Blogging: What I Like About You
I found the blogging network almost a month ago. Since then, I've played around with the options like adding pictures and links and found the overall design to be basic but effective. I like the home page and the ranking layout. I like the option to leave comments. What I don't like is the inability...

Recycle, Reuse, Donate
During a day of green recycling bins and garage sales, sometimes it is easy to forget there are other options. For example, you could spend days setting up a good garage sale to find a freak rainstorm keeps away your customers. Who has that kind of time to spend for little or no return? Sure, you...

Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth
I must be the most ungrateful person on earth. I have had several individuals volunteer to help me keep my website/ezine updated and running smoothly. Some of these individuals are more qualified to edit and publish than I am. I should feel truly blessed. Here is my dilemma. If I am to trust...

Insomnia
In the past six years, I have probably slept all night a handful of times. At first, it was exhausting, but now, I don't know what I would do without the extra two or three hours. During that time, I have now seen all the old Perry Mason episodes. I have caught up on twenty years worth of missed...

When Will the Future Be Today?
Star Trek has been teasing us with painless inoculations since the late 70's. When will this futuristic phenomenon become a reality? Today, the twins turned four months. To celebrate, they went to the doctor's for their next round of vaccinations. Listening to one baby scream in pain is enough to...

Exactly What is the Point?
Shawnee, Kansas approved a program that provides radar guns to residents. The local news reported the area to be monitored cannot be adequately patrolled by the police. In the meantime, drivers have been known to fly through the area at as much as twice the posted speed limit. It sounds like a good...

Writing Advice
It seems like everywhere I turn, I see a new article or book advising me on how to improve my writing. I am ashamed to admit to owning more than a dozen of such books. Published authors write most of them. My guess is they are published authors who can no longer come up with a good plot so they turn...
