Mel Gibson: The Truth Shall Set You Free

He may be the ultimate hypocrite, but at least he’s honest. Not that telling the truth will save him from eternal damnation… but who am I to judge? If you watched Mel Gibson’s “performance” on NBC’s “Tonight Show” earlier this week, there’s one thing you can’t deny the Hollywood mega-star—-he’s one heck of an actor. The 53-year-old “Lethal Weapon” star showed up clean-shaven, looking relaxed in jeans, a white shirt and a blue jacket. However, it didn’t take long before he became a fidgety, sweat-drenched mess. And well he should have been. After all, acting takes effort. Gibson’s performance began … Continue reading →

Promoting Something for Free

When it comes to promoting your business’ products and/or services, it is hard to beat a free offer or some sort of sample. You might not think you have the sort of business where you can give out something for free, but offering a freebie can be a surefire way to attract business. While some businesses offer a free product or service (such a free consultation or buy one get one free), there are other ways you can use the appeal of offering something for free without giving away the farm. Consider giving away free information—creating a brochure or pamphlet … Continue reading →

Each design team call has a lot of rules, and usually, a lot of submissions. Often times, they are looking for someone who can itemize ever product on their scrapbook layout and where it came from. This is something I’ve always struggled with. Once I open something, I often … Continue reading →

The Dark Side of Bargain Hunting

I admit that I get a little excited when I spot a bargain. Sometimes these bargains are real bargains and something they just seem that way. Many a person has become bankrupt by pursuing great bargains. In fact, if you ever watch a show such as Clean House, Clean Sweep or Hoarders, you know how quickly bargain hunting can wind up costing you money in the long run. Yesterday, I watched a Clean House show that featured the “Messiest Home in America.” The lady had enough stuff after the clean out to fill a 7,000 square foot department store for … Continue reading →

Frugal is: Living in Your Van to Save College Costs

I hear about people living in their vehicles all the time, generally because they are down on their luck. Even famous people have been known to live in their cars during hard time,like Jewel and Tyler Perry, for example. Just two years ago Ken Ilgunas was called a crybaby for an article he wrote in the Buffalo News Opinion Column as he complained about being a college graduate and living at home. Here is an excerpt of the column he wrote: “Desperate times called for desperate measures, and I had no intention of living in a society that was as … Continue reading →
