About me
I live in an area of the US where many, many people are very economically depressed, especially in the rural areas. I am dedicated to helping small business owners, Minority and Women Owned Businesses try to stay alive in our struggling (failing) economy.

I use Clipmarks, not only as a fascinating online Community that I enjoy, but as a tool to get all kinds of information easily onto my business blogs. Just "Clip" and send...I love that feature.

A lot of what I Clip relates to the Deep South region of where I live. We cannot change the entire world all by ourselves, but as for me, and MY part, I can and am trying to have an impact in changing the lives of my immediate Neighbors in the Charleston, South Carolina Lowcountry.

Most of all, I enjoy the witty repartee and extreme sarcasm of my Favorite Clippers that I "follow". I like to see who certain ones are Clipping, because I know the comment thread that follows is going to be entertaining, enlightening and sometimes fierce in debate.
Because these Clippers are not just "local," but International, it gives me a fresh perspective into the problems that my Worldwide Neighbors are experiencing and they do not mince words in stating how they REALLY feel about our Global Crisis.

In the US, we still have a certain measure of Freedom of Speech. Clipmarks gives us an outlet to express grave concerns about our Government without fear of reprisals.

I am dyslexic, but I try.

Promote Peace. Period.

Why I use Clipmarks
I have come to discover that Clipmarks is a truly international gathering of individuals who share their personal news from around the world...and by making the clips public, open up a forum for interesting discussion and debate.
I have come to a deeper appreciation and respect for views and opinions other than my own. Whether I agree with them or not is a non-issue.

Various Clippers have provided endless hours of lively topics for discussion in my home.

I have learned some very obscure "tech stuff" that I ordinarily would never have even thought of on my own. I even follow a few Clippers...because they are wickedly funny, insightful, spiritual...mostly because they are just interesting "thinkers".

Over the last year, Clipmarks has become more than just a way to save and reference articles for research. It has become a tool to help me have an open mind.

What is Aquaculture?
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  Yesterday 4:34 AM    1
 Our oceans simply cannot yield sufficient quantities of fresh fish and seafood to produce enough viable protein for the Earth's population. That poses a dilemna for Fishermen, however, for a large majority of the world, without underwater agriculture, they would simply go hungry...or die.

Success Happens by Choice Not Chance - Motivational Speaker, Blanche Williams
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  8-11-2008   
 I just found Blanche Williams today. I like her life philosophy: "Success happens by choice, not chance." My business philosophy is the same, when helping people in my area with their online advertising. I say your Life's Work should never be taken for granted. Never give up. Choose to be great! "Become what you think you are". As it relates to a person's website, their business message online for the world to "see" and find their services, I say, "Your Business did not come about by chance. It was by deliberate design. Get your message heard and in front of those who need your services with "online design". Hence, my moniker "onlinedesign". I think all things that are great in this world are by design. I really don't think anything worthwhile is left to chance. You CAN become what you want to be. I love highlighting and Clipping people like Blanche Williams. Granted, she's a promoter. But the substance of what she promotes is inspiring and needed.

A Jealous Lover is a Bad Choice - Learn How to Love Right
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  8-9-2008    1
 Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love the greater the jealousy. - Robert Heinlein, American writer (1907-1988) I love that quote. Bill Allin is one of my favorite modern writers. I follow his published works, as they always inspire me, solve a problem, or give inspiration.

 "It seems like a no brainer" - but the number one tip to stop smoking is to simlpy quit buying "the darn things". Use supplements if you need help. Sublingual spays second only to injections for absorption of herbal meds that help stop cravings and make nicotine withdrawal easier. A nice article from an ex-smoker whowants to help others.

US Senator Dumps His Pregnant Dog at Pound
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  7-20-2008    6
 I am an advocate for the State of South Carolina and for Animal Rights, especially "getting your Pet Spayed and Neutered in SC". This is my Animal Care Blog: http://animalcare-sc.blogspot.com/ South Carolina is a wonderful, beautiful and unique place to live. When I hear such discusting displays of negligence and uncaring it hurts my heart to detail it, when it is a blight on my Community and yet another shame for my State. However, this story is already "out there" and it needs to be addressed. One of our SC Senators is grossly incapable of compassion, running his own household, spaying and neutering his pets, and really should not be in charge of other people's lives. It's a shame. But do you really want men without compassion running your State and leading your Nation? So, it's about a dumb dog? NO. It's about the "heart condition" and "neglect of responsibility" of one of our so called Leaders. Lead Men "by example," if not, go sell shoes or "DO" something else!

Beware of Toxic Friendships
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  7-20-2008    2
 When you see one who is unworthy... examine your own character. ~Confucius This is profound. Does it mean that when you identify someone who is "unworthy" of your Friendship, you "know" who he is because of some same flaw or quality you recognize within yourself? Either way, you have to be good to yourself first, then share that goodness with others. You first, best and nearest "friends" are the people in your own home. Beware of toxic friendships. Know the warning signs of "users" and "abusers".

Poor People Are Fat and A Nation of Whiners
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  7-20-2008   
 Progressive thinking from dinosaurs? Gramm's views have not changed since the 1970's. Where are the stats? What are the solutions? Last time I looked, name calling never actually solved anything. Labling groups of impoverished people and witty adjectives for their plight might make a magazine cover, but in reality it does not make a bad situation any better. The "Al Gore Syndrome" at work agian. Talk, Talk, Talk...soluntions implemented = NONE. Perhaps he'll win the Nobel Peace Prize for his insults and remarkable discovery that "Poor People Are Fat". Pehaps if they stopped whining about us being a "Nation of Whiners" and actually started "doing" the right thing for the "Poor, Fat People" - we could get along towards a solution for the US, and Worldwide, crisis. Roll up your sleeves, Boys, and actually DO something already, will ya!!!

Foreclosure Fever Stats for Charleston SC Lowcountry
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  7-20-2008   
 The tide has turned in the Charleston SC Lowcountry, now experiencing a significant amount of home foreclosures, even on the Islands and very affluent areas of Charleston. Unfortunately, someone else's loss will be another's easy gain. Charleston is still on the rise as a relocation and retirement area in the South (US) and opportunities abound as more and more businesses are relocating here for good. The moral of the story- no matter where you live, do NOT wait until you are 3-6 months behind and fighting foreclosure before you go to a foreclosure specialist or foreclosure "counselor" in your area. The #1 problem their overworked offices are having right now is people coming in for "free help" but it's almost too late to recover. Get help. It's free. Free foreclosure counselors are "out there" near where you live. DO NOT BE TOO EMBARRASSED TO SEEK HELP. This is your Lifestyle and your Family Home we're talking about. Seek help before it's too late.
