Another Unnecessary Death

Why is it necessary to use a real gun with blanks in a play, when sound effects can be done another way? Yes, the sound of a blank going off can be very effective, but in this day of digital recordings, are you going to tell me, as a parent, as a human being, that [...]

Pay On Time

It is bad enough that so many people get caught up in, “I’ll just pay it a week late”, even when they have the money. But to have a business owner not pay his or her employees on time, especially when they are a solvent business….

What happened to responsibility in finances?

Bail out?

Bail Out? Only if you are physically in a boat and it is sinking. Ok, perhaps, a couple of other situations might warrant it.  However, I feel the current bailout the government of America is working on, is not a good idea.

As much as individuals want to blame the lenders for their problems, it is [...]

Rules in Business

Exceptions to rules are fine – and make sense – when those exceptions are thought out with care. When you just allow them when convenient to you or when you don’t wish to take the time to think, or for favorites, you undermine not only your authority, but your esteem in your employee’s eyes.

Please, Train Your Employees

People, in general, wonder why so many businesses go out of business. I wonder why as many stay in business as they do.

Advertising is a great tool, but advertising incorrectly, with more license than necessary, just shoves your product or service into the trash heap for many of us. You may trick me once, but if I have done my research and/or the second time you attempt, you are only playing tricks on yourself.700 is not the [...]

At War With Self

Though peace is often a topic discussed, it often takes people like Mimi with projects like Peace Globes to cause us to sit down and really give more than a cursory thought, leave it to others who know best kind of attitude. Writing about peace last week and trying to bring back my work habits [...]

Dona Nobis Pacem – It is our responsibility

Yes, it is our responsibility to ourselves and the world to brainstorm ways to find peace – and then act on them.    My words I felt worth repeating are found by clicking on the globe.Mimi’s most recent post summarizing all her research this past month on wars is found here: Dona Nobis Pacem ~ A Revolution [...]

Peace Globe – It takes many

Mimi’s Peace Globes are flying… Many of us want peace – I would say all, but there are a few who prefer to stir things up in a negative way, hate driven? Self-loathing; a missing link to a thing one might label heart and kindness in their chemistry? I don’t know, but I know [...]

Toll roads affect lives…

… more than people realize!

Family: it is well known family time is important and working for a living to a point interferes with that process, but it is a necessary and for the most part good evil. There is much to be gained other than money by spending hours working “together”!

Those who can afford it [...]
