I ask for prayers for my husband and our family as he faces chemotherapy for his cancer.

God, thank you for the blessings you have bestowed upon us, but I ask that you watch over my husband during this time of illness and help the medicine to heal his body.

Publish America is a thief

writer43 — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 17:58:06 GMT

I'm posting the emails and replies in regards to my on going battle with PA about them receiving one of my books that I had paid for and was returned in error to them. What do you think I should do next? I'm thinking of hiring an attorney but not sure if it will do any good. But as you can see, they are thieves through and through.

Dear Barbara Foster:

Thank you for your email. As stated below, unsold copies are
generally destroyed, therefore the copy offered now is different.

Thank you and have a good day,
Kelsey

For or Against

What are your feelings about the government run health care they are proposing?

I personally do not want it. It has to many strings attached and since I am over 65, I will lose the Medicare I have and paid into all the years I worked and will have to be evaluated to see if they want to continue providing health care for me or if they think I'm a liability and therefore not entitled to receive health care but I bet you ten to one if that happens, they will still think I have to pay my share. You know all of us people on Social Security are rich.

I don't think it is right to make anyone give up their health care plan or to pay a high premium because some lazy scum bag won't work and thinks the government owes him everything. And those people are the ones who will be first in line because "poor people can't afford it." That is bull crap. They aren't any more needy than anyone else and will ruin it for everyone as everytime they get a fart crosswise they'll run to the doctor. They do it now and apply for Medicaid to go along with the SSI because they are to lazy to work and earn it.

I can't afford a separate health care plan but I try to take care of myself the best way I can and hope nothing disastrous happens or I'll just be out of luck but that is my choosing and I'm not asking the government or anyone else to pick up the bill. I know a lot of people in the same position as I am and they all feel the same way. We will pay our own way and won't put it on our neighbors or family to foot the bill.

Right now I pay the difference that Medicare don't cover and I know one thing, I will not allow my doctor to put me through the tests as he did earlier this year. That was a waste of time and money and unless they have a reason, I see no reasoning in testing just to make sure everything is all right. There was more danger in the tests I had done with all the radiation than I needed and I won't do it again.

I hate going in for this stupid ear infection but there are some things we need care for and this happens to be one of them but I still don't like going. And I know there are a lot of people who just can't afford health insurance, but this is not the answer.

This whole plan is a sham and our health care system which has its problems and yet is one of the best in the world will cease and go down the tubes but then our government wants that as they want to control all of us.

Shades of Hitler, if you ask me. And the dictators in Washington are going to keep chipping away at all of us and our freedoms and constitution until we will have nothing.

This is the way I feel about it and I'm curious to see how you all feel.

TEA PARTY

writer43 — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:12:42 GMT

Since the main stream media is not covering it, I wanted to post something about the Tea Parties that will be held this coming Wednesday, April 15th.

TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. Over 1800 towns across the country will be holding these tea parties at noon to let our congressmen and women know that we are unhappy with the excessive spending and taxation they keep trying to ram down our throats.

Enough is enough. We are going to the one at Muskogee, Melanie and Zach are attending one of two in Tulsa. There will be some big names at some of the larger cities and we heard that they have so many people coming to the one in San Antonio, that they aren't sure where they are going to have it. They were going to have it at the Alamo but say there are to many people.

I hope we have good turnouts and maybe msm will take notice. They just think it is a few people complaining about paying their income taxes, but that is far from it.

I hope you will find out where the Tea Party is being held in your area and attend. http://www.teapartyday.com There is a "location" button and you can find your city or one near by and the contact person or even the time and location.

Thanks,
Barb

Barb, all you have to have is a word file that contains your formatted story, set up the way you want it. I don't want to appear to be talking "down" to you, just a few things that I ran into in the past...
Make sure you have the first two pages blank or at least the first one, then your dedication or what have you on the second so that your title page appears on the third page.
The print should be offset to allow for loss of page on the spine side of each page. In smaller books it wont be noticed but anything over 150 pages or so I think it would be a wise idea.
When you create the project at Lulu, it will ask you to upload the file that you want to use for the book, and it will take that and convert it and let you know when it is done.
You will start with choosing the binding method, which is pretty simple and they have illustrations of what they look like.
You have to choose covers and spine, you can mix and match if you like, I went with the same front and back and picked a complimentary color for the spine. Make sure that whatever printing color you choose contrasts with the main colors. My first one I chose green print, too bad the spine was gray, it barely showed up!
You simply fill in the boxes for the most part inserting text on the covers wherever you want.
Once you think you have it done, review the project and then order ONE of them to look over closely. You can edit it at any time, making changes in the manuscript or text color or even changing the covers without any charge at all, and you get the set how much you earn off each sale. And yes, it is credited to your account. You set up how you get paid, either by a check mailed to you or through Paypal. And I am glad you asked, Barb, cuz I went to check and found out that I had money sitting there, but hadn't filled out my remittance information. I get paid through Paypal, since it is linked directly to my checking account I can do all transfers online, although I usually end up spending it on Ebay before I get it transferred!
If you have any more questions, feel free to pick my brain... just be careful, no telling what you might step in!
Bruce
