You Can’t Make Me Like You The only thing that doesn’t change about Facebook is that at least twice a year, they push through some pretty significant changes. Whether those changes affect the public user or the business user is usually the only surprise. The next round of changes to the business pages of Facebook will go into effect on November…
Protecting Your Family’s Vision Never Looked So Good! Disclosure – I was compensated with a pair of cool, trendy, designer sunglasses for writing this post for VSP. Maybe even the same sunglasses you could win just by entering below!! All stories and opinions are still my own. But you already knew that! Other than our oldest, every person in our…
I’m on a podcast tonight called The Bean Cast (I’ll write more about that later) and in prepping for it, I was reminded of two insane occurrences that happened in the ad and retail world this past week that are different but exactly the same in some ways. I’m speaking of Walmart and Victoria’s Secret and their perception of body images,…
It’s National Blog Posting Month!! It’s November 1st. Most of us are sitting here in a sugar-crashed coma from either too much candy or too much booze from last night’s festivities of Halloween. If you live in NC, you’re lucky and thanks to the rainy, cold front that’s crept in last night, you’ll be able to use that as an…
If you know me, you know I can’t participate in Wordless Wednesday 100% effectively. I always have to add words. I found this at my mom’s house last week: It’s a compact mirror from the Up-and-Coming Airline – Piedmont Airlines which as most of us know is long-gone. Remember when airlines actually went the extra mile and gave things like…
For Sale: 1968 slightly worn out yet still in good condition Mom. Filter doesn’t always work, exhaust blows smoke (but only when needed), sometimes needs time to warm up to run effectively, edges are a little rough, horn is loud and can sound unexpectedly, but the radio is perfectly pitched. Windows are stuck halfway down, headlights are out of focus,…
I’m down to the eleventh hour – both literally and figuratively – for my Saturday post for NaBloPoMo. I have been playing catch up from this insane week that I had. The next time that I think of scheduling THREE events in one week, someone please stop me. So what do I put down here that will justify a legitimate…
The Presidential Debates were on last night in case you missed the armchair quarterbacking on Facebook this morning. Election time is never pretty around our house but we’ve managed to survive 4 elections together. Honest to God, I think we vote just to cancel each other out. That way – neither of us wins. Or loses, depending which way you look…
I love the theatre. My first (only) professional role was in the 5th grade at the Barn Dinner Theatre. I played Ngana, the daughter of Emile de Becque in South Pacific. to this day, I can sing every single word of every single song of that show. It was my DREAM to play Nellie Forbush at some point but it…
I’m pretty much a “what you see is what you get” kind of person. I’m direct. I’m blunt. I’m honest. Over the years I like to think that I have developed some tact, but there are those who don’t see it that way. I grew up hearing that honesty is the best policy while being told that I had to…
