It is soooo nice not to require a heart-attack to accompany every purchase made!

I sold 2 readings to the same person, so armed with $40 atop my other savings, I went out hoping to find some new shoes. I had gotten some shoes a few months ago, but they fell apart really fast (they seem to have been intended as costume shoes or something,...

Had a dream that I bleached/dyed my hair YELLOW. Not blonde, but neon yellow. The dye was coming off all over my clothes and hands. I also had a very very small dog in this dream that I walked around on a leash (I hate dogs, though I guess if I actually had one that tiny it might not be so bad; it wouldn't be...

Still trying to get rid of the computer virus.

On the plus, I am getting close to the end of the month on my Paypal. Judging by how much I'm allowed to transfer to my back account, I must have made about $400 this month! (Though doubtless some of that was to cover costs of spell ingredients.) Still a little pathetic given I'm 26 years...

McAfee not getting rid of the virus in computer. Have identified it as explorer.exe logon.exe, but can't find way to remove it.

Spent most of the day trying to get some trojan virus out of the computer, doubtless picked up from those lovely sites on the traffic exchange. My dad gave up on the AVG and installed McAfee, which looks like it crushed it out (hopefully!)

On the plus, taliastarot.com seems to show in the first 40 Google results for "email i ching readings" -- now if...

Much as I like the concept of the traffic exchange, it's caused more problems than it's worth. My other computer where I've been doing the surfing from (I'm on my sister's rejected Mac right now) has gotten some kind of virus where it will try to redirect you to advertising pages at random; for example, I did a google search and got a result at...

Looks like timing matters on that traffic exchange. The way it's set up basically means most of the people whose sites you're seeing are online at the same time as you, also looking at sites. And there are times of the day when there's a greater liklihood of finding bored housewives trying to get clicks for their Avon shop, vs. Xang Li's House of 10,000...

I joined a website traffic exchange network -- basically, you send in your website, and people will be sent to look at it. In exchange, you also look at sites. Theoretically, once in a while someone who is actually interested will see your site and hang around to shop or click adsense or tell their friends or whatever it is you want. http://trafficg.com/index.php?member=Godgifu is the...

I'm going to get an ulcer from all this advertising work, Christ. I do think I may raise my rates at least a little for the tarot readings if I have to keep this up. Yahoo Answers wasn't so bad, it was actually a little fun: I could just go on there, find questions I knew answers to, give a helpful answer them, and whether...

You get into the occult business, you get some aggravating people from time to time. This fellow who should have never been let on as to the existance of the English language really irked me though:

I found your website pretty interesting. And i would also wish to pay for much spells and forecast. But under one condition . I want you to beforehand predict...

I may not believe in "retail therapy" or in buying stuff one doesn't necessarily need, but I do know the value of a 40% off any item at Borders coupon. I went and bought an I Ching set with yarrow sticks (saved $16) so I theoretically could offer traditional yarrow I Ching readings on www.taliastarot.com -- definitely it seems that if I were to do...

Still trying to drum up business now that my usual mode of advertisement is gone. So far Google Ads are proving useless - I'd have to raise my rates to keep using them, I think.

People say to let business spread by word of mouth but that's not too easy when most of your clients are embarrassed to admit they ever used your services.
