Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I had this company call my home number claiming to be affiliated with Windows, telling me there was malicious software on my computer. I instantly suspected something fishy, but I played along – cautious as to what info I told them.
They told me to Run the “Event Viewer” program, showing a bunch of errors and warnings. She then told me to go into my computer data to retrieve a 6-digit number from my product ID, and enter it into the Technical Support section on http://www.globetechzone.com/ – allowing one of their workers to have access to my computer. That is where I drew the line. She then told me my systems were out of date, and I needed to pay $115 to update my system. I promptly hung up.
So have any of you heard of globetechzone and is it a scam?

Here’s the situation. I am a 25 year old man, and I’m attending college at a university in Idaho. I have a summer job to help pay for college and housing and such, which causes me to come and live at home for a brief period. With all of this, I am wanting to get engaged to my girlfriend of 5 1/2 years, but mom does not like her family, she does not like her situation. See, my girlfriend is 22 years old, works two jobs, and attends community college here in my hometown. She also lives at home right now. (Basically every time I go up to school for 8 months at a time, she and I are separated.) We’ve been accustomed to the long-distance thing for a period of time, then we’re home seeing each other again in person. I must tell you all now that she is the first girl I have ever been with. I am the first guy she has ever been with. I dated a small amount (can count on one hand) before I met her, but once I met her, we fell in love, and it’s been steady and constant. For 5 1/2 years. Straight. Almost six!
Anyway, I am a deeply spiritual man, and my girlfriend is a deeply spiritual woman. Heck, she even joined the church with which I’m affiliated because she knew it would bring her great peace and joy, and as far as I can see, it has. I won’t get into details–for I am sharing something deeply personal–but basically, I had an experience where I was praying and received spiritual witness from God, like a confirmation of sorts that really boosted my already confident belief in mine and her solidarity as a couple is sure. This just solidified it. I mean, I know God is behind the two of us. My mom really tried to cheapen that when I told her about it by saying that I have been blinded by love, and had not explored my options much, and that I have been too comfortable with this young lady to not pull out of my comfort zone. I argued that I had explored enough, and had been with my gf long enough to really get to know her, as well as saying that I was only comfortable with that comfort that two in love ought to be comfortable with. She didn’t buy it–none of it–and has, from that day forward, sought to control and seek to put forbearance upon my relationship; striving to control how, when, and how long I am in contact with this girl. She’s even put a limit on how many dates I go on with her! Mom’s reasoning? Since I have been emotionally connected, the physical connection will begin. And it could get a little too physical, was the bulk of her wording. Of course, my gf and I are chaste, and we’re Christian, so we don’t do anything sexual between us. We’re gonna wait til marriage. (Besides, why open the Christmas present before Christmas? :D) Anyway, we’re clean, and we have bounds around each other, and we stay lovingly inside of them! I love this young woman with all of my heart and soul, and she certainly loves me just the same, if not more! She amazes me, she dazzles me, and she fills me with great gratitude to God for blessing me with such an angel! But anyway, you all aren’t here to hear that, you’re hear to help me, give me advice, or just reassure me to go forward! Whatever you will say, say it. Thank you all!
God bless!

I went out of state for college to a fairly reputable (but not Stanford/Ivy level) university, and I miss home. Everything is so different and I feel like a made my decision hastily and was a little misinformed. Should I transfer back home to my state school (less reputable, but a lot cheaper)? I have no friends here and I’ve tried several activities and such but none of them has yielded any social connections. I just don’t feel like I fit in here. I like the academic part of the university (and I’m doing pretty well at that), but I’m just bored with the town and the people and my lack of a social life. Should I continue to try to find my niche or transfer back to my home state?

I have an idea for a women’s bra line and I’d like to start delving into making this a reality instead of just a general notion. I know the niche I’d like to fill, and I would like to just do this as a small business from home, selling the pieces via the internet. The thing is, I’m only 19 and have no background in design or any idea where to start in producing quality bras, nor which manufacturing companies to look into. I’d like to find a way to manufacture a few designs inexpensively, rather than hand-sewing or anything like that.
Basically, does anyone know of any sites that might be helpful research areas for my business idea? I’m doing research on my own, but it’s always good to check with others who might know better where I should be looking. Thanks!

Moving (chapter 1)
Have you ever had to move away from your friends? Have you ever had to move for the people you know? Well if you have you know how hard it is, but if not here is my story.
It all started when me and my family, went to Canada in the February half term. We stayed in Toronto.  The weather was hot and the people were so friendly. One day we visited a small country Market on the outskirts of town, on our way we stopped at a small village, all of the houses looked identical a yellow coloured brick work and a grey slated roof, one of he houses was  up for sale, mum really liked the look of it and arranged for a viewing. Despite this meaning to be a family holiday for my little brothers birthday, all we have been doing is going back and forth this one house. It would be great to move here but what about my friends, family and school. mum has always wanted to live somewhere it doesn’t rain just after Coming out of the hair salon, or when your in your local supermarket and people push in front of you in the queue, so this would be hard to pursued her to quit while she was ahead.
 We  got home on the Saturday and  mum has already arranged for the house to be valued and she is meeting with very posh estate agents who wear long black trousers and a White shirt or a pleated blouse. Everything is happening so fast.
 Monday came so quick,  I knew I had to tell my friend that I might be moving away, as I walked alone into school grounds the rain was dripping out of my hair and down my face but that didn’t matter, i was more worried about what  I was going to tell my them, I can’t just drop a bombshell on them like that. I made my way into the school hall, as I got in through the door, snaked my hair dry. I push my way through the crowds of people and bumped into on of my friends chloe,
“how was your holiday? Did you have a good time?” she shouted trying to get her voice above the crowds. You would think I was at a rock concert. luckily I the bell went and I didn’t have to answer, but now the not so lucky bit, the crowds of people were pushing like it was feeding time at the zoo. We made our way to class, all of the other students in my class looked like pale ghosts compared to the people back in Toronto, I saw my friends on the large round desk at the back of the classroom I grabbed a stool and sat next to them.
“So how was your holiday? What did you do ?” Chloe always is the one to ask questions, 
” I had a great time, I stayed in a big hotel with a pool,the sun was so bright and it was so hot,” ok now for the lies I thought ” we went to the beach every day, we went to a theme park and went to a water park, it was amazing.” I had to lie, if I told them I might moving on the first day of term they would be crushed. I managed to get through the day without telling anyone my big secret, but when the bell rang and the end of the day, I walked home alone as usually but before I could escape Chloe came chasing after me, 
“Are you ok ? It’s just you have been very quiet today, and that’s not the you I know,” she had her arm around my shoulder, making sure I didn’t go anywhere before she had a answer,
“yes I’m fine, I just got a bit of a headache that’s all,” I rubbed my head to make it more realistic, she loosened her arm from around my shoulders
“if there is anything wrong though, you can talk to me.” I nodded my head, and started to walk away. I made my way along the muddy, damp field to get to my house.
