I had a rather interesting and disconcerting experience today, as a small business owner. I make natural bath & body products and I wholesale and retail them on the internet. I’ve been in business for nearly 13 years and occasionally I get international orders from shop owners and individuals in various locations around the globe. I have in the past primarily shipped to my overseas clients via the USPS. But today I learned that I may not be able to ship...

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Ooh…look at the calendar. No. Not at Abe Lincoln’s Birthday! Valentine’s Day is two days away. I certainly hope you already pre-ordered those flowers for your special someone. And, trust me, today is the last day for you to get the best chocolate and not the slim pickin’s you can get on the clearance rack at your local drugstore. Besides, with the recession set to hit hard and very soon, this V-Day may be your last chance to go...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
I love the weekends, but they are entirely too short, even for a gal like me whose bread and butter is made on those last fabulous days of the week. Even a party girl like me needs her beauty rest. But, alas, duty calls and I do believe a “Ten Post Round-Up” is the first thing on my “to-do” list, today. In four days it will be Valentine’s Day and, aside from a box full of Necco Sweethearts, I’ll...
Flying the Chinese-Made American Flag to Stimulate the Economy
Walking down Main Street, pushing a grocery cart loaded with clothes, toys, and appliances was Marshbaum. Fastened to the right front corner of the cart was an American flag tied onto a three-foot ruler. “Patriot!” he was calling out. “Step aside for an American patriot!” “You posing as a homeless veteran to get spare change?” I asked after almost being body-checked by the cart. “I’m doing exactly what the government told me to do,” he replied. “The government told...
Whoppi Goldberg on Why She Switched from Obama to Clinton
Via the HuffPo, Whoppi Goldberg explains why she switched from Obama to Hillary Clinton: Whoopi cited Clinton’s statement that she would end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Whoopi previously believed that Obama had made that pledge first, but apparently she was mistaken. Chalk one up for who was right first… It’s good to see some folks are paying to attention to what both of the candidates are saying and weighing things out. Apparently, watching the video,...

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Despite my self-imposed news blackout, I was still following the blogs in my Google Reader. I also have one that my readers can follow, on my own website’s sidebar. If you had been watching it throughout the evening, you would have noted that there was a lot of primary reports highlighted from most of my favorite bloggers. Which is why I am glad I had the tv set to soft, soulful, music because I’m sure that the media noise...
