Know I did not get permission to post this invitation. Thought it would good for all notaries to get a free membership! If I could remove I would. Thanks

Rules and Guidelines..{link above}

I. Advertising

1. Do not advertise your own products or services without prior approval. Most advertisements are not relevant to most users and are therefore wasted space.

2. Do not advertise competing websites, directly or indirectly, without prior approval. We spend thousands of dollars per month to advertise our service for your benefit. We would rather not be paying to advertise for the benefit of our competitors. This includes sites like 123 and goMobile

Website spelling errors

You might get more people to bite if you didn't have spelling errors on your website. It makes you look less than professional.

she did this on NR site as well...geez Ms. Thomas, enough

already!

We had to delete her profile. Also, the e-signing book she is selling, is crap. Both James and I read it and have agreed, that its full of inconsistencies...not a good buy at all!

Re: Looking for Notary Signing Agents

I don't like piling on, but danged if this doesn't seem to be one of those cases where you take a running jump and land feet-first with a thud.

Yeah, the website for this lady does, indeed, have a few glitches. If she hired an editor, she needs to either get a bit of her money back or insist that her editor hire an editor. But that's not the major problem.

destine/MO -- really Lewisa Thomas -- is one of those johnny-come-lately El Cheapo signing services marketing to all those notaries -- identified as "notary public's -- who got sealed up because the boss needed an in-house NP. She promises earning power of $50 an hour and "as much as $125 per trip."

Fancy that: As much as $125 per trip. And she chooses to tout that on what may be the website above all other websites in which signing agents strive to maintain a living wage for their profession.

I don't wish to see anyone blown away by ill-winds afflicting a new business venture. But in this case, I do hope that whatever breezes come her way gently nudge Ms Thomas into another profession where she will not do as much harm as her ilk have done to the profession I pursue. Promoting participation in quilting bees comes to mind. Or maybe detailing wheat combines before they are put up for sale on the used combine lot. Mounting expeditions to find Amelia Earhart, or BigFoot, or Atlantis.

Whatever. I just hope she inflicts her economics on some other group of working stiffs.

I beg your partent; you do not even know me! How dare you try an express your ill-gotten feelings against me. I was always taught if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all. Keep your garbage feelings to yourself Mr. Poet, as you know nothing about what you are even TRYING to speak on!

***I was always taught if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all.***

You probably would have been better served if they had tried to teach you spelling instead of manners; they don't seem to have done a very good job of either. You apparently think it okay to attack someone based on their age, and that's about as socially acceptable as attacking someone based on their race, sex or ethnicity.

I do appreciate your acknowledgment of my lyrical pretensions, though. I only wish that some publishers through the years had been equally discerning.

Lewisa, I got a bit snarky in that last post

Maybe it's because the old rheumatiz is kicking up today, or I'm trying to believe that those readings mean my blood pressure monitor is broken when I know it isn't, or I'm just tired of sticking myself for the glucose meter and then the Novalog and then the Lantus, or my COPD (Clammy Olde Phartz Disease) keeps me from chasing skirts younger than 80, or there's a heiffer wanting company somewhere nearby and that heart valve made out of bull's tissue is feeling lonely, or...well, I'm sure you get the idea.

Your spelling is no worse than some others who post here. Mine's normally better than most, sure, but I've got a leg up: Most of my professional life I was a writer, and that's one of the tools of the trade, like your stamp is.

But you need to uderstand: When you advertise that you pay fees "up to $125," there are just lots and lots and lots of people on here to whom that isn't a ceiling. It isn't even a floor. And they -- at least I -- shudder at signing agencies that promote the mindset that a signing agent should consider himself/herself blessed by Providence to be paid $125 for a trip. That doesn't help us put dinner rolls on the table, instead of a loaf from the day-old bread store.

I could have said that without being so snide; I can avoid being snotty. I can't help being old and ugly. Gotta tell you, though, that being old, ugly <and> economically deprived is almost intolerable.

Incidentally, are there conclusions to be drawn from the fact that instead of a photo of yourself, you have used a cartoon character?

Actually, Hugh ....

You might consider updating your profile image to something more along the line of the foxy business-babe with her stilletos, sitting on the sexy, red car that destine/mo has got going on her profile. I know I've seen alot of similar images with shirtless guys packed in tight jeans leaning against some groovy car. This could be the new you!

Actually, I found this anonymous photo of this cute, young sexy girl with long blond silky hair, pink pouty lips and big brown eyes... I'm tempted to temporarily sub this in on my profile for a while and see if it increased my calls ....?

Shall we give it a try? At least the "Mouth from Missouri" won't call you old man anymore ...

And by the way, Hugh ....

Did I sense a tone of denigration in your post referencing quilting bees? As a quilter myself, I take offense. Quilting is a HUGE multimillion-dollar business. Every major venue in the United
States is the site for quilting shows, attracting tens of thousands of quilt-goers every year, spending gazillions of $$. The Amish quilt show is only one of a many traveling quilt exhibits staged in every major musuem in the country at one point or another ... Jennifer Chiaverini is the author of a series of quilt novels, two of which have been on the New York Times best seller list recently ... need I go on???

Quilters are far more organized and powerful than the average NPs, and since you directed your new pal from Missouri our way, I assure you we can patch a four-square over her big mouth in no time.

Rules to live by

1. Never jitterbug with a woman who outweighs you.

2. Never take an Asian chick to dinner if you don't know how to use chopsticks.

3. Never visit a hospital break room in a surgical gown if it entails crossing a gusty outside corridor.

4. Never reach to protect your boys from a Rottweiler if you're eating a hotdog.

5. Never lunch on pintos and cornbread before an evening wedding.

6. Never underestimate the creativeness of an ex-wife at humiliating you.

7. Never suggest to a new Baptist convert that a shower might work better.

8. Never open up a bag of confetti to inspect while standing under a ceiling fan.

9. Never microwave an egg.

10. And, above all, never ever tick off a woman holding a quilting needle.

Trust me, no disparagement intended.

(One Mom big ole' rural homestead, set up a nice big room for neighborhood kids after school; a wall of windows overlooked the forest across the river, and her husaband built cool tables for the different activities. The bus drops the kids off there, parents pick 'em kids on their way home from work. We signed on a Sunday afternoon, when she was "closed" - there were only two other neighbors working away.) The art was gobsmacking.
