Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Wow, a week has gone by and we are back at the bar for Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, and Linda has cooked up quite a challenge this week: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “’the last piece of mail you received.’ Talk about the subject of the last piece...

Several years ago, I wrote a marketing rant in which I admitted to having had fallen for the old 3-days only sale approach. I could write an entire post on marketing “techniques” I have fallen for over the years. It’s not my fault. I’m destined to make this mistake. I’m pretty sure if I sent... Continue Reading →
I’ll start today’s rant with the dumbest thing since Labor Day. No, I don’t mean to imply that Labor Day is a dumb thing – that’s a temporal reference – and yes, I’m using that term in an effort to make Mary think that I’m thinking of Star Trek, which I am. She probably won’t... Continue Reading →
It’s time for Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, and recent news sets up a bar rant that might work for this prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘dom.’ Use it as a word, or find a word that starts or ends with it. Have fun!” If we were having... Continue Reading →

Still, things happen that I jot down because “that would be a good way to start talking about…” Fortunately for the Editor, some of those not-ready-for-prime-time... Continue Reading →
I’ve had a draft kicking around in Trello (the project management program I keep my drafts in) since January 2015. I think it’s time I write this post and move the card into the “Published” column. The original idea came in response to Mattress Firm wrapping their Sunday ad around the comics. I hate when... Continue Reading →
When I posted about donations, I got a not-so-surprising number of comments about what made people mad about the organizations asking for money. The day after I published that post, I got an email that caused me to realize that it isn't just people asking for money. Communication today is a mess. Here are some... Continue Reading →
Lately, I’m beginning to think that some of the organizations we’ve made donations to have a problem with their memory. Don't get me wrong, they know who we are, where we live, our email addresses and our phone numbers. I’m pretty sure they know we’ve made a donation. However, our donations seem to be triggers...
