Ghostwriting and other things

Okay, I've neglected this blog for too long now, as it's been almost a month since I last posted. What really shamed me is that I've been on my friend Cathouse Teri to post. And she did post this tribute about her dad this past week. As I told have Teri several times, she has turned out to be a great friend to me. Don't let the "Cathouse Teri" moniker fool you. She is really a sweet lady who cares about others and lights up when posting about her grand baby.

Back to my topic. Recently, my daughter has gotten me interested in Textbroker. This is a website that pays you to write, many times blog posts. This is something I have been doing now for almost 6 years. You are assigned a skill level after reading a sample of your writing. You can choose from an available list of articles, do a little bit of research, then write a story. You can earn anywhere from one dollar to five dollars for doing a few minutes work. You won't get rich from this, but it beats the eternal hope you would have money fall from the sky.

Good thing about this is that I do get some confidence in my writing every time a client accepts my article. Anyway, if you are looking to make some cash from an afternoon at the keyboard, check out textbroker.com.

Hi Cliff I'm tagging you for a Meme. I haven't done one in AGES, but this one comes with a nice award so... you can just take the award (with a hug) and drop the meme if it's a hassle..

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
