BONANZLE IS NOW BONANZA

Boy I was boiling mad last week at Bonanzle..I woke up early one morning and went to FACEBOOK and I saw a posting about Bonanzale changing their name to BONANZA...I asked if this was something they were thinking of doing and someone said "No granny ...its done."..well my heart stopped for a minute and my blood pressure automatically went up..out of my control..I didn't mean to react that way .it was purlely involuntary..and I just started ranting for about a day and a half..I ranted on facebook and I ranted on Bonanza..I wasn't the only one that felt betrayed...that didnt like it...Personally I still don't like it..I don't like that we weren't informed ahead of time...for many reasons ..one being just because...I cried for hours..real tears ..real sobbing..lots of tissue...Mark even commented on one of my rants and said they did it this way because they thought it best..well I can't argue with what they thought but I can just ask..really?? like did 2 of you get together and come up with this..or 6 of you or what..I would like to have been a fly on that wall...I'm sure legally they maybe had to do it that way..not really sure..but the name Bonanzle was strange...but we all were getting used to it and it became its own unique name..Bonanza ...been there ,did that..like going back..going to the Ponderosa..or the steak house...why not change it to JUMP STREET or something..After posting in many threads the same thing over and over I started getting over it to a certain degeree..I still don't like the way it went down and I don't like the name...but I love the venue...its full of my buddies..its where I've been for almost two years..and I'm staying as long as they will keep me..no matter what they call themselves or Us I should say...they say they will reroute Bonanzle to Bonanza for awhile ..so our business cards are still good...good because I have a slew of them coming now and going to mail some to a friend on Bonanza for her to hand out at an event...Just another way to get the word out...And this is my last about the name change...I LOVE BONANZA......

How I missed my BONANZLE

So my computer was down from the day before Easter 4/3/10 until June 7...over 2 months...I spend between 3-7 hours a day on the computer..running two businesses and returning emails etc...and the one thing I missed the most was being able to talk to my friends on BONANZLE..Whenever something happened..in real life or on the news ..whatever..I immediately wanted to go to the forums and tell the folks or get their opinions..I am known for being in the forums...I promote my wares, play the games and list on another venue or two...but the majority of my doings is on BONANZLE...I did get lots of emails and bmails and even a card ot two in the mail saying I was missed and hope everything is fine...My daughter Jeanell would communicate with some of the folks and try to keep things straight on Bonanzle...Great job Jeanell..you did it..kept it all in line....Now I'm back and I really want to thank Paula (Annapple Bonanza) and Janelle (Nellieskellie) for their help in keeping my games going...things would be all jacked up right now if they had not taken over ...I so appreciate them and I'm sure others do also...as the games help to promote their wares and helps us to promote others items also..

Now that I'm back on the computer I have lots to catch up on..funny how I did forget how to do a few things...but it all comes back to you eventually..I actually forgot my username and password on some sites...lol had to check my book...wow...and how to post a picture in the forums...got it now though...Love being back and hope that never happens again...I need my Puter...I NEED MY BONANZLE....

RADIO INTERVIEW WITH PHAEDRA

I'm a bit late in writing this..I try to do it soon after our talk shoe show so I don't forget anything..but anyway. here goes..It was a great turn out as usual..I did get booted off 3 times ,,even on internet explorer...Aol usually kicks me off..so Phaedra was being interviewed by Jan about how she went from working out of her dining room to having a buildng and how she succeeded...things didn't just come to her..she worked for everything..she started making soaps after tons of research on the ingredients and recipes I guess you could call it..on how to mix this for this condition etc...I wanted to know if she needed any patents or copyrights on her products..she said certain things might need them and to research to see what does and what doesn't need one or the other...we were given links to other sites to show our wares etc..like artfire which is for viNtage and hand made items..and others I need to get them links...anyway another successful seminar..can't wait for the next..

TALKED TO MARK LAST NIGHT....

Last night a bunch of us met in the Talk Shoe chat room..Mark was speaking about some new changes coming soon to Bonanzle...I called into the show of course to ask a question that was just way too long to type in the chat window..must have been at least 40 people in there...People from outside of Bonanzle came in to ask questions ...I believe last night part of the conversation was about making chatting even easier and faster and my thought was dag soon we will be on TV talking to each other..wow..guess I'll have to get dressed and put a bra on for that..lol!!!One of the speakers was talking about how other venues have a program called an API that in the case of you selling same items on more than one venue would delete the listing from the other venues that the item did not sell in......this is where I called in.. because there had been talk about GOOGLE not liking us having same items on different venues and going through them..(GOOGLE)...so I thought there was kind of a contradiction there..and Mark said to check with GOOGLE and see exactly what their policy was on that...will do .....I still have a few questions I want answered...will save them for the show on the 4th of March..the next TALK SHOE...they aren't neccessarily questions for Mark only..but just questions in general....better write them down..All in all I love going to these show..I really do learn a lot from them...Until next time..I'm out....

RUMOR HAS IT..A NEW FILLY

After I and about 20-24 other people gathered in Dcoyotes booth for 4 days and nights watching and waiting for RUMOR to foal(give birth)...she finally did it at 2:56 am Est on Tuesday February 16, 2010.. It all started when Dcoyote posted a link in the BONANZLE forums that this horse was about to foal...well we were all going about our own business and once we stopped and went to the link everything else took a back burner...literally..some had to go to work ,,didn"t want to leave the cam..some had appointments and Valentines day was Sunday husbands wanted to take wives to dinner ..no one wanted to really leave..they did cause they had too only! We met and chatted,,we had contests,,we got to know each other..I hated to ever shut down or leave...Now that its over we plan on meeting in others booths for the births of others..I saw triplet goats and a filly born to a mini horse named SILHOUETE ..SILLY for short (no pun intended).. But not only did we get a beautiful healthy filly out of all this..we made new friends and we were like a family for a few days...It was surreal and I can't wait to do it again..there are others ready to be born within the next few weeks and we plan on meeting in each others booths..I can't wait..got to clean my booth and get some refreshments in mind for my guests...We had a contest for the time of birth once we realized that this would be the day...SILKWORM won and she gets a great package with items donated from about 10 different booths...ALL IN ALL IT WAS A SURREAL EXPERIENCE AND CONGRATULATIONS RUMOR...
