Why NOT to cheat Google...

Karel Kosman photo Yah, I was using google ads for a while, but got frustrated at the small amount of pennies I made, I was getting hungry, and started using proxy servers to click on my own ads. Was making 20 bucks a day and could have easily made more, but didn’t want to push my luck. At total costs of only 10 bucks a day, this strategy secured my survival, while I would go about my other work with ease. I was even starting to chuckle that, "hmm, I guess crime really DOES pay." But google is god and I shouldn’t have underestimated it.

They blocked my account, took 60 bucks from me, and now I wont use them anymore. Anyway, I’ve already been approached by some to put ads on my sites directly and I’ve made WAY more than google could offer, so I’ll use that approach from now on. But I want to make a lot more cash than from ads. Well, we’ll see.

You can get ermine cheese in the States? Craig told me he had a real problem with that, since he’s such a smazhead. My latest masterpiece: there are four wonderful and boasted growing seasons on this island, and I can have an entire artichoke dinner for about 5 Euro. Stuff myself and cleanse and nourish my liver at the same time. The artichoke heads are almost two fists big here. Get a pot, put in tinfoil to seal in the juices, cut the chokes in quarters and slice out the annoying hair (soaks up the delicious juices and you cant eat it), then layer in tons of olive oil, big chunks of garlic, quarters of two lemons (one at the bottom with rind down, and one at the top with rind up), and then salt, black pepper balls, thyme and a bit of oregano. Real easy.

Just make sure to seal the tinfoil so none of the juices escape, and turn down the heat to help prevent the juices from escaping. Let it sizzle away for 20 minutes or more. My sis showed me this when she visited me and we did in on the edge of the fire. The leaves of the chokes turned to crispy brown on the bottom and they were delicious and edible! Will have to put this on my site at some point. But I guess chokes can be expensive in your hood up in the mountains?
