I made reference in a recent post as to how I'd paid some Internet marketers the same amount as I'd paid a surgeon. I mentioned that I thought it seemed kinda screwy that my surgeon got the same amount to cut me open as I'd paid for a couple of Internet marketing related products. I've wondered more about this and the more I wonder the more I begin to feel that it stinks. I'm not exactly sure what it stinks

To be able to bring something remarkable to the world, I believe we need to tap into our innate talents, those creative gifts that we're born with and that are unique only to us.

A life full of exercising true talents, things that come most naturally that we love to do, can bring enjoyment rather than a feeling

Have you read a few Twitter profiles, 'about me' pages on blogs, signatures on emails, Facebook bios (oh how the list could go on!), where someone refers to themselves as a social media expert or something to that effect?

Some bloggers have not allowed blog comments for eons...Seth being one example. Recently I've seen a number of bloggers announce suddenly that they're turning comments off on their blogs.

Cow Pat ~ (n) The digested residue of a herbivore excreted as a flat piece of dung. (Edit: Better known as bullshit) I don't think the road I've taken online over the past few years has been all that different to most others but I question whether my regret over it is typical. I've never been one to have regrets. I have a reasonably robust philosophical outlook - what's meant to be will be and in hindsight things always make sense. Well

It's the simple things in life that can make our days that little bit much easier, enjoyable and just plain fun. I love cool stuff especially when it's practical! Here's what I bought recently at Ikea...I made a special trip to go and get these as my current one was way overused! For only a few dollars, these nifty little brushes help me stay organised (dream come true
