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.
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.

).
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
What can I say that doesn't sound desperate?
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."
Check. Desperation talk duly redacted.
Just the two links and a hearty, Enjoy!
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?
Rather than grammar nazi, how about grammar dominatrix?
Erin, my friend is fairly prominent on the 'net and I'm assuming he has enough to deal with in his inbox, but it was still a little sad making.
After giving it some thought, a fairly significant epiphany came to me. (are there any INsignificant epiphanies?)
Lots of people are uncomfortable with talking about money. Given the issues that I've had myself, it makes sense that I would have populated my life with people of similar views.
My friends are not my client base, so it makes sense that they would not want to hear about this stuff.
Given this, I need to find the people for whom what I have to offer is a value.
I just wish I knew the best way to do that...like, now.
But more than anything, I realize that I have to STOP looking backward for my support. That's a tough one.
bonny, that's a positive realization.
I know we talked about posting on blogs, and this is a nice, positive, woman-run, female-oriented website I subscribed to for my own money issues: [link]

What about blogging on BlogHer? I've only posted one post there, and I got a few hits.
