BUT NO NO advertising.... I dont' even list that I am a Pampered Chef consutlant...just a PC consultant!

I agree. That's ok. In the end, those who do things the right way will be rewarded greatly. :D
 
does she know that she is breaking the rules? I didn't know and I changed and deleted the stuff that I had on my myspace.
 
I did the same thing..... the only thing that is left is my photos... and that isn't advertising at all.
