Continuing to have issues

If you were here earlier you saw that I’ve lost everything. Godaddy says it’s my fault. Maybe. Maybe not.
I have a plan for rebuild, I’m just ironing out a few more technical issues with the set-up before reloading the posts.

This Just In: I Hate Mr. Fab

More posts about boobies and nethers.
More sexual-harassment of other bloggers - male and female.
Pack Ted’s fudge. Ted likes fudge like a fat kid likes fudge.

To Delete or Not Delete: That is The Question

I delete paid posts. I also delete unpaid posts.
I’ll give you a moment to swallow that little bit of throw-up in your mouth… I know, most bloggers don’t. Every post is a part of them, paid or unpaid. That’s great. As a former Market Communications manager, I learned long ago to set aside pride of […]

PPP’s marketplace allows the blogger to select the advertiser rather than the other way around. Unfortunately, this creates a “feeding frenzy” during times when opportunities are dropping into the system. With […]

Trip Report: PPP HQ

Oh. My.
Mr. Fab and Pete would like to thank all who attended their wedding. I was giving away the bride. Doesn’t Pete look excited?
