I learn something every time Brenda sends this newsletter out. Brenda knows how to get someone found on the Internet better than the "website know it alls."

If you receive or you open her newsletter with the link above: Brenda has asked for donations for a "notary dog" in trouble who needs an operation. Read the newsletter if your interested in giving.

Thank you Joan. I appreciate the mention of the dog. I put my info out for free and hope that people will forgive me for the donation request because this baby belongs to one of us who I personally know is helpful and does a good bit in the realm of helpfulness of others.

There will be a bit of an update on getting found on the internet via indexing your site because I learned something myself yesterday by making a few phone calls.

My Texas-Signing-Agent.com is having trouble getting into the Google.com index because the editors do not want sites which merely boost and cross reference another person's site. The site I mention may just have to stay on the "b" list because my TexNotary site is already indexed well and the other has some of it mirrored in it.

The people who do the indexing are careful to do their job well and to watch what each other are doing to keep it honest. Where there is a problem getting indexed (like with my second site) it may be because it looks like I am trying to get around the system by merely having a "mirror" site.

Joan - it is my lil Yorkie

She has a LARGE stone in her urinary tract. It is as big as a goose egg.
Normally it wouldn't be a problem with finances. But with my health and not being able to work as normal, and the day we found out about the stone, we had spent money to fix our vehicle that morning (which turned out to be a waste of a couple of hundred dollars!), then when my husband was putting the trash out Lil Bit ran out of the house after him and under the wheels of a car. We had to take her to the emergency vet and on the way there the engine blew on the vehicle. I got her to the Emergency vet where they treated her ($368) and they did some exrays which showed the stone. She is OK from being under the wheels of the car - it was her legs that were trapped, but appears that she just had cuts.
The cost to repair our van (1999 Olds Silhouette) was more than twice what the value was and we were told it was better to junk it and get another vehicle.
So, everything hit us at once. The surgery cost is high, and the vet doesnt take payments (I called other vets in the area and they all have the same policy, payment is due at the time of service.

I appreciate Brenda trying to help me this way, I had no idea she was going to do this for me.

Please help Sylvia see how valuable she is to us!!!

Sylvia is the mother of all notaries on this board. I appreciate what she has done for me and her never-ending patience and dilligence to other notaries. Running an article on this was the least I could do.

Sylvia had no idea she was going to show up in my newsletter. We had talked about finding an organization who would assist but my research is not showing up anything.

All of us who have been reading this board and who have been in signing the last three years (since I began) should not hesitate to help such a generous person through a rough spot.

Sylvia's been sick, her signing availability has been prohibited, they had to go through a nightmare with her vehicle situation. Sylvia's NOT begging, but I am. I thank her for her assistance to our careers and I thank her for her bravery in trying to find a way to save her dog.
