I like lists. Maybe one day I’ll slow down and not make lists (hard to imagine). For now I’m organized, to the point and efficient. (Friends also know I’m spontaneous, fun, animal loving, and quirky – but more on that later). So, when I stumbled across 12Most – I was hooked. It’s a great collection of helpful lists! Some super-funny lists are there too. Can’t beat that combination: Helpful and super-funny. OK, there are certainly other ways to describe it, but I’ll let you take a gander for yourself. 12 Most> I think it’s simply a collection of THE BEST lists on the web. Their collection of blogs consists of: Business, Media and Lifestyle. The posts are intended to be an interesting diversion and inspire...

In short, NMX Day 1 – or New Media Expo in Las Vegas was 1 fabulous! If you are not familiar, it’s a conference & tradeshow for social media specialists, bloggers, podcasters & content creators. It’s where content makes commerce. I was quite tired, because I was up late the night before. After I unpacked I was going to iron clothes. The iron had some schmoo on it & stuck to my white jacket. I called housekeeping & requested it to be cleaned, but instead security showed up with paperwork for Rio Risk Management to review and then contact me in 3-5 work days. I will be gone by then, and at my own cleaners I suppose. The lecture were great, if you followed me on Twitter, you’d know I’m a bit verbose – well...

Today is Labor Day. A day that we hard working folks of America take a day off. It’s an annual national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. I would like to highlight a hard working local business that I use regularly. All Pet Feed has always been helpful, friendly, has hard labor involved and gives back to the community. I have appreciated this great place since 1982. All Pet Feed is located at 25598 Base Line Street in San Bernardino, CA. They are open 7 days a week, and has feed for every kind of animal you can imagine. These guys/gals deserve a break just for regularly moving bales of hay weighing between 90 – 125 pounds, and other bags of feed that typically weigh 50 pounds....
