IMPROVING ON… There are things “wise guys” say … which I believe don’t match reality. I’m sure I can improve on their kind of “wisdom.” The following ARE actual quotes from modern “medicine men.” 1. “Don’t Complain. Do something about it.” Except most of the things about which we complain are things OUTSIDE our control. Weather, government websites, stupid human …

GUEST POST from Don – Templates +
TIRED OF TEMPLATES + It is true that if you look for anything on the internet you will often find the lowest possible denominator. What pops up first is the site most clicked, not the most informative or accurate. However, I’ve never operated that way. I look first for reputable sites. I go to places like Cleveland Clinic or …

GUEST POST from Don – Wisdom Is Smart
WISDOM IS SMART I admit that sometimes I agree with what others write, perhaps not often. I saw an article by Darius Foroux “Lessons I Learned the Hard Way.” His lessons have been experienced by many and usually lead to failure. It isn’t that his ideas are wrong, they just aren’t terribly right. It is my wish to improve …
