Hello You Fantabulous Fellow Human Beings (and Others Who May Be A work in progress!)
What a special week this is turning out to be for many finding time to enjoy the warm weather, the start of gardening and doing tick checks especially if wrestling with the bittersweet and weeds! That can be an analogy for figuring things out in general, trying to do more things that one has been putting off. So now it's 'Show Time!' Fill out those taxes, renew the SNAP forms if needed (and know that there's a month grace period to keep sending in updated paperwork or reactivate the 'closed case'.)
Check with local libraries and FB groups to find out if there is an agency or volunteers willing to help you do the basics. I hope to find out if people can be paid to help others with such paperwork (verifications or scanning and uploading documents) and all sorts of nitty gritty housekeeping (secretarial) tasks. I know some whiz bang folks who reitre and are happy to do simpler jobs but maybe they can think of training a few others.
In terms of the other fantabulous people I am cheering on, they come in all shapes and sizes and ways of showing up and sharing their ?s, ideas, answers and life experiences. Many have been on Clubhouse on the Apple forums (iphone especially) and there are details to learn which Womenswisdom.net may be able to walk you through on if you join them even for a 'first month free' and then for about 15/month.
Meanwhile Viktor Grant is working away with earthgrid.com and earthgrid.io is working on literally digging tunnels to provide the infrastructure for secure wiring for internet and more. Vik Grant is The Hatman. https://www.facebook.com/781065687/videos/877061086967377/ is a recent video he made for homework in a program he took with a renowned life coach (Tony R.)
I'm learning of the benefits Viktor Grant is working on earnestly with a few others to get EarthGrid.com updated and the new SearchTriggers feature functioning optimally. There are many benefits to using that feature for businesses and to understand rankings online for a monthly or annual use.
There is an option to get a link to become an affiliate so if I do sign up for it, I'll post that link soon (and why not join via me and then you also can benefit from others signing on.)
For people who are 'works in progress' what I am suggesting is if people are being mean or stuck in the war mentality, it's a drag on humanity and not fair to the many who have worked over many lifetimes to 'Be Here Now' in these amazing and critically important times on earth. We need to pull together and 'have important and fair conversations'.
Lots of developments for all of us to ponder and hope more can learn freely without a lot of pressure and worry. But things are changing for all of use when new technologies arise. It's a plus to have folks like Viktor working things through (and he's been around since before Google.) He shared that GPT flooded the market.
Many were on the AI (that's Artifical Intelligence) bandwagon and some started to call Chat GPT a form of AI. Earthgrid plus is an interface between human and machine with a lot of 'back and forth' to make writing and communicating easier. GPT (Generative Pre-Transformer) lacks common sense and so due diligence is needed by humans to keep things accurate and updated. Bots are not smart and can create problems (Who knew?) Go to the 'Add a search engine" and type in Earthgrid then :eg (the nickname) and then the actual site code.That's https://search.earthgrid.com/q=%s
The information that earthgrid provides will come from the former Chat GPT3 which Viktor was able to purchase. That was drawing information from books and many sources closer to the ground. The updated or current Chat GPT4 mainly uses wikipedia and news sources that also draw from more general places. The Earthgrid.com mission is to deliver information that is more 'local and accurate' and helpful to people in terms of the issues and topics as they have been discussed currently."The newest version of OpenAI's language model system, GPT-4, was officially launched on March 13, 2023 with a paid subscription allowing users access to the Chat GPT-4 tool."
Viktor suggests using Brave.com and then listing earthgrid.com as a search engine which one would add manually. There are more options to add 'searchtriggers" from that site or go to searchtriggers.com This could be the next cool thing. I may see if a local library in the NW CT area will get the half-off annual subscription and then more people could use it and see give it a test drive to improve well, everything business or curiousity search wise! (I just went ahead and signed up for Brave.com but am not so sure about the wallet and 'tipping' with some kind of coupons. Maybe do more research and I'll report back about how things are going.
Side note, skip if you want to 'talk shop' still without interruption and come back later for this:
I'll also review what dropbox.com offers since I have use of that for a few months. Be careful not to sign up for a year of something and really someone would make a mint making a 'we will doublecheck before any transaction is made whether online, on the phone or even in real life, just call or text, write or holler...Mind you, that doesn't exist yet but definitely could with a few strokes of the keys...and thanks if you'll keep me in the financial flow loop as you help people save money or at least not spend it on things they didn't want to or didn't have time and reassurance the directions and option to cancel or return was real and Shipping and Handling wasn't exorbitant.
Once a young girl was buing something and then at check out a 60 dollar 'fee was added'. It was heartbreaking and the first time I had seen someone buy something online. I should remember that and basically one needs to know it's a reputable company, call and do more due diligence (Double check things and research if someone else found it to be fraudulent...) Thankfully gift money was used to cover that fee so she didn't have to scrub floors. Back in the day money didn't come easy and went a bit further so think of ways to recycle and not need as much StufF...I just put some Easter baskets and backpack together for young kiddos with things from around the house. A couple of 'goodies' and boiled eggs they can color with bees wax crayons (and died with onion skins to have a yellow gold hue should do!) Now back to biz...
Back to biz...Earthgrid.com is free and a helpful way to see a lot of timely results.. SearchTrriggers.com has the half-off offer until May 1, 2023 at this time (whether for a month or a year, so why not have a friend get it for a month and try it out...and they make the year investment and become...an affiliate!) The model Viktor is aiming to promote puts more of the profit back with people instead of the companies per se (such as The Big G and even the Big bang, or Bing...and yahoo and so on.) Okay so on that note, I can work with a few others with my investment in socisnap so message me on FB on my pages, Livfully or Catherine Palmer Paton if you'd like to learn more after you check out the site and get a free trial to jazz up some ads or see what else it offers on the site. Let's get snappin'
