The Federal Trade Commission has a new rule in place that requires all bloggers to disclose any financial incentives they receive for endorsing products or services. The new rules takes effect on December 1, 2009.
I think this is a stupid rule, but who am I to judge? After all, what person doesn’t realize that someone [...]

Mommy Bloggers Beware
October 1
October is probably my favorite month. There seems to be so much going on, and with fall commencing, you begin to realize how quickly time passes.
We celebrated my son’s 2nd birthday yesterday, and that made me think about how precious and quick life comes. There’s a national insurance company that likes to use the [...]
Protect Your Online Self
Oklahoma is an "at-will" employment state. This means that you and your employer have the right to end your employment at any time, and for any reason (there are some limited exceptions). What I typically hear from someone who was fired from their employment, is that a boss was upset over the individual’s behavior [...]
Make Sure to Review Everything
I like to look for little grammar and spelling gems. These gems occur when you see that someone didn’t take their responsibility as serious as they should. I’m a stickler for good grammar and spelling, so I like to chuckle when people make mistakes in really important situations.

I remember being a young 20-something trying to discover my "purpose" or "calling" and exploring all of the options that would fit my Meyer’s-Briggs Personality Profile. I remember how poorly my high school and college [...]
Your new business venture
This post by The Real Estate Bloggers had me chuckling. It’s a pretty ingenious method to sell your home. I haven’t tried it, but I’m considering the option, if given the choice.
My lawn sits in shambles right now. A by-product of summer heat and fall laziness. My neighbor on the other hand, had the forsight [...]
OKC is number 1
Local news and the chamber of commerce picked up this Forbes story (see this site for pictures), and quickly touted the multiple benefits of living in Oklahoma City. With this great ranking though, who could blame them.
OKC is the place for businesses and families. Also making this city so great, is the low cost of [...]
Get Along With Others
When I was an undergraduate, I studied Organizational Communication. Two of my favorite classes dealt with negotiation and conflict resolution. Both classes emphasized Dale Carnegie’s book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. One of the reasons I believe that Mr. Carnegie’s book is so valuable, is it’s ability to provide simple advice regarding relationships [...]
