Today's Fit by Five: In Support of Good Friends
July 24, 2007
Lots to talk about but good friends take precedence. Get thee to these links and participate...
Susan Getgood of Marketing Roadmaps (love her Lewis Carroll quote, can't wait to see her at Blogher), is talking "A Little Perspective. " She's highlighting her 'other' blog Snapshot Chronicles where she and a couple of other bloggers, Tracey and Sheri, are partnering on a photo contest. Good prizes, including this pocket camera case. [thanks, Susan, for correcting that for me... folks, it's not the camera, it's the case, that's the prize... my bad!] Check it out at Susan's blog, and visit this link, too.
Katya Andresen is asking for folks to contribute their five...of anything. I did a post on my 5 tips for success. Check it out at Katya's new Non Profit Blog, Getting to the Point. Good stuff!
Over at the HERS Foundation, educators and doctors are intent upon educating women about hysterectomy. I was not going to post on this as I had this surgery many years ago and I feel that it saved my life, so... I'm biased FOR it, not against it. But, there is valuable information on the HERS site... for all women. And, for the men who care about them. Please check it out.
On another note, in an effort to help my gal friends (and my guy friends) with their computer problems...gad, don't we all have those! My system likes to shut down IE without notice... (now I'm in for it...all you Firefox people will be writing to tell me to switch...). Well, if you're having computer issues, or need technical support like NOW...this is the site for you: Your Tech Online. They have answers to your questions. Kudos to the young woman who has patiently been waiting for me to mention this.
I'll end today with a reminder - I'll be in Chicago at Blogher from Thursday through Sunday. We're driving there on Thursday (me and Tom and Karin - who is looking for more contributions to her calendar) and will be meeting up with all our blog buddies. Including Donna DeClemente, who manages the sweepstakes here at Lip-sticking.
If YOU plan on being there - stop us and say Hi!
Susan, will fix the post ... guess I read the prize list too fast! We'll connect at Blogher..for sure! (hey, that rhymes!) Toby, I'm so mad you won't be there! I'll keep you informed. Jane, can't wait to see you again, too!

Ooh, I'm glad you're going to BlogHer again. I'll see you there!

Yvonne - Great 5-4-5! Wish I were joining you and the wonderful women at BlogHer this year. Guess I'll just have to live vicariously via your always on-spot posts. Have fun.

Yvonne -- thanks so much for mentioning the contest and my Snapshot Chronicles blog. Can't wait to see you at BlogHer either.
just one clarification --we are giving away 3 pocket camera cases donated by Photojojo and some other prizes, but no cameras or anything like that.
