Email from One Million Moms to Ben & Jerry's Rep: "Schweddy Balls Are (Oops "IS") Distasteful..."

Regarding the 'Schweddy Balls' debacle between the "One Million Mom's" group (who's facebook, incidentally, is only comprised of 37,800 members -Not one million) having successfully castrated "Schweddy Balls" (oops... I meant "removed") from store shelves, here is a copy of the actual template available on their website (in case you want to "take action" with them). They've gone ahead and gone through the trouble of providing a template, by which to email "Mr. Greenwood", public relations manager for Ben & Jerry's ice cream. (Coming soon, an audio version of this email, as read aloud by Hilda Dooright.) "Dear Mr. Greenwood: As a mother and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am greatly offended by Ben & Jerry's decision to use tasteless names for your flavors of ice cream. Your decision is disrespectful to me personally, and to my family. If you continue to use such poor taste and inappropriate marketing choices, I will make a conscious effort to buy from other companies. I am requesting that no additional Schweddy Balls ice cream be distributed. Also, I highly recommend you refrain from producing another batch with this name or any other offensive names, or I will no longer be able to purchase products from Ben & Jerry's. I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern." Sincerely, Your Name Here

Take Your Time to Heal...

Image
Found this picture on somebody's wall on facebook and thought I'd share. (As well as add my 2 cents, below.) That is SO much better advice than telling people to "snap out of it". I've noticed healing has always taken time. (And healing DOES occur with time.) This should be obvious when people see a plant which has been cut or pruned --it always takes some time for the plant to grow back (and low & behold, many times it's even stronger than it was before)! ;) FOR MORE BLOGS: visit http:// www.savvyschmidt.com Thanks for reading! :-) Copyright 2008-2012 Schmidt Talk, Inc.

Get Lucky

There's blind luck, where something positive happens out of the blue. Many times when we see people who happen to appear happy, they seem very "lucky" to us... Or are they? I'm starting an experiment to see how far a positive attitude can take me, and see if this action begets lucky happenstances... to remove the veil, and see if lucky occurances are largely controlled by the effort one might put forth in pursuing them. I'm solely going on observations I've made, and what appears to work. So, with no compass to follow, I'm shooting in the dark, and I'm just going to incorporate the most obvious traits of kindness and human acceptance I can think of. Here goes... Here is an outline of the following steps I've put together for my project. To help me remember these principles, most of them start with the letter L. To reiterate, this is for ease in using them for reference points, (and in case you want to play along). There is no projected end-po

Media Baby

The single least-complaining, and easy- going trooper I've been blessed to sometimes be able to bring to work with me, is my first-born daughter. And this blog is one about her. (I am currently expecting my 2nd child). Tonight is one of those such nights, where she has accompanied me on the job. It's early evening, and here she is... And we are trying mercilessly to kill time at the radio station - (my second job... a job I had to report to after spending 19 straight hours on the job at the TV station (my first job of the day). As well-behaved as any 13 year old can be expected to be, she is keeping herself busy as I work, as we try to spend the last remnant moments of our dwindling weekend squeezing any possibility of "quality time" into the confines of what has turned out to be an impossibly busy weekend... busier than usual... but, nevertheless, something we expect from time to time. Nothing new. She's been through worse with me... blizzards, floods, you n
