Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

Did you hear about this? Was in the news a couple of weeks ago.  PA wants to charge fees for those residents that have a blog!!!

   The city of Philadelphia wants bloggers to pay $300 for a business license, even if they haven’t made any money from their work. To put it mildly, this is probably not the best way to attract members of the creative class. It also seems like a good example of what happens when you take laws that were meant to apply to street peddlers and apply them to people who “work in” Philadelphia in only the least important sense of the phrase. Philly’s excellent City Paper reports: See complete article here.

I believe the majority of the book blogging community make $0.00 from their blogs. It is done mainly as a hobby and to connect with others that love to read. Personally, I would be torn. Would you continue blogging if a fee were to become mandatory? Would you be willing to pay? If so, how much?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject!!! Let’s have a Slapdash Discussion

Diamondearrings.org contacted me and asked if I would try and review their earrings, and being female the answer was YES!!!!  I received the package within a couple of days and couldn’t wait to see what they looked like.  First thing I noticed was the velvety jewelry box they came in.  And then…..I opened it…..and there were sparkling, nice sized, princess cut earrings.  This is an actual picture:

  We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.

My Answer:
I am not a tv person unless it is cable news.  I enjoy watching Anderson Cooper and Larry King.  Anderson Cooper appears to be a genuine down to earth and caring person.  I was surprised when I had heard that his mother is a VanderBilt.  I have great respect for him especially when he puts himself in harm’s way for journalism.  As far as Larry King, for interviewing so many famous, infamous and interesting individuals.

And for books…there are so many and it depends on what I am reading.  If there is a male main character that I feel comes to life and I can relate to, then he becomes a favorite.  But one stands out and that is the Alex Cross character in James Patterson’s books.
