Bring Back Dinner Parties And The June 14 2013 Blog Carnival Of Christian Family Information Exchange

Hello and welcome, thank you for reading! We at OLIN hope you and yours are having a fun, yet productive, summer. This week I came across something that I know you all will enjoy. Back, way, way back when I was in college we first began having, 'How To Host A Murder Mystery' dinner parties. We would all dress as our character, arrange to have cooks and servers and it usually lasted several hours. It was the prefect way to spend a Saturday night in my opinion! This week I was able to locate a company offering the 'host package' as one download pack for a more than reasonable price! Any of you who enjoy playing any of those, 'who done it' and/or Clue mystery type games will love this! I strongly recommend that you get this pack right away and begin planning your dinner party!

The pack I am recommending has everything need to host the most memorable dinner party ever. You start by assigning each of your guests a character. One really good extra that isn't in this pack, but it comes from our experience, is to also invite cooks and servers. Depending on how fancy your menu will be, the cooks will be responsible for either 'plating' the food or just finishing those last minute item's. Of course you can have your cooks actually cook the entire meal, it's your choice and the sky really is the limit. Just for information purposes, in college we once had a party that was cold cuts and chips! It's your party do as you wish. Why cooks and servers? You are just like everyone else in that you have friends who would love to watch you and your guest 'play' the game but wouldn't ever think about being a character. So we invented the need for cooks and server for these type of friends. Usually, these type of people love serving and so on almost as much as real servers and they can still follow along with the enjoyment of the game as they serve or cook. Depending on the type of party you have, you decide early on if there is to be alcohol or not. It's your party and your home. Again, back in college we had several of each and they all were just as enjoyable as the counterpart.

Because this package is one download you will have everything needed including the complete 'host guide' and 'character guides' along with 'character name tags'. These are important for their set the stage and tone. The host guide offers some good points be sure to read these. The host is the only person who knows all the details about what is going to happen. This guide will assist the host with moving the game along, when to switch to the next round, what is to be revealed each round and general conversation topics. Included with this is suggestions for meals and drinks. It’s your step-by-step guide to throwing an amazing dinner party! The host for this event (probably you) is key to making sure everything happens when it should. The host will also get into character and have fun with the rest of the group.

Lastly and probably the most important item is the, 'invitation template' that comes with the package. At least a week before the event, you will send out invitations via email to everyone attending as a character, cook or server. It will include information about their character, what they should wear, and how to act. All you need to do is choose the person who would fit best with the character, and add the name on the 'invitation template' and send it off! Everything is now taken care of! Your amazing dinner party is all set and the fun is about to begin!

Now on to a more obscure but related subject. After last week's carnival I received emails stating that I was bring down the entire mood of the carnival with my personal revelations about my health.  I am not sure if I agree however I did promise those folks to liven things up a bit this week with the recommendation of this dinner party game pack. Yes, I too believe that it 'feels' as though there is a dark cloud hanging over our heads! With all the bad news there is little if any good news. So for a moment allow the fun to flow and your guest will thank you for straightening out their over all mood. Remember, most people do much better and achieve much higher when they are at ease and not worried or pre-occupied with negative thoughts. Help your family and friends to achieve more just because they had a evening of fun and laughter at your dinner party!

I believe it's time in America to bring back affordable dinner parties that are big on enjoyment and small on expense! You won't believe just how affordable this entire package is! I have seen these types of games in stores for way too high a price. When we put this together, keeping the price low for struggling families, was job one. Remember, you really don't need to have a big fancy meal that costs too much! Depending on your finances you decide how much to spend and don't go crazy, the food is not the source of the evening's fun, the character interplay is!

Lastly, please allow me to give you one more recommendation. Why not have a family dinner parties with the kids and all! It will truly brighten the over all mood around your home! Regardless of what type of party you will have, I already know it will be fun and something you'll be wanting to do every so often. At least it had that effect on us. Put to bed all of today's worries. Better yet, you Christians need to do as Jesus told us to: place your worries and cares on Him and let them be! When you give your worry and cares to Jesus happiness and good times MUST flow your way! So plan your party and enjoy the evening with close friends and family over a nice (but NOT expensive) dinner. Your family and friend will be thanking you for organizing such a fun time to put all cares and worries away for just the one night! Simply click on the graphic of this package above and you will be taken to the details page to answer any questions and to place an order. This comes to you as a one time payment for Instant Access download! As all OLIN information eproducts, this also comes with a full sixty (60) day guarantee, so if I am lying and this isn't any fun, you get back every cent you paid with no questions or hassles! Plus if the price drops any lower,(I don't see this going lower but I do see it going for a bit more) you get the difference refunded to you! AND... Order now and receive three (3) amazing, truly valuable bonuses! Seriously folks, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose except some crows-feet and upset stomachs! Isn't it time you had more fun into your home and life? Order now then!

What's On Your Resume'? And The June 07 2013 Blog Carnival Of Christian Family Information Exchange

Welcome and thank you for reading today! I hope you are enjoying your summer and hope you have plans to do anything fun with your family this summer. Experience shows that we don't have to spend thousands of dollars on fancy vacations,(nice if you can), just spending time together and learning about each member of your family is what it is all about. Now I know this next statement doesn't make me the most popular guy, but I must say it just the same. I also hope your graduating children plan on using the break to learn something different or to master a new skill to put on their resume's. Let's examine this a bit to help our fresh graduates out.

Remember, the reason to do this exercise is to truly enlighten and assist our new graduates. We parents are hoping that our children 'stand out' from the crowd when time comes for professional jobs, internships and first professional level jobs. Graduates, ask yourself to honestly answer the question, "what about me is better than, or stands out from the rest of the people who are the same age with the same education as I have"? If you answer, "not much" it's okay there is still time to change it for the better! Don't become down on yourself. Don't get depressed, get angry and fix the situation with something you can put on your resume' to stand out with. A second or third language is very much in demand these days. I have been offering language courses for years and only a select few take the time to learn another language beyond just a few words or sentences. It takes more these days to stand out. If everyone is getting a good American education, what's the difference between you and four or five hundred other eager fresh graduates just from your school? Hopefully you have listened to your parents and have mastered a skill or two for your resume'. If you haven't, it's time now before you have too many expenses that will take the emphasis soon. There are all kinds of programs, sped up language courses, professional internships and specialty courses. The problem isn't finding the right course for you, it's affording it now that you are paying your way and still finding the time to do it while working too many hours to just get by. I have tried and will continue to try and warn students that while Mom and Dad are still paying the bills, take advantage and put a few courses and aptitudes under your belt to stand out while trying to start your adult life. Now of course you need not take my warning, your parents recommendation or even your school's counselor's words. If minimum wage or there about is fine with you, then don't listen and just go to work! Work as many hours as you can, save as much money as you can and maybe doing things this hard way will somehow, someway work for you instead of the thousands of other students in your state without any stand out skills. AND NO, I AM NOT BEING FACETIOUS!

Sit down with your folks and write up a resume'. Detail every skill you have and any special abilities and aptitudes. Don't over-exaggerate or lie either. You are trying to help yourself and lying won't help you. Only put down skills and aptitudes that you can prove you took and successfully passed. It may take you a few days to write a resume' that's fine, when done hand your resume' to your parents and allow them to be the judge. Ask, "does my resume' stand out or am I just as qualified as six or eight thousand other fresh graduates in our state"? Why would someone pay you any money let alone minimum wage? Wait don't answer, now stop and make a quick budget. Where will all your money go each month? List it all out and if not sure of some category, ask your parents to estimate for you. Now how many hours at minimum wage will it take for you to pay everything on your budget PLUS income taxes, and health insurances? STOP! I already said don't get negative or down, I do mean that. This isn't an exercise to humiliate anyone! All I am trying to do is be honest and assist you in having a better than average life! It doesn't add up, I know! You are starting to get worried-right? Now just do one more exercise. Let's assume you are a very valuable young person with extra skills and abilities with average or above average grades-okay? If you impressed a business owner with your resume' and over-all professionalism and let's say you are now qualified to receive minimum wage plus five dollars extra per hour to start this new job! Now look at your budget, can you now make it with the extra income? Are you still a bit short? Either way, an extra five dollars more per hour, which isn't easy to achieve fresh out of school for ANYONE unless you are OVER-QUALIFIED with multiple skills and abilities the majority do not have WITH above average grades! If you spoke two or three languages fluently, were able to do advanced math without a calculator, were schooled into a special field or were a graduate of a specialty internship you MAY get the extra income. Before you get angry with me, please understand these are not my rules or recommendations! Seriously folks, this is real world, and I am trying to prepare you to exceed and live a better than average life. Usually, one must be valued slightly above the pay level they are given to start with. This is done to leave room for raises and year end bonuses.

Now that you have a better idea of how things work, ask yourself how and when are you going to start making the badly needed and impressive resume'? No one can make an impressive resume' overnight! Extra skills and aptitudes take time and extra effort for anyone undertaking them. My only recommendation is to begin today! Begin to really open up and talk with your parents and tell them where you want to be eventually. Together decide what extra skills will be needed or what extra aptitudes will assist you and get you to your goal, and sign-up for the first extra skill course/class today! A other good way to und3erstand what you will need is to look at many different job offering in your field and see what they are asking for. When you have finished one successfully move on to number two and so on. Once you have achieved three or more extra courses or concrete skills try to get an idea to see if what you are doing is working by sending your resume' out for some better than minimum wage jobs within your field. You never know, you might just get hired for that above minimum wage job in the process! Now, you could take courses for a lifetime, (and you should simply because those who do make MORE money than those who don't) but it's time to get minimum wage level job 'out of the way'! Why? Everyone starts at the bottom and two, put it on your resume' as more experience and professional training, that is now out of the way! If you were to do something like this, there are all kinds of ways to do this, get creative and get doing, you will succeed before the other fresh graduates! While they are working their third and four year of minimum wage jobs, you will have made a short-cut to the "better than minimum wage job of pay and benefits".

Now I haven't even mentioned the word 'college'! However, do you now see how college can help you to get to higher pay quicker? Mainly it's because you are adding to your resume' with extra skills and aptitudes. AND...That's what I have been informing you of how to do with or without formalize college level schooling. The 'secret' of this if there is one is that even the kids with just college level schooling get slightly higher than minimum wage! It's not schooling only, it's more about the skills and aptitudes that make the difference. Please take all of this and make yourself a 'killer' resume' and then ask for a higher paying job and you WILL get it! Listen to your parents and grand-parents, they love you and only want the very best for you. Together you can and will achieve everything you wish if you just have a plan and act upon the plan regularly! The only roadblock or barricade to the higher paying jobs is not money for extra courses, it's time! Use your time as wisely as possible because you never will have an abundant of time to be prepared. There are always ways of affording courses and schooling and I am sure you are aware of them and do not need me to point out the obvious. Always be informed! Listen to the news, read the daily papers of the area you wish to live and keep up with what is happening around you. As I write this to you the news is bragging that the government of the United States of America created one hundred and seventy six thousand (176,000) new jobs in May of 2013! I say big deal! Why? Because I am an Republican? NO, Because we nearly graduated twice that many high school and college graduates the very same month! PLUS they aren't saying if those were minimum wage level jobs or higher! Do you see what I was saying above with my numbers? I wasn't trying to frighten anyone, or skewing the numbers! I am just trying to prepare you to live a better than average life. Out of all of those new jobs what did those people have that made them stand out in their field?    The simple answer is the topic of this article!   May our God bless you and yours!

*Please allow me to say something very personal and important to me. I haven't said this before because I didn't want to incur emotions and so on. I say the following to inform but not incite. As many of you know, I am very ill with a condition similar to MS. I have been fighting a good battle for many years. Lately I am getting tired sooner and need more rest than before. I have begin to forget many things again. I also am getting tired of fighting this battle and wish to go and be with my heavenly Father, soon. Yes, I am not in wrenching pain all day long and yes, there are those who have been and therefore should go before me. I have been ready for awhile and will remain ready to go at a moments notice.  I think God has been listening to me and will send for me soon. It could just be a wishful hunch. I am attempting to find someone who will continue this business and these blog carnivals. However, not many want to work so very hard for so little at times. So, for now though, everything is as usual, however, if there ever comes a Friday that you don't hear of this blog carnival, it may be that I have gone home and one of you could pick up and continue if you wished. Like I said, I am just saying so incase God has been listening to me. Who knows I may still be too rough around the edges and will be here with you until I am more polished!*

Now here is your Blog Carnival of Christian Family Information Exchange for June 07 2013. Like I always say, please read this together with loved ones, there is a bunch of good information within.
