Sometimes people fail to start a business because of their “never say can” attitude which could be a sign of deeper problems like clinical depression or something.
Evidently though that lack of entrepreneurial drive and “Get’ em Tiger” attitude may not mean you’re depressed at all… you may just be British according to this humorous post […]

I got this call out of the blue today saying I had “responded to our website seeking business information and we are calling to set up your free interview.”
My questions to the caller went something like this…
“What?”
“You’re WHO?”
“When did I supposedly ask for this information?”
Frankly, I don’t remember asking for it. But they got my […]

I’ve written about this before here. I just found out about the $20 off coupon HERE….

Allegedly due to “online” bullying, a Kentucky Legislator wants site owners to pay a $500 fine every time they allow an anonymous post.
How site owners are going to police whether the name used to register on a site is completely crazy, but this is a good way to shut down every forum based in every […]

I emailed somebody and they wrote back and said “Chuck, you were ‘Spot On!’”
I think that means I “hit something on the Bull’s Eye” as we used to say.
I guess it’s a British turn of phrase… if I were really “in” I’m sure I’d know.
It always strikes me as a strange turn of phrase.
Maybe one […]

I met a doctor practicing in the US in Philadelphia. He’d emigrated from a Middle Eastern country to practice in the US. I forget the country.
Upon arriving in the US he was constantly overwhelmed with choices about everything in every category.
In some ways it was distracting and disorienting to him. We tend to just shut […]

I like ListDotCom.com and use it to test products. Another way I test is to read the headlines that come into my email box.
One just came in that said “Forget Everything You’ve Heard…”
So I forgot how to open the email.
