First, the confession: I have not been posting because I've moved again, so I am still slightly Mayflowered out.

And then I also need to solve the mess I made as an avowed blogaholic---someone who makes blogs and makes so many of them loaded with so many posts that I no longer know which blog is which, where I should post or even why. (I do this excessively because it's fun. Go figure.)
As of this morning, I counted 13 blogs on Wordpress and Typepad along with too many domain names stored up at Network Solutions. I made blogs for Cranky Pants, my grandkid posse and my house, for my rebel side, my health writer side and the self who is a newspaper columnist. I also have one for business writing---Words 2 Go---that's my corporate communicator who is now ghost-writing business blogs---and though I have not yet made one for my plants, that might be coming.
As penance for going AWOL and as a plea for forgiveness, I hereby offer the humor of one T. Marni Vos, a speaker with a gilt-edged sense of fun. (If you like this compilation, check out her website---www.tmarnivos.com.) I know from experience that Marni can even make a dying man laugh. She mightily amused our friend, Fred, shortly before he passed last December.
So heeeere's Marni's roundup on the recession....

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.
From Mel--stay warm and happy... and know I am busy unclogging the blogs.
