DOWN IN THE DOLDRUMS…..

Y esterday evening I went out with my son. I did not take a notebook with me, but I did buy a pad for him to do his drawings – if you can call them that. I figured it was cheaper to buy him a pad, rather than having him continue to deplete my copy paper. I ripped a few sheets off his pad and started... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS 'N THAT & A SHAMELESS PLUG...

I know someone who’s glad the weekend is here. It’s been raining all week, with more rains to come. I’m going off in a little while to meet my son’s engagement at the book club. I’m dying to come back home to do some writing. I have a few things I’ve been avoiding that have now become pressing. I... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT BABY'S NAME?

M y cousin had a baby last Thursday. She asked me to give her some names for boys that begin with J. I compiled a list and faxed it to her. We had a chuckle over the fact that the baby had arrived with no name to call it’s own. I remember that with her first son, she was scouting for names for... Sign in to see full entry.

LOOK BEFORE YOU PLANT YOUR FEET – ALWAYS!

T hose who read my blog in the writing section will remember me complaining about a review I did and the response I got. I didn’t like it. I thought the writer was ungrateful for making the comment he did. Anyway, he reviewed something I wrote and I almost lost my cool. He said I was a great... Sign in to see full entry.

MULTITASKING HELL

M ultitasking can make your life absolute hell if you don’t know what the heck you’re doing. It gets worse when you have the concentration power of a gnat. Unfortunately, I’m living testament to that. Here I am, digging through file after fine, unable to find the one that has a bunch of petty cash... Sign in to see full entry.

DO YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR BLOGIT PALS??

I f you currently don't, maybe you should – and I mean that in the nicest way possible…. I was returning some visits just now and the diversity of what I have seen, stirred my thoughts. Rhiannon (great story teller) made a useful suggestion to me regarding a story I posted. Then I went over to... Sign in to see full entry.

ADVANCE MARKETING

T his morning on my way to work I passed a furniture store that had an interesting display in the window. On the right side, behind the plate glass, stood a lighted Santa Claus and on the other side stood a small Christmas tree. Yikes! I love Christmas. What I don’t particularly like is how early...

EBAY EXPERTS STEP RIGHT UP!

I’ve been nosing around Ebay and want to know how it works. I have limited knowledge. There are shelves and shelves of books in my house. Apart from those, I have them lodging on top of furniture and in piles in every room, except for bathrooms and the kitchen. Some of them I’ve read, some I haven’t... Sign in to see full entry.

DO THEY REALLY WORK?

Thanks again to those of you who helped me out with those cheesy pick-up lines. I’ve since done a short write-up on datingsos.com. Those I haven’t used will come in handy later down the road. Special thanks to Strat who gave me quite a few of 'em. The Libertine posed an interesting question, which I... Sign in to see full entry.

RAIN, RAIN & MORE RAIN!

We’ve had rain every day since last week. We had to cancel the tournament as the golf course is saturated. It’s rained all day today and the rain in pouring down as I write. Wonderful weather for folks such as I who love rain. I’ve had time to do some writing and I’m not complaining about that... Sign in to see full entry.
