As the weekend rolls in you see a fairly large drop in traffic. Therefore, I will make a greater effort to cut down the size of the Buzz posts in the weekend. Aiming to about half the size you are used to seeing. Of course I say things and then, you know, life happens and before you know it we are back to the original way of doing things. Actually, I have no idea what I am trying to say other than…I need to relax a little more every weekend.
I should take time off this blog. Because I deserve it. But I just can’t do it. I will keep this baby going until I drop give up or, more likely, life gets in the way (mother falls, I go down playing soccer, or sudden influx of new clients who I turn away at this point because it takes time away from TBBing #facepalm!).
You come here to find the best and save some time to devote to more important things in life. I could do that too but, for some bizarre reason, I find doing this (sometimes thankless) blog important because you are all important to me. Except the haters of course lol.
Please take a few moments and read this: “Happy Holidays” by Mile Nerd.
This blog will always concentrate on the miles & points hobby primarily and I aspire to stick to the mission to bring you the best posts from the blogosphere of the previous day. But in the weekends I may carry over some of those posts for the following Monday. Okay?
I hinted on Twitter as soon as I saw this post by Points, M.D. “TONS of Emirates First Class award availability open for the whole family!” that a Titan will very soon have a post and maybe an HT at the very end of the post. Well, some hours later VFTW comes out with it and the HT goes, shockingly, at the very top. And that is how you change practices. Until it goes back all the way to the bottom again. Lol.
Like I said numerous times, if I had a dollar for every time stuff I link/mention/hint makes it out to other blogs (almost always without an HT), I would be a mega Titan. And that, I must admit, it is something I don’t like and is starting to get to me…Do I do more and smaller frequent posts as soon as I get a nice sized bunch of great stuff to share with you? I could do easily two per day or more. But then I look at the $$ coming in and I say…screw it, not worth it. I can live with the few $$ coming in now, why spend more time on this? Hmm, internal thoughts out loud. Told you this is like therapy…and when you think of it that way it is not that damaging haha.

Up early on Saturday shopping for a first.
Here I thought I was going for two in a row…
Yep, Sam screwed it all up for you. No idea when you have another shot for ‘two-in-a-row”, so sad!

I have to say that I think the blog is NOT “thankless”. I know I have said I appreciate it and have tried (unknown if successfully) to use the Amazon link so that one day you are a TITAN! It’s one of my favoritest blogs, period! I read this every day it is piublished and when it was doubled up recently, I would even read BOTH posts! Even if they were the same! (Can I shout out a fun travel blog that I like?) She’s a great person and has even answered a couple questions for me. Brash and funny!

Favoritest?
I meant, thankless for me 🙂 Sometimes, that is #clarification.
I think you are telling me to go twice a day. No man, I can’t do this, I spend enough time for almost nothing on posting once per day!
I added that blog to my Feedly list. The web design is very slick, wow!
Funny dog pic.
That Antarctica article had some other interesting stories below it. Pantheos.com?
What about chase United biz card and try yo catch a big bonus?
Great post today Buzz !
PS. I bought myself an iPad Air 2 last night, price match at staples on an online bestbuy ad, 64G for $475, best price I’ve seen. Also picked up 4×200 vgc. Told them I prefer to buy at staples because they are good to me.
Guess I’m replacing my iPad 3, maybe I’ll teach my mom to use the old one?
I see a link for the United Business card here:
http://www.milenerd.com/best-credit-cards/
I have Ipad 1 or something. Used it a few times, never understood the appeal for it. I think son has it in college now.
Buzzy that is exactly what I was looking for, I knew there was something like this but don’t know why it was eluding my memory. But can I get a link through this site ? Let’s get some revenue for TBB going. I’m going to come up with a good story first, probably won’t apply right away, for 50/2 that’ll work if they’ll give it to me. That would make #3 new card. Need to start a new business, or . . . how about I say I want to keep the business travel expenses separate ? Hmmm . . . .
No link for the United business card in my site, so sad. Actually I do not believe there are affiliate links for it anywhere and this is why you don’t hear much about it.
Easy to start a sole proprietorship business, it is America after all! You can do consulting, right? 😉
What’s unique about AMEX BGR? Did I miss some MS angle? Mine’s in a drawer.
I saw this offer @ DDF, 75k /2k $450.
What? The $450 is throwing me off above????
There are a lot of “codes” floating around DDF with AmexTargetedOffers from what I hear…
