It's been a minute...

...just got over a sinus thing, though my head is still woozy...to be quite honest, I'm only going in to the office because it's the week before Christmas...don't want people to think I'm malingering for extra time off and all...

...so, I've been seeing a lot of get rich quick, home business type e-mails, posts, etc. Facebook, Twitter, MLMs...hard to tell which ones are real, and which aren't, which are scams, which are the real deal...if any.

One of my Facebook friends even got hacked and someone sent wall posts on his behalf to all of his friends...my advice to anyone would be to check out ANY "get rich" scheme thoroughly before you sign up...you get nothing for free, natch, so there's money they're asking for right? Make sure you're going to get something from your investment. Truth or Fiction and Snopes are two sites that I regularly use to see if something has been reported as a fraud or hoax (I wish everyone would use them before forwarding e-mails, and/or use the BCC field, but that's another post)

Ms. Groove found one (Global Domains International) after searching for months (years?) and is now a team leader and system builder. PowerpathGDI is growing in leaps and bounds (Ms. Groove actually developed the "Powerpath" team concept and the rotator that helps members build their teams) ...yes there is an investment each month, but we are seeing increasing payouts each month. It's not a get rich scheme, and it takes patience and hard work. The extra income is helping to pay down some bills and help us get ahead a bit, and the payout is increasing each month slowly but surely!

I got two more opportunities forwarded to me through Twitter this afternoon (which in part inspired this post.) Sure, I'll check them out...
