EPIC tweaking.
I am rapidly learning that that phrase is shorthand for OH GOD OH GOD MY EYES PLEASE STAB ME A THOUSAND TIMES WITH A PITCHFORK INSTEAD.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

bonny, slight error in the second paragraph in the blast email "with you finances and in your career".

Oh crap. Thanks Epic. I really should get editing before the fact because there are ALWAYS errors like that. Most of the time, I am pretty sanguine about being dyslexic. It's stuff like this that makes me crazy.
And I apologize for taking your name in vain.
And, yes, Erin...stabbity stab stab.
I connected with the head of tech at CC, so now I get even better service when I need help with the tweaking. And the evolutionary process of their design wizard has been really good.

I have a question about wording.
I want to check in with a financial planner I met with last week to see if he has come up with any referrals for me.
I don't want to be pushy, but I want to be pushy because I need those referrals, he said he might have some and I don't want him to forget me.
My initial impulse is to link him to a couple of blog posts about money communication.
What can I say that doesn't sound desperate?

My pleasure. I can't turn it off, so I'm glad to put the grammar/spelling/typo nazi to good use. (I was trying to not use "nazi" there, but couldn't come up with another word to convey what I was going for. Hmm. t /Natter ).
And I apologize for taking your name in vain.
Hee. It did catch my eye, though. So I guess it worked for the best.
edited to fix tag/paren error that would have driven everyone mad

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
This doesn't feel like self-improvement month; it feels like gin rickey month.

I don't think you need to specifically remind him about the referrals. Just send the articles and say something like, "I thought you might find these helpful."

Thanks.

My oldest friend opted out of my mailing list today.
A fact that has no particular meaning, and yet, I'm bummed.
Sheesh. I try to provide decent content, but is just goes nowhere.
Feh.
If I knew the right thing to do, I'd do it, dammit!

bonny, maybe she opted out of the list because she visits your site a lot, and her in-box is just getting too much stuff from all her internet stuff to keep up with?
