I have decided to relocate to a new blog name. Please frequent it at clemonscitycircus.blogspot.com.

I was really torn in how to begin. Do I start a blog? Do I create a website? Honestly…. I still don’t know so I have begun both. I have never been a fluffy person. I tend to enjoy and stick mainly just to the facts. So what are the facts, you ask…. Good question. I love history. I love trivia. I love math and even some science. I want to learn new things. I want to do the research myself because I want to make sure I learn it. I can not put what you learn in my head. If its something that interests me, I will learn it better. I am not an art lover but I read this fact about Leonardo da Vinci that tickled me the other day and I haven’t forgotten it.

Leonardo da Vinci took 12 years to paint the lips on Mona Lisa.

TEACHING WITH TICKLERS

I believe we always learn the best if we are interested in the topic or if we are taught with humor. You know how I learned Abraham Lincoln was on the $5 bill? Joey Tribbiani said it in one of the episodes of Friends – my favorite show. On today’s episode I learned that starboard is left when looking at the front of the boat, and port is right. I may not care about these things but I won’t forget them because humor was used t teach them. My personal belief coming from a place of lots of research and experiences is that children and adults learn best with humor and interest, but teachers like my mom can’t spend hour of research on a lesson. I can though…. So in the long run, I am hoping I help ease the burden and put fun in the lessons.

BUDGET BOOSTER

Now, I hate e-mails, blogs, and videos that go on and on for a year before tapping out the project so I swore I wouldn’t do that. But I also hate the idea of giving you what a lot of people came for and you not coming back for the next post, I also hate to make this a more competitive market…. But so many people ask me and so many people need that extra income that I simply feel obligated to pass this knowledge on. If you need some extra money in the Dallas area, I know what to do, I am only going to hand you one today and I am going to challenge you. If you are in the Dallas area and you go online to pktesting.com and join their database, they will call you for your first taste test within a couple of weeks. These are in Plano, usually only take 20-30 minutes and you are paid cash at the end of the study. These are only about $25-40 usually, but this week they are doing a two day study for a little more than an hour each day for a total of $110. When you get there, you fill out a referral form that says Elisabeth Clemons sent you so that I get my tiny bonus (NOT deducted off yours) and I won’t be so mad about coming off this information that is so incredibly valuable to me. Why would you signing up for these taste tests actually hurt me? Well, think about it. If I double their database, I get half the calls, right? If I make $200 every month at this site alone (and I do), now I am down to 100. I’ve got a teenager. A $100 goes a long way, right? So… I am gambling here. I have so many. I am pitching you this one, hoping you will come back for another and hoping you will say I referred you to this one. Thanks!
