This could be a lot of fun! Truthfully, I'm not that much of a Photoshop wizz — it's my wife who's the graphic artist in the family — but I certainly look forward to seeing other people's creative

@jaynie dearest, you have every conceivable reason to have been out of the loop for a while; people who have "expectations" of what other people "should" do can just practice the Royal

I'd have to say I'm pretty involved in Hive... but I actually write for about 10-15 different venues/blogs, so I can't genuinely claim to be 100% Living the Hive Life. But that doesn't mean I don't like

I actually had a period of day trading, back in the 90's... had a bit of money, and exploring that new frontier of online trading. So yeah, I can relate! I mostly did mine on my knack for pattern recognition

One of the things I like to bring up — particularly when people who don't want to wear masks start building their argument about limiting oxygen intake and becoming hypoxic when you wear a mask — is simply

@anomadsoul, it's one of those issues that has no clear cut lines. Years back, I remember the first post I made that finally got some substantial upvotes suddenly got severely trimmed by a major flag over

I really grok the Hello Kitty meets Darth Vader theme; very 22nd century! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I guess I am getting a bit long in the tooth for revolutions, but when I think about it, I come

I guess I'm just "too much of a Buddhist" in some ways... very rarely — if ever — are people or ideas 100% right or 100% wrong. Whenever the insistence that something has to be done according

Some people are just not happy unless they are "in a fight." I remember the ridiculousless of that many years ago when I started to date someone I thought was a very nice woman... until she quite
