The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary.<br /><br /><br />www.onlineuniversalwork.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-15567766526083213002007-06-06T23:21:00.000+01:002007-06-06T23:21:00.000+01:00Keep calm everyone,don't panic and lose your nerve...Keep calm everyone,don't panic and lose your nerve now.

I prefer to call her "Mom." <BR/><BR/>So, Mom said she would be gone about a week and a half. That is about 10 or 11 days. She has already been gone 10 days. So, maybe, if this is a planned absence, and everything has gone to plan, she ought to reappear in a day or two. <BR/><BR/>I sort of assumed that her sabbatical was home-construction related. Maybe they had to do some major demolition-recontruction, and the family has retreated to safer quarters for a few days. Maybe she could have stood it if it was just her. But you know, with the kids, I'm sure she would feel guilty if one of them got struck on the head by a load of bricks, or fell into some heavy equipment, or some calamity like that. That would all make sense wouldn't it? <BR/><BR/>I bet she has a bunch of saved-up, pent-up, frustration-filled, excitin' stories to tell us, when she gets back.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544494033981606866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-76698635846974958342007-06-05T18:13:00.000+01:002007-06-05T18:13:00.000+01:00Well Mr Thinker if it's more blogs your are after ...Well Mr Thinker if it's more blogs your are after try mine.

(Its all that talk of Pilates, chocolate and red wine, - what a mixture.<BR/> Well my poor wife has had to put up with my Mediterranean cooking which I learned having to fend for myself in Cyprus. Good healthy stuff this Mediterranean food, especially if you're a vegetarian. But veggie my other half isn't. So to fend off a mutiny I have had to learn how to cook fish and the odd bit of meat. And that is a strange experience, handling food that was once part of an animal.

I, of course, am taking a regular course of red wine for the same health conscious reasons:)<BR/><BR/>I think it's all about checks and balances, don't you? Half an hour Pilates here, and bit of chocolate there, a good long walk, a glass or two of red wine.....? <BR/><BR/>Am in the red however, diet-wise, today having just eaten an al fresco lunch which included pastrami (which is apparently bad, bad, bad for you), pate (the same)lovely French bread still warm with butter (don't even think about the fats in THAT) and chocolate with dates and walnuts. I tried to redress the naughty/good balance with green salad and sun-dried tomatoes but as they were swimming in olive oil (borderline good/bad) I think maybe I haven't succeeded! Altogether lovely,though, a hot Saturday lunchtime in sunny UK. <BR/><BR/>Back to the weeding!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your weekend.Swearing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277450057243928790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-91194664415897691902007-06-01T16:18:00.000+01:002007-06-01T16:18:00.000+01:00Jane -- I believe QVC has a British component -- c...Jane -- I believe QVC has a British component -- check with QVC.com on the Pilates machine. It's so fluid and relaxing that once you get the moves learned, you don't even feel like you're working hard. I often light candles and play soft music and do it just before bedtime.<BR/><BR/>re: chocolate -- The chips are those you use for cookies. They contain the requisite 60% cocoa in order to be heart-healthy. So I use them for medicinal purposes, only, of course! Tell hubby to check cocoa content, as Ghirardelli makes many types.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day--sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577409248867401730noreply@blogger.com
