Loba – Thank you for this blog. I was just thinking about writing my first blog, trying to assess my “feeling tone,” feeling the grayness of winter inside. Feeling sorry for myself.

Then I happened on your blog and have changed my perspective. I don’t know who you are; certainly, you don’t know me, but I know my day will be different because of you. Thanks for bringing me back.

Namaste.

Mary

Comment on World Vision marketing – WASTE of valuable resources? by Solicited after 4 years from World Vision

Solicited after 4 years from World Vision — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:33:02 +0000

Guess what? I’ve been off their mailing list for 4 years and I got a catalogue just the other day. When I called in to ask, they said that I was put on a limited mail list and that they sent the catalog to those who were previous donors who might be interested. First, I asked them to remove me from their mailing list (not put on a limited one). And second, another former resident who has moved out also got this (she hasn’t lived here for over 2 years) and I cannot update her account or get her to do so herself. They waste a lot of resources and money in the advertising. I already called them to end all messages..

osama b mohamad — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:49:00 +0000

Honestly, i wish to say more of what you said over,
Canaca is the worst the response you immediately one you paid, and when you ask for help or support no one helps, all your websites going to be off and down forever and the funny thing, they have their emergency over their website, when you call them no one answers….

i really wish if we can work to remove that company !

Thanks all

Bob's Credit Card Affiliate Review — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:07:25 +0000

It’s a shame that a person can’t join a program on faith.

Anymore, it’s a pure gamble not to research a company’s reviews before deciding whether or not to spend money on them. I just looked up Canaca in Google, and it was getting bad reviews YEARS ago.

Comment on Burma cyclone death toll by Stephen Gin Lal Mang

Stephen Gin Lal Mang — Wed, 28 May 2008 14:04:50 +0000

Imagine if you had gone through the cyclone that hit our country (Burma) during the very early hours of Saturday, May 3 … if you lost your home and all your belongings … if you lost a person dear to you
in the cyclone …your mother or father, or perhaps a child or spouse. The cyclone that hit Myanmar on last May 3,Saturday of the Nargis cyclone reached 240 km/h (150 miles per hour) in the area of the Irrawaddy River delta and the Yangon harbor.

In accord with the response of our government for international helps, no doubt to say it is delayed already. We feel that this is the right time to stand and take up the responsibility, to care and provide for the needy ones both physically and spiritually.

We are now ready to sacrifice to enter to the most affected areas where no help have been taken yet. There will not be any contrast between the governments. I am assured you that all of your
contributions/helps will definitely reach to the needy, so that they will have life.

Please join us in praying for the precious survivors of Cyclone Nargis who have suffered so much. As we do, let us pray not only for physical provision to sustain the lives of those who have lost literally
everything.

Our objective is to compel 1,000 people to take an action. Obviously, more would be better but we feel that 1,000 is a reasonable number to shoot for. If the average person or church that takes the challenge contributes only $10 each,this could potentially save literally hundreds of lives in Myanmar.

What the urgently need to support them is Food, Water, Clothing and Mosquito net materials for emergency shelter as well as financial assistance.

Your teammate in reaching the needy,

Stephen Mang
Yangon,Myanmar.

Comment on Newspapers and Magazines – Waste of Paper by Tim Henry

I have good news on this I used the services of myjunktree and was able to stop the delivery of the phone books to my home. It was fast and easy. They also stopped all the credit card offers, and catalogs i no longer wanted. I always took the phone books straight to the recycling bin with the rest of my junk mail. I don’t recycle as much stuff anymore, but I stopped it before it gets to me and I think that is even better.

Comment on Charity and Giving by randall butisingh

randall butisingh — Sat, 17 May 2008 13:15:46 +0000

Thanks Loba for those great quotes. I endorse them all. Each act of Charity is a building block for our eternal home. Here is a quote from a great Saint.; I cannot recall his name. I learnt it in a Church school as a child and it is still fresh in my memory. It runs thus:

Teach me dear Lord to serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost,
To toil and not to ask for rest,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To labour and not to seek for any reward
save that of knowing that I do Thy will.

Keep up the good work of enlightenment.

Phyxius, based on the state of this world, I’m afraid to think that the majority would be the self-absorbed type. However, I’m actually thankful not to know the exact stats to prove that.

Comment on Reprinted by sana saleem

sana saleem — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 19:30:34 +0000

i strongly condemn these actions by the danish government and the reasonings they have provided to justify this act of low morality. This categorise their school of thought and the freedom of speech in accordance to their laws.This is pure racism camouflaged in freedom of speech. Their voice regarding the publication being their right is not only devastating but reflects quite worsely on them, it is a bigger insult to the danish writers, the press and their respective media then to any of us muslims.

Comment on Lost For Words by Puma Concolor

Puma Concolor — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:37:33 +0000

I believe you have already taken this first small step. In pointing out the selfish attitude people have adopted, perhaps it will convince them to put aside their over inflated self esteem and take a good hard look at the person within. If they don’t like what they see perhaps they will strive to change. All we need is a media to carry this message to those who need to hear it

When the darkness of our state as a species has me nearly wiped out, I remember a quote I often heard my professor repeat.

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

It’s been said a lot. But the truth behind it is powerful, if more people would only reflect. Your blog itself is a form of light too. =)

Peace be upon you.

Comment on Help Humanity First by David Bennett

David Bennett — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 09:23:04 +0000

Dear Loba,

In only the last few days I have come to the realization that humanity is not doing well. I have looked past my own life and my own troubles to see those of the people of the world. I know what needs to be done but not who is already doing it, or whats being done. I want to help but I have no money. I live in Bremerton, WA, USA. I work a minimum wage job and I only scape by. My family has no money so I can hardly even get the schooling i want. Money equals power. I have no power. For anything to change where people are living as one working together helping each other to save the world and be happy it takes power. I am an intelligent human being and I feel I could really help. Donating money isn’t enough for me because that means for me to really help I’m going to have to do nothing until i become something. I don’t want to waste my time on something that isn’t helping just so i can do all that i can to help. giving someone else my money to help people is not me taking part in fixing the problem. Its me paying to have the problem fixed. I’m sorry if this is long or if you have heard it all before and I’m wasting your time but this is very new to me. today is my first research into what i can do. please e-mail me a response.

David Bennett

Paul, thank you for your feedback. They owed me about $400 US in commission, and paid out nothing. I strongly advise against all unethical companies and this company ranks amongst the top ones in my opinion.

I have been using these guys for a while and haven’t been charged for any hosting which I didn’t approve. Overall I have been happy with their hosting service.

I did sign up as an affiliate and have had $120 in commission “pending” for a while, but any contact I make with them regarding it goes unanswered. Unfortunately my hosting is paid into 2009, but at that time I will be looking for a new hosting company.
