Now I’m Having One of Those Days….

Hi Everyone….I’m having one of “those” days myself. Not as bad as Deb’s yesterday; I’m just running really late. We will have job leads today; it will just be a bit later than usual. I am sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience.

Moving On: When Blogging No Longer Pays the Bills

I’ve been making it work for the most part, but it’s no secret these last few months haven’t been very profitable.
