I reserve the right to delete comments I feel are not in keeping with my values on this blog, which basically means, but is left solely to my discretion: no spam, no blatant advertisements, no hate, no inappropriate language. Agreeing with me is not a requirement, discussion is welcome.

Advertise Accurately, Please

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 [...]

C.E.R.T. – A Very Good Thing

Community Emergency Response Team – a good thing. I am still trying to figure out how I could work for a phone company, live in Florida, and listen to the news and NOT know about them until I moved to Washington state in 2004. . .  (NOTE: this is also published on [...]

A heart expands

to be as big as a person allows it, pure and simple fact. We have all seen evidence of it over the years, well, adults have anyway. A child’s heart just expands unnoticed it is so natural at that age, they don’t realize it is. In fact a heart can expand so much we [...]

Kiva, a good thing

If you haven’t already read or heard of it, check out this article on Kiva.org. It is a wonderful idea that is growing. I gave, only a little, for now, but that little will be passed on to other businesses as it is repaid… the program makes it easy to just keep reinvesting in [...]

Look how easy it is to be a part of sharing!

Stop! Are you thinking that to help Shelly get 6720 squares to have put together as afghans for the kids that attend Camp Sanguinity means you and your friends have to crochet or knit tons of squares, causing your fingers to go numb because of carpal tunnel, your children to be unfed, your husband to [...]

I follow and follow and follow and. . . .

Finally, my four more public blogs have had “no follow” removed, and the pathetic thing: it was a cinch once I remembered to copy the few words to remove and use my find key to find them quickly, duh.

Thanks to those that have mentioned it on their blogs and to these four in particular, because [...]

We rave – Andrea Bocelli and Elmo

Bridget posted a few words (heartwarming) about her daughter’s reaction to Andrea Bocelli and Elmo. Yes, you can watch the two interact. It is worth reading and watching. If you love it, too; if it brings tears or a warm fuzzy feeling, then delurk long enough to just thank her for finding [...]
