DINEL'S PREFERRED
TRADERS NEWSLETTER
1/20/10
Hello everyone and welcome
all the newcomers to the site, am so glad you found us. You'll notice some changes on the wishes page and look up links page and there is a new wishes alcohol page but you can only access it from the two previous ones until I can get time to make new buttons and move some of those around to be easier to find. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are staying warm with all these blizzards and unusual cold weather. We here is middle FL have experienced weather below freezing and the orange and strawberry crops were damaged along with many other winter vegetables. Watch, it won't take long for prices to climb even more.
I do have over 90 pages of new info to merge but just not the time to work it. Please do send emails regarding when it gets done, I can barely type so until I get the use of my arm back all those are on hold.
Didn't get the shotgun to the get the racoons, we caught one, called the pound to pick up and they wanted $40 each so it was let go. They used to pick up for nothing, not anymore, everything seems to have a fee these days, probably they'll find a way to add a fee to each sneeze we get during this winter season. Florida doubled tag, licenses, registrations and anything they could find to raise revenue, we don't have a State Income Tax, we rely on the tourists and the homeowners insurance went up even though our property values went way down.
Since last update in December I've added numerous forms to the Internet forms page, I had added some other things like wishes and tips and wishes before I fell but just in the last couple of days I got some forms from friends and found some in searching so they are on the website now.
There are no longer any UPC info on this site, thank Sherry8 and the lady the bought the CD burned copies and sold them. There are a couple of pages with links so you can learn to find them yourself until I'm well enough to get back to doing the book and possibly monthly updates and the wine and liquor.
Due to health issues I'm seriously thinking of giving up my refunding and just do the site and have updates you can purchase. I spend hours and hours and these people betrayed a confidence and those old numbers were even posted on RS for everyone, those of you that might have gotten them from her, those were 2007 numbers and many companies and prices have changed since them so I'd think twice about using any of them.
I'm sure the clearing houses just loved that since they monitor that site, it is open in the search engines to each and every post. So is this site but I hope to get it password protected when its all updated and I learn more.
Add to your refund refusal Fosters, they are now part of the Coors/Miller group and even though the upc said Fosters on it they said it didn't qualify plus some other things. I did get out my January rebates in time and am doing a little bit of ordering but I can hardly write and hold a paper, left arm just doesn't get to desk high.
My wonderful niece came two weekend and helped me work the balancing of hubbys hobbie checkbook and his books so we got the Sales Tax in the mail on the 19th, it had to be posted by the 20th. I still have to go through and find the place for the Breast Cancer products sold to send in the profits. Surprisingly he sold more than I thought but we have two orders here to fill and since I'm waiting until I can close the books with taxes and try to learn Quickbooks and put all the info in there I'm not filling the orders and the two people said there was no rush, they could wait. My niece did wonders with the stacks of papers and we sorted and tossed all kinds of stuff, we even found my desk top which is filling up again. She owns a flower shop here and she's been bringing me fresh flowers each time she comes. She was at the hospital even before my husband got there since he was making calls and getting stuff together. He was sure the shouldner was broken and I would have surgery. God was sure there and my guardian angel because if it would have been completely broken, they couldn't fix it because my body can't tolerate the pain meds I would require. I was a very lucky lady. Now I will have scars on both humerous bones since I did the right a few years ago ice skating. If any of you need to ever order flowers, she doesn't put in all those extra fees and their website is http://www.palmharborflorist.com. She does beautiful work and they helped decorate the Florida Governors Mansion this year also, that is quite a feat when you are asked to join the group. They donate time, silk flowers and other decorations. They also have been sent an invitation to a special show in Tampa before Valentines where they will display some of their designs and also be able to take orders and interact with other shops. They were rated one of the top ten Florists in the state. We are so proud of her, when they got the place it was a mess and she took classes and has learned all this with the help of a few designers. They can take orders here in FL and wire to anyplace in the US and they don't add in all those extra fees most florist do. Next time you need one, check their site, it will be updated shortly from Christmas to get ready for Valentines.
On the tips page I put an article that was sent to me by a friend, FL is suing a Deleware Clearing house for non payment of rebates. I wonder what happened to the FBI investigation YA about 3 years ago for writing checks and filing them and not paying, they still often don't pay. Must be lots of pay offs under the table I think. Rebates going to anywhere in AZ, Grand Rapids MN or Chanhassen MN are YA. This is hear say but someone told me YA was bought out, I don't know by who or if its true but if it was I sure hope the new owners are better than the old ones.
On the look up links page there are links to go to the different clearing houses to ask what happened, if you know of others please share so we can have access to all the clearing houses that aren't processing rebates or do it wrong.
I have been adding info to pages almost every day, the most frequently updated pages are internet forms, coupons, coupon links, tips, Manufacturers, Website freebees. Since I can't remember all that I have added you'll have to check it out. I do have a UPC Look up page so if you are computer knowledgable you can learn to find some of these yourself.
I'm soon going to be learning Quickbooks on the Mac for Hubby's No-Knots so when I get into that I won't have much time for trading, if any of you have used Quickbooks for the Mac that I might call when I get stuck, please email me. I bought it last summer so my free support time is gone, the day I bought it, they registered the sale and I lost the support.
We have a long list of wishes and I need to add the new Physicians Formula products to the list, there are two new offers, the links are on the internetforms page, we need upcs and the offer needs those darn little stickers again that you can't read.
Hope you understand the new pages and info and that I will not be giving out upc info, you do have to look it up yourself for the time being.
There is lots of confusion about the new Paypal Rules for the Personal part. I was told by a manager there would still be no fees but others talk to other people up there and they noticed some people they figure to be abusers, they are adding fees. If you got a letter and you just use it for trading, etc. I'd call them at 1-888-221-1161 and ask for an explanation, perhaps you can get it overruled if they know you are trading coupons and forms and not a business. I think what they did is pick the ones that use it often and tacked fees on them but I didn't get it nor the people I send money to have not received any fees at their end.
I'd appreciate it if you would hold off political, jokes, prayers, etc. email for a while, I spend all my time deleting them and send to Verizon and can't get my own rebates down or work on the database you all need so badly. I can barely get my left hand up to the keyboard and right now its really aching, I think I've done too much so stick with me and check the website for info.
Have a great week

The Database
book and 1st/2nd/3rd Quarter 2008 Book &
Quarterly Update are ready to be order. So it the
Liquor and Wine List Only. There was price increase
on the Quarterly due to the new postal rates but
everything from now on will be shipped Priority
Mail. I have been able to gather lots and lots of
new info for them, hopefully now that the site is
updated I can start the merge.
It was
completed on 11/20/08.
If anyone is interested in
any jewlery, I have some real stones and Swarovski
jewelry and my prices are very reasonable, helps
keep my mind off everything else so keep me in mind
when you want a gift. I don't have a catalog but
what I've made up I finally started to scan so will
have pictures, don't have much right now because I
didn't think of it.
Remember I'm not limited to
Breast Cancer jewelry. I love to design and I make
all my own for each of my outfits. I still haven't
bagged and tagged everything from the last Gem show
but my prices are very very reasonable for
Swarovski and somee real stones. Its a hobby and it
help keeps my mind of what has happened to my
world.
If you are a Motorcycle
person, I have Motorcycle Cell Phone Clips and
Earrings, the Motorcycle charms and lobster clasps
are sterling silver. If you are interested contact
me. I also have crucifixes and can do them up in
birth stone colors of Swarovski, will make great
gifts. I'm working on an heirloom necklack for both
side of my mothers family and there are 14 people,
its becomming quite a challenge with everything
else but I will be making 6 of them once I finish
the first one and get the length correct. Another
idea might be a bracelet with the birthstone
colors. Only charms I have are Breast Cancer,
Motorcycle, Cruxifix's and 2
Seahorses.
Please limit email since some
days I don't even get to it. I'm trying to get to
the bottom of my desk top and getting things filed
and bills paid. Also doing a few rebates but my
pages aren't updated.
Have a wonderful summer and
lets hope this is a more healthy one for all of
us.,
Have a great week and God
Bless !

P.S. Did you know what you
put on your site or on the forums is picked up by
google and possible other search engines so they
can find you, see your posts and look at your
website. They do it by meta tags I understand.
You'd be surprised what I find when I'm out there
surfing for info for you all to add to the
website.
