Ricky Potts Lady Takes Aim at Facebook and Blockbuster

With the advent of all of these social media tools like Twitter and Facebook, online privacy becomes a big issue. Some people stay off these tools all together in fear of sharing too much information with the World Wide Web. For instance, on Facebook, you can find my birthday, the school and year that I graduated from college, my girlfriend’s name, and even my job title, email address, and iChat screen name. This information is private and relates only to me fo… Continue

Greg Phelps Protesting a school

This week Carly’s high school is being picked by the members of a church because of a play they are staging. I’ll let you digest that one for a minute…a school of kids…will be picketed …by adults from a “faith” based organization. I’m all about faith. I should get that out in the open right now. I believe in the golden rule. I teach my kids to live with love and treat people they way they wish to be treated. Ask and ye shall receive – we live it, practice it, believe it. This group has a bee in… Continue

Karen Koziatek Casey Common Sales Sense

Have you ever finished a sales call and thought to yourself why did I forget to say that? OR If only I would have... If you have been in sales for any length of time I'm sure you have plenty of times. I know I have! The worst feeling though is when you finish a sales call and you know what you should have said or did but you didn't because you simply wimped out NOT because you just forgot. Consider how much wimping out is costing you and I am not only talking about money lost. Think of the time… Continue

Patric Welch I lose weight or you gain money

Two months ago, I wrote here on my blog that it was time to lose weight or lose money. I talked about a web site called Stickk.com and how it can be used to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to goals and commitments. As some of you may remember, I committed to losing 13 pounds in 9 weeks. For each of the 9 weeks, I had to weigh in and compare my weight against my goal weight for that week. If I missed my goal, my credit card would automatically be charged $10 (an amount of my cho… Continue

Patric Welch This time around, it's lose weight or lose money

I've struggled a lot over the past couple of years to lose some weight. I haven't always been this way. In fact, when my first child was born nearly 8 years ago, I weighed about 30 pounds less than I do now. I know, I keep thinking the same thing. What happened? I could write all kinds of excuses here but that's not what this blog post is about. This blog post is about finally putting my money where my mouth is. Literally. This time I'm "stickking" to it Enter the web site, Stickk, wh… Continue

Shawn Quick-Raflik Being Frugal Can Be Fun!

Sometimes a good idea can hit you over the head. Most of mine, wake me up in the middle of the night. I know some people have amazing dreams about far away destinations with a handsome stranger or a movie star. I dream about doing home improvements with my handsome Husband. Let me explain. We wanted to change the landscaping in the front yard, but, we didn't really want to purchase new shrubs or plants. So, in my dream we transplanted a box bush and hostas from the back yard and placed them in… Continue

Katy Shumar Mann I Love My Bank..er, Credit Union

My bank is pretty much amazing! They offer some great services and help all the time. Plus they have a bucket of DumDums ready for the taking at the counter. In fact, I’ve been in the car with my friend DD Momma and her kids and whenever we pass by a Forum Credit Union, her kids point and ask if they can all go get candy. It’s kinda cool when your kids WANT to go to the bank with mom. I remember my mom’s bank. They had free cold… Continue

Deanna Sipe Today's Leadership principal: AM I COMMUNICATING CLEARLY!

When I was in college studying art, we were told that we are more than 1/2 responsible for what viewers take away from our art. We are responsible for not only what we are trying to say but what the viewer thinks we said. In order to do that we spent a great deal of time in peer revie… Continue

NealTaflinger Neil Postman Always Rings Twice

I know this is, like, so last week, but Jon Stewart's face off with "Mad Money"'s Jim Cramer was of particular interest to me. For days Stewart took Cramer and CNBC to task over what he perceived to be media malfeasance, pumping up a market that was build on little more than pixie dust and gypsy tears. I recently finished reading "Amusing Ourselves to Death," Neil Postman's polemic on the death of typographic culture and the silliness of television culture, and one of his final points resonated… Continue

Jake Stiles SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

It is true…the government is giving away money - but only to what they consider first time home buyers. The qualifications are really pretty clear. Here’s the skinny: You have to be a first timer home buyer. What is a first time home buyer (you would think it’s pretty self explanatory…but it’s NOT!!!) A first time home buyer in the government’s eyes is someone who HAS NOT owned principal residence in the past 3 years or a home at all. That means you could’ve owned a in the past, own a vacation… Continue

Recently I read an article that included a revisit on "futurist" predictions from the early 1900's. Let me recap: Futurists in the early 1900s predicted that since the Industrial Revolution made possible the production of everything we needed at basically affordable prices. The article continued that by 1980 people would only have to work two hours a day since they would have everything they needed except for a few consumptive items like good. And get this.... The major issues of the day would b… Continue
