Things that will make you think and say "huh"





I was looking around, surfing the net and was wandering indiscriminately around based on the various links that are emailed to me.  I guard my email address in such a way that I have everything organized, categorized.  It is important that when I subscribe to a site, that it does something for me.  Personally.  Not my husband, nor my family nor my employer.  It is my time.  Yes, it makes me a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, employee when I do so.  

 What I see and what I post are random and make me mentally say "huh".  Not loudly as an acclamation "HUH!!" nor drawn out with puzzlement as in "huH??"  Just a small registration, like a blip, I mentally register with a "huh".  As in, interesting, let me read more.

 You would think that as a person you have to be guarded and wary of giving too much of yourself away, to be taken unawares and exposed to danger, inconvenience, unwarranted attention, unsolicited retention.  

 Imagine being a company.  Wide open to the opinions of many, anonymously by others.  How do you or how can you defend yourself against bad press, bad publicity?  I guess you create warm and fuzzy or hip and jazzy advertisements to catch the audience off guard, almost to believe more than "huh" to a "yeah".  That's good marketing.  Or is it good reputation?  

 Information sits out there if you are a company, ready to be snapped up and shared on blogs, social media tweets, shares, posts, pins, grams, tumbls, reddits, quora'd, opinion polls, surveys.

 It is backwards in a way.  In the way that companies are a name or a nickname brand.   It is the tag, umbrella, building, stock exchange ticker, associated by a price, a service, a product, a name.  

 The name is a logo, a flag, a banner, a website, a name all bundled together as an identity.

 Who are the company accountable to?  

 * its leadership
* its personnel
* its shareholders

 The reality, sadly, is that is not the real world order:: it looks more like:

 **REPUTATION**
* its brand | offering | price 
* its leadership
* its shareholders
* its personnel

 Yeah I said REPUTATION was the most critical cherry on top of the proverbial cake.  The ingredients are all mixed together:  brand+offering+price+leadership+shareholders+per-sonnel

A topic that is too judgMENTAL ::... transgenders

Too few role models:   SOURCE A question was posted on QUORA and I felt compelled to respond: Why don't transgender people use the restrooms corresponding to their genitals to try and end the needless transgender bathroom controversy? It is none of our business. This reminds me of things we have to struggle with growing up::…. what IS our identity? What IS our moral standard? Should others have THE right to determine what is best for US? Almost ALL of us in the age of inBETWEENers (born 1960 to 1965, neither Baby Boomers, Generation X, nor Millennials) must REMEMBER what the biggest questions of our day were? If others forgot, I can share with you: Do you or don’t you circumcise your newborn son? SOURCE :  "Boys" by William E. Rochfort  Remember that?   I do. Is it necessary or more to do with mental well being our our son: likeness to daddy. It was something I read avidly read about because sometimes reading becomes “PEACE of MIND”. In this inst...

Testing ... reDEFINING

Postings on the Edge a twist of words as reference to Postcards from the Edge.   Kindred spirits join the journey.  But first, you need to begin with me firstly by watching "Bright Lights" with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds  Take in the poignant moment when Carrie visits her dying father, Eddie Fisher, with more forgiveness than any one I've ever known. Compassionate creatures  enveloped from the vessels of "Singing in the Rain" fame, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher who wrote "Postcards from the Edge" starring Shirley McClain and young upstart Merle Streep.  I watched this  this afternoon after taking the HUNKster's suggestion of HBO's "Bright Lights" last night when we returned home after sharing a hearty dinner with great friends.   Quality overpowers time every time Suggesting quality is not defined by length of time spent together, but in the value and peaceful-ness ...

wandering around the interglobe ....

I am pretty sure I've said this before:: I have social media ADD (attention deficit disorder).  What I mean is I can log on with a very singular purpose in mind, for example, check my email to follow up on something. But, like a demon possessed, I scroll down the INBOX and all sorts of click bait jump out at me.  There lies another trait I have: I fall for click bait.  But as an anointed inductee, I admit that I have a problem. You see, there is some deeper, hidden side to me that even I didn't know was there.  A youthful curiosity about anything and everything that grabs my attention, where the enthusiasm manifests (thank YOU GOOGLE CHROME spell check:  right click in GOOGLE BLOGSPOT and scroll up to top tag/link and it will show you the proper spelling of that word. See what i mean?  I log here to blog about something and then completely think of something completely different and go on a detour for longer than it takes you to read this far. ...
