Dollar vs Euro

Photo Do you like US Dollars?

Everybody would laugh if I asked you about it even a year ago. Because a year ago people loved Dollars else. Today many of us in different countries don't like Dollars more.

If I do something and somebody pays me with dollars, PayPal gives me about a half of the sum in Euro. So, I work practically for coins. And I don't like it.

But if I want to pay phone calls to my American Phone-company, I pay a half sum in Euro. This means that my calls are very, extremely convenient for me. And I like it.

When I want to buy something in US, made in US from US stuff, it's very convenient for me, because I pay half a sum for it. And I like it.

They say, this year New York was full of European consumers. They bought everything they saw in incredible quantities. They loved Dollar, I think.

Many shops in US (they say) don't want Dollars more. They prefere Euro.

Forbes wrote that the most highly paid top-model, G.Bundhen (?), just a year wants to be paid only in Euro. And financier J. Rogers wants to sell his houses to buy ... yuans.

Do YOU like Dollars?

The Force of Traditional Mentality

I've seen an old woman on the bus-stop 2 days ago and thought about incredible health or force of traditional mentality in that generation.

The weather was not good that day. It was raining -not too hard, some drops, but you know it very good: you become all wet after 15 minutes with these "some drops". Than, it was cold too, not more than 7°C. All persons had waterproof jackets.

But the old lady had only just under knee long skirt, a cardigan, a kerchief on the shoulders and... knee-length socks. The only difference from traditional look was the colour of these clothes. They were brown, not black. The thing that impresses me more from all this look are those socks.

Bet you, I did everything possible different times to look under their skirts (of these women) to see if it's true. You will laugh, but I could not believe that a person, specially of this age, can go out in the street in winter with nacked legs. When I was a girl and we weared minis and tights, many of us were often ill for this reason. Our mothers did not know how to explain to us that we have to wear warm pants. Yes, it was Lithuania, not Italy, but 5-10°C is a good reason for an older person to wear something very warm, I think.

Some young girls were sitting on the bench but the old woman was standing in feet. And there were 2 enormous bags near her. This is an other thing I'm always surprized to see: the weights they take. Once I saw in a supermarket: a woman took a pack with 24 tomatoe-tins with one hand, posted it on her head without any effort and went to the pay desk. I had cardiac infarction when I saw it. ;)))

The great problem with busses is that they pass very rarely here, so you need often about one-two hours only to wait for it. And the old lady was surely for many time there.
What did she think in that time? Did she feel cold? Maybe not. Surely she had her family problems to think about. Not tradition. It's a thing that is not discussed. It's so because it's so.

About Keywords and Analyzing Programs or How to be The Very First in Google

Yesterday I submited one post in different sites and wanted to know how many persons read it during the day. In this way I remembered the analyzing program I use for my sites. I use Webmeter, but there are other different free programs. Sincerely, I proved some of them in the period I stay in internet and have own sites but was never completely satisfyed with them because noticed they have always errors. Webmeter was simply the last I proved and I was too lazy to change it.

So, what I wanted to tell you now... I opend the program and was surprised to see that in some cases I was in the first and even the first in Google search results.
This fact put me on the guard.
Is it possible that my simple and not very cured in SEO- and all other informatical senses blogs could take the first place between millions of big guys with big money and great crowds of servants?
Specially if I write about Rottweilers?
What is wrong here?

Imagin, all the merit goes to... my defective keyboard.
When I type it loses letters. And sometimes I don't see it. Or forget to control.
So I typed one of the words "Rottweiler" in a post (and there were different of them) in the wrong way -and it put my blog on the first place between illiterate writers.
And not finished here.
Because there was one illiterate searcher too (or maybe not one...).

Dear Friends, BE ILLITERATE to be The Very First in Search Engines!
