Wednesday, April 28, 2004Read Me! Read Me! Oh, And Comment Too!It's funny. So many of us lured to Blogit by the idea of getting paid to write. And we get here and blog a while, and we suddenly discover that we are writing, like crazy, but not getting paid much. I've earned only $82 in fourteen months....that averages out to $5.86 a month, or 20 cents a day....

But I find that I do the darnedest things, and if I can laugh at them, well, maybe you will too. I had never been to or participated in an auction a few years ago when the local PBS...

Even as a child, both while attending public schools and private, Christian schools, I hated the ridiculous garbage surrounding all the various holidays....

There's an online calculator that tells you how much such a tax would cost you. I find it interesting that my car, a 1984 Olds 88, is not even listed. The closest I could get was a 1990 Olds 88. Which gets about 22 mpg to my car's 16....

Due to budget restraints, we print all the donations in 7-point type with four columns to a page---and we have only three to four pages to fit them in. It's a...

And my seven-year-old says, "She's not ordinary!" I ask him why? And my five-year-old says, "Well, she's a lady." Then my seven-year-old says, "She's not just a lady...she's a...
