Coming Soon – Skill Platforms from your Learning System Provider
Automatic Pot Stirrers. Until yesterday, I had no idea this even existed, and only learned about it (a learning experience) from an Uncommon Goods catalog. I saw it, and thought this is a clever idea. I then did what folks who see products that think “maybe I’ll buy it” go online to do comparision pricing.…
Halloween Edition: Tricks and Treats
Spirit, That’s me Hi I’m Spirit. Dad isn’t around, so I am taking over. At least, until Voodoo, my brother comes back, and then see ya. Anyway, Dad walked away, and I wanted to tell you all the wonderful things I love to do on Halloween. Whine like a Banshee is fun. Then, Dad gives…
Platinum Picks for 2021
Growing up, Platinum always seemed this word, that well, I couldn’t really figure out. Oh sure, I experienced it in Chemistry (why are Chem teachers always so weird?). Excluding that, I was left in a daze. When my sister got engaged her ring was platinum. At that moment, I knew that platinum must mean pricey,…
Why did you buy your learning system?
We all believe we make the right decisions. Sure, there are times we second guess ourselves afterward, for any number of reasons. Some due to a last-minute, “I need this” near the checkout lane. Others, a “well I did the research, but I am having second thoughts,”. Perhaps it is an intensive search, analysis, comparison,…
What should we do?
Where to go. That’s where I was this morning, actually the day before. Normally, I have an idea of what to write. Other times, an epiphany that zings into my brain on the day of the post. Then there are “this is what I will write” only to change my mind at the last second.…

Let the Rants Begin – Learning System Edition
If anyone has had a concussion and then suffered through post-concussion, you will likely bounce over onto the internet and see all those “medical experts”. Apparently, it can be resolved in one month. Wait, no, three months. Hold on. Perhaps a year or more. For me, it has lasted nearly three months, which allows one…
