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.

People Who Try to Make Difference
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  Today 3:42 PM   
 While we cannot "save the whole world," I am from the school of thought that we should do everything "where we live" to make that place as good as it possibly can be...by our positive actions and interactions with others. Here are some people who are taking it upon themselves to "Meet-Up" and try to make a difference in the world they live in. I like what they have to say about the matter... It's refreshing to actually put a face on human compassion and giving nature. It's also "interesting" how the Fall Season and certain "holiday" times of the year bring about an awareness of the need to "help others" - that's great, but not to be overlooked is the fact that there are individuals who need assistance all year long from other people who already "have it together" a little bit better than they do, and can give needed direction and attention to those less fortunate. I find myself right now absolutely swamped with "charity stuff". We call October "the start of charity month

What does "Love and Light" Mean?
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  Today 2:03 AM   
 I always get emails signed "with Love and Light" and wondered exactly what does this mean. This explanation helps us understand the concept a little better. It's an interesting perspective, as we were always taught the opposite of "love and light" is "sin and darkness" and other wicked stuff. Well, in some cultures, and tribal cultures especially, there is no evil associated with the "darkness" other than that it is the necessary part of and opposite of the light - we need both and both serve a purpose.

The East Coast Condo Bible

 I just found the mother load of east coast condo living, quite by accident, at that! Every year my hubby and I make the journey to our favorite condo destination for two weeks of nothing but GLORY. We go to our condo in Perdido Key, Gulf Shores. We call it "Our Blue Heaven". White sand. Clean beaches. Good Neighbors. Lately, our vacation time has come later in the year during inclement weather. I was looking for an affordable place to take a holiday...and poof - I found the honey-pot of all condo living sites. This company has few places to rent that are near and dear to my heart like "ILoveFolly Beach.com" - what a find. It's like the east caost condo bible. Everything you always wanted to know about traveling to a southern beach vacation condo...and then some.

 What are the students saying about Greg Mathis Charter School? Senior Monique Johnson is in her second year at Greg Mathis and is slated to graduate in May. She could've gone to her neighborhood high school, but she said her focus wasn't as good in a large school. Greg Mathis has smaller classes that help her to concentrate on class, she said. "It's been a blessing because I really had nowhere else to go," she said.

Greg Mathis Charter School - SC Public Schools, Charleston County

by onlinedesign  10-5-2008   
 SC Charter Schools are Public Schools. They are open to all students, anyone who wants to go there is welcome. Greg Mathis Charter School - SC Public Schools, Charleston County - is having open enrollment. You can go there to get help at any time during the school year. There is no out of pocket expense for parents who need to send their child to a smaller, more dedicated classroom. If your child is having trouble in conventional Charleston County public schools, then you can call on Greg Mathis Charter School (Public School) and speak with Mr. Sellers, Principal. Mr. Sellers is a very nice Gentleman. He will answer your questions and if they cannot help you for some reason, rest assured, they will direct you to someone who can. After speaking with Mr. Sellers today, I am deeply convinced that Greg Mathis Charter School of N. Charleston, SC exists ONLY to serve and educate our children with pride, honor, and respect for literacy in South Carolina.

The Best Moral Practices of a Leader
onlinedesign
by onlinedesign  10-5-2008    1
 I came a cross this article about a SC school superintendent who got pregnant out of wedlock during her watch over a school system that has tremendous problems with teen pregnancy. Some wanted her resignation. Others championed her defense. If that incident leads to some to shout, "Credibility Lost - you don't have the right to lead" - then what of a Vice President, potential Leader of the Free World, not being able to manage her own Family, and producing a pregnant teenager? How can you raise up a Nation when you cannot even raise up and protect your own children? Well, teenagers are sneaky and have a mind of their own. Perhaps US Gov. Palin, the Mother of FIVE kids ought to hire a nanny to watch her kids since she cannot supervise and protect her own brood. Why is it okay to add yet another teen pregnanacy to our Nation's ills? Should all officials in high office be expected to lead by example? Are these just old fashioned ideals of the past? When did we lower

Gas Shortage in South Carolina - Update

 The Southeast is served by the Colonial Pipeline that is the primary supplier for North and South Carolina. Matters of fact, two pipelines carry fuel from the Gulf of Mexico and because the gasoline moves from 3 to 5 mph, it can take days to reach southern cities. "I was just in Atlanta yesterday. There is no gasoline in Atlanta, in Charlotte, in Chattanooga. It's like a Third World country," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said last Sunday on ABC.
