I got an early start with my father's day celebrations today. On Sunday, it will be the kids and the grandsons, but today I sat down with my old boss, Alan, from 20+ years ago to chat and have a beer. Al lost his son to suicide twenty eight years ago, and I lost my dad three years ago...

I have a 1970s era Steelcase office desk that is destined for the scrap heap and I'm in the market for something new...custom built to my own needs. My office space is a 9 x 12 room in my house and I am planning on utilizing the entire 9 foot wall as a backdrop. Also, I'm tired of...

Twice this week I've been asked to fax documents. The first company was the so called "high tech" telephone company that also provides Internet services and so on. They said they can't receive emails with attached documents. The second company was a publishing company (go figure). Their...

After numerous attempts, I told you no. But you persisted and would not be denied. No means no, but still...you would not (could not) be satisfied. Your advances went last too far last night and now here you are. You forced me. So...who else is dealing with a violation of privacy with...

I need just one image from Shutterstock and I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up an account since I don't ever use photos in my line of work (and they don't accept PayPal). The image will be used non-commercially one time (for my mom's funeral program). I don't need it yet, but...

Not sure just what it is... Thanks, JB

It's not about "if", it's about "when"... About six years ago, I began sensing the need to begin dialog with my aging and ailing parents about managing their affairs should they become completely incapacitated. Dad was a bit indifferent, but not totally opposed. Mom, on the other hand...

I need something close to the Ford Motor Company typeface. I can see a little bit of Edwardian script, but I was looking for something a bit closer...maybe a bit bolder than Edwardian. Thanks, JB

I'm a one-man show with just a desktop computer (no laptop), and the time has come to seriously consider a better option for backing up my files. Currently, I use a Thermaltake BlacX dual SATA docking station for backing up my files. Only my files are being backed up, no system data (which I...

I just got caught up with the 21st century three months ago with a smartphone. The (seemingly, very young) gal at the bank gave me the spiel about how easy it is to use their mobile app for managing our account, and making deposits with just a quick photo snap of my customer's checks...

Anybody into Nordic Walking (with tandem walking poles)? This is my second year, and by far it's the best way to boost metabolism and drop pounds. Somehow, I got away from using the poles during last summer and fall, and I noticed a huge decline in metabolism...and a substantial weight...

I'm non-diabetic, but I closely monitor my fasting glucose levels each morning since Type 2 diabetes runs heavily down both sides of my family. I'm using Samsung's S-Health app for sticking with my 2015 (yes...2015) resolutions for weight control and physical activity, but other than a...

Ok...so I rudely found out this morning that the USPS has discontinued the regional rate "C" size shipping boxes, and nowhere on their web portal can I find the options for using the regional rate "A" and "B" size boxes either. I've gotten a plethora of emails lately concerning other...

As a one-man show, I still "run on paper", and lately some of my hand written orders have come up missing only to turn up a few days later...too late to record delivery/shipping info, etc. Electronic work flow is coming, but not quite yet. In the end, our orders and invoices are typed into the...

Food for thought...

I have a Gerber IVB and a Gerber Graphix 2 that are free to a good home if you pick them up here in Hillsdale, MI. I'm not sure if the Graphix 2 works, but the IVB worked when we last used it several years ago. PM me if you're interested. I'd sell them on eBay, but they're heavy and...

The first of two that hatched this morning. I can hardly believe how so much fits into such a small chrysalis. They're something awesome to behold when they take flight for the first time. I'll have another 20 or more over the next three weeks. See the initial dialogue here...

Every once in a while a customer comes along and opens your mind to new, and perhaps, exciting things. Earlier this spring, I discovered one customer in particular was also a nature/science-lover and we discussed lots of things...walking in the great outdoors, honeybees...and of course, Monarch...

Ok...for those of you with your advertising on the back of your vehicle, have you ever paid for the order behind you at your favorite drive thru? Other than sitting at a stop light, the drive thru is perhaps the only other place you have a captive audience. This would surely be one way to...

This comes up in WTF as Dreamland or Showcard Gothic. Does anybody know of a match in SignLab, Gerber Omega or Illustrator? Thanks, JB
