The accounting is very similar. The processes are not. Small businesses continue to be special snowflakes in terms of how they do their work. Both for good and bad reasons. I’m sur…

It’s the Department of Defense

I have one I bought in 2008. My parents still use it. Replace batteries and filters. Works fine. Gets stuck on cords and in corners. So does the one I bought in September 2025.

I have a few of the THINK notepads that I found in my grandfather’s things after he passed away. He was an IBM employee in the 50s and 60s. I remember picking the first one up and …

Yes, but if your grandmother rebuffs me, I’ll think, “what the hell?”

I’m relatively new to meditation. About 5 months, most days but not all. The thing is, you don’t notice that those voices aren’t you until someone points it out. And you see it mos…
