#ff @TWDittmer #coffee and #retirement #humor

A conversation with my brother Tim Dittmer, aka TWDittmer, only slightly altered to fit this venue:
Tim- Been hard at it since 6:30. Time for more coffee. Some folks think it's easy, but bein' retired is tough.
Me- How did you get it all done when you were working?
Tim- I had some time/motion people come in and make an assessment. You have to work really smart at this coffee drinking. No wasted effort.

#guykawasaki #enlightened by #googleplus

I was about to click off the computer when I came across an article about Guy Kawasaki, a photographer, blogger, venture capitalist, and author who has a huge social internet following. He writes about things I'm interested in, so I follow him closely.
It was written by Fast Company, a magazine I follow (I'm too cheap to subscribe) because of their innovative, forward thinking.
The subject was Guy's new book about Google Plus, a subject I'm deeply involved in, WHAT THE PLUS!? It's available in My Amazing Amazon eStore through this link.



These 3 converging forces, Guy Kawasaki, Fast Company, and Google Plus have produced an article I must pass on.

Meaning of #hashtags #rmdo #rmdc #blogtips

Hash tags are a tool for micro blogging much like the more antiquated LABELS in blogging. Hash tags serve both the writer to sort his material and the reader to find a category.
You can invent a hash tag, as I have done with two, #rmdo and #rmdc. Be sure to double check it before you use it extensively to see if it's popular for another subject.
Hash tags are useful in 3 venues: Twitter, Google Plus, and Google Search.
It is EXTREMELY helpful for the micro blogger to study hash tags.  Observe the use of hash tags by writers, especially mini posters. Enter a few popular subjects into the Google Plus and Twitter search engine boxes, such as #humor, #funny, #science, #politics and observe.
What do my hash tags #rmdo and #rmdc mean? I thought you'd never ask!
RMD  is an abbreviation of my online handle revmaddog1948 - hence rmd. (I've added the 1948 because there is more than one Rev Mad Dog) #rmdo is put on my short original quotes. I was surprised and delighted to find out how much readers enjoyed them on Twitter. 
#rmdo separates my original quotes from other quotes from other authors that I have collected; hence the hash tag #rmdc . 
#rmdo = Rev Mad Dog's Originals. #rmdc = Rev Mad Dog's Collection.
Some of my original quotes may sound similar to other famous quotes. If I had to spend some time shortening a quote to make it fit Twitter, I claimed it for my own.
If you're interested in my quotes or my collection, try it out.

The Definition of Normal #humor #rmdc

I recently posted: I never claimed to be normal.
My Facebook friend responded:
I'm not even looking for the definition - Shari Hardway Johnson
If you get a moment, stop by her website, http://www.thejesuschick.com/
and look for her excellent post:

Arthur Godfrey - Building #Dreams #artistry #tvhistory



I wrote a note to a GooglePlus friend, Emily Harding, an artist, who wants to live her dream more. MUCH MORE. I wrote her a note.
Emily, the artist always has 3 choices: 1. pick a team you admire deeply, work for them, and build your dream part time. 2. perfect your skills to the point where it's in demand. Learn to live on nothing till then. 3. The Arthur Godfrey approach. Use your artistic skills to sell stuff you believe in. That's my approach.
You are a child of God. You were created to do things you love to do. Prioritize.. yes. Give up? - never.

Ironic #socialinternet #antisocial #humor #rmdo

Ironic: so many delightful social internet friends ( for which I'm truly thankful) make me feel anti social.

Going back to bed #cutekitty #funnypic #humor #rmdc

Stayed up late with Mary. We watched The Avengers one last time at AMC in Livonia MI. I'm tired and I'm going back to bed.
