Bad Publishers Are Everywhere - Here's An Honest One

Good morning! It's looking like another warm day, but hey... this is August! Instead of my usual drivel, I'd like to show you an email I got from a 'company' trying to solicit me. This is totally fake. Your first clue should be the email address she gives. A real company has a real company email.... Sign in to see full entry.

A Quick Note and a Note for "Just The Two of Us"

Good morning. It looks like the horrific heat is over. It will still get hot, but the days of 100+ degree days are over for now. This will allow me to get back on schedule... I hope! I have another check-up, so this will be short. I'm fine, but doctors can't afford to eat if they don't get you back... Sign in to see full entry.

And We'll Try It Again

Apparently, the power company has a problem somewhere nearby. We had power, and then we didn't. I was in the middle of making this post, and SNAP... the power went out. About ten minutes later, it was on again, so I came back here and had about 200 words, and SNAP... no power. About 45 minutes... Sign in to see full entry.

Me, Today... Part Two An Apology, A Shout Out, & A Joke?

I sat down to do this 45 minutes ago, and I'm just down getting to type. Over on FB, I'm getting a lot of birthday wishes (including one from Annie!) I see many people never acknowledge the words, and I don't want to be like that, so I've been dropping 'Thank you!' I'm trying to get to them all. By... Sign in to see full entry.

They're Keeping Me Busy! (& a Joke1)

Good afternoon. I meant to get in here much earlier, but between the stuff I did get posted and this entry, we had several people stop by. It's also my 72nd birthday, and that's kept me busy. It continues to be hot and muggy, so we go out in the morning and later evening, and I do some writing... Sign in to see full entry.

The Day Has Been Called Off Due to Heat Concerns... & Another Joke

Good morning. It seems people are 'on to me,' and they are calling me during my normal writing times. I've taken seven calls since I made my first post this morning. Gee whiz, it's a wonder I get anything done! The weather people are advising to stay low and slow today. The actual temperature may... Sign in to see full entry.

Running on Empty, Running Into The Sun, but I'm Running Behind & Joke

Good morning. I'm here early both because the dogs got me up earlier than normal and I have to be in Valdosta at 10:15. It's a 30-minute trip, but there is this odd little train crossing just west of I-75. There is a massive lumber yard there, and for some reason, the trains don't have enough space...

Hurricanes, Dogs, Breakfast, and Me & A Joke

Good morning. It's a balmy 82 degrees right now (at 9:50 am EST), heading to a mere 92 degrees. Not bad for August. It's the beginning of the 'hurricane season,' so we will begin to have rain, usually only briefly, nearly every day until early September. Thirty minutes after it rains, you can't tell...

Good morning. Today is gonna be a warm one, but not into the upper 90s like last week, thank goodness! Maybe 90, but with typical midsummer storms always popping up, things should be tolerable. The first storm with the capability of becoming a hurricane of the season is brewing in the Atlantic, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Back Story To A Story... and of course, A Joke

Good morning. I always check the Weather Channel page for our area first thing in the morning to get an idea of how to plan my day. If it's going to be blistering hot, I'll look to work in the morning and late afternoon. Today looks to be quite cool for Madison, with on and off rain, and a high of... Sign in to see full entry.
