TalkBiz News
Issue for August 26, 2010
Today&#8217;s issue gets into some things I think everyone who uses computers or cell phones needs to consider. This is serious stuff, and it&#8217;s important. Feel free to share this with anyone you like, including publishing it anywhere [...]]]></description>

Joy to Robbie:
I think I asked you this before but I don&#8217;t remember.

		<description><![CDATA[I guess I can say I have another sister now. Well, she&#8217;s an in-law, but it&#8217;s pretty close.
My brother Andrew married Andrea. They both have used the name Andy for years.
It was interesting, with Hank not wearing his reading glasses and Andy dropping the ring.

A good time was had by all.

We had a pretty big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve heard that saying &#8220;I know it like the back of my hand&#8221;?
I can&#8217;t relate. There are so many grooves and furrows and twists and turns that if I was a bug that had to cross that terrain, I would be lost for a long while.
I think the texture and patterns are fascinating. I couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

After catching what fish he could, Steve has stepped in to see what the matter is.

He worked hard to get to the bottom of things.

Just a little scrubbing will make this pond [...]]]></description>

Apparently the major event of the holiday season is on Christmas eve. We heard plenty of fireworks, which increased near midnight and continued for [...]]]></description>

It didn&#8217;t stick all morning, and then it piled up a little bit.

This dog is very much at home with the chickens and doesn&#8217;t chase them, unlike the last dog.
