Hello Adlanders,


I come to you today with a special notice. My fiance, Hildegarde C Ebersohn, and I have unofficially joined hands together in marriage on this date of 12-12-12. While we have not yet received paperwork for the Fiance Visa, we decided that since we had planned to get married on this date that we would share the words together and make the motions known. So with that being said, I ask that you will keep us in your prayers as we prepare to spend our lives together. Below is a statement I just made public a few moments ago, and I'll share it with you.

"Hilde,

My beautiful wife, thank you for sharing these words(Vows). Your eyes penetrate my  soul, and you make me complete, not only in spirit, but in body, as God intended for  us to be. I have no doubt that you will be the best wife a woman could be, and I pray  that with His help I will be the best husband a man could ever be in this world. I'm thankful that He brought us together, and I know that He will bless us abundantly as  He has promised, so long as we keep Him as the Head of Our Household. I love you  very much, and I look forward the days that will be ours in the future we hold together.  

All My Love, Hugs, and Kisses, -James"

Hi All,

I am so excited to be given the opportunity by James Wright & Adlandpro to share my bio and article. My wife & I have been married right at 15 wonderful years now. My children are my 13-year old daughter & 10-year old son. My wife and I have been working online to supplement our income for over 10 years now and have learned a lot. My favorite thing about the Internet is making friends with so many people and building relationships. I love bouncing ideas off of each other, what works, what doesn't, what you can do better, and all. Some of my areas of expertise include taxes, accounting, computers, paid-to sites, online surveys, social networking, forums, communities, blogging, traffic exchanges, free advertising & much more.

Article: Using good etiquette in social networking

Hi everyone, so excited to be a part of this close-knit community. I wanted to take a minute to share an acronym that I learned when I was first involved in network marketing about 10 or so years back. It is called F-O-R-M or FORM. When you meet a new person, friend, acquaintenance, prospect, even someone who you might know slightly but not that well, here are some guidelines on how to communicate with them.

First, the "F" in F-O-R-M stands for "Family." Ask the person about their family. Hi, my name is Steve for example. I am married with two children, how about you? Encourage them to respond and allow them to speak. The second letter "O" stands for "Occupation." Ask them what they do for a living. Express real interest in them as a person. The third letter "R" stands for "Recreation." Talk about what each other likes to do for fun and recreation, such as play baseball, watch sports on TV, go to a live sporting event, etcetera.

That covers the "F-O-R" in F-O-R-M, leaving only the "M." My suggestion is to possibly start back over and discuss the first three a little more over time. This works well when you meet someone in person and would like to get to know each other in the first 2 to 5 minutes of meeting, such as when you're at a party or social gathering.

However, I think that you can use it online too when emailing each other back and forth, using instant messenger, corresponding on social networking sites, and so forth. The final letter "M" stands for "Message." No, I'm not talking about giving a massage ha ha. I'm referring to getting to a point where you feel comfortable discussing what it is you would like to share with someone, such as about a business you own, a program that you are excited about, an event that you are coordinating, or whatever the message may be.

If you practice good F-O-R-M, both online and offline, then you are sure to make friends & build relationships.
If you focus on the message first, on spamming people, on being selfish, then we all lose.

With Christ's Love to ALL of my wonderful Adlandpro friends. Sincerely, Steve Runningman Martinezshopper.ws

I wonder how many people, especially newer members realize how much "exposure" they can get when they come to Adland, when they talk to people, even a simple thing as completing their profile can make a big difference in how they are viewed?

As some of you may know I was reluctant to be part of the POTW, but then I thought about it,....exposure and being able to say something to everyone that I felt important to say.

When you see Adland - what do you see?

Many people see only the classified section to Adland, a place to place a "free ad", but there is another part to Adland, one that truly is unique and that is the social aspect, the community, the people who love talking about so many things, from art to politics and just about everything in between.

Dear Adland friends,

This time I will not bore you with facts regarding my life as a child or as a young and talented executive. Gone are the days when I would pity myself thinking my life had been wasted searching for riches. Gone are my frantic attempts to recover the lost time by looking to music, art and literature as life's redeemers.

Nor will I boast about the great networker I am now. All I want to tell you is what my vision of life has become, what I think my mission in life is at present, and what I believe the world will be like in the near future. All these questions can be dealt with in a few paragraphs.

Until recently, I used to think my mission in life was to help as many people as possible overcome their financial problems. Now I believe there are powerful forces working on in that area which can result in a wonderful outcome for everyone on this planet.

 Hi Adlanders,

It is very exciting to be a part of ALP for so many years now. It is truly an honor to be recognized as Person of the Week. One of the many things that I like about this community is that whether someone is very active here or not, you still treat us with respect while we are here, encourage us when we are not, welcome us back with loving arms and so forth. So as not to leave anyone out I prefer not to start giving credit however I will have to mention a few of the special people in addition to ALP owner Bogdan Fiedur that mean so much to me, including Jim Allen III, Kathleen Vanbeekom, Dennis Clairmont, and many, many others!

When I start talking to folks about me, which is rare, I am quite tight lipped and I am my own worst critic and enemy. Be glad you have not been party to one of my own personal critiques. I know that I have a long way to go yet

To best describe my early days, this video and song from "Bucky Covington" pretty much covers those days.

Fast Forward to the present ======>>

I have been married to Pam, for 28 years. We have 2 boys, Cody 20 and Justin 27. My namesake James M. Allen IV is 28, he is from a previous marriage and he is married and builds Demolition Derby cars and is a competitive weightlifter.

What people said when responding what their favourite part of Christmas holiday is.

juanita van rensburg
Hi Bogdan Thank you very much for the wishes. I love the lazy, sunny days in South Africa. I also love spending time with my family and friends and just celebrating being alive and having each other!

 

Merry Chistmas and a Prosperous N/Y to you and yours Bogdan. One of the greatest things about Christmas for me is the Joy and Happiness the season brings, It is unforetunate that this vibe only last temporarily...but I cherish each joyful moment.

  

Hi Bogdan,

I'm glad to see you outside and having fun like a big kid! :) My favorite part of the Christmas season is seeing all the lights on the houses and trees. I also enjoy all the beautiful holiday foods...and sending/receiving Christmas cards :) Have a wonderful Christmas with your family!

 

Hello Bogdan, It's nice to see the human part of you having fun in the

snow and on the sled... often times we forget about who it is we are dealing with online, and the personal touch that we now have available thru videos and Youtube make it so much more real. Christmas to me is much like Thanksgiving, in that the family gets together, shares a big plate of delicious food, and then opens the gifts that have been so carefully wrapped with love and affection of a family or friends:)

-James

 

Hi Bodgan, Merry Christmas to you and your family. My favorite parts of the holidays would be of course the gathering of family, and the decorating. I tend to go over-board, and it takes a few weeks to complete my decorating. Just driving around and looking at others creative decorating sparks my mood for all holidays, but my favorite is Christmas.

Helen Flora

 

Happy Holidays I love everything about Christmas. Family, friends, cheer. The whole

experience.

 

What I like most about Christmas is the feeling I get when I see the smiles on the faces of children opening presents and having fun playing. That feeling I get when I give someone my best wishes for the holidays... The feeling I get when I look to the west and imagine Christ being born.... It's that feeling known as the "Christmas Spirit".... And to all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...!!!

 

Thank you Bogdan. I wish you and your family the best of festive seasons and a magical 2013. My favorite part of Christmas is having the most quiet, slow, relaxed and peaceful morning of the year with my partner Greg (no "have to do" commitments for either of us). I love how Christmas globally connects so many of us, across many borders and oceans, with a common celebration. It gives many people a reason to get in touch, when they might otherwise not have done that. :)

 

My favourite part of Christmas in New Zealand is being able to have a barbeque outside where we can sizzle some sausages and steak on it. Being a Kiwi we like to enjoy the outdoors at Christmas as we are in the midst of our Summer. I also love going to the beach or enjoy the swimming pool at Christmas as it can get quite hot indoors. That's what I love about Christmas in New Zealand.  Happy Christmas everyone!! <(:)l=

 

My favorite time is Christmas dinner with family and friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

 

My favorite time is the meal and fellowship with family

 

 

Thanks very much! Merry Christmas for you too! Greetings from Argentina. Norberto

 

Hi Bogdan! Thank you for this Merry Christmas holiday greeting video! I shared it with my friends and family on Facebook. My favorite part of this Christmas will be the Christmas Eve Service at our church and the calls from my kids since we will not all be together this year.

 

Merry

christmas to you also, and a happy New year, my favorite day is all of the holidays, because that is when I can spend more time with my family without stress of the rat race, and all the food (like I need a lot of that lol), anyways just the joy of the gathering of close friends, and family........

 

Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks for AdLand Pro and keep up the good work! Dragica

 

Hi Bogdan! Thank you for your heartfelt Christmas greeting. My favorite part of Christmas are our family gatherings at one of my sister's home and at one of my brother's home and the meals and the fellowship. And, I also enjoy the gathering in my home and watching my step-grandchildren, ages 5 and 3, opening their gifts. AdLand Pro is a special blessing to me and to my business and I thank you for creating this amazing advertising resource that helps me and my business partners to excel!

 

I love You Bogdan Merry Christmas My Favorite thing about Christmas is spending it with all my loved ones and driving to see all the christmas lights around

 

Hi Bogdan...Nice to receive this greeting from you. I think I would love being at your Christmas table. We too have food that I make especially at Christmas. My son all was makes peanut brittle and ginger bread cookies...so delicious. May we all experience an abundance of Peace/Joy/Love and prosperity!...for the Christian, Jesus is the reason for the season, Other Faiths have great traditions too.

 

My favorite things during the Christmas season are family activities and reliving the stories of the birth of Christ Jesus.

 

Merry Christmas Bogdan and family! It looks very Christmassy where you are! What I still miss most about Christmas even after many years of living on the coast is snow. The best part of Christmas for me is whose birth we celebrate - my Saviour, Jesus Christ. Next best is the time with my family together, although now my daughter and her family are far away. :)

Hi, Bogdan,
I really don't have a favorite day in the holidays if that is what you want, but I do love the music of
the holidays. I am in a Women's Singing Group called InHarmony and we go to all the Retirement Homes
in the area and sing holiday songs. It is great fun and we love the response that we get.

Thank you for your wish for Christmas. I wish for you a most joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
I really am not a Christian so we don't do much for the holidays. I am a member of the Baha'i Faith and we have our gift giving time the last week of February.

I hope to see you on Adlandpro again.
Sincerely yours,
Ethel Van Zanten

Thank you for that lovely video. I especially like you going on the sled. lol nice. The best thing I like about the holidays is getting together with my friends. Party mix and cookies is one of the big things around our area. Turkey and stuffing, (we call it filling) mashed potatoes, candies sweet potatoes, corn, green beans, fruit salad, mince pie, coconut cake, apple pie.
 
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Holiday season. Looking forward to 2013 and Adlandpro friends.
