To all of the strip club searchers who find there way to my blog because I once wrote about my buddy and his bachelor party in Reno. Thanks. You keep making me money on Google ads. Thanks for supporting a Dad of twin girls.

Now DELURK!

If you are, send me your contact information and a sample of your work if you have it handy?

I loved blogging. The people I have met and communicated with are my Blogamigos.

So, until sometime in the future, I leave you with this link. http://trustmepeople.blogspot.com/2008/07/bloggers-put-out-or-shut-up.html

Peace!

-Dad2twins….

p.s. I will be lurking. Oh, and Thanks to Sheafe at Thinking Clearly for the one, single donation. You rock!

Really?

No one has the time or money to help? So far 1 donation in a week from my best friend of $20.00.

Okay then. Maybe you should read the one comment on this post. I’m afraid it says it all.

Now I understand the economy sucks and gas is out of this world but I am asking for a very small individual donation from a lot of people. I’ll say it again….. Please?

I am again not posting for a week while I leave this up.

Hi. While I was away enjoying myself in Tahiti and New Zealand, I have come to find out that Iowa was devastated by floods. Yes, I know you already knew this. I feel terrible for those that have lost EVERYTHING to these floods. Do you?

I am asking for your help. I have a paypal account where you can donate money to help these victims. Many parents of young ones lost everything. The kids lost EVERYTHING. We can help. If you click on the donate button and donate money into the Paypal account (below in the middle of page), I will make sure the money goes to those victims. I have contacted Christine over at the Bean Blog who lives in Iowa. I have asked her to make sure the money we collect goes to a local charity to help the flood victims. SInce she lives in one of the worst hit areas, I am leaving it up to her discretion to pick the best choice to receive the money when we have finished collection it.

I am going to leave this post up for a week without posting any other posts on my blog. I will also make a donation to this cause from the Farty Pants Twins.

Please help. The kindness of strangers can go a long way. If everyone does just a little bit, it can add up to a lot. Pass this around to your friends and ask them to come to my site and make a donation as well. Let’s use the power of the internet for a good thing. Take some time and help those kids who lost everything.

Thank you for your kindness in advance.

Now let’s talk about my professional life. I need a professional life because Dad2twins is not making me nearly enough money to feed my family, pay into the Farty Pants Twins college fund and keep my wife in the nice things she deserves. Besides, my professional life is where I should be connected. That’s where to many organizations and networking groups are that can help me advance my career. RIght?

Now I’ve tried MySpace and hated it. Besides, it’s not really for professionals as far as I can tell. I have never tried Facebook. Is it worth my time? Or is it also for college kids and music junkies looking for the next great band?

Then there is LinkedIn. I needed something to connect my professional life to the internet. Something that had a social component to it. I had many of my clients ask me if I was on LinkedIn. Finally, I jumped on board. I like it for the most part. It keeps me connected to my clients. I find that I communicate more with them than I would have without LinkedIn. As of this post I have 85 connections. Not too bad. I find that the competitiveness comes out in me and I am shooting for 100. As I live and breath, I will make 100 connections or I will feel the complete failure. I have friends with several hundred connections. How is that? How do they know more people than me. They are my friends. I know there friends. Okay, I don’t know their clients, but 300? Come on, really? 500. Now you are just lying.

So, I am a Linkedin Junky.

“Hi, my name is Lance Hulsey and it has been several hours since my last login.”

There is no hope for me. I refuse to upgrade to a paid LinkedIn account. I want 100 connections for free. I CAN do it. I MUST do it. I WILL do it.

Can you help a guy out? If you are on LinkedIn. Connect to me and I promise I will approve your connection.

Come on, you know you want to. Help a guy get to 100. Please!
