Take Me Off Your Mailing List – February 13, 2023

by Tulis McCall | Monday Musings

Since making a few donations I have been inundated with requests for more money. It is as if the sluice gates of the gift giving world were thrown open and aimed at me.... This is just plain cheesy. What if a bartender did that? "Thanks for the tip and I’m right here in case you want to up it." I don't think so.

    Well done, Tulis. If I might add, a pet peeve of mine is that ALL those organizations and a million more (including the NFL and the PGA) are no profits! Paying no taxes and employing people who annoy you by sending more requests out.

    Tulis, you have either created a new form or elevated an old one to a new level.
    Always delightful, insightful and just a little spiteful. 😉

    What really frustrates me is that it seems that my entire donation is spent not in the actual cause, but on these mailings! Most of the time I feel like my contribution just makes the donor list longer for lobbying efforts!

March Madness – And The Women are WHERE Exactly? March 20, 2023

Is it possible that the women are not given equal opportunity to be seen on national television because they are, well, just women athletes? Good Gravy – could that be? Could something as blatant as public media snubbing of hundreds of college athletes be allowed to happen? And no one is commenting on it? Not even Scott Simon?

A Budget? You Kidding Me? March 13, 2023

Do you have a budget? I have never had a budget. I don’t know from budgets. I don’t want a budget. But I find myself being cornered into making one – whip and chair in hand. We call this – Wake-Up Call: The Advanced Course. I will be leaving my day job within a few months. I have seen the wagons circling for quite a while, but it is a different ball of wax when everyone parks it and hops down for a chat.

Go Ahead. Stick Your Neck Out. March 6, 2023

Let’s face it – we ALL know we are there when things go wrong. Did you ever notice that you are always there when things go right?
Every good thing? It’s because you stuck your neck out. Grand gestures. Teeny tiny ways. Things you did that you don’t even notice. Well, notice! Give yourself some credit, pal.
