Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I have been dancing for about a year and my dad was so nice in driving me an hour (both ways) for that time. I really appreciated it.
It was always hard. Once a month my dad would have a meeting on the same day as my dance lesson. My mom would occasionally take me on those days. It was always a hassle for them because they both worked and had to take off to take me there. They really have told me that they can’t just take off from work and leave anymore.
Anyway, I used to get so behind and would go sometimes several months without a lesson. I would spend the entire time trying to get caught up, and the ADCRG wouldn’t understand why I didn’t understand what was going on because she only could come to class once a month (she is ADCRG leader of several McTeggart schools). Communication was never good. The school would send us tons of emails that got forwarded to all the parents. My parents couldn’t keep up with them all and neither could I. at least 4 times we drove all the way there and found that it wasn’t going on that day. It was a pain.
I only have been to one feis and I loved it. I did very well for my first time. I placed in all of my dances but only advanced in one dance because of the lack of participants. (I was 14 and about to be 15)
But now it has been months since I’ve last been to Mcteggart. My dad avoids talking about irish dance these days and tries to explain to me that its so hard taking me (driving 2 hours for 1 hour of dancing on dangerous roads). I would drive myself when I am able but my father and my mother have both said that its not safe. I have to agree.. there are many white crosses alongside those roads. I understand.. it was a huge undertaking.
I understand it. I really do. It really was the only thing I could do that was a social activity because my town is small and limited and there are really no activities that you can participate in if you don’t start young. Its simply to awkward and there are literally no beginner levels for my age group for anything. And the worst part – NO irish dance classes. It was the only social, excersize activity that I could do. I was never good at any other dancing (I guess I can’t work both feet AND arms at the same time.. to much coordination involved ). I do art, but obviously thats not going to keep me in shape. And its really hard to excersize on my own with school.
Emotionally I am not okay with quiting ID. I felt so drawn to it 4 years ago when my Aunt was “Irish Man” of the year and I first saw them in the San Antonio parade. I went to the parade 3 times. Each time I renewed my love and desire to participate in ID. Each time I tried to find schools that were near my town. Finally I got to attend summer camp with the Irish Dance school in SA with the school that my aunt was affiliated with. I loved it I found. But SA was 3 hours from my home. So I had to go to a school that was an hour away, even though I always wanted to be at the SA school. I loved the dancing classes while they lasted. It was like my escape. (sooo corny, I know). I try to tell myself its time to quite. I try to tell myself that it is too much of a burden and I’m going nowhere with it. But I can’t get over it. Its pathetic. I can’t move on. Every time I hear one of my irish dancing songs on my ipod, I think of it and I wish I was still dancing. Its terrible.
I don’t know how to move on even if that is whats best for me. I know you think I sound like a freak. I just have excepted the fact that my parents can’t take me there anymore. I’m not going to push it anymore. I’m really crying as I write this. I’m an emotional unhappy camper.
I’m sorry to be such a downer on this board. I guess I just need some advice
I am struggling to replace ID with something as good as it is. But its really hard in this extremely limited, close-minded town. All the sports I feel I am too old to participate in because everyone has been playing for years and I moved here when I was 6 but at the time never had interest in the sports. My parents signed me up for things when I was younger.. I made it to middle school.. tried out for teams and never made it. I was criticized for being too thin and not muscular. I gave up then.
Do you have any advice? I’m really sorry for this long thread post. I’m just venting right now. I would really appreciate any life coaching lol and any opinions.

I am searching for 3 small investors to help start a newspaper campaign. Help me and my small group of independent agents start the year off right. We are all commission sales people, with small families/some of us signal parents. We help retired Veterans pre-plan their future funerals. They served this country and get a Burial Benefits (Cemetery plot or niche at National Cemeteries). At this point there is No Government Sponsored Mortuaries. All of these Vets are willing to start their small plans. Our small group helps them with their choices. We need to let these Veterans know of their benefits. So please let me know who is willing to invest $800.00 with a return of %5 in four months or sooner?(the money is for the ads in the newspaper) Let me know miranjohnson@gmail.com

I have a ESPN3 affiliated cable provider (Charter) but I don’t have an affiliated ISP (CenturyLink). Could I still get ESPN3 access on my PC AND Xbox 360? Thanks!

My dad has a decent collection of short stories he has written over several decades that I want to combine in kind of an anthology of his work. I was planning on going on like Blurb.com or Lulu to self publish it, and maybe even have it listed on Amazon for fun. On Lulu they sell ISBN. Or I thought about actually sending it to a publisher to get published. But since his stories are very niche, I don’t know if there’s publishers that will pick up his stories.
Anyway, my question is… Years ago he may have had some of these stories published in magazines. He never got paid, but it was like Deer hunter magazines that he sent to. They liked his story so they published it. No money was exchanged. I’m wondering if the magazine would have the rights to these stories or can he still do what he wants with his stuff?
All of his work is printed off from the printer or in the forms of old emails. It be fun to see it edited, formatted, and all together in a collection so that’s what I’m doing for him right now. I’m just wondering how far I can attempt to go with his stories.
And yes he knows I’m doing this. I got a stack of papers I have to retype because the digital copy of many of these stories are lost and only thing that’s left is what he copies with copy machine.

The USMC special operations is a bit confusing to me. I know about Force Recon, but how are MSOR and MARSOC affiliated with each other? Is there a direct route to MARSOC or even Force Recon as a civilian? For example an 18x or bud/s contract? Is USMC MARSOC now apart of SOCOM? And will USMC ever have an elite tier 1 in JSOC, like Delta or DEVGRU?

I am currently recruited to going into 74D (CBRN) leaving for Ft. Leonard Wood to attend BCT and AIT there from March 14th, 2010-sometime in August. My main goal however, and what got me to sign, was my desire to serve in PsyOps (or MISO…still can’t get over the name change, lol) largely due to my 20 years professional b/g in marketing, negotiations, and language (Scandinavian languages thanks to family, and I have studied Russian and Japanese off and on for about 5 years). My last company was a FOX News affiliate to I owned and operated, with most of my background in business and broadcasting, as well as print media. You can probably see where my attraction to 37F comes from. 🙂 I also recently left playing semi-pro football to give you some insight on my physical b/g, although running miles is something I still getting used to having mostly only running sprints for several years and I am aware there are physical demands as well in PsyOps from what I’ve learned. I am 38 now (turning 39 in Feb.). My question to anyone who has actually served closely or in 37F is the reality of me making PsyOps (1) and (2) what is the likely-hood of me serving with my boot son the ground for a few years and then transferring into a role that would serve in an embassy somewhere or the Pentagon? The reason for this question is b/c I’m blind to the fact I am getting older and would be in 40’s by that time and not sure how long someone my age could serve in the field and could see serving better in a strategic role later on, rather than tactical, although 9th BN looks tempting. I would like to switch over to 37F ASAP after completing AIT for 74D and ‘no’ I do not have a degree.
Also, I am looking for constructive answers here or feedback. As anyone joining PsyOps, you cannot just join as an enlistee, you have to enlist in an initial MOS before going into PsyOps to explain my enlistment into 74D. After which, I’ve been told I can immediately try to enlist into 37F and try to get accepted as it is a Spec Ops unit, everybody has to be accepted first. Correct me if I’ve been told wrong here, but please, be someone who actually knows what they are telling me, preferably someone IN 37F. Thank you in advance. 🙂
