Once again, Red is the color of humanity and concern.
This time it is Campbell’s Yes! Campbell’s soup…teaming up with The American Heart Association.
The campaign, Go Red With Campbell’s has incorporated the regulation tactics of many charities, such as the star component, Lorraine Bracco — The Soprano’s, Dr. Melfi.
A very serious-sounding mission statement: … […]
What is life like without children?
I’m not sure if we ever officially decided not to have children, I believe it was more like — we decided not to decide.
Aside from some loneliness around holidays or a sense of acute isolation when I’m home working out here in the suburbs…our life without children is fulfilling to […]
20 Years of Marriage In A Zip-lock bag?
If you are like me, most likely the only time you find yourself up in your attic is to pull down the mangled holiday lights…am I right?
And all you want to do is get out of there…ghosts and mice and such:).
But today, as I was crawling around looking […]
The Dog Whisperer often says that he “rehabilitates dogs and trains people”. In many episodes of his show, he will also say that dogs live in the present. They do not understand the past and the do not consider the future.
Hmmm. I wish Ceasar would come to my house and teach […]
Spirit the paralyzed Yorkie.
It’s amazing to me how many people I learn about since having started The Pet Set, who were like me, in that they once had a corporate career path, but decided to leave that world in order to work with or around or for dogs (and many other animals).
Steve Smith and […]
So working moms and dads don’t have enough to worry about — now they have to add co-ed sleepovers to the list?
I’ve mentioned previously that we don’t have children, but here’s how I imagine this conversation taking place:
You are on a business trip, preparing for a big presentation — while you are on the plane […]
After my little piece about Dakota Fanning’s film, I should probably just shut up.
But, but, but…I have to mention something that Rosie said on Thursday’s of airing of The View, the day after the President’s State of the Union Address.
Rosie told the audience (or rather screamed at them) that the President should […]
I’m using the word Xerox as a metaphor for, supposedly, “menial” tasks…or more to the point, our own sense of self-importance.
For me, as a small business owner, the xeroxing and the envelope stuffing, and the running to the post office are never over.
I have to do these things myself…and goddd, I think I’ve been collating […]
I can’t think of anything sadder, more shameful or more disturbing in our society than child abuse.
And even though Ms. Fanning is an actress and is “just playing a character”, in her upcoming movie Hounddog, if I were her mother or any other responsible adult involved with the film, would NOT have let […]
Hillary Clinton’s Annoucement:
I’m in. And I’m in to win.
Today I am announcing that I will form an exploratory committee to run for president.
I don’t get it…has she announced that she’s in or she announcing that she will announce whether or not she’s in.
I guess it depends on what you mean by “In”.
But whatever…the gloves are […]
As I reviewed my e-mails yesterday, there in front of me, like a marquee in Times Square, blared the sentence that I have dreaded, since I launched The Pet Set, two years ago, this month.
My customer’s note read: “We are not doing well with the cards I chose at all. Any suggestions? I […]
Ok…those who read Blog Fabulous and to those who are new…this is totally not my style of writing…BUT I have to tell this story.
I’ve been going to the same dry cleaner folks in my home town for 20 years. Billy, and his wife…whose name, I never remember.
I go in today…and lazily, I plop my […]
I have to say, that while it’s usually a fun little surprise to come across a Top 10 tips list, while getting a manicure — most of the time these lists bore me.
Blog after blog, magazine cover after magazine cover — there are lists that boast things such as:
“10 ways to get your husband to […]
This question appears somewhere on-line several times a month.
As you might imagine, there are infinite lists, opinions, rants and advice — about how to recognize when it’s time to leave your company…including the most obvious signal: the money isn’t there for you.
For me, the warning signs were typical and maybe even subtle at first […]
I certainly didn’t start The Pet Set with the goal of working more and making less money; but there are days when it seems like that’s exactly what happened.
I went from making a significant salary with long hours…to $0 salary and inSANE hours. There isn’t one moment of the day when I am not […]
