Help Me Unring That Bell!

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Social media has been a hot topic in our house lately (yes, that’s the kind of things nerds talk about) because Daddy recently spoke at a tech conference about integrating social media into education.

While I have fully embraced social media and I love all that it offers, today I got to see first hand the downside.  After promoting the Mamapedia.com deal that was to be delivered today, mamapedia decided to run the ad at a later time.  Not only that, but they decided to run another photographers ad this week.

So, my friends, I know that many of you have been doing just as I’ve asked and told friends about the deals that were coming.  And, I am hoping that they turned around and told friends.  That’s the beauty of social media right?

Until something like this happens.  And I have no way of knowing how many friends of friends are online right now buying another photographers packages.

No way to unring that bell.

That being said, Mamapedia has ‘gone dark’ (for all of my 24 fans!).  Since they have done so, I would like to extend a very special offer to you in place of the Mamapedia ad, because in the end, it is my job to take care of you. :)

I will offer the same offer that Mamapedia was going to run, which is for $99 you will receive $199 worth of credit to use towards any package you’d like.  Meaning, if you apply it towards the nibble, you are good to go for only $99.  BUT, to help remind you to pitch in and unring the bell that has been rung by telling your friends and family about THIS deal, I will also throw in a completely FREE 8 x 10 print of your choosing.  This offer stands for anyone that mentions this blog posting, or what I am now nicknaming the “Unring The Bell” deal.

So please, get the word out there to anyone who you may have already told, and anyone you think could use this deal.  This deal is only available directly through me, and I will honor it for anyone who books and mentions the deal, for the remainder of the month.

I love you all more than my luggage,

Angie

I’m A Freak

Daddy and I have been paying cash for everything ever since we did the Damn Ramsey Financial Peace University about a year ago.  We use our debit cards, and use electronic envelopes, instead of paper, so perhaps that is why even after a year of being in this practice we still have people who cannot understand our decision.

For example, as I mentioned yesterday, the Used Car Salesman Chiropractor wanted me to pay over $3k for 6 months of chiropractic and alternative care, all without my insurance.  I told him IF we decided to move ahead, we could not do it right away as I would need to save the money prior to starting.  He then offered me a financing through Chase Bank, and told me it was ‘better’ than financing because the credit limit would be much higher than what he would need to use, so I would have that ‘cash’ on hand to use however I’d like.

At first, I politely explained that I don’t use financing for anything, and I would need to stick to my plan and save up.  He assumed I couldn’t get credit, so then he assured me that he could get me approved.  I explained that was not the issue, as I could probably get approved with no problem, however I choose not to use credit of any kind.

I went to another chiropractor today.  Unlike last week, I have to say I was disappointed.  This used car salesman doctor recommended I do chiropractic care in addition to oxygen treatments.  All for the low-low price of $6k, which is not billable to my insurance … even though I have unlimited chiropractic coverage.  While I was listening to his little speech Caterpillar was totally out of control.  I have no idea what to do about his little attitude.  He was hitting me, clawing my face, screaming a blood-curdling scream he does when he doesn’t gets what he wants, and throwing his shoes.

It was awesome and I was so proud. (more…)
