I own Fordesla.com, it is my lifetime buy of lottery tickets.

If Tesla goes down and Ford comes back strong, a merger could work. I actually had a dream one night that this happened! And for the next few days I tried to come up with a name that had a domain available. And I came up with Fordesla. So, if it happens…I am buying all these bloggers to kill their blogs to save the online world.

Did the Colorado guy offer you something or just wanted it for peanuts? It is a really strange market out there.

I believe in Fordesla. I used to tweet to the Ford CEO to get together with Elon…before Elon turned into a weirdo that is.

I am keeping the domain. It is my only chance to score a suite at the Detroit Lions Ford Field. For life 🙂

I did have someone want to buy arizonaguy.com – a guy who had coloradoguy.com and was moving to Arizona. I declined.

I own a handful of other domains that I also have yet to do something with though I always “intend to start.” I am also friends with someone who owns wackynoodle.com and he was always waiting for a buy offer or trademark infringement letter from the brand of pool noodles using that name.

This blog is closing in on its spectacularly long life you guys. A whole calendar goes and the end arrives, 13 more days to go.

Enjoy the post tomorrow. I am tired.

I am still shocked I had less blog traffic after posting daily last week!

The streak from hell without a single cc sale goes on to Day 41.

Is this what it felt like when Drew from Travel is Free vanished? I ‘ve been focusing on more important stuff other than Educating/Entertaining/Inspiring. Trying to knock out some required CPE credits too so I don’t have to worry about them in Thailand.

I have some material, I am being a lot more eclectic, I will try to post on Friday.

Noticing many YTubers are now pushing anything they can get, Rakuten, shitty software….I think the lack of a convincing cc promo is spreading casualties online.

You are definitely one of the 9, probably one of the top two, thank you!

Last week traffic stats are in and…they are actually little down. And I am shocked! So much for posting daily, not happening anytime soon ever again. I was going to post tomorrow a shorter Tuesday type post but with the credit card no sale streak now reaching 40 days I changed my mind. I should be here on Friday.

Gardening my reservations today. My flight to Thailand is a complicated one. Jetblue marketed ticket with 2 long legs on Qatar (have exit rows). And I am trying to figure out where and how to change my JetBlue number to which airline. I can use AA miles and really have no need for JetBlue or Qatar Avios. And I am AA Platinum Pro. I had a horrible phone experience with a JetBlue agent after being on hold for almost half an hour, useless. As is their chat feature.

Thanks! I should definitely consolidate…

Your comment made my day, thank you so much!

If it wasn’t for comments like this, the occassional cc conversion and some cofees this blog would have ended years ago.

I understand the smooth operators do not link to me because of what you say. But when the very few blogs I keep recommending and linking never linking to me and instead linking to these mega smooth multi million dollar businesses….well, that just SUCKS. Miles to Memories managed to mention my blog once in their podcast but they just could never bring themselves to link to me, unbelievable. I unsubscribed and deleted them trom my recommended blog list. So must stale info, I guess they are focusing on YT. Like so many out there these days.

>>>>>>>Your goal of educating/entertaining/inspiring us is working, and has been working all along. But unfortunately it’s not as lucrative as not having a conscience about the info you deliver.

I think you get me. Thank you so much.

12 years almost into this. Day 39 of not even a single cc sale. Never happened before, it is the streak from hell. I will post next week. If you don’t see a post here before Friday, check on Friday. And dedicating my next post to you.

>>>>>>Do you really think REIT’s are a good way to go compared to S&P index funds?

Hell no! But it was “shocking” enough to illustrate that what comes into vogue in investing usually does not stick.

I use the Vanguard REIT Index VNQ. Sparingly. All clients are homeowners with almost every single one owing them outright. So the home equity has grown a lot. And eventually they will access it (or heirs will). So not a big fan of allocating much at all in REITS and certainly not these days. Every other real estate vehicle I have looked sucked. As in liquidity and costs issues. And oh boy there have been mega shit that was tried on a few clients in a very smooth way, think limited partnerships of some kind. One of those ended up in jail #notshocking

You are definitely one of the nine, thank you. When my blog gets discovered I will make you all nine rich! But for some strange reason I am beginning to doubt this will ever happen lol.

Don’t know how to do this techie stuff. Substack newsletter route is possibly an option. But I have to learn a new platform and build an audience. And this marketing/promotion shit that is so required in today’s bleeding Google led algorthms ways…I am just not cut out for. No wonder almost all independent bloggers go in the wayside, I am shocked I am still here! I don’t need the money, it is ego mostly at this point and covering the costs and maybe sparing a few nice dinners every month with the Mrs who tolerates my blogging ways you know.

Good job on the Barclay card, you started to dance, might as well hurt them taking the miles 🙂
