I love a place that gives clear instructions.
How could supporting small businesses help jump-start the economy?
Sponsored by HP.Beats me. How can I support small businesses if I have no discretionary income? Ask one of the gazillion new millionaires in the world -- they've got all the money now.
How are you celebrating the 4th of July?
Here's today: doing dishes, writing letters, taking a walk, sending emails, VOXing (I hope), doing laundry, cleaning the filter in the vacuum cleaner. NOT answering the phone if it rings.
Normally I'd put out a couple of small flags, because we always do/did. But it's raining and that's a no-no. I've been told.
It's just another day, and for that I'm profoundly grateful.
What's your favorite song with "America" or "USA" in the title? Bonus points if you share it with us.
If you could do anything you want tomorrow, what would it be?
Submitted by Becca-Pink.Same as today. It's not what you do, as much as how you do it. Mostly.
I'm pretty happy with the doing, so the it doesn't matter very much. Mostly.
Today I went into the small town that is near me. It was crowded and hot and I was in no mood to dawdle, even to take pictures. But some things can't be resisted. Some of the pix I took are pedestrian. Some aren't. I didn't stop to crop some of them. But here's a little taste of what happens when I take my camera into the outside world:
I grew up at this window. We moved in when I was around five, and too small to see out (without sitting on the kitchen counter). Now I look out every day, and treasure the view.
You rock. Seriously.
In case anyone doesn't know, Widget Box just paid us a visit and left this comment:
"[ciò è buono] greetings and salutations to all in RobbbieDobbbie's community. First,
I am glad that Maukie is back! He is a favorite at Widgetbox as well
thousands of other web surfers across the globe.
I wanted to address the experimental ad that was appearing in Maukie. I apologize that there was a bug that kept the ad in its OPEN mode vs rolling back up to an un-intrusive position (as it is intended to do).
Just like a real cat, Maukie needs to be fed. It costs money to make Maukie appear on thousands of pages across the web every day and we need a way in which to support this service.
We promise to be more careful as we move forward and we promise to come out with less intrusive methods for achieving this. We are not sure when we will run our next test, but we will definitely come back to this community to get your feedback as it is very important to us to address the needs of our Maukie viewers (and the other 60k wonderful widgets we serve).
Please feel free to send us your comments directly to support@widgetbox.com and we will also keep an eye here for feedback."
