I’ll say it – I don’t like Lady Ga Ga.
And, judging by the way she acts, I’m really surprised that she calls herself a Lady!
She does not behave in a lady like manner.
If I ignore her, will she go away?
As more and more stuff comes at me every day, it gets easier (and harder) to keep up, but also easier (and harder) to let things slip by.
Our friends at Poly Graphics Invitations created a new tool for you to use – that will cost you nothing and give you confidence in planning your parties.
It will help you answer the question “when should I send my invitations?”
It’s called, appropriately WhenShouldISendMeInvitations.com
Just plug your celebration date in, select the type of party it is, and the tool gives you two dates back -
1) When you should order your invitations
2) When you should send your invitations
It’s simple, easy, and won’t cost you anything.
To: The two women and three dogs that I had a “near miss” with yesterday
Dear Ladies and Dogs,
I’m sorry about our almost incident yesterday. I know it would have been my fault if anyone or any dog got hurt. It is quite amazing that I went between you all and nobody was hit or hurt.
My only excuse is that in 21 years of being at that intersection there has never been a single pedestrian to the right of me while I stopped there. I waited for the cars coming from the left to clear, and assumed that no one would be over there – like every other day in 21 years.
I promise to now look both ways before going through the intersection.
But please, for your safety, please make sure a driver is looking at you and gives you the right of way before walking in front of a car.
Glad that everyone is OK,
Shortwinded

This year Zac and Jimmy Buffett sing “Knee Deep”
Next year I’m guessing he’ll get in up to his waist!
I get many – way too many emails.
I can’t read them all and many stay unread in my inbox.
Here are 5 great ways to get me to unsubscribe from your email list:
1) Tell me something is URGENT! (especially in all caps) when it isn’t. It is not urgent that I give you my money.
2) Shouting in general – DON’T WRITE IN ALL CAPS
3) Writing a really short email that has 3 links to instant internet money button software
4) Writing an email that looks exactly like some other internet marketer’s email
5) Writing like you assume that I am your friend when I hardly even know you
