Hello I got this link the other day, a freebie, just passing it on, it might come in handy. 😀 Type in a passion, hobby, or skill. In 30 seconds, see how big the audience is, and proof that people are already paying for it. https://idea.membershipworkshop.com/ Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

A man says to his friend, “I will tell you why human life is as it is: On the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.” The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?” God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.” The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?” Again, God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.” The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?” Once more, God agreed. On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.” But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?” “And God agreed,” the man continued... “Which is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. But then after that, for our next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. Then for our next ten years after that, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for our final ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.”

Oh goodness, I have to laugh! I'm not sure if the universe is giving me signs to stop or what, yes another bout in the hospital, my brother found me on my bedroom floor after 3 days unconscious. 100% totally clear tox screen, hospital again, then back surgery, then a car accident (I wasn't driving) and dad had a heart attack..........I can't make this stuff up! Maybe instead of the book "The perils of Pauline" it should just be: 1) Laura’s Perils, Purpose, and Power, OR 2) The Trials and Triumphs of Laura OR 3) Laura’s Life Unscripted OR 4) Laura’s Story: Still Standing...Quick vote? Somewhere there has to be some money made in this rodeo of Life!!!

We’re excited to introduce GPT‑5.5, our smartest and most intuitive to use model yet, and the next step toward a new way of getting work done on a computer. GPT-5.5 is now available in the API, Codex, and ChatGPT. GPT‑5.5 understands what you’re trying to do faster and can carry more of the work itself. It also uses significantly fewer tokens to complete the same tasks, making it more efficient as well as more capable. To get the most out of GPT-5.5 in the API, check out our API prompt guide and migration guide, or use the command: [$openai-docs migrate this project to gpt-5.5] to kick off a plan to migrate your API integration via Codex.

Perhaps inspirational to some of you peeps out there
