:( so you are saying that it would be weak, stupid ,naive, and or a thief themselves? btw, did you blog your experience on saturday yet?

Posted by Tzippy on February 8, 2010 at 4:07 PM


Definitely. But I have a hard time believing sometimes that those that are in bed with the crooks don't know the nature of who they are dealing with on a day to day basis. NO ONE is that sneaky...they always give themselves away. So I would have to add 'weak' to that other partner's description.

Posted by Darson on February 8, 2010 at 2:53 PM


what about the victims that end up with partners who a thieves and in the end they rob their own partners as well.... rotten judge of character, or maybe too trusting and naiive, could that also be?

Posted by Tzippy on February 7, 2010 at 9:39 PM


I would say you could either safely assume they are also a thief, since birds of a feather seem to flock together, OR that they are a really rotten judge of character, regarding business partners.

Welcome to blogit. I am looking forward to reading your writing, as a matter of fact I am going to check it out right now. When you say if it really is as simple as it seems, what are you refering to being easy?

Posted by Tzippy on February 7, 2010 at 2:09 PM


Hi everyone, I've literally just joined up and put up my first blog, I'm wondering if it really is as simple as it seems??

Posted by blewsgirl31 on February 7, 2010 at 11:12 AM


Question for this week: If you work with someone and find out that their partner is a thief, can you safely assume that they are a thief and eventually will steal from you?

Darson: It looks like we have a celebrity in our hands here :)

Seminar I've been prepping for over the past three months is DONE. It went really, really well. I can't wait to share with you the things that happened there. Someone from long, long ago in my past was affected in a way I would have never imagined. The story continues...funny, I thought the last chapter would be wrapped up by about 3 pm today. Not so. Life is so wonderful and....kinda strange! THANK YOU for all of your prayers and good vibes. It HELPED!!!

Posted by Darson on February 6, 2010 at 4:41 PM


that was for darson

Posted by Tzippy on February 6, 2010 at 3:49 PM


we are anxiously waiting to hear how it went

Posted by Tzippy on February 6, 2010 at 3:14 PM


A request for a few good vibes and prayers sent my way for the upcoming seminar tomorrow morning (Saturday) around 10 am...I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks for all of your terrific support, Blogiters! I'm a very blessed person for it.

cpklapper: I totally agree, even if they would just run a special for 6 months allowing people to drop in it would open up the door to so much more than it is

Posted by Tzippy on February 5, 2010 at 7:24 PM


Thanks, Tzippy. I was thinking much less, like around $2/mo or maybe lower, to encourage readers to try us out. We don't have the reputation of an Atlantic Monthly or New Yorker magazine, at least not yet, so we cannot command much beyond their print subscription prices. Yes, Blogit has so much more, with easy access to what amounts to back issues, but these are treasures about which the general public is unaware and unlikely to become aware if their first impression is that it is overpriced.

Posted by cpklapper on February 5, 2010 at 6:05 PM


cpklapper, yes i think you are right, we would get many more readers if that were lower to be able to just read it should be half price since they will not be able to post.

Posted by Tzippy on February 5, 2010 at 3:58 PM


I posted a suggestion on my blog that Blogit offer read-only subscriptions. Bottom line is that $12.95 per month is a bit steep for people who only want to read and maybe comment on blogs.

Posted by cpklapper on February 5, 2010 at 1:35 PM


We are developing hit traps (name lists) again. Drat.

Posted by majroj on February 5, 2010 at 12:34 PM


darson: I will be looking for acts of kindness today. two days ago someone took off from work a bit early just to help me, that was because she felt she owed me, but it was still heart warming

Posted by Tzippy on February 5, 2010 at 10:10 AM


2philomena Do not change just because they said you should, because your style may be great for you, but not for them.

Posted by Tzippy on February 5, 2010 at 10:08 AM


In one of my writers groups in Glasgow I have been heavily criticized for having an archaic style which is not natural for the modern age. It has been advised that I should change it. What's your take on this?

Posted by 2Philomena on February 5, 2010 at 9:15 AM


Happy Happenstance to share...I saw an eighteen wheeler pulled over off to the side of the road, giving a jumpstart to a little Suzuki Samarai yesterday. Someone was stranded. With that trucker's busy schedule, I thought that was very decent of him. It pretty much warmed my heart, yesterday. Anyone else seeing random acts of kindness out there?

Posted by Darson on February 5, 2010 at 8:04 AM


Check out my new poem "Potterville" in my "Personal Poetry" blog!

Posted by cpklapper on February 5, 2010 at 6:11 AM


marjoj I am still trying to figure out why you need to donate anonymously

Posted by Tzippy on February 4, 2010 at 8:56 PM


There's a poem in there somewhere... check my space in a bit.

Posted by cpklapper on February 4, 2010 at 7:44 PM


The Jimmy Stewart character, George Bailey, explains how their money paid for another neighbor's house and as that neighbor repays the loan it goes towards yet another neighbor's house. The key is everybody knows who they are lending to and borrowing from so that it is all based on the trust among those who live with each other in the same town. The web, on the other hand, has an anonymity which is fine for freewheeling discussion among those who wouldn't run into each other the next day in the grocer's or barber's shop, but doesn't work at all for establishing trust or stemming abuses of that trust. Likewise with large national banks with absentee owners who care not a whit about your sick aunt and don't know the local shopkeepers from Adam.

Posted by cpklapper on February 4, 2010 at 7:42 PM


Banking works best when scoped to the local level. Congress and the political parties have some fool notion that everything has to be done through large private companies like the Federal Reserve and the private national banks. They would learn a lot about banking just by watching "It's a Wonderful Life" again, especially the bank run scene.

Posted by cpklapper on February 4, 2010 at 7:29 PM


Re donations: I have explored this through the Blogit folks and they don't really want to become a banking institution. I asked Paypal long ago and they said they could send dinero to other people's bank accounts, which is about equivalent to tucking small bills into their shirt pockets, just too personal. The alternative is to get people's US Mail addresses and mail them some moolah. If it is anonymous that circumvents begging and other backchannel agreements.

Posted by majroj on February 4, 2010 at 12:46 PM


lol below i have a typo i meant to type anonymous

Posted by Tzippy on February 4, 2010 at 7:35 AM


This is what I think of the past, I think its past, its gone, it will never return, just forget about it. Unless its something that brings you joy, of course Joy , you should never forget. :) If we got here from wherever we were, that means the journey was bearable and didnt kill us, so as I read this week from a very wise blogger, what doesnt kill you makes you better. So, if you are better now why go to where you were less, why not be grateful for what we have now. I found that when I want to dwell on the past I sit down and write all the things I can be grateful for, and that makes me forget the past and smile again.

Posted by Tzippy on February 3, 2010 at 9:09 PM


paypal donations majroj, sounds intriguing, why would you want to do it anoonymou? there must be something cooking up in your head, can you tell us about it?

Posted by Tzippy on February 3, 2010 at 9:06 PM


Hmmm majroj: concerning 30 minutes a day of thinking about our pasts, that is an interesting thought...I think that would be helpful to most of us. The past is to learn from. Also, PayPal donations from other bloggers? Can you elaborate?

Posted by Darson on February 3, 2010 at 6:38 PM


Not to change the subject, but what is folks' thinking about being able to send anonymous, directed Paypal donations of our Paypal money to other bloggers at the beginning of a month?

Posted by majroj on February 3, 2010 at 9:43 AM


Welcome back Gemmie. I think we shold limit ourselves daily to thirty minutes of unmanaged immersing ourselves in our personal, familial, tribal, clan or ethnic pasts.

Posted by majroj on February 3, 2010 at 9:42 AM


Tzippy, personally I can't forget my past or pretend it never happened, but what I have done is accepted it and let it go, forgiven others (but they don't know it) and forgiven myself. I have learned from it and have looked to the future and decided to make the most of everything...that is the biggest revenge I think, making something of yourself! only you can make yourself happy, and make things happen and only you can decide what to do with the past....think of this you can either, give up, give in, or give it all you got!! I know what one I chose... :~)

Posted by _Symphony_ on February 3, 2010 at 2:03 AM


I agree the past is important and I am glad its there, but now that its there, what do we do with it? Do we forget it? pretend it never happen? or what?

Posted by Tzippy on February 2, 2010 at 7:47 PM


Hey everyone, just wanted you to know I moved my blog to "journal"...no longer in self-help. Hope you all come and join in the fun with me there!

Posted by gemmie on February 2, 2010 at 1:09 PM


I thinks pasts are important to help us better understand and know ourselves, but dragging them into the present I can do without!

Posted by gemmie on February 2, 2010 at 1:04 PM


I think pasts are good. Everybody should have one. Ha!

Posted by Darson on February 2, 2010 at 7:06 AM


Tzippy - I think it is important because it shapes us into the person we are now or yet to become..

Posted by _Symphony_ on February 2, 2010 at 1:41 AM


thanks to everyone who's read me so far!

Posted by gemmie on February 2, 2010 at 1:41 AM


Hey everyone, I'm newly subscribed and back on blogit. Come check my rants and raves at self-help

Posted by gemmie on February 2, 2010 at 1:40 AM


It's only important if I'm learning from it, or if it can help others. If not, it can just sit, undisturbed...

Posted by Darson on February 1, 2010 at 7:51 PM


So, lets put our caps together and answer this one. How much of your past is importan, or is it important at all

Posted by Tzippy on February 1, 2010 at 7:37 PM


Tzippy, Thank you so much as well.....I am so glad to be back and to have "met" you and all the other nice people here...Thanks again. x

Posted by _Symphony_ on February 1, 2010 at 11:10 AM


ahhh Darson, Thank you ever so much, I really appreciate your comment x

Posted by _Symphony_ on February 1, 2010 at 11:08 AM


Symphony...you are my Hero of the Day. I loved reading your post, what a strong woman. Nice to see that, it truly is. You did the right thing.

Posted by Darson on February 1, 2010 at 8:15 AM


symphony: I am so glad you are here now! I know you had to really work hard for yourself and your kids and I am so happy to hear that you did make a difference. I am looking forward to hearing lots from you BC A have a safe trip, I will be taking that same trip very soon

Posted by Tzippy on February 1, 2010 at 6:36 AM


Maybe there is still hope when the liberal CNN is finally seeing what this administration actually stands for, check out the Nancy Peloci behavior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6_xgKWzhRw

Posted by Tzippy on February 1, 2010 at 6:35 AM


I have to go to work now. I’ll be back late tonight to answer your blog, answer your comments, and get some rest for tomorrow’s trip to New York. At your convenience I posted Monday to check. Thank you loves. BC-A, Bill’s Roost

Posted by BC-A on January 31, 2010 at 9:46 AM


it is great to be back here at blogit, I have been here far to long to just leave now....the only difference there is about me from 5 years ago - I am now very happy in every area of my life...and it was all down to me to change everything and I did for myself and for my children. <3
