Money Ideas/Investments and Writing Midas Touch Ideas post one from 2007 Amazon Purchases

51 orders placed in 2007

I Stella Carrier must preface sharing my Amazon purchases of 2007-2017  for money investment/money ideas/writing ideas and other uses by making it clear that me doing this has very little to do with my current food services job. The truth is that I am fully aware of how fortunate I am to have the job that I do at the University of Maryland College Park food service. My last day at work was May 17, 2017 and I am approved to return August 13, 2017. Many of my coworkers are actually easy to work with and I have fair managers. I admit that I am a temporary seasonal employee who realized more and more within the past two weeks that I would like a year round/more permanent job, and this indirectly influences some of my thoughts and behaviors at times. I have to preface this online activity because I have been getting too many well-meaning online communications in the form of help thinking that the way I am conducting myself has to do with how I feel about my coworkers. However, that is far from the case and I am actually aware that it is up to me in steering my career/job destiny towards having year round more permanent employment. I felt it necessary to preface this so that it is understood that how I am conducting myself online has more to do with wanting to improve my writing and communication skills while working on my year round employment goals which is actually separate and compartmentalized from my temporary/seasonal job.

At the time I placed this orders; My husband and I were living on the Mayport Naval Base in Mayport Florida through the U.S. Navy

Rusty’s Cheap And Yummy Kaleidoscope Pasta

Rusty’s Cheap And Yummy Kaleidoscope Pasta

My husband made a delicious pasta for our dinner using egg noodles that was both cheap and delicious. I did take at least one photo of the completed dish on my cell phone. I admit that I was guilty of posting the image multiple times on googleplus, but I now accept that the multiple images of the dish that Rusty made may not pop up in my googleplus until tomorrow or Thursday. Until then, the following listing is some of the ingredients that Rusty used to make the delicious dish. He is ok with me posting it and he even took at least one photo of the completed dinner on his cell phone as well. However, I prefer to let him sleep interruption-free  as he is sleeping and has to get up early for work tomorrow. However, here are some of the ingredients that I remember Rusty putting in to make the delicious pasta

At least 2/3 of a 12 ounce bag of egg yolk noodle pasta
About 4-5 pieces of cooked bacon
Butter or margarine to taste
Cut up green onions to taste
Fresh mozzarella to taste or shredded mozzarella to substitute
Some pieces of precooked chicken or cooked regular skinless and boneless chicken is ok
At least one small or medium tomato to taste

Boil and cook the water for the noodles. Once the noodles are cooked set aside somewhere in the kitchen in a separate bowl and obviously make sure to drain the water out of the pan but set the pan aside for cooking the ingredients in the following instructions.
Make sure the onions, precooked chicken, tomato and mozzarella are cut up on a cutting board
If the four pieces of bacon are not yet cooked set aside the onions, precooked chicken, and butter in the to allow it to sit there for a little on the cutting board. Then use the pan that cooked the spaghetti and allow to cook on low heat while you cut up the 4-5 pieces of bacon to add to the pan. Cook the cut-up bacon pieces to desired texture andor crispiness and make sure to drain the excess oil out of the spaghetti pan before setting the bacon on a separate bowl or plate to set aside.
Next step is to go ahead with combining the chicken, butter, onions, and bacon to cook inside the spaghetti pain for at least approximately 4-5 minutes on medium heat depending on your desired taste.

Once the chicken, butter, onions, and bacon are cooked to desired texture then add the cooked egg noodles. However, maintain the shape of the egg noodles by either using plastic tongs to stir inside the mixture or take a top that goes with the pan and shake all of the ingredients of the egg noodles, butter, onions, and bacon inside until they are mixed to desired satisfaction.
Finally, go ahead with putting in the chopped fresh mozzarella in the egg noodle, chicken, butter, bacon, and green onion mixture. Last, but not least, go ahead and finish with desired tomatoes, combine everything together and put in either a plate or bowl to serve.


Makes close to four noodle servings and allow up to approximately twenty minutes in case the bacon has to be cooked and the tomato, onions, and mozzarella have to be chopped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Pop Love Song and VocalsMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Slow Hands (MP3 Music)
I admit that I had unintentionally and accidentally came across this catchy pull you in type of song that is Slow Hands by Niall Horan. This pop love ballad seems to be simply about taking plenty of alone time with a person (romantically speaking). The singing and lyrics and the imagery comparison to laundry makes the song super steamy.

This review is from: I'm the One [Explicit] (MP3 Music)
This song I’m The One by DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Quavo and Chance the Rapper appears to be about enjoying love and having fun in life. The tone of the song is of a carefree and jubilant vibe mixed in with savoring the positive moments in life. This is another song where the music video and the song complement each other in a satisfactory way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Club SongMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bad Things (MP3 Music)
This enticing dance love song that is Bad Things by Machine Gun Kelly feat. Camila Cabello is a very daring song that appears to be about passionate and complicated love. The female vocals of the song lend a musical story to someone who admits to doing some outrageous/wild andor what is considered “bad things” in the name of love. However, the lyrics are painted in a way to where it appears that the two people in the music story that this song refers too are deeply in love with each other even when they may act in ways towards each other that do not always have direct answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exalting Type of KindlebookMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This kindlebook of The Smart Cookies' Guide to Making More Dough and Getting Out of Debt: How Five Young Women Got Smart, Formed a Money Group, and Took Control of Their Finances by The Smart Cookies and Jennifer Barrett gave me some helpful ideas on the type of income and lifestyle to keep in mind for getting close to achieving my money goals. One feature that I liked about this kindlebook is that the women truthfully shared the career paths that they are working in, including their income. This is helpful to me, even as a woman who has been on various after tax money income spectrums, and is a temporary/seasonal employee who is in the process of working on being a more permanent type of employee who makes after tax income year round. It is important to keep in mind because some of the success stories lean towards ambitious women who have had successful careers in public relations. I also like that they featured the story of a woman named Robyn who succeeded in her goal of getting a higher paying job as well as completing the educational goal she set out to do within 18 months of joining Smart Cookies. This is important to me because I have seen too many money/finance articles that imply that an older adult has to choose between one or the other (making more money in their career life andor going back to college/university for more education). It is good to see a success story where a person was able to both increase their income and successfully complete their educational objectives. One of the women featured in the story went on to become a marketing manager (Andrea) and another person landed a job as a PR manager (Sandra). I only wish that I had purchased this kindlebook sooner than I did.

Conversations with Nostradamus: Volume 1
Conversations with Nostradamus: Volume 1
Price: $7.99

1.0 out of 5 stars Just One Star BecauseMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This kindlebook of Conversations with Nostradamus: Volume 1by Dolores Cannon has a good premise. The premise of gathering various viewpoints to disseminate their communications through mediums coming from different backgrounds would also make for a good fiction novel andor movie/tv show. One thing that has me feeling as if the author may have been coming from a benevolent place but channeling in/filtering in their own creative subconscious/creative imagination; there is talk of Nostradamus seeing into the future via certain lights but nothing too different that could be written into a fiction story. To appeal to people who are medically curious, there is discussion of medical instruments that are used. I have an open mind when it comes to channeled material and I am aware that the author of this book probably truly felt that there was no chance that their own perception filter would come in. However, this kindlebook is more of a mix of possible probably and fictional account of channeled communications that might have happened rather than completely new age non-fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extensive Detail PackedMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I actually bought this kindlebook of Public Relations and Social Media for the Curious: Why Study Public Relations and Social Media? (A Decision-Making Guide to College Majors, Research & Scholarships, and Career Success) by the Curious Academic Publishing Group on May 28, 2016. However, the only difference was that I was still deciding for sure when and if I would go after this degree since this would be my second time going after a bachelor’s degree. I already have one completed bachelor’s degree, yet now I have my mind made up for sure when I intend to start and even how many online classes I can realistically afford per year with my current situation. This kindlebook has leadins to other sections a person could look at if they are 100% sure about studying public relations. One of the sections referenced in this kindlebook is So You Want to Be a Communication Major? Opportunities in the 21st Century by Teri Varner. This kindlebook references Edward Bernays as one of the early proponents of public relations. There is also a section of a reference list and suggested references such as the link for the website “Media and Communications” United States Department of Labor (Occupational Handbook). They discuss internships which comes in handy because I have actually spoke with at least two females at my current job before were one was going on to an internship (and one who did an internship before) but for whatever reason I never bothered to ask them about their experiences with them (though I know I should have). There is a feature on transmedia storytelling for brands. I find this helpful because I know for sure that I would like my minor to be related to some type of writing andor scripting component. Scholarships that are available for domestic and international students are also featured in this kindlebook with the mention of the University of Southern California.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mysticism of LoveMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Xanadu (Amazon Video)
Much to my pleasant surprise, I actually found Xanadu to be a pleasant film to watch. Xanadu features the story of muse Kira (Olivia Newton John who is also is known as Terpsichore) who captivates the attention of artist Sonny Malone (Michael Beck). Little does Sonny Malone know at first that Kira is actually one of the nine muses. All he knows is how he is drawn in to the love he feels for her. Sonny Malone also meets Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly) who becomes an important and positive influence in his life. Many may remember Gene Kelly from such movies as Anchors Away and Singin in the Rain. This film is a little bit of a creative mashup between the Grease movie that Olivia Newton John played in and Singin in the Rain, yet is works to original effect. Xanadu is perfect if you like musical type of movies with a mystical element.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things Andor People Can At Times Be Different Than They Appear To BeMay 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Down To Earth (Amazon Video)
Down to Earth is an extremely uplifting film that stars Rita Hayworth as a muse named Terpsichore who is very upset about being portrayed more sensual than she wants to be by Danny Miller (Larry Parks). Terpsichore schemes her way to be able to go back on earth to try to shape the play to her liking. Mr. Jordan (Roland Culver) approves of her request and a spirit assigned to help Terpsichore by the name of Messenger 7013 (Edward Everett Horton) was actually looking forward to vacationing when he was tasked to help on earth. However, the film creatively illustrates in a healing way, how sometimes we are not always in a certain place for ourselves but sometimes for others as well. Miller’s friend Eddie (Marc Platt) has a seemingly justified reasons for being distant towards Kitty Pendleton (muse Terpsichore). Additionally, Eddie does not know that Kitty Pendleton is more than how she appears on the outside and is around for another reason that she herself does not even know yet, so it is understandable why Eddie acts the way he does. However, little does Eddie know and even Kitty herself, that she is there for a reason way outside of why she thought she was allowed to be there to begin with. I understand that others going to see the film differently than I. However, what I took away from this cheery film is that a person is sometimes granted what they want through God, universe, heaven etc, but with some type of unexplained catch that they might not realize until later. Because Down to Earth is a sequel to Here Comes Mr. Jordan, there are people who may understandably recognize the Max Corkle (James Gleason) character in this film from the Here Comes Mr. Jordan film. My only caveat with the film’s message is that there seems to be an implication at first that a woman cannot be sensual and spiritual at the same time. Yes, I understand that the time period to the fictional movie explains why Terpsichore felt the way she did. It is just that I obviously believe that being spiritual and sensual can safely co-exist together.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Determined Woman?May 23, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
It is extremely personal and unexpected on how I came across this film One Touch of Venus. What I do feel comfortable saying is that this film is definitely more than I expected it to be beyond the description. The character of Eddie Hatch (Robert Walker) is a bumbling department store employee who is engaged to Glorida(Olga San Juan) who has both beauty and a heart of gold. Hatch also has a close friend Joe Grant (Richard Hames) who works with him at the same job and is a mutual friend to Ed and Molly. Ed’s boring but at least quiet/peaceful life is shaken up when he is tasked with getting ready the statue of Venus (Ava Gardner) for his boss Whitfield Savory (Tom Conway). When the Venus statue goes missing, Savory at first thinks that Ed must have purposely did it since he was responsible for the Venus statue. Savory’s assistant Molly Stewart (Eve Arden) tries to explain that she doubts Hatch would even think of stealing the statue because of his harm-free demeanor. Meanwhile, Hatch has to contend with the Venus statue (Ava Gardner) coming to life and entrancing him with her physical beauty. Most women would move on to another man andor another opportunity if they are unsure of their feelings being romantically reciprocated. However, Venus is undeterred when Ed Hatch tries to calmly explain about Gloria in his life. I must refrain from saying more for now, just only to say that it would definitely be interesting if the song Venus by Bananarama is included as the movie soundtrack if a modern remake of One Touch of Venus were to be made again.

This review is from: Lady (feat. Pitbull) (MP3 Music)
This song Lady (feat. Pitbull) by Austin Mahone is a steamy club and dance type of song. The music video for this song goes very well with it as the singer is shown with a group of friends going into a a place that is completely different from how it appears on the outside. For those still undecided, you might like this song if you enjoy Austin Mahone’s Mmm Yeah song (also featuring Pitbull) as the Lady song is in a similar party and buoyant type of vibe.

This review is from: Malibu (MP3 Music)
The song Malibu by Miley Cyrus appears to be a very joyful type of song that seems to be about how both Malibu andor being in love can change someone for the better (I’m just guessing the meaning). The music appears to have a cheerful summer type of pop feel that can still be played year round yet can also go as a summer anthem. I would have to say that those who like Miley Cyrus’s Adore song may enjoy Malibu as well because Malibu seems to be a joyful themed type of song as Adore is.
