I also had some difficulty on Saturday with swallowing issues. And a hangnail.
We’re constantly on the lookout for talented designers on our platform we think can really shine within the Zazzle marketplace. We want to let you know we’ve recently reviewed many of your products and we’re definitely fans!
Zazzle apparently loves my designs so much they want to begin featuring them on their home page. ON THEIR FUCKING HOME PAGE! Zazzle has tens of thousands of designers with stores like mine, so to be noticed like this is really, really huge. However … before they start showcasing my products on their home page (and to help me earn even more dough), they suggest that I re-review and “strengthen” all the metadata — titles, descriptions and keyword tags — that I submit with every product posted for sale. Toward that end they included a link to some voluminous and tedious instructional reading material on their website.
Holy mother of crap. If grabbing a spot on Zazzle’s home page requires a re-do of all my metadata, I’m screwed. There’s no way I have the time (or inclination) to rewrite titles, multi-sentence descriptions and search engine keywords for almost 2,000 products in The Howdygram Store. Keep in mind … I already spend a great deal of time doing exactly that … so how much additional effort do they want from me?
After reading through all of Zazzle’s articles tonight I decided that, going forward, I can’t and won’t do anything differently, because I’m unable to discern what the hell they’re talking about. I’m a designer, not an IT expert. I don’t plan to waste any precious time studying, reading, reviewing and/or rewriting ANYTHING. Jesus.
But thank you anyway, Zazzle, for the honor and distinction!
The Winds of War and War and Remembrance were both addictive reads for me. I bought them when they first appeared in bookstores in the 1970s and couldn’t put them down. Both books were about World War II — before, during and after — with the same cast of characters. Wouk himself served in the Navy from 1942 to 1946 and was stationed in the South Pacific. He served as an officer aboard two destroyer minesweepers, the USS Zane and USS Southard, the same type of vessel he wrote about in The Caine Mutiny. Wouk participated in eight invasions and won a number of battle stars.

And while you’re trying not to poison your family, you also might consider throwing out any bags of Aldi’s Baker’s Corner All-Purpose Flour hanging around in your kitchen pantry.
Victims interviewed by the CDC said they ate, licked or tasted raw, homemade dough or batter made with flour or baking mixes from Aldi. Why the hell would anybody eat or lick RAW DOUGH?!
The recalled flour was sold at Aldi locations in 11 states on the east coast, including Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia.
If you live here in Texas, I guess it’s safe to lick raw dough to your heart’s content!
Thank you for reading this. I think I’ll remember the Alamo for a couple of minutes and then get back to my greeting card designs. Shalom.
