Thought I would talk about something different tonight and stay away from my book. So I thought I would talk about one of my hobbies, which is collecting "Truck Banks". Most of the banks are 1/25 th. scale or slightly under or over with a few being up around 1/45 scale.
I have two porcelain ones that are much larger, and I have a few "Dime" ones that are only about three to four inches long. I do have plastic, die cast, aluminum, zinc, banks. Most have boxes of one type or another with a couple of boxes not being in the best shape. Those were bought on line and dealers sometimes stretch the truth a little. All told I have two hundred nighty that are banks, ten that are not banks (most given to me by people)and one that the box says it is a bank but the truck is not a bank.
So if you want something to do it is cleaning time, and I have my toothbrush ready and my duster. You can be surprised how quickly they need cleaning. The toothbrush is for cleaning around the fenders and all the little grooves in the trucks. So if you want to help just tell me, I will feed you cookies and coffee all day. (Have fun)
I go into the collecting for the advertising on the trucks. Some I paid to much for and others I stole them from the people for hardly no money. It is a fun hobby except the cleaning, and the anticpation of selling one and trying to get your money back. Well that is enough of this for tonight and will write something again soon. Goodnight all.

Trying some advertising
Well, I am trying some e-mail advertising and hope I sell a few books through them. Business must be slow for them as they kept dropping their price to where I thought it was a fair price. Do not know if it will work but it is worth a gamble.
I need to sell some of the books so I have time when my next book comes out sometime this year. (2010)
Then if the company I have that is tryiong to sell a mauscript for a play or movie stickes out I think I will go with a publisher with that and make it into a book. That is a touchy one as it is a Christian book but is XX rated due to the sexual content. It pertains to when Satan takes over the world and how he takes just one family and breaks them up. It is based on the book of Revelation of the Bible.
I am running out of time as I do have another book that I am writing and I like to write when I have the ideas in my mind and not three, four, days down the road.
So again if you have ideas for advertising or getting newspapers to publish an article on the book, please let me know. Thanks

A question I ask in the book.
Here is a question I asked in my book. I want you to think on this for a minute , before answering. Actually one question leads to another, so do not throw something at me, thanks.
Is your Bible getting dusty?
Where is your Bible? (hopfully not under the TV guide)
When did you read it last?
Have you ever read all the way through the Bible? (if not, how come?)
Did you ever read Revelation before you read the complete Bible?
Well, what where your answers? Do you think you should pick it up and start reading the Bible again?
"HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO FIND GOD AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THEIR WORDS?"
Okay, that is enough for tonight on this subject
Does anyone know how to get a newspaper to print an article about a book.
I have e-maild them and sent a letter about the book along with a picture of the front and back of the book, but to no avail. They just ignore me and I know the publisher E-mailed them also when the book first came out.
This is my biggest problem I have today, so HELP,HELP,HELP.

Hey, I came back. Sorry
I do not remember if I told you, but I do not get any profit from this book. All my profit goes to three Christian charities which are:
Feed the Children
World Vision
Life Today
I chose these for their statement of faith (giving the word of God to children as well as feeding them). Now I have a question for you---Do you help???, God tells you too in the Bible. There are many ways you can help, even in your own backyard, especially now with the unemplyment rate as high as it is. Please consider helping someone, buy food for them or cook a good meal or two, three for someone. There are a lot of seniors out their that are living on just about nothing, and they will not say a word.
Here is an idea for you: anyone can do this; Go to angelfoodministries.com and check out their menu, find a host site near you, order and pick it up and give it to a needy family. You can feed a family of four for a week for thirty dollars.
I have done this and the families are very happy to recieve the food. I do go through my pastor to see who needs the food and then I have the pastor or someone else deliver the food so I remain anominous.
Think on this and I think you will be very happy you are doing something for your fellow man. Well thats it for today.

2010 is here!!! Did you servive??
Well another year has come and gone and we are now in 2010. Another year older and deeper in debt. Oh Well!!
Hope everyone had a good New Year's and enjoyed themselves. I stayed home and went to bed after a movie was over which was just about the stroke of midnight, but was sound asleep when it did get here.
I have my Bible class again tonight and just finished up getting ready for the next book to study which is Psalms. So I have to eat and be at a church meeting at 6 pm and then get to my class which starts at 7 pm. Hurry, hurry, hurry. And my cardiologist keeps telling me to slow down. If I go any slower I will fall asleep standing up.
Getting back to my book I do have some jokes and stories in it which I think are great, they all are listed as author unknown. Will get into that a little later. Must run, so have a good night and God be with you.

Happy New Year to everyone
Well, it is a new year again and I am still spending money on my book and getting very little in return. Maybe someday I will but I am not going to hold my breath. After all these years you would have thought I would be a little sharper then I was. They sure do know how to sell things. I just wonder if anyone has figured out how to sue some of these firms and win, I know I never will sue because they have all my money. Oh well.
But I did go into it with my eyes wide open, but they do just the minimum of work to keep it legal. You want more, you pay more. They never tell you all this and get so much paper work with some firms, it is hard to say what you did sign up for.
Anyway this is getting off my chest. Thanks for reading.
Happy New Year.
