I was a panelist for Episode 2 of The Spew Podcast yesterday with moderator Missy Ward, Karen Garcia from GTO Management, Lisa Riolo and guest Brian Littleton from ShareASale.

Missy broke the ice by asking if any of us had seen Shoemoney’s post about GoGirl – the female urination device that allows girls to pee standing up!?  Although it didn’t sound like the other women would find it useful, me being a redneck would!  Trust me when I say you don’t want to know how many times I’m squatted in the ditch of tall weeds on a country road.

The discussion turned to the California Assembly Bill 178 that targets affiliate marketers and not in a good way.  I have to be honest that I haven’t followed the turmoil much since it hasn’t affecting me directly by living in Nebraska.  I was hoping the bigger states would resolve the issue before such legislation even hit Nebraska. C’mon Nebraska is eons behind other states – we still pee outside!  But Brian put me in my place, saying all affiliate marketers need to fight AB 178 and he tells us how we ALL can help. If you are unfamiliar with this proposed “Affiliate Sales Tax” then you should listen as they explain everything in layman terms. I learned a lot myself.

Since all of us women on the show work from home, we also talked about balancing time with kids.  And I just had to ask Bachelor Brian about his interview with VH1 about a matchmaker reality show.  Listen yourself over at Geekcast.fm.   After I shower for the day (I’ve been trying to shower before noon everyday….), I plan to listen myself to see how dim-witted I sound.

I received several free shirts while at Affiliate Summit in Vegas for my Free Shirt Friday posts. One of my favorites was this Bettie Page Embroidered Logo Black & Red Swingmaster Bowling Shirt I received during the Midnight Bowl-A-Rama at the Gold Coast Lanes from BowlingShirt.com!  We bowled after the ShareASale Under the Stars 80’s Party (my prom pic made the invitation), thus the reason for my high bangs, side ponytail, blue eyeshadow and Madonna gloves (thanks to Connie Berg for those - my daughter has been wearing them 24/7 since I arrived home). My web designer (aka my brother, Mike) received a Turquoise Hilton Encore Bowling Shirt.  Can you tell we had FUN?!

The BowlingShirt.com affiliate program is managed by GTO Management and housed at ShareASale.  Shown above is Joel & Karen Garcia (such a cool couple) from GTO with Josh from BowlingShirt.com.

Here’s the whole clan of bowlers clad in our new bowling shirts from BowlingShirt.com!  We ended up bowling again two nights later where I doubled my score (wasn’t hard when I didn’t even break 100 the first time)! Thanks for the bowling shirt, BowlingShirt.com!  Kind of makes me want to be on a bowling league just to order a personalized bowling shirt!

Today’s Free Shirt is courtesy of C28.com.

C28 is the leader in Christian-themed apparel and accessories for youth and young adults. C28 combines a Christian mall store chain and website, offering an alternative to the mainstream mall stores. The Christian clothing, music, jewelry and accessories reflect a bold and positive Christian lifestyle and are intended to serve as conversation starters to enable sharing of Faith.

I’ll proudly wear this shirt as 1) I’m a Christian (Lutheran to be exact), and 2) this now classifies me as a “young adult”. This particular shirt is their NOTW Pray For Our Troops Shirt. So, that brings me to 3) I also support our troops.

“Pray for our troops” reads across a ribbon that’s tied around the NOTW logo. Hidden in the stripes of the flag is the scripture: “For the Lord your God is the One who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deut 20:4. “Jesus” is found at the end of the ribbon showing it’s only through Him we can even pray. It is by Jesus dying for us that we have victory “By His stripes we are healed”. Isaiah 53:5

Cool, eh? The C28 Christian Apparel affiliate program is housed at Avantlink and is managed by GTO Management – Wade Tonkin and Karen Garcia are great affiliate managers!  They are also big sponsors of the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association (CAMA).  I attended the CAMA Cruise in Boston and besides good fellowship, I gained a new Twitter avatar (right) from it (better than my manga).  And if you aren’t following me on Twitter yet, well, you better have a good excuse.

Now I have that “And they’ll know we are Christians by our love” song stuck in my head.  Believe it not, that is the only song I know how to play on my acoustic guitar. Reminds me attending church camp at Kamp Kaleo as a kid.

Thanks for the shirt guys!
