    Marina,

    How about putting a few autographed ones on eBay and see what happens.
    I can’t buy one because I don’t have a credit card :cry: … but… if you put them on eBay, I could use my Paypal account to buy one. :smile:

    That “Click Here Order Now” graphic is very cleverly done. To me, it appears subliminally like a “McDonald’s” sign.
    Did anybody else get this impression? :arrow: :shock:

    I went through the steps and the Paypal link at the bottom just goes to a page suggesting that people get a Paypal account. I wrote an email to BandMerch to sort this out. :???:

  • http://18wheels.mevio.com/ Warren

    Burger and fries with the “shake”?
    I couldn’t help it.

  • http://18wheels.mevio.com/ Warren

    Hello Marina,
    I like the idea that Recycle-Logical-1 had- autograph pics, dvds, calenders posters anything and everything and it will be bought.
    Next it’s DVD sale time, right?
    OK, off to get a PayPal account or whatever it’s called. I noticed the blinking ad at the top of the HFW Banner earlier and I joined the club that’s selling the Calenders . I had something to do first and I just got back.
    Thank you Marina

    It also says that you cannot use PayPal to order the HFW calendar.
    What has PayPal got against you, Marina? Did you refuse to be their PLAYpal?

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    It’s a pre-order, so she knows how many to print, (I guess).

    ??? Would you like me to sign it too Capman911… actually I could send you a signed copy of my calander… don’t worry, no pictures of me, just cars & or western scenes… a few choices of styles.
    Have you ever been in a Firefighter calender, yourself?
    Most important, how did you know to order the calender??? before it was posted… Clairvoyance? (sorry for the wiki link) Isn’t “Clairvoyance” a cool sounding word, sounds kinda sweet, like it could be a woman’s name. Hope I’m in the “signed” catagory, ordered mine once I figured out how to pay.

  • http://www.laserradio.com wyo550

    Dear Teacher, I will order on December 5th (or sooner- whenever the calendar is finally available). I hope I will be one of the first 100 people who you notice here have TRIED to purchase it. But darling Marina, if you cannot sign my calendar, please PLEASE let your wicked SISTER sign it! It’s Halloween! And your staff! And your neighbors! I adore all of the people around you, Marina, who help you be the happy and free spirited creative who gives so much of her life to an audience of people like me. In the spirit of creativity, I’d like to share my most recent music video, which I think reflects the international quality and integrity of our Dear Teacher:
    http://www.laserradio.com/italyfinalonlineedit.wmv
    Ciao from Wyoming!

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    I saw when she first posted the add at the top of the page a day or two ago before she actually put out the post by the comments section. That was one time I was paying attention. I have never been in a calendar, the page wasn’t big enough, plus it would turn women off least I think it would. :lol: Clairvoyance would be a good word for Marina to do.

  • http://www.youtube.com/CheVolay Che Volay

    Auntie Clara Voyance with bad eye sight how ironic. :shock:

  • http://www.laserradio.com wyo550

    Marina, as for any “problems” people might be expressing with the purchase. After my previous entry I went back to the order form and then WAS able to get beyond the “create account” screens. After that, the “Checkout” went smoothly and I finished the transaction with credit card. People should know that PayPal doesn’t work. Hope your sister can sign my calendar, Marina. I know I can’t be one of the first 100 people because it takes the internet longer to get to Wyoming. That’s why we all drive such fast cars up here…to make up for the relativistic effects. Anyway, I’m happy to purchase your calendar and reward you a little for all your thousands of hours of hard work and your always happy smile (except when that wicked sister of yours is there!) Did I mention your sister? Mine’s now in California showing horses.
    :-) John

    no excusees

  • remedial wordsmith

    As a writer by trade, and someone who has been interested in word origins before Marina was in pig-tales (oh wait, she was in pig-tales just a few days ago), this calendar is a must for me. I ordered two, one for myself and a second as a holiday gift for a fellow writer. I can only hope and pray I snuck in under the autograph wire. Thank you, dear teacher.

  • fatbuffalo

    so will it arrive in Malaysia ?

  • dwaine

    I tried to purchase your calendar Marina. On the first page, a big Pay with Paypal box at the bottom. Great! Just how I want to pay! Enter all the order info, and THEN it says, Sorry, can’t purchase this item with Paypal. WHAT??? That’s really messed up!
    I hope you get hooked up with a better retail partner in the future Marina. Maybe I can get a calendar next year…. :cry:

    Maybe he meant, “Will it get censored?”

  • http://www.helloboquete.com checmark

    You certainly need a better retailer my dear! I was desperate to be in the first 100, but when you go to their site the only option is credit card. If you click on the PayPal icon all you get is promo info. Their FAQ section says you can pay with PayPal, but doesn’t tell you how, plus it also says you can’t use PayPal for preorder items. Most confusing!

  • http://www.helloboquete.com checmark

    What a dumb system they have! I sent them an email asking how I use PayPal, but got back a form email saying that if my email doesn’t relate to an order, they may not reply. Who designs these idiotic systems?

  • http://www.youtube.com/pedantickarl pedantickarl

    For those complaining about the PayPal confusion, the system presents you with a message as soon as you click on “ADD TO CART” and prior to clicking on “Checking Out”.
    The message reads:

    * Please note: Your shopping cart contains one or more items that cannot be paid for with PayPal.
    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    It seems clear to me.
    Marina, my shopping experience was satisfactory.

    Now, Twitter, now those people need massive technical writing talent. Somebody over there is all screwed up.

  • orion_ss1

    The ‘confusion’ over PayPal is that they advertise ‘Shop now using PayPal’ even though they don’t accept it ( ‘for all items; I didn’t put other items in my cart to see if any were available with PayPal – to me it doesn’t matter if the item I do want isn’t one of them ).

    If they advertise ‘Shop now using PayPal’ they should accept it. Telling you after you shop isn’t what I would call good business.

    In some states this kind of bait and switch is illegal. If they are that desparate to get your credit card # doesn’t it worry you that they may not be the most reputable company?

    I’m sure that many will get their calendars as advertised and with no problems but it makes me very suspicious.

    Caveat Emptor!

  • orion_ss1

    I just double checked; I used the ‘Click Here Order Now’ logo above and it took me to the site with the HFW Calendar and the ‘Shop now using PayPal’ is on the bottom of that page. No other items on that page, just the HFW calendar. THis IS misleading.

    This is not a good, ethical business practice.

  • orion_ss1

    Using the ‘Click Here Order Now’ logo above, it took me to the site with the HFW Calendar and the ‘Shop now using PayPal’ is on the bottom of that page. No other items on that page, just the HFW calendar. THis IS misleading. When they tell you AFTER you put items in your cart, this is bait and switch. I hope you get your calendars, but I do KNOW that if they had MY credit card information using bait and switch to get it I’d be as nervous as a Christian Scientist with appendicitus.

    Also, PayPal is expensive for a small vendor.
    You pay for the convenience, and they are horrible.

  • runawayscott

    I hope I get a signed copy. What special dates did you put into it?

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    I think they can’t use PayPal on a pre-order…. so once the calendars can be shipped (Dec. 5th) then I think PayPal kicks in. I’ll let you guys know more as soon as I find out more (Monday I hope).

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    orion_ss1, I think PayPal has rules in that you cannot pre-order something… and I think that’s why the PayPal doesn’t work. I will find out more on Monday. The company I am using is one of the most reputable merchandising companies in the world. They handle the OFFICIAL merchandise for bands like: Linkin Park, Pussycat Dolls, Alanis Morissette, Rihanna.. http://bandmerch.com/clients

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    checmark, sorry about the PayPal issue.. I’m looking into it.. but we may not be able sell with PayPal because the calendar doesn’t ship until the 5th of December.. they don’t allow pre-sales. I’ll let you know more as soon as I find out more.

    :smile:

  • orion_ss1

    I do understand what you are saying about pre-orders; but then that should have been stated at least as clearly as the ‘Shop now using PayPal’ icon. When something like this happens, a question I always ask myself is ‘is this the first time this kind of a problem has come up?’. And then you have to wonder ‘why didn’t they solve it before?’ If I was the only one having this problem I’d feel silly, but lots of folks were mislead and confused.

    It looks like this also means that PayPal shoppers will not be eligible for the autographs.

    Thank you for checking into the problem.

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    Of course PayPal shoppers will not be eligible for the autographs, since they can’t even order the calendar for Marina to autograph. :!:
    As far as making things clear to shoppers is concerned, if a dummie like me was able to see the notice that PayPal could not be used, even at the first reading, then anyone should have been able to see it.
    It all comes down to the maxim “RTFM” or more politely, READ the instructions.
    Maybe you’re just pissed that you’re not as smart as a dummie like me. :razz: :lol:

  • tryant

    I am *not* a paypal fan! Recently I paid My rent 2 months ahead,opted out of using paypal cause there was a choice,was charged for 2 “orders” even tho I did it with 1 payment(My fault on that cause I inserted “2″). I could have driven cash or check the 3 miles to the Landlord’s house! I told Him “I coulda driven a Harrier Jump-Jet there and back for less than the handling charges”, :lol: ,never again…Then He told Me that the paypal owner/exec is one of the top 20 richest in the world,,I see no need to make paypal richer when there are other ways and it is possible to give other reputable companies a chance to make some money,after all,We need smaller biz or the big biz just becomes more and more powerful/unfair. If I don’t trust an online pay site then I phone the payment in,,,or,,,I just don’t buy it.

    Watch out for the new ones,stay away from the big ones,report the bad ones,,,,,,make more *good/affordable* choices for Us Consumers that way. If We don’t “take the reigns” as consumers then We will end-up where the “horse” wants to go,not,at Our destination! And that,My Friends,is that.

    I *do not* like places that do not have a phone-in payment option. I admit I have used them,,I just don’t like it or do it often.

  • tryant

    Geeezzz Louise!! They get Your info,,,then,,,tell Ya it won’t work!! Now this next part is *theory only*,,but,,makes Ya wonder *WHO* is really selling/trading info to advertisers so they can target consumers eh?!?!

    Marina,set up a phone-in payment option,might cost Ya some profit,but,isn’t it best to make less and have more happy customers? Maybe You do have phone-in,I dunno,haven’t checked yet,just read the posts here! :smile:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/dezdkado Dezdkado

    LOL… a very good caption or warning for any HFW production.

  • orion_ss1

    RTFM = READ the instructions?

    I did read the page with the HFW calendar; I then re-read it and did not ( I still don’t ) see the ‘you can’t pay with PayPal’; but I still see the “Shop using PayPal now” icon.

    But you are right, I AM glad I’m not as smart as you are.

  • unitasguy

    Bravo Marina! Congratulations on your new calendar and I wish you even greater success in the future.

  • http://www.happyorcrappy.com brucec23

    I live by the philosophy on the tshirt I created. HappyorCrappy,The CHOICE is Yours. My choice in every moment I implement that way of living life is to be happy. I KNOW that either I am in the first one hundred and will receive an autographed copy of your calendar and if not in the top 100 you can make an exception for me (and those of us who care enough to sincerely ASK)

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    orion_ss1, the website where my calendar is for sale offers PayPal… but not yet on my Calendar. I don’t think they can change the entire website just for my one calendar. I pushed them to get my calendar out quickly, and I guess the PayPal button is a result of that haste. I hope to have it corrected by next week. I, of course, would like to be able to take PayPal as well.

  • http://www.youtube.com/annuddermale annuddermale

    i understand your suspicion, orion_ss1, and appreciate you trying to protect users who might not have thought out some of the implications…in this case i tend to believe the “Shop Now With Paypal” icon is a default icon placed by the website, not something Marina can control. much like the google ads that show up on her vids, and like other sites where advertising shows up on all pages…

    Marina has always been scruptiously honest, above reproach, and dang sweet to everyone on the site – even to the point of tolerating some who i would’ve tossed long ago…

    shoot, at one point i prolly would’ve tossed my own annudderbutt to the curb…

    Brilliant attitude, Bruce. Congratulations. :smile:

  • orion_ss1

    I agree it probably is something that Marina CAN’T control, but thats all the more reason to be careful with a new vendor.

    THe site has a problem. Even though there didn’t seem to be too much for sale, this probably is NOT the first time they’ve had a similar problem on the vendor’s site, and yet they haven’t had the motivation to fix it.

    The calendar is the only thing for sale on the page when you click on ‘Click Here Order Now’ above. No, its not Marina’s site, but its got her name on it. They ( presumably ) will be making money on it ( which I’m OK with ) but they should be operating a little more clearly.

    If I was the only one who thought this was a little suspect, it might be different.

    I too believe Marina is honest, but if the vendor site turns out to be a scam for ID theft with credit card numbers what will anyone be able to do then?

    I haven’t had many problems on eBay, but any difficulties I had when I used PayPal got resolved. When dealing with someone new, I’d prefer to use PayPal until I get comfortable.

    Caveat Emptor is not a slur, its advice to be cautious.

  • http://www.youtube.com/annuddermale annuddermale

    Hey!! I havent talked to you in a while!! I think i might buy one of your calendars! I was going to see if you would give all of your previous Teachers pets a free calendar though!! Since I was one of them and none of us actually got a prize. You should also bring the teachers pet back!! I loved that. You could start it up again and give the winner a calendar! I could be first! =) anyways i love you bye!!

  • bechamboy12

    i know it has 2 meanings(chair and also No. 2 *wink* e.g. stool sample) but i dont know which came first. can you help me?

  • pandion

    I got mine today. :smile:
    Very nice pictures.
    I am so looking forward to July.

  • megaflunky

    You still run your ad claiming we can get one signed if we order now, I have mine but it is unsigned, what up with that?

  • http://www.unicorncomics.com Tazman

    that’s what alot of us are asking. :?:

  • wetsuit5

    Bummer.

    Mine arrived.
    Unsigned.

    Boo Hoo!!

    I JUST GOT MY CALENDAR!!!! SWEEEET!!! :mrgreen:
    But I didn’t make the first 100 :sad:

  • http://twitter.com/captainjack63 CaptainJack

    There seems to be a problem with the signed calendars. Marina is looking into the issue and will come up with a solution. :grin:

  • runawayscott

    It’s really cool that she’s concerned enough to look into it, it might not even be amistake and the people who got the signed ones just haven’t said anything.

  • http://twitter.com/captainjack63 CaptainJack

    She is concerned about many things the problem comes about is finding time to deal with these problems. If you read her forum discussions, you will find what a typical day is like. Just to do one 3 minute lesson takes her a full day. That’s not including other personal project that she needs to complete. I’m a mazed how she can keep up. I bet she has more energy than a 5 year old toddler.

  • runawayscott

    I can’t imagine how she even gets to her emails.

  • http://twitter.com/captainjack63 CaptainJack

    Some days I can’t even keep up with my emails from the site so I know how hard it is for her. Most of her replies are just one line sentences. Some people get very upset about that but it’s a big time saver for her. :smile: I’m the LTA and she only gives me an occasional one line email so I see myself as very privileged to get a reply. Some people think she has a staff of email readers when actually its just her and Gorby. :shock: Gorby is the worst! He hasn’t replied to one email yet. :roll:

  • BillyB

    Hey, if you haven’t ordered a calender yet, let me know or Marina know… you can’t go without getting one. I’ll buy you one for Christmas, or pay the frieght for you. The fedex charge to ship to Canada was exactly the same price as the calender… so don’t wait too long, you deserve one… if you want one.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/misscupcake1 misscupcake

    hehe thats very sweet but i wont let you buy me one! or pay the freight! :oops:

    i will definately buy one later on. i already have a ‘forever friends’ calender on my wall to use as an actual calender, so i dont need the marina one for actual calender usage, or dates or anything. it would solely be for impersonation and perving purposes :mrgreen:

    PS i like how i can edit my comments now :D

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/misscupcake1 misscupcake

    currently, marina has just over 150,000 subscribers on youtube.
    i dont know how many active members there on this site, nor do i know of any other community based sites she uses, ie myspace, facebook etc. (i know she uses twitter but not how much)

    misscupcake1 has 3,500 subscribers on youtube. and some myspace friends. and a miniature amount of people to talk to vox.com (blog) and twitter.

    misscupcake already finds it hard to answer every email. i can physically open them all and read them all, but i cant physically answer them all because if i did, i wouldnt have time to feed my cat, go to the gym, frost cupcakes at work, or buy myself watermelon to feast upon.

    im amazed marina even knows who i am by name, let alone replies to my emails. it really frustrates me when someone gets upset with me when i cant answer their mail.
    i cant imagine how many people send messages to marina whinging about being ignored.

    marina is the best person on youtube that i have come across. you can rest assured i am not saying this because she will read it, because in truth she is not likely to read it because she has so much to do and cannot read every comment on every video.

    i think the people who disrespect marina in any way should be punished. like the guy that told marina off for posting my video i made for aLx, saying it was boring or something. i dont care if he likes my video or not, but the way he spoke to marina made me so angry. he spoke to her as though he had the right to tell her what to post on her own freakin website.

    he should take a long walk off a short bridge.
    and so should anyone else who disrespects marina because she works so hard and does so much, and never ever speaks badly to or about anyone. that is what i respect about her the most. no matter what someone says to her, she does not retaliate in a negative way.

    i cant help myself at times; some comments i get make me want to use my pilates knowledge to swiftly kick them somewhere they will hurt for a long time. but marina does not lower herself that way.

    /end speech on marina’s glory.

    PS im not saying anyone in this thread has abused marina. im just stating something in this thread because a couple of people seem concerned about their calender not being signed.

    PSS i had no smilies so here is an influx:
    :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :cool: :oops: :mrgreen:

    @misscupcake
    That’s a very pretty speech, MissCC, and I concur with all of what you said. :smile:

  • http://twitter.com/captainjack63 CaptainJack

    @Misscupcake, thanks for your input! :mrgreen: Nice to have other YouTube producers to verify that this is a common issue about replying to emails.

    That guy commenting about your video must have been a troll. Some people out there love to try to make everyones world into rubbish. :mad:

    I got my calendar today! Good job Marina! I’ll enjoy it all year long. :smile: …didn’t get a signed one. I could have sworn I would have. I mean, did you see who was the first comment on this post? :???: :smile:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/CantwrCymreig Evan Owen

    Milaya Marina,
    Forgive me if I’m being techno-challenged, but I cannot find anything about HFW T-shirts on this site! And I’m sure the potential demand is enormous! Even my ex-wife said so (she meant it, though maybe not kindly :sad:)

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/CantwrCymreig Evan Owen

    Other merchandising ideas:
    –HFW on DVD (of course) — lots of us would pay to watch Marina on the big screen TV instead of the computer.
    –A HFW workout DVD. Yeah, it’s obvious you’ve been exercising; lots of us would love to do a workout with you! (Even the couch potatos would love to sit and watch!) :smile:

  • mrm7374

    when you speak i jizz in my pants

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwO6kIdgVSU pagedoll

    I was wondering if you ever got to the bottom of who snaked all the signed calenders? I haven’t found any on ebay yet so thats good but I’m not done hunting!
    Just seems odd I haven’t seen one comment by someone whos got a signed copy. :???: Not even those who attend class on a daily basis.

    You smell that? Smells like…fish. :neutral:

  • iloveboobs

    There are some really creepy people commenting about Marina here and on YouTube. I think that they are just jealous because she is hot and successful. Back off you freaky fuckers. :evil:

    i orderd 3 calenders for christmas presents but the fedex guy couln’t find the place off the main road in a town with about 200 people so i had to cancle the credit card billing. Is there a way to get it send to the post office ?

  • spelcheck

    I got one . Not really

  • ekimflow

    lookin good as always :smile:

  • vernon olson

    Hey Marina,

    I just ordered your calender, I have a secured location for it.

    I also am going to email O’Reilly and tell him I saw you on his Friday rewind, you looked great again, I make sure Bill knows you are his connection to a younger audience which is what he seeks to stay ahead of MSNBC, he and FOX will pay dearly for that. I am doing my part for you Marina. Take Care! Merry Christmas! Thank You for your support of Christmas. Vernon Olson

  • vernon olson

    Chock full, as in full of many. Back in the day, the one room school house actually had a jar full of chock, it was a duty of one favorite student to keep it full every day. “Little Billy is the jar full of chock?” “Yes Misses, it is “chock full.”"

  • Chemikal

    That’s so cute!
    Happy New Year, MissCC! :D

  • pandion

    Question,
    According to my calender, Marina can’t sleep on a full moon.
    Why is that?

  • mello-g37

    May be shes like me on a full Moon
    Full of Energy and tranformation into a sexy werewolf ! :razz: :grin: :shock:

  • okay4now

    I don’t really want a calendar; I’d rather just have one date… :shock:

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ron-Olson/677740658 the terrible swede

    Hej, Marina!

    I just ordered three of your beautiful calendars: one for my brother-in-law, one for my best friend, and one for me.

  • fmfchief

    Hey Marina,

    Received your beautiful calendar and love it :razz:

    One little problem though…you’ll note that your calendar shows July 1st falling on a Monday; however, it should be a Wednesday…the entire month of July is wrong :sad:

    So, since you’ll have two days freed up when you move the 1st from Monday to Wednesday, I have a great idea – it’ll be a perfect time of year for some water sports; and, since I’ve got a couple of hovercrafts that we could run up and down the river on, why don’t you come Upstate and spend a couple days with me at the camp for a little fun in the sun on the water :mrgreen: Sound like a good idea to you? That would sure take care of the calendar problem for me…

    fmfchief

    PS: If that doesn’t work for you, give me a little something to chew on :grin:

  • jokerman

    Marina is the hottest thing that has happened to the English language! Thank you for your lessons, wit, originality, and talent! Keep up the good work!

  • jokerman

    What the heck is “chock”?

  • vernon olson

    OK, Chalk, Asshole, or A-hole for short, get a life jerk

  • jokerman

    Oh, you were making a joke in your post!

    I didn’t realize that, Vernon, and so I asked a simple light-hearted question.

    But why all the anger and name calling?

    It’s sad that to see a person so insecure and filled with rage. That will eat one up inside if not controlled, son. Best wishes to you.

  • vernon olson

    i previously thought i was replying to “CHOCK FULL” word lesson, guess i put it in the wrong place, so i am the a-hole and a jerk too. When i feel slighted i lash out, something i am working on, sorry for upsetting you and for my mistake.

  • jokerman

    Well, now, don’t start calling yourself names either. I’m sure you’re a really nice person, and anyone can have a bad moment.

    I’m glad to hear you’re working on it . . . welcome to the club!

    You didn’t upset me, all is well, and you should take pride in your being adult enough to take responsibility for your behavior!

    More of the world should act like you just did. Warm regards.

    We(most of us anyway) want a 2011 calender!!!
    I still have the signed copy I waited for at the end of the driveway for, for three days, in the rain, and no food or water. I got heat stroked and sunburned but its ok, I just didn’t want the postman touching it too much. ;-)
