I don’t do this often, at least publicly, but pardon me for a moment while I have a mental moment. I can almost physically feel the “snapping” sensation in my mind right this second, so I’ll get it out in verbage rather than just go shoot something because well, hell, I’m out of  bullets at the moment.

Zephyra’s Story: Update 5/12/2012: I added a few pictures today to the Facebook album. They’re watermarked “Zephyra – Day Seven” so you’ll know which ones they are. They’re the last seven photos in the album.  Overall Zephyra is coming along very nicely. Many of her stitches are coming out on their own. Some others she’s [...]

Like so many other things I think will just disappear into obscurity, I’ve refrained from mentioning this because I assumed the powers-that-be would realize the ridiculousness of this argument and simply drop it. Apparently that’s not going to happen, so I’d like to speak up, and I think you all should too. In case you [...]

  It seems I’m destined to be in the news again, though this time hopefully the story will be more complete and less full of controversy and I’ll be in like-minded company… maybe. A few weeks ago a film crew and producers from ABC’s  20/20 came to visit; spending two and a half days to [...]

I feel like I’ve told this story a hundred times already. That’s because in reality I guess I have. I’ve been building wooden toy trains for a couple years now, based on the trains my grandparents made for me when I was a child. One day I started puttering around in the shop, looked up [...]

I’m posting this to see if there’s anyone out there that has come up with a work-around for this problem. Facebook, as per the norm, has been unresponsive to numerous bug requests, instead referring users to the same regurgitated page that has nothing to do with the problem. Problem: Can’t Adjust Privacy of Facebook Groups [...]

How to Sell…. anything. I’m writing this post as a response to something someone posted in a peer-group I’m a member of. I started to compose this as an email and decided halfway through to re-write it as a blog post and share it with you. Maybe you’ll find it of interest and maybe you [...]

As a small business owner, a person who loves to just “be” on the internet, an author, a partner in a new web-venture, and a remote managed services provider; life is busy. The more I do, the more I have to do to maintain it. Even deciding which blog to post this on was a [...]

This is my challenge to OMJ Stanly County! As a founding member of OMJ and a moderator of the largest OMJ group anywhere, I think WE can show the other counties across the state what it means to come together in a very small little way to help people who need it. Collectively we have [...]

Well, it’s been an interesting few weeks and I’ve had little time to myself to make any recent posts that weren’t motivated by some other factor besides just wanting to write, so I’m doing that this morning. Today is day one in the newest chapter of our lives up here in Stanly County. I got [...]
