I love life, even when it bites me in the ass. I write humorously about laughing at ass-bites, ‘cause I get a lot of them. I’m writing a novel, do online auctions, occasional newspaper articles, and messages to amuse my friends. I have a lot of bad stuff happen to me, so there is a ready supply of subject matter – LOL! entertainment Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:03:48 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groupie Groupie: a person with an extraordinary fondness or affection for a particular person, group of people, notion, concept or idea. Can you dig it? Like wow! Far out, man! Groups! What a concept! Fans and followers, gathering together in peace, love and harmony.   A commune, a coming together, a mind meld! That’s so trippy, dude! education Wed, 04 Apr 2007 16:07:32 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/queenklutz This is a collection of essays about my misadventures. I write humorously about bad luck, being a klutz, cars that hate me, life, love and family. I've broken both ankles twice, amputated my right index finger and had it reattached. I've had the transmission fall out of a Dodge van while driving down the interstate. My teenage son wrecked my car, resulting in an E-Bay auction for the $2,000 French Fry, which caused the wreck. If I couldn't write about this stuff being funny, I'd be in a rubber room. Available as e-book and softcover.

At his gapingvoid blog, Hugh has this to say about himself: Besides publishing the cartoons, my main gig is as a marketing and blogging consultant for Stormhoek, a small South African vineyard, whose "hacker" approach to wine making is currently getting a lot of attention in the wine trade. I also do the marketing for a bespoke Savile Row tailoring firm, English Cut with Thomas Mahon, arguably one of the best half-dozen tailors in the world. I also have a small interest in an enterprise software company called Thingamy, whose chief architect is Sigurd Rinde. Stormhoek, Thingamy, and English Cut have all to do with what I call "The Global Microbrand", the area of business and marketing that interests me the most. Recently I have also been working as a professional blog consultant for the film, Hallam Foe, directed by my old friend, Dave Mackenzie, of Young Adam fame.   people Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:29:45 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/2ndchancebooks Hi!  I'm "Chance"!  The nice lady who lives with me sells new and used books, CD's, and DVD's. Chihuahua!  She’s got thousands of them – the place is “littered” with them! We go “dachshund” around for bargains to pass on to you all the time! It’s fun to “collar” great values for our customers! Most are 30%-80% off re-“tail” prices, and many are out of print or hard to “retrieve“. Money she earns from this site goes to rescue buddies of mine that don't have homes, to give them a "SECOND CHANCE"! (A tiny amount goes to buy me treats!) She is such a “cairn” person! There are several places you can “setter’ in and browse the selection. We've got some "dog-gone" good values! “Collie” your students and tell them about our textbook specials!   Tell you friends - let them know what a "shar-pei" shopper you are! shopping Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:55:16 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/tel-love-vision I LOVE televison!  I've been a TV junkie for 50 years!  I want to share my opinions, news and views about this magnificent medium! moviesandtv Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:40:00 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/wildaboutwilde One of the most quoted people in history, Oscar Wilde is a favorite of mine!

Liz discovers nothing she was certain of is true.  Her family was not the strong, loyal unit she thought she knew.  Both of her best friends have been hiding things from her.  A respected businessman may be involved in nefarious activities, and planning to destroy her business strategy.  Dirty politics, the CIA, and giant corporate interests could end her dreams and put her life and the lives of her friends and family in danger. Worst of all, her parents’ deaths may not have been an accident. Her beliefs will be assaulted even more when she has an encounter with a ghost, a mysterious Tarot reading, and discovers her father’s connections to the paranormal.   arts Fri, 31 Aug 2007 15:27:02 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/myfavoritethings..12days Hi!  My name is Marti.  If I had a fairy godmother that could grant me anything I wanted for Christmas, I would pick these things, and call the holiday, “Marti's Gift-mas” LOL shopping Mon, 11 Dec 2006 05:39:13 -0600
