What Not to Do Wednesday: An Apology, I Think

by

Never let it be said that Cathy C. Hall can’t admit when she’s wrong. Thank goodness, I’m never wrong. But it’s a possibilty that I was wrong. So I will issue the possibility of an apology.

Let’s say that I lambasted (you heard me, LAMBASTED) a contest site for being “fishy” or not on the up-and-up or as an out and out scam. Then, only a few days later, let’s say I heard from this very same contest site, apologizing for not responding to my email FOUR months ago. Something about an accident, which as the saying goes, do happen.

I was assured that the contest would get back on track as soon as possible. But so far, nothing. Perhaps the contest really will get back on track. And then my previous WNTDW post won’t be nearly as effective.

Thank goodness, I didn’t mention the contest by name. On the other hand, I’m not holding my breath waiting for good news. (The possibilities are endless.)

Tooting My Horn Tuesday About Senior Living Magazine (Yes, Senior)

by

After sending I-don’t-know-how-many queries out into Market Land, one finally paid off.

Senior Living Magazine, distributed primarily in North Georgia (though I came across it in my neck of the woods), accepted one of my columns for the May issue. I was hoping the column would be available online, but alas, not all the contents from the issue are transferred to the online magazine.

That’s okay. I know it’s there. And Sally knows it’s there, too. Come to think of it, now you do, too. Here’s hoping the folks who read Senior Living like “I Ain’t Afraid of No Solicitors” by Cathy C. Hall. (I know Mr. Hall really liked that column; he laughed all over again when he read it in Senior Living…or maybe he’s just more senior than I thought!)
