I have read some people’s blogs and been amazed by their thoughts and their insight. However, most “Blogs” should be called “Blahs” because they put the reader into an immediate catatonic stupor.
You may think that NBC stands for National Broadcasting Company but you are wrong. It may have started out that that way but now it stands for “Nothing But Commercials”.
When you watch programming on this network (and all other networks) you need to be prepared. The actual content of most of the programming is only about one minute for every three minutes of commercials. That means that for a one hour program you are actually...
In the past, someone would either hire (or get hired) because of education, experience and the noted accomplishments of the person.
Not anymore.
If a company or organization wants to be extremely successful, it must hire using different criteria. What is the number one reason to hire people who hold important positions within any organization?
Someone asked me the other day “Why do you think Dutchess has been able to live so long?”
I had to think about it since the average life span of a Labrador mix breed is nine to twelve years and she is seventeen now. That’s one-hundred and nineteen in “people” years!
Was it because she got so much exercise going on hikes with me? Was it because I fed her so well? Or could it be the fact that I didn't always have water for her and she had to develop survival instincts like drinking out of toilets?

I was just finishing a funny story. I don’t know what the story was about, but I ended it with something like “I’m not kidding, it happened exactly like that!”
Everyone in the booth laughed hysterically.
There was a woman sitting next to me. You know how dreams can be. She wasn’t recognizable and I still can’t get any kind of image of her in my mind. I didn’t know who she was or why she was sitting next to me...
Most Billboard designs are print ads that are supposed to be billboards. Using print ad design is absolutely the wrong approach for this particular media. Why? Because unlike print ads, billboards are not supposed to have all of the elements of a print ad: multi-word headline, a visual to go with the headline, a subhead, a phone number, a web address, a physical address, a logo, the name of the company and a theme line.
I’ve seen billboards with even more information like store hours, days open and more.
Picture this: Someone is driving 65 miles an hour, hopefully paying attention to the road, but probably thinking about something else or they’re talking on the phone or ...
