Shopping Tips and Guidance by Mandy Claire

I have been told to join a group blog using my Google account. This is a professional blog that I am supposed to join.

I am not going to do it. I've been with Blogger since 2005, I like Blogger -- no offense to you WordPress folks out there -- and this is my thing, right here.

I have made a point not to talk about my work here at this site. And I know that this blog can be seen by anyone in the world. But to link it purposefully to a work-related site. eeeek. Not gonna happen.

I was here first with "The Gods Are Bored." If having this blog and not being willing to contribute to another (save through anonymous comments that will be lengthy and signed at the end) means I'll get fired, then phooey. Start filling out the pink slip.

My many close friends among the bored gods --with the possible exception of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who wants to be written into classroom curriculum -- feel that matters of church and state should remain separate. I'm not relocating my religion blog because some educational consultant got the bright idea to open up a site on Blogger.

HERE you will find "The Gods Are Bored." I like it here. Feels like home.

All hail the Sacred Thunderbird, etc. etc. You know the drill, and the drill is HERE.
