Hostile or Nasty Feedback In Online Writing This is a Hub about re-thinking whether or not it's always the best policy to just ignore nasty remarks left on online writing (or sent in e.mails).

Can I Just Vent? (Of Course I Can...) I Hate Most of My Online Writing, Especially My Neglected Blogs!!

2011-03-15T01:57:00.000-07:00

OK. I had the best of intentions when I started posting my writing online, and particularly when I thought I'd organize the writing that eventually built up. The trouble has been, however, that writing online is a spare-time endeavor for me, and I only have so much spare time. As a result, a lot of the stuff I have online is either barely attended to, completely neglected, or otherwise just

Getting All Worked Up Over Nothing

Just A Follow-Up on the Great HP Service

2009-01-14T02:16:00.001-08:00

Hey - that keyboard they sent me is losing six letters, and I've only had it for a couple of months!! I have a dot left for the "s". There's no "n", "m", "l", or "k" - just to name a few of the characters that have disappeared.Yes, I type a lot. Yes, I clean a lot (but never use anything harsh on the keyboard). Still..... come on, HP.

It Happened Again!

2008-11-15T04:16:00.000-08:00

Remember my post of November 10 (about how I keep trying to keep my refrigerated/frozen groceries separate from the rest at the supermarket)? Well, last evening it happened again! It is not an exaggeration when I say that the cold stuff was divided up in a way that meant each of the "zillion" bags had at least one refrigerator/freezer item buried somewhere at the bottom of it. (Maybe someone

Supermarket Cashiers and "Sackers" - The "Conspiracy of Two" to Make Unpacking Groceries More of a Pain in the Neck than Necessary

2008-11-10T16:15:00.001-08:00

A supermarket cashier once remarked to me that I was the "only one" she knew who was as organized as I am when it comes to placing the groceries on the counter at the check-out. She was right - I am organized, and I will admit to possibly being a little more organized at this task than some would see as necessary (or mentally healthy). Nonetheless, I'm not hurting anybody with my organized

The Phone That Doesn't Speak To Its Own Service Provider

2008-11-05T19:00:00.000-08:00

A couple of years ago I bought a Pantech C300 phone as an extra cell phone. It's a super-cute phone that, when first introduced to the market, was priced around $200. When it showed up a couple of years after its introduction, at a much lower price, I couldn't resist it. I didn't use the phone much, so it took me until close to the warranty expiration date before I realized that losing calls

HP Customer Service Rocks!!

2008-10-29T22:45:00.001-07:00

Wow....Other than the amazing customer service offered my local grocery store, I don't think I've ever - in my life - had a customer experience like the one I just had with HP (Hewlett Packard). This post doesn't belong on this this particular blog, but I don't have a "good-customer-service" blog. Besides, it's kind of nice to write something positive.As I mentioned earlier, the process of

My Head Isn't Going To Explode - I'm Going To Have A Heart Attack Instead

2008-10-25T02:18:00.001-07:00

I am in absolute shock!My PC is about ten months old. About five months ago I noticed the "l" wearing off they keyboard, and a couple of months ago I saw the "i" and "." keys going as well. I, personally, don't think letters should be wearing off this soon; but I was planning to live with it (maybe).Recently, I started to notice the space bar "getting funny". Although I brush the keyboard

Dog Muck and Neighbors - What the Heck....?

2008-09-08T03:49:00.000-07:00

I like dogs (and cats), but I don't happen to have a dog right now. I have in the past, and when I did we dealt with his "muckies" in our own yard.I live on a street where all the houses are pretty well spaced, so they all have good sized yard. Some property goes more to the back of a house. Some houses have very big side lawns/yards - and that's mine. Anyone who lives on, or visits, my street,
