Our Blog is a conglomeration of conversations which took place around the breakfast table in one or another Bettina Network home. We cover a wide range of topics.
As members of the Bettina Network Community send us information they would like disseminated to a large audience, or something happens which just strikes our fancy and we want to share it with all of you - it will go immediately to Bettina Network's Blog.
Bettina Network, inc. and some stock market and others interesting items!
We are moving fast with our “comeback”. As those who know “Bettina Network, inc.” you know the problems we have had over the years since 2008. That is the year we discovered three guys, who stayed with us on their way from the east to the west had the ugliness to take everything we had…
SAT Exam Re-Established by Harvard
WHY? Could it possibly be because a long established entry exam was doing its job of keeping minorities admitted to Harvard to a minumum?

Donald J. Trump – In Context
by: Marceline Donaldson Life is amazing. The older I get the more my life, my past history, delivers amazement to me. It has given me an exposure to people, power, things that today I realize does not ordinarily happen. We shield our children from those outside of the box in which our families have put…

Memories – Brought back by an Ice Farm
by: Marceline Donaldson Watching a television documentary this morning about ice farming in Maine brought back enormous and very emotional memories.

Donald Trump – Mafia, Sexual Abuser, Thief? Maybe the man is simply following what he was taught at his family’s knee?
