The Mic Is On: We're Talking about $10 Million …

April 22, 2008 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

What would we do if we got $10 Million free and clear?

No taxes. No debts to pay. No strings attached in any way.

Would we

  • quit working?
  • move to a new part of the world?
  • buy something we’ve always wanted?
  • build something we’ve dreamed of accomplishing?
  • go somewhere we’ve always wished to be?
  • give it away?

Of course, we’ll talk about everything under the sun as well. And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links to share about free money and dreams.

Spring Changes Everything — Even US!!

Ever notice how people change when the flowers start coming up? They get nicer, spruce things up, and offer random acts of kindness, play baseball fly kites. What signs of spring have we seen in the people around us? Think of how people respond to

  • spring fever
  • spring cleaning
  • spring fashions
  • spring weather

Of course, we’ll talk about everything under the Spring sun as well. And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring signs of Spring links to share. Hey it’s better than talking about TAXES!!

… the Blogosphere!

204252734_fba1eb1bb5_m.jpg

Let’s start with:

  • What’s changed since we started blogging?
  • What do we miss about when we didn’t blog at all?
  • What are we most grateful that we found in the Blogosphere?
  • What are we most concerned won’t stay the same?

And, we’ll talk about whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about the blogosphere to share!

… the Blogosphere!

We might talk about what’s changed since we started blogging, what we miss about when we didn’t blog at all, what we are most grateful that we found in the Blogosphere, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about the state of the Blogosphere.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂
