For nearly 4 years, I have been getting requests from other bloggers to read, comment, and "like" their blogs. I try to accommodate those bloggers. Sometimes, however, the request is not only difficult to grant, but also downright impossible to provide. Why? Because I can't understand anything written in the blog. Whatever translation program they use falls far short of relaying the message they are trying to convey. Sentences are so jumbled I feel as if I am trying to solve a puzzle with 1,000 pieces ...
Whether you are a corporation that wants to recognize employee achievements, a teacher who wants to recognize student performance, or a parent who wants to honor a child's accomplishments, consider awarding Able Trophies. You don't have to be to a corporation or an employer to give an award. Imagine setting up an award system for your children or even your blog readers. After assigning a number of tasks, and after those tasks are completed, reward your child, blog reader, or even your mom and dad on Mo...
On the first day of January, 2013, I received a message from Bloggers telling me I had a new follower for one of my other blogs. Her name was Granny Gee. Her small blurb on Bloggers, part of which appears below, had me nearly crying and I decided to check out her blog. "… the caller ID showed Tommy was calling! I answered it, my mind became confused as I realized it wasn't Tommy, but.. a strange man's voice saying, 'I have a man lying here on the beach, he's not breathing!'" Tommy was Granny Gee's so...
Looking for a truly unique gift this year? How about the gift of fudge. Oh, Fudgeis a website devoted only to fudge in all kinds of fudgy flavors. Like peanut butter fudge? It's there! How about cheese fudge? They can make it. As a matter of fact, what makes this fudge site so remarkable is that they will make whatever type of fudge you crave – within reason – alcohol across state borders would probably require a license, so they take precautions. Strawberry, raspberry, walnuts, pecans, CARAMEL (my fa...
Energy in all forms seems to be the ever-sustaining focus in our lives lately. We all crave more energy. We consume energy drinks, we use energy to light our homes, we exercise to increase our energy, and we pay exorbitant prices to use energy. How high is your electric bill? You don't have to spend half a week's pay to use electricity. You can use green energy to power your home or office at very little cost. Green energy is renewable energy, energy that will be around for our children and for our chi...

Marcia Kester Doyle started her Menopausal Mother blog the last Saturday of August, 2011, thirty years after she received her Creative Writing degree. Why the vast span of years? Marcia was raising children! Marcia states that she was a nervous wreck putting her work out for the world to read, so much so, in fact, that she had to calm her nerves with a glass of Pinot Grigio. She had published a lot of poetry but never had any luck publishing prose. The thought of writing nonfiction never entered her mi...
(SPACE HOLDER BLOG) Manufacturing is a costly enterprise, but for some manufacturers, who produce the exact items other manufacturers produce, the cost is prohibitive, while for others, those same products, manufactured in other parts of the world, are reasonably priced. What explains the difference? Wouldn't it be advantageous for the global economy if businesses engaged in fair trade? Recognizing that though we are divided into countries, we are all of one world would enable countries around the glo...

In May 2011, one of Southern California's industry leaders in the transportation and warehousing industry began operating out of its new Los Angeles facility.

Recently Best Yet upgraded its facilities to employ the latest technologies in an effort to meet their customers' needs "swiftly, securely and at the best value, h...
