Stick to the facts that you can verify through more than one source. Try to verify that the editor is having an affair and use that to get paid for your work. <BR/><BR/>Sex, Drugs, and Rock and roll are good topics. Steer clear of politics, religion and sports. Those three piss people off. <BR/><BR/>Start a public anit soy campaign. Maybe make your first column titled..

However, one thing that IS an issue here is discrimination, racism -probably mainly because we are pretty much out of the loop and have very few who live here who aren't white, much less from other ethnic groups. But, because of that, many around here hold to their old ways that those "different" should "go back where they came from" to which I once asked a local who was, like me, of dual ethnic ancestry, if he'd figured out which country he would return to - Slovakia or Sweden as I was having a hard time trying to figure out if I should go "back" to Sweden or Scotland. Needless to say, he didn't see the irony there. Nor do many people, not just here, but across the country in that unless we would happen to be 100% Native American, we are all "interlopers" in a manner of speaking.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-5631322664944516612007-08-11T09:54:00.000-04:002007-08-11T09:54:00.000-04:00Can you clarify something for me?

So I'm wondering how/why illegal immigration would be your first topic. Is there some problem with immigration in and around your community? It strikes me that the topic seems a bit harsh for the very first column.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought, take or leave it, of course.lattégirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428087458207367848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-84612152737677157762007-08-11T08:23:00.000-04:002007-08-11T08:23:00.000-04:00I'm so excited about your upcoming newspaper colum...I'm so excited about your upcoming newspaper column - - you're gonna have a blast doing that :)Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-12835639369856696852007-08-11T00:22:00.000-04:002007-08-11T00:22:00.000-04:00Thanks for stopping by Pole Hill!The newspaper col...Thanks for stopping by Pole Hill!<BR/><BR/>The newspaper column seems to be a ready-made opportunity. Nothing wrong with mining your blog for material during the slow times, either - most of your little paper's readers probably aren't reading your blog anyway. Pick out your best stuff, fine-tune it, and send it to the paper. Good luck!dr sardonicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198551434246302063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-27671183170893949492007-08-10T23:58:00.000-04:002007-08-10T23:58:00.000-04:00Best of luck on your new venture and it's good you...Best of luck on your new venture and it's good you've got a little over a month before that first deadline. If you can do so, it's always a good idea to have a couple stories "in the can" as it were just in case you get sick or something. Can't wait to hear how that goes for you. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like it's a small world there at the diner!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-89054260553976218592007-08-10T22:22:00.000-04:002007-08-10T22:22:00.000-04:00I don't know you...but your words were very kind t...I don't know you...but your words were very kind to me. For that I thank you. I'm Keith...the guy you found through Dave the Lawyer. For some reason he stumbled upon my blog. I then entered his little contest and ended up winning. He sent me a check for $75 and asked me to by the orphans ice cream. My wife and I support an orphanage in Mexico. I cashed that check and posted pictures on my blog of me buying them all ice cream at a little ice cream stand in Imuris, Sonora, Mexico. Then you found me through him. What a small world huh?<BR/><BR/>Your ex-husband sounds like a very good man. Thanks for the kind words you said about me...but more importantly what you said about him. I'm am so glad he got sober. What a blessing. I was married once before and am estranged from my daughter from my first marriage. I did nothing less than abandon her really. I keep praying for the day that we may one day reunite. She is 23 now. I have told her my story but she is at this time unwilling to forgive me. I accept that, as it was not her fault. I do believe that one day we will reconcile. But if that day never comes? I can accept that too and move on knowing that I am sober now. <BR/><BR/>Again, thank you for your kind words. You are from PA. That is where my wife is from. The beuatiful town of Shenandoah in Schuykill County. God's country man! <BR/><BR/>Be well my friend, and take care of all of those kids and grandkids. They are a blessing in your life I am sure.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751608263311019166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-53644439204459093512007-08-10T19:14:00.000-04:002007-08-10T19:14:00.000-04:00I'm excited for you.
