A couple of weeks ago I tried to upload a video onto GabTV, and was surprised to see that I couldn’t, that it was down for maintenance. Rumors afoot of its demise, people talking about losing their past videos…I was bereft! And said so! Soon a dear friend got the straight scoop and told me …

GUEST POST from Don: Why Sarcasm Does Not Translate
WHY SARCASM DOES NOT TRANSLATE I could enjoy writing with sarcasm but a significant number of readers would not understand. The same thing would happen for you.

GUEST POST from Don: OOPS! That’s How I Write
OOPS! That’s How I Write I never took a writing course, … obviously. I overuse and misuse CAPITALS and (parentheticals). That is partly because I am too cheap to use “Word.” Copy and paste is not the best way to send documents…and therefore I can’t include BOLD or UNDERLINE.

GUEST POST from Don: The Re-Colonization of America, pt. I
The RE-COLONIZATION of America (Part I) BIG Discussion Starter… Hundreds of years ago Europeans began to colonize America. The Native Peoples were pushed out of their lands. Eventually those Native Peoples were eliminated, absorbed, or relegated to reservations. Last year approximately 3+ million illegals crossed our borders, according to several sources. That added about 1% to our population. In the …

GUEST POST from Don: Truth
THE TRUTH 1. Not everyone wants to know the truth. Especially when the truth is a diagnosis of cancer. 2. Some want only “Their” Truth. They want to proclaim only that with which they agree.3.

GUEST POST from Don: H.A.L.T.
H.A.L.T. Something not so good happens to us when we are uneasy. We get cranky. We may say or do things which are inappropriate. We may find ourselves in a recorded situation that has gone viral (as if our original irritation was not enough). In essence, we lose control. I’ve done it. You may have done it. Needless to say, if …
