My Mother-in-law Misadventures PUBLISHED

-


My newest book, My Mother-in-law Misadventures is now available on Smashwords!

With a download from Smashwords, you don't even need a reader like a Kindle or a Nook. You can download a simple PDF or a document file, or any of a bunch of formats that you can read directly on your computer! Smashwords accounts are free, so jump right in and get the book.

Okay, on Smashwords, use the coupon code QC33S to get a free download of the book until June 1, 2013!

 Yeah, Darling thinks I lost my mind. Please leave a review, though. 
It's also available on Amazon. That promotion will have to wait a bit!
Go ahead and grab the book. If you read it and like it, please leave some positive feedback.

Our first book is FREE on Smashwords, too, but you don't need a coupon for that!
Who knew this publishing thing could be so complicated? (Well, a lot of people, I guess, but it certainly is an adventure!)

    I made the book free for a week on Smashwords, Mary. Just use the coupon code in the blog. Also, you don't need Kindle for Smashwords; they have multiple formats. I'll modify the blog post to be more specific.
    You're too sweet!

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

-

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti...

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar...

Grandma

Mom would have been 78 this year. Happy Birthday, Mom. When our cousins laughed and told my youngest brother that Grandma Jen wasn't our Grandma he just smiled and walked away. "She's my Grandma," he said. When they told me, I was irate. I was eight years older than my youngest brother, and I knew it wasn't possible for Grandma to be my cousins' great Aunt. I also hate being confused and I knew Grandma Jen was our Grandma. In a family tree Grandma Jen was our great Aunt, our real grandmother's younger sister. We have very little information on our grandmother. Elva Gertrude Elston was born in Sanilac County, Brown City, Michigan in 1915. She left the farm and her family and moved to the big city of Detroit when she was eighteen. According to relatives she never used the name Elva, but went by the name Peggy. She was very beautiful. My Aunt Ida (Peggy's youngest surviving sister) told me that Peggy came home to the farm for a few weeks duri...
