#1102-Vol.26 - Last Week was Expensive! - June 10, 2025

Last Week was Expensive!

Isn't it amazing how fast our bills can stack up for us? I'm referring to when surprises are sprung on us. I had such a week just last week.

I had a plumber come on Wednesday to replace the taps for my bathroom sink and the kitchen sink. Because this an old house, built in 1926, he had to hunt hard for the taps that would work in my sinks.

On Thursday about noon I went to dash to the post office to mail a parcel. But when I backed out of my tent garage my tires seemed almost stuck to the gravel. As I was locking the gate a woman pulled up behind me and called out that I had a flat tire. Sure enough!

So I decided to head first to Atomic Auto get that fixed. But as I turned onto Ave. I north, the tires felt as if they didn't want to roll. I pulled to the right side of the street and got out to look. Sure enough 3 of the tires were flat.

Well, I called the CAA, but my membership had expired, so I paid it up and waited for their service truck, that man tested the air, and with that all the air escaped! (He pointed out the slash marks on the 3 tires.)

So I had to call the CAA tow truck.

Almost 2 hours later I had 4 brand new tires on the car!

Back from the post office, I waited for the man with the appointment to do the annual filter check on my drinking water system. Again, I had to pull out my credit card.

Each of these cost me some hundreds of dollars. When I paid up my credit card yesterday I'd racked up over $1000 in just one week!

Thankfully the LORD had seen to it that there was enough in my account to cover all that.

That was one Expensive week!

What's New: What "Custom Domain" Has to Do with Emails?

This problem has held me up the last two weeks at systeme.io; though I thought I understood this, it was not working there.

But I've since gone to check out a number of other free Email or newsletter sites. Most have paid membership levels but some have a free level with limits like only 300, or 500, or 1000 emails in our mailing list, But I went to research 8-11 of these sites last night, and any worth looking at were asking for a "custom domain email."

That means you have to have a domain site, where you can create all the email addresses you want, but these "service sites" want you to insert codes into the email settings so that they will be seen as real emails and not spam/scams, etc. Which only means that they will be sure to get through to your subscribers.

I've gone through the steps several times at systeme.io but they don't show as correctly set up.

By the time I was ready to give up and go to bed last night I decided that syteme.io has the best to offer, so I need to go to their support and ask for their help to get my domain custom email properly hooked up. I don't know how long it might take, so today I'll be sending this email out as I have the last couple of weeks. But I sincerely hope it is all sorted out by next Tuesday.

I have many other projects on the go... and I'm trying hard not to get cranky over some delays. Getting into an emotional stew is not going to help - and I might get burned if the pot gets too hot!

<*> TIPS & SOLUTIONS: <*>

Watch for "iDecide"

I've learned about a new marketing idea that is likely to sell like hotcakes! I haven't tried it out yet, but I hope by next week to invite you to have a look at this interactive way to learn about a method to explore exciting products in a way that will sell as well as ice cream cones at a fair!

It has tremendous potential! Yes, for wealth too!
