, find a niche inside that general category and market it using Direct Response marketing methods.There has to be a ton of opportunities using the assets you have.
YOU HAVE THE LIST.
Don't reinvent the wheel and quit buying all these work at home opportunities. Next thing you know, you'll be invited to an Amway meeting or something. That's a joke. We have to laugh at something.
Go to this site www.get-dan-kennedy-stuff.com and look around. You can't buy anything there (not completely functional yet) and I'm not trying to sell you anything and any prices are not the selling price. When funtional,the prices will be at a substantial discount. If you see anything there, get back to me at blackstonecap AT yahoo.com.
Dan Kennedy, if you don't know, is the one of the top marketers in the country and has successfully worked with companies in something like 150 different industries.
His stuff is real and not biz-opp.

How To Save Big On This Priceless Knowledge

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
