This company is doing a great Twitter campaign (funny, about Dorlan at the Beach)…I love yummy advertising. And this video is good…educational. Goes well with salmon eggs, caviar, goat’s cheese, chocolate, walnuts.

Encouragement for your journey away from working a regular day job to working even harder at your own business, but loving it. There are perils along the way just like the book Behold The Dawn. This is the trailer for the book, I found through @KMWeiland on Twitter. She’s a historical writer.
Mind Your Own Bees Wax

So, people out there are talking about what you are on about (call it DNA).
Asking 12 people “What am I good at?”, this is what they said…
Vivian Chan — What are you good at? – My instinct is your communication skills. You could work well with everyone. You would share what you know to others. You are a good mother and caring.
Anita Yuen — I noticed you were good at customer service, managing multiple requests/task list, evangelism, befriending anyone – hospitality, finding funny things.
Barb Jones — You excel at writing!
Alfons Bemmel — To you, Cathy, there is a mysterious side. You have faced many difficulties in your life and you paid attention and learned from them. This matured you well beyond the ‘ordinary’ person.
You have a deep longing for equality of people and a strong admiration of human kind. You value your friends highly, yet prefer to mind your own business. In other words: you have a genuine loving respect for the privacy of others.
You are open minded and don’t care much for gossip and slander. You’re good at nurturing relationships, yet prefer to keep a low profile. When you need help, you’re open enough to ask and are willing to hear the opinions of others – even if they are disagreeable.
Your best side: you’re a decent Human Being. (And that is much to say about you).
Jake Klinkenberg – Well I think a few things that you are good at is
1. Empathy I think that you are genuinely empathetic although a person may have to pull it out of you,
2. You are given to details . First impressions do make a difference especially if thy are followed up on.
3. You have the ability to be well organized and thought out. ( I also think you are a good cook at least from my experiences!!)
Kum Dhakshina — helping people esp. soothing/calming people
resourceful
Now, crossing off everything that might not be true what is left is: finding funny things. That should be the centre of and platform of the rest of the blog.
Now you do it…you will find the answers very interesting, and you’ll be closer to figuring out what can sustain your interest.

7 Reasons Why “Honey” Flu is Good For You
Published on October 30, 2009
Right, I changed the name H1N1 to “hini” which sounds like “honey”…
- You get a little sympathy (very little)
- You can lie around & finally read that book
- Coughing up gobs is fun
- You will be able to tighten your belt one more notch
- You can be part of a big movement
- When it stops you feel so alive!
- The fear is totally gone
Here’s how I dealt with it:
- home-made bone soup
- Swedish bitters
- Nim-Jiong cough syrup
- regular & steroid inhaler
- hot Epsome salt baths
- sleep
- Kosher sea salt saline solution (nose)

TinyChat
Published on October 28, 2009
Okay now…this is neat, for business to arrange a disposable chat room to meet for a time. But for gosh sakes after you check it out, use it for a good purpose to meet your project members. What you can do is send them the url through Skype if you have that running…
- create your room
- sign in with Twitter etc.
- login
- enter your topic
- set your privacy
- OK
- invite friends
- start broadcasting, allow
So you’ll see yourself in the little camera window…which is exactly WHY you want to set the privacy.
Tell ya why…on the main page you see lots of tiny little thumbnails of people who are in their own chat rooms without the privacy setting.
Now, if you click on one you’ll see something strange…so don’t do it. What I saw was some guy looking intently (not at me).
Okay, so if someone randomly clicked on your little image they would see you! See what I mean?
But it’s a great tool for you and your team to meet. There’s some tabs, drop-down menus and all that. You can even record it (better than a secretary).
*note: you can type or talk
