I just love boys

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 15 Sep 10

Ed Howe said that “a boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.” Doesn’t that really sum up everything there could be said about boys? My two...

It’s important how you say what you say.

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 15 Sep 10

We’re all sinners, in my humble opinion. I don’t mean it necessarily in a religious way. I believe that my great hero, the carpenter from Palestine, just summed up what humanity was by then ready to hear (or not). It’s not always...

Problems After Problems – Yuck!

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 15 Sep 10

“The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.” I don’t know who said that originally, but it does sound a chord, doesn’t it? I mean, the way I...

When the world says “give up” hope whispers “one more time”.

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 15 Sep 10

I’ve dealt in one of my blog posts with the practical value of faith. This is basically an extension of it. First of all, I’m not sure whether faith is an emotion. I believe, however, that, if it is an emotion, it is one of a...

The Practical Value Of Faith

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 14 Sep 10

Let me start this entry with a curiosum. As far as I know, and I was born and raised in Germany, I am, in fact, a German, there is no exact equivalent to the English word “faith”, or indeed the Spanish word “fé” in the German...

The Case For And Against Christ

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 14 Sep 10

Even though I’m not a particularly religious person, I am very much interested in all things pertaining to the beyond and a higher power (if it is only one, that is). I have read widely, practiced religion myself, and continue to...

Another Business – Great!

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 5 Sep 10

I’ve been invited to yet another business down here in Mexico. It’s not the first time. This time ‘round a friend of mine invited me. He breeds German Shepherd dogs, then sells them. It seems to be quite lucrative, but, as with...

After two divorces I now live with my dog. She is 7 year old German Shepherd, and we’ve been ‘hanging out’ together since the beginning of July. The good things first. She never talks back, and she’s always happy to see...

Scam Ad Absurdum

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 5 Sep 10

I’ve just done some surfing, and I came across another one of those ads. It said, literally: “Get 250,000,000 visitors to your site. .” And I thought I’ve seen it all……. The thing with these ads and sites is that...

For some time back in the eighties I used to live in a car. It was an old Mercedes combi, just big enough for two people to live in. Big bed at the back (of course, we were recently married…) a little kitchenette, and a not so...

Do Traffic Exchanges Work?

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 4 Oct 09

In a nutshell, yes. But it takes a lot of work and dedication, and it is very slow. I've been surfing for two years now, and I've mainly focused on building downlines in the major exchanges, like trafficswarm, traffic-splash,...

Is God Dead?

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 30 Sep 09

Let me point out first that I personally don't believe that he or she is dead. But I feel that a shift in our perception of him/her is mighty necessary. I believe he/she is beyond our grasp. Our minds can only deal with...
