I am about to take a trip, and so I am asking you to write about your trips. Maybe you went on one that was the best ever or maybe the worst, or you went some place that changed how you look at things, it literally could be whatever, just something, even your own backyard if you are so inclined.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-91019249424692905382011-02-09T09:45:00.000-05:002011-02-09T09:45:10.868-05:00February Writing AssignmentOk I know this subject is kind of "out in left or right field". But it hit me and I had to see if other people would write about this too. What is the stupidest, craziest, silliest, thing you did as a kid? Think of it as a belittling session, or a way to get something off of your chest that you couldn't before. Mine is something(s) you simply have to see to believe. Everybody is taking lumps this month, why not you too? If you don't have anything... well, maybe you could tell us what your kids, your brother or sister, or even your friends did instead.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-14855109096266324512011-01-17T15:02:00.000-05:002011-01-17T15:02:26.566-05:00He's BackI'd like to re-welcome Alex Moody to the fold.

So I want to know one of your most favorite things to eat/drink/consume for the holidays, a recipe (if you have one), and perhaps a back-story on what makes this such a scrumptious thing in the first place. Extra points if you have pictures. So what is it about the holidays that makes it "the holidays"???<br />
<br />
As always, this is not a requirement, but more of a suggestion, some of the blogs need to have the dust blown off of them... just sayin'Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-28279756777006603292010-10-14T11:09:00.000-04:002010-10-14T11:09:01.185-04:00October Writing AssignmentI know it has been several months since I last put a writing assignment up here, I really can't say why, but it is what it is. Sorry about that. So now with the weather turning cooler, and Halloween on its way... what are you planning to do? Do you have a party you are attending or some jam up good costumes you or your spouse or your kids are wearing?

Sorry about that. So this month’s writing assignment is Vacation. Real original huh? Yeah I know, but school is out, it is hot as the dickens, and it is on my mind. Hopefully it is on yours too. So where are you going? Maybe you can’t take a vacation but you’d like to think about going to somewhere. Maybe you took one three years ago and it was something so special you must share. Whatever you decide, what was your Vacation?Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-44344055217565381222010-05-06T16:16:00.001-04:002010-05-06T16:18:46.764-04:00May Writing AssignmentOk this is hard, the whole coming up with ideas thing, I want to come up with an idea that many people will write about. Last month’s “changes” got a pretty good response. So what about a family member? Family member you say? Yep. So why don’t you write a little something about a family member? You don’t have to give out names or anything like that, but I know there are several family members that I write about from my kids, to my wife, to my siblings, to my parents. They don’t have to be living; they just have to have something interesting about them. It is mother's day coming up... but it could be anyone. So go. Write. Ok?Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-37172413652644365512010-04-08T08:39:00.000-04:002010-04-08T08:40:14.881-04:00April Writing AssignmentSo this month I thought I would ask about change. From changing your underwear (also known as drawz) to the weather, to a new job, to well just about anything. So what is changing in your world? Surely you change your underwear (drawz) but what else? You could get political, you could get more domestic, you could talk fashion, whatever, it is your blog and so the only person you have to worry about pleasing is you. Just sayin'.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-48001016889048162652010-01-15T08:59:00.000-05:002010-01-15T09:00:30.235-05:00January Writing AssignmentOk so it is January, Christmas is done, I don't really see a reason to be cold anymore, bring on summer... maybe. What will you do now that the holidays are over? Are you like me and look for summer or perhaps you like the cold.

Again, these writing assignments are designed (by a committee of myself) to give people something to write about, and perhaps let the reader know a little something about you that they didn't know.<br /></span></span>Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-73119103265642897002009-07-29T20:34:00.003-04:002009-07-30T06:52:25.540-04:00New MemberIt has been awhile, but I'm proud to say we have a new member to our ranks.

There really was no May writing assignment so we're skipping right to June.<br /><br />So... what are you going to do with your summer? are you going on vacation anywhere? a concert? Are you staying home because of the economy? Perhaps you already went somewhere, or someplace you want to go, but can't. So what are you doing this summer? Reading a book? or traveling around the world? Let me know...Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-2336766892635783002009-04-29T09:13:00.003-04:002009-04-29T09:30:16.692-04:00April Writting AssigmentYes I know it's really almost May, but anyway, some folks haven't been keeping up with their blog anyhow. I know we get busy, or "life" happens, and that is good, but maybe if I could gently prod you into to writing well, you know.<br /><br />It is time for another writing project, what is it you say? I want to know your guilty pleasure. That is, something you do or like that for all intents and purposes you really shouldn't, but you do anyway. So what is your guilty pleasure? We'll compare notes and take the test... ok not really, but still, I think this is a way to let everyone know what makes you tick.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-78083131402678422032009-03-27T11:46:00.003-04:002009-03-27T11:58:36.842-04:00Two New BlogsI have two blogs to add.<br /><br />First is <a href="http://lowcountryarchitect.blogspot.com/">Lowcountry Architect </a><br /><br />and second is <a href="http://chaser-dragoon.blogspot.com/">how prudent.</a> <br /><br />Check them out, kick the tires, and comment away.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-30021712724863545332009-03-03T12:00:00.003-05:002009-03-03T12:14:49.065-05:00March Writing AssignmentOk... I have a new writing assignment. This is one that will be easy for me, but I want others to get the bug too. Basically whether it's just going in your backyard, or traveling across the country I want you to not only write about it but take pictures as well. It could be a trip to the bathroom (if you really think that's interesting) or a trip to Disney World. I'm thinking that most will have something in between, but you never know.<br /><br />I've made some <a href="http://poolpooping.blogspot.com/search/label/Photo%20Blog">trips</a> recently myself. You can use them as a profile if you'd like. I'd say 1-5 pictures and some commentary... who knows you could introduce somebody to something they didn't even know they liked. Got it? Good.<br /><br />Also if anyone has a blog or knows of a blog, please get the information to me, I'm always looking for new material.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-56695055165679789762009-02-03T12:20:00.004-05:002009-02-03T13:47:47.842-05:00Writing ProjectOk I have got to do something.... The Blog Jam has been pretty slim pickins' lately. I don't know if that is because of the economy, or weather, or what... So I'm issuing an assignment of sorts.<br /><br />Either list or display what is on your Ipod. You might be saying, "But I don't have an Ipod", well tough, ok not really, then list some songs that you would put on your Ipod, if you had one. A few songs, maybe a video, really let your imagination run wild. Label it "Writing Project" and we'll take it from there.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-60300948229849213662009-01-02T10:08:00.002-05:002009-01-02T10:11:47.917-05:00A New Year A New MemberI'd like to issue another member or is that members a heartfelt welcome, and a thank you as this person actual contacted me a few week ago, it's just that I was sick, and Christmas, and everything else.

I'm talking about write something about Christmas, your Christmas that you do. For instance, my wife's big dinner is on Christmas Eve, and it's made up of 7 fish dishes. Now I think that is some kind of Northeastern/Catholic thing, but who knows? And the wife is not Italian, more like Lithuanian, so I don't know. What different kinds of things do you do? write a blog (on your own blog) and label it as "Holiday Traditions" and we'll see. <br /><br />Also I have another blog to add in another day or so...Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621061317808571548.post-41650728227816081082008-11-26T06:34:00.002-05:002008-11-26T06:37:58.564-05:00Blog SubjectsOk, The blog subject of the day/week/month whatever went over pretty good.

Our first subject will be....<br /><br />Holiday Traditions<br /><br />I'm feeling kind of swept up in it all, so let me have it!

Sorta'I know that this place only updates when we have a new member. Well was thinking about perhaps putting up a subject and having everyone post on it.
