Lazy marketing

August 23, 2023

I’m taking a break from writing about our wonderful Old Quebec vacation to do a little rant. My latest pet peeve is what I call lazy marketing. I have been getting emails from companies wanting to do business with me. Since each email is worded pretty much the same, I know these companies must do […]

Beware of WordPress spammers and AI bots

July 12, 2023

WordPress and Akismet do a great job of capturing the most egregious spam comments, but some do manage to slip through. The latest is AI bots crawling the web and making spam comments. I fell prey to this scheme. The comments sounded innocuous enough but they kept coming! An AI chatbot is a computer program […]

The guys are back

April 13, 2022

Our beloved little friends, Sir Oliver, Toby and Sir Angus are back with a very special message for Mr. Ken. It was Mr. Ken’s birthday earlier this week. Happy birthday to my dear husband. 🙂 A special thanks for one of Mr. Ken’s friends for photoshopping this image.

It is “BearTime”

February 23, 2022

Sir Oliver, Sir Angus and Toby are very concerned about their beloved Queen’s health after hearing that she tested positive for COVID. They wish they were back home so they could cheer her up! They decided that the second best thing would be to post this photo on Nancy’s blog and hope that it goes […]

Bears and more bears

Our beloved little guys, Sir Oliver, Sir Angus and Toby are as busy as ever. This past week, they had fun watching a video about baby bears. Baby bears are almost as cute as baby chipmunks! In case you’d like a smile today, here is a YouTube video about baby bears. The video the guys […]

Onyx Media Belgium – how NOT to do marketing

Comments Off on Onyx Media Belgium – how NOT to do marketing

Okay, time for another rant about really, really annoying marketing. Once again it is about idiots who think that annoying someone with multiple emails will mean that one will do business with them. Shame on you Onyx Media Belgium! Not only have you been sending multiple emails to me, but you are sending these emails […]

Breathing a sigh of relief

July 28, 2021

To say it has been a long 19 months is an understatement. As we slowly start to come out of shut down and COVID scares, life is returning to normal. But old habits die hard, I still wear a mask when I go in stores or anywhere indoors; I keep supply of disinfectant wipes in […]

Music of the sixties – the British invasion

June 16, 2021

I love music, especially the music of the sixties. I consider myself very fortunate to have been at the right age to fully witness this wonderful decade, jam packed with great music from incredibly talented performers. Many of them are now true legends in the world of music. Names like Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Simon […]

Social media faux pas

April 4, 2018

Okay, so social media is here to stay. But it seems it is degenerating into quick hits. A few recent experiences got me thinking about how little thought we put into what we say on social media. 1. Why connect. I’m a big LinkedIn user, since it is more for professional use. I am always […]

Awful marketing

September 27, 2017

What ever happened to honesty and integrity? I know, I know, I am asking a rhetorical question, but two recent incidents really got me thinking. By now, you all must have heard of the Equifax data breach. At least 143 million names, birthdates and social security numbers were stolen by hackers getting into Equifax. Now […]
