  • The “Good” Part of Halloween

    That little orange box was as much a part of the night as the costume and makeup we layered on.
    At each house we went to, we proudly held out our little boxes as a chorus of “UNICEF” echoed through the doorway.
    Halloween may have a distasteful heritage, but UNICEF claimed the night for good [...]

  • Do you Chat on Forums?

    Blogging is all consuming I know, but I was wondering if any of you visit forums too?
    The first forum I visited, long before I began to work online, was a forum in Tracy Hogg’s Baby Whisperer website. (I went to see if it was still active even after Tracy’s passing and it is.)
