Today I’m doing something a little different. I’m crowdsourcing! As many of your already know over the weekend my husband and I went from a 2 cat household to a 3 cat household. We thought we knew how things could go, but nothing could have been further from the truth. Our eldest cat Hershey, who we expected to be very… Read more »
I have a lot of friends who sell a lot of things though direct sales/ multi-level marketing companies. Thankfully, most of them have learned that 15 social media posts a day doesn’t do anything but annoy people. Same thing with adding people to groups without their permission- not cool. But there are lots of other, sometimes more subtle ways… Read more »
No really, Just get over it. Because today is Get Over It Day. In 2001 Jeff Goldblatt, an entrepreneur from Atlanta, started the Rejection Hotline. This was a service that allowed people to break up with or say no to a date with someone via automated phone message. Ironically, this same man created Get Over It day in 2004… Read more »
When it comes to hugs there are 2 distinct camps. Some families are huggers and some aren’t. I grew up in a non-hugging family. There are a lot of people who find that hard to process. We’ve all seen the Facebook posts that claim we need “X” number og hugs a day to simply survive. Well, I’m here to tell… Read more »
We here in the USA are living in truly strange times. Our country is more divided that I can ever recall it being and we take all philosophical disagreement as direct insults to our honor. I’m old enough to remember when a Congress Critter who was willing and able to “go across the aisle” to get something done was celebrated…. Read more »
I admit it. I’m a hypocrite. Last week I wrote about the importance of NOT constantly arguing online and logging off when you need to. If you missed it (I was having publishing issues) you can read it here: http://beckypalmer.thecomputerguy.bz/2017/01/give-peace-a-chance-online/ Excellent advise, right? Too bad I didn’t follow it. In spite of my best intentions I did indeed insert myself… Read more »
If you are anything like me you are sick to death of anything and everything political. Seems like you can’t log in to any social media site without witnessing- if not actually getting into- an all out brawl. Even the simplest, most innocent observation can turn ugly in the blink of an eye. Why are we doing this to ourselves?… Read more »
Normally I spend a lot of time trying to come up with a clever/ punny/ funny title for my Monday posts. But I’ve decided that this topic too important to get cute. So, without further ado: #1 PP isn’t the only place that performs abortions, so defunding it to stop abortions is a false pretense right out of the gate…. Read more »
In January many of us like to make resolutions. Maybe we want to lose weight, get more organized, spend more time with family, or one of any other goals. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with wanting to improve yourself. We all should want to be the best version of ourselves. The problem with resolutions is that we tend to set… Read more »
Today is Festival of Sleep Day! This is quite possibly the best “wacky” holiday I have ever heard of! If you know anything about me, you know how much I love sleep. I have a sign in my cube that states my goals are “#1 Get Up, #2 Survive, #3 Go Back to Bed”. I list napping as a hobby…. Read more »
