DAVID'S PLACE:

When attempting to sell low cost print advertising the salesperson should keep in mind a few guidelines to be followed. Always remember that persistence is the critical component when selling advertising space. Develop a canned formula for the aspects of your pitch that allow for it. Learn what to say in response to any question or challenge. Only training, experience and practice will succeed . 1- Make sure you are speaking to a person who has the authority to spend the advertising money.That is, if you are calling an auto dealership on the phone find out immediately whom the person is that makes the advertising decisions. That question should be asked to the person who picks up the phone. You need names . An operator or receptionist usually knows exactly who does what in the various departments of any business. It 's simple. Just ask "Who is the person who buys the advertising ?" Also, get the extension of the buyer. You will need it later. If you...

                                              Online Lovers Nightmare I saw this beautiful black haired woman on an online dating site. She was about 45, tall, and classy looking. Her profile said she lived in a fancy suburb outside Chicago, and that she was divorced and had no kids living at home. Perfect person for me, an inveterate professional online dating love junkie 55 years old, good looking, smooth talking and a great hustler of women.   I sent her an email on match.com which is the online site. She saw my profile and which showed my pictures, age, religion, income, likes and dislikes. All the stuff that is supposed to matter. It may to some. Pictures and not having kids living at home and a convenient location are the only things that mat...

I could tell you many stories about torrid affairs I have had in my 65 years. I am thinking about devoting an entire blog to the multitude of sexual experiences I have had with all kinds of women . But, that gets boring unless I feel someone is reading this blog. I need some encouragement or I will continue to think I am writing to myself. Where are all the responses? Anyone with a great story you want to tell and still remain anonymous? Feedback please so I don't have to go find a real job.                                                                                    ...

. I met Lola when I was 45 and she was 40 years old. She was a beautiful blond with an amazingly big rack. She looked like a Hollywood celebrity except in her heart she was just a nice, divorced, Jewish mommy looking for love. She had called a few weeks before soliciting me for business. She sold collection services and sounded great. I told her I probably wouldn't buy her services but maybe she should come in anyway because I wanted to meet her and I would listen to her pitch. I told her that maybe she might think of working for my well known newspaper.  I always tried to hire anyone who sounded good on the phone and was trying to sell me anything. So, I made gave her an invitation to drop in anytime she was in the neighborhood. I got a call  from my secretary Joan.one morning shortly thereafter waking me up. She said there was a woman at my office who said I invited to meet me. Joan said her name was Lola. I didn't even remember talking to her. I asked Julie h...

First time I lost my virginity was back in 1967 in a whorehouse in Peoria, IL.  I was with a bunch of guys on New Years Eve and we decided to drive up to this house of ill repute. I was really nervous. I was still a virgin.  My sexual experiences were mostly hand jobs from my trustworthy high school girl friend. I thought I was one of the only guys to not have done the real thing. So, we entered this prostitution house and I looked around at several available women all in negligees.They were just sitting around on display.  I saw an African American who was so hot with big tits and long legs. She kind of looked like Eartha Kitt. I pointed to her and she got up and she took me to a little room with a small bed. It did not smell good in that room but we did the deed after a little performance anxiety by me. I strutted out to my friends who were already finished with their ladies. I had a big smile on my face.We left and had some food and drinks celebrating our accomplis...

Gambling. One of the nastiest monsters of the world. Feed it and it eats your soul. Starve it and it destroys you mind. To a compulsive gambler the loss of gambling is good reason for perpetual mourning. Every ounce of desire in your body craves going back to gambling again. The adrenalin, the euphoria, the joy of knowing you will be in action is enough to inspire any gambler to gamble again no matter how much they have lost. I am not just talking about lost money. I am talking about lost health, family, friends. I am talking about losing your whole life. I have gambled for over 50 years and almost lost everything. In the last five years I have quit gambling and slowly rebuilt my life. Yet, I continue to long for my greatest friend and unconditional lover. Gambling. I was a very big gambler betting on sports, craps, blackjack. poker, and anything else I could wager on. I would win or lose thousands of dollars in one day. I figure out that I have lost w...

Can anyone comment on the outrageous price of a single Viagra tablet which now costs $36.00 at a CVS pharmacy?

I am totally frustrated with my blog. I cannot figure out how to build traffic. I have had thousands of visitors and only made three cents in December 2013. That is pathetic. I just finished reading about how to build blog traffic by #mashable and some other people. All very good ideas, I'm sure, if I knew what they were talking about. # Backlinks, hyperlinks, longtail, embedded links, seo, metatitles, and all the rest of that stuff  are all Chinese to me even though I have dedicated hundreds of hours to trying to figure out how to apply what I am reading. I want to write but want to have at least a few people read me. This is no fun. I never get any comments and I cannot even read my performance reports. I copy and paste each blog post to Twitter with a teaser that does bring a few people back to my blog. But, I have a virtual zero following. That means nobody likes it here. I have also added Google+ to confuse me further. Nobody is going there either. I think I am t...

I live in a beautiful studio apartment on the top floor of a fancy high rise in Chicago. I treasure my quiet, insulated space because I get freaked out so easily by noise, barking dogs, or any other disturbance that upsets my tranquility. It is caused by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that causes me to interpret any intrusion as a threat to my peace of mind. Therefore, if a neighbor makes noise by playing loud music or walking loudly on the floor above I am on guard. I feel I have to confront that person about the problem that I perceived. If that person turns out to be friendly and sympathetic and apologetic I would no longer care about the noise. I would get instant relief. If it was a person who acted angry or indifferent towards my complaint then I would start obsessing about confronting that person again and again intent on getting satisfaction.. This aspect of my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD ) has led to endless anxiety and many terribl...

 I started to write down the names of all the people who have bullied me, both physically and psychologically, in my life and I realize that I could write forever about those experiences. It all started when I was a very little boy. I was afraid to fight back when I was harassed and soon everyone had my number. Even though I was popular and a good athlete bullies would find me and pick up on my vulnerability. So, eventually at school, in the playground, at a party or the movies, anywhere at all, a bully would test me and see that I would not stand up for myself. So, besides the shame and disgrace I felt then I would have to constantly be fearful of being around that guy. Hyper vigilance and constant anxiety became the cornerstones of my existence. I am now 65 years old and things have not changed except the ages of the people who test me to see if I will become their victim. I can still be easily intimidated if a bully knows what to say or do to get in my head....

Re: Incident # 121204-033783 occurring in late December 2012. I believe Yahoo engaged in unfair business practices toward me. I used to write free lance for Yahoo Contributors Network https://contributor.yahoo.com  for several years until I was barred in 2012 from the site. I could not understand why. They refused to tell me the specific reason. I have lost money and the joy of being unable to publish on Yahoo. I did nothing wrong in my writing that I can even remotely figure out. I tried and tried to get an answer from their team but they refused to explain. I have now again renewed my efforts to be given an explanation. I will not stop persisting until a person from Yahoo or  someone on the Yahoo Contributor Team clarifies the cause of my being cancelled permanently from writing for them. It was the best free lance writing site I ever written for and I miss it. I believe they made a mistake and whoever terminated me did not want to take responsibility for. Please ...
