Hello Carla,

I'm not sure that anyone can change a persons mind if they want to leave.  Sometimes it gets monotonous in here.  And the personal messages that aren't personal gets to be very annoying, but they are easily deleted...most of the time you can tell that it's an ad. 

Hi, Carla!
Thank you so much for the Invite! I am always glad to see your smiling face! It helps to cheer me up while I'm going through all this extreme pain and discomfort. I believe that, Honesty Is The Best Policy! There have been a lot of Stories going around Adland about different people. Everyone needs to be more thoughtful and take out a moment to help one another when in need of Love, Comfort, Support and Prayers! Mostly everyone, including yourself, Carla, are great people and they have a heart of Gold and reach out to those who need their help. I believe in you and all my dear Friends here at AdlandPro! It is difficult for a lot of us to keep in touch with one another because we have so many things going on in our Lives, we tend to forget our special Friends that are always at our side when we call them. Faith in one another is also extra important! We all need to Love One Another as The Good Lord Loves Us!!!!! I Love All Of You and God Bless All Of You!!!!
I would like to inform everyone that does not know about me, that, I had Tests done a few days ago and I got the Results back from my Doctor. It informed me that, I have Degenerating Changes in my Lumbar Spine and I also have a Benign Fibroid in my Uterus. Would all of you please say a special Prayer for me? Thank you so much!

Love,
Shirley Ruth Caron

"What can AdlandPro members do to help people stay longer?"  That is a loaded question.  When I first joined AdlandPro Community I thought it was the best thing that ever happened to the internet.  People were friendly, concerned about one another and were genuine friends.  If I or Shirley posted a forum people would come.  If they agreed with what we had to say, they would say so, if they didn't they would disagree with a logical reason why.  Gradually, friends got pushed aside.  It seems that after a certain period of time if you did not buy into their "Sure Fire way to make money" you were tossed aside like yesterday's garbage.  I posted a forum asking for people to help others to better understand our language so that they could participate in forums.  I had several people volunteer to translate.  The one thing that I did learn was not to ask your friends for help.  I love AdlandPro Community and my friends, however I have noticed a deep decline in friends, perhaps because I am not rich enough to keep paying monthly dues into programs that are not paying back.  Today is mine and Shirley's Anniversary  and to celebrate we just had a Frozen Pizza because I could not afford to take her out to eat.  AdlandPro Community has gotten to be a place where you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.  I joined a business outside of AdlandPro by going directly to the source and finding a representative near me.  In this way I felt that it would not hurt my friends in AdlandPro Communty, but I was wrong.  My friend was mad because that friend lost out on a commision by me going elswgere.  Therefore, when you have ten, twenty, or more friends approach you with the same offer, do you choose to go with one friend and risk hurting the others?, or do you pass up on the opportunity altogether? 
  I have a new web-site called Family Values Promotions at  http://countryvalues65.tripod.com 
Shirley has been invited to a poetry convention in Reno, Nevada on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of September.  I have asked for sponsors to get her there.  I have offered to waiver my $100.00 fee to poets, songwriters, vocalists and bands that would be willing to sponsor her in some way.  I offer free advertising for other members of AdlandPro Community willing to sponsor her.  Those that sponsored her for Nashville, those ads are still visible on my web-site and  when I first joined AdlandPro Community I put up at least fifty links to my friends web-sites and that web-ste has gotten over 10,000 views.  The Favorite links page alone has had a little over 10,000 views.  Therefore, for my friends that go back to the beginning, if you have had extra traffic on your web-site and don't know where that traffic came from, check out one of my web-sites. 
  A friend is a person that will do something for you without you having to ask, and a friend is a person that will not turn their back on you if you do not accept their offer of (Sign up FREE) {You'll pay plenty later}.  we are all individuals.  We do not want offers jammed down our throats (especially when all of our friends are offering us the same opportunity) and we don't like being ignored.  I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, and I'm not saying this to be rude or offensive, but it would be better to change the name from AdlandPro to "RoundRobin" because if you look at seven out of ten of your friends {signatures} you will find that they all are promoting the very same ventures.  We need to spread out a little more, support our friends more, and

TRUTH FIRST, business later.  There is a reason that I have that as my signature.   Here is the deal.  Go to  http://michaelcaron.tripod.com   http://lordofthebellyrings.tripod.com     http://strangeneighbors.tripod.com   and  http://countryvalues65.tripod.com     Check each page.  see if your business is being advertised on one of my sites.  If not, contact me.  It will be.  I may be rude at times and pushy, but I don't do it to hurt people.  I/ve been silent about who I have been promoting because I have not wanted to pat myself on the shoulders, however what i have tried to do is this.  I can't possibly join everyones venture, and if that is what it takes to keep a person as a friend, I pray that you think of what friendship means to you.  I just ask that you check to see what ventures are being offered and try not to duplicate it.  Conflict of interest is dividing our community so I would like to try to find a way to disolve that conflict.  Let's all vow to be Friends first and Take Care Of Business Later.  In this way, we can patch up the cracks in our community and blow away the Shrouds of Despair.
God Bless You

Mike

Hello Carla,
I agree with most everyone here there is nothing we can do to convince someone to stay here however we can suggest they take a short break & follow Angela's guidence & stop those messages for awhile. It does help we group the mind & gives you a fresh new start.
Take a break whoever you are.....
