By Theresa H Hall, on October 12th, 2011 "Surc can make life easier"
Michail Kalman knows something about the next generation of remotes and it’s looking pretty good for the rest of us. The new Apple Application (developed from Michail’s need) is sleek, modern and right on time. Get Surc explains everything you need to know in order to make a well-informed decision. The strategy touches on a real challenge most of us face when trying to harness the media air-waves, by juggling too many remote controls, and the end result is a product that will make our lives more organized and a lot easier. Let’s meet the man who admits to being “The Accidental Entrepreneur”.
Me: Michail please tell us what you were doing before you became involved with
Get Surc. What field of work were you doing before you decided to retire?
"The Accidental Entrepreneur"
Michail: I was retired after forty-five years of working in a few different careers. I had been in project management specializing in the Soviet Navy, also International Banking and textile manufacturing, and for the last twenty-five years, in healthcare management and consulting. Three days into my retirement, I met . . . → Read More: Retiring Into The Future
By Theresa H Hall, on August 31st, 2011 "Guy" by Jay.Me Art
Jay.Me Art hails from the Houston, Texas area and she is involved with art on a whole different level from traditional artists. When it comes time to clean up, there aren’t any messy oil cloths or paint spatters on her floor or workspace. All she need do is put away any pencils and art papers, or simply close her computer and walk away. Plus, Jay.me is savvy enough to include and use all kinds of new artsy-technical devices. She begins with a blank screen to point-and-click and air brush her designs into beautifully constructed works of art. Specifically, Jay.Me has the presence of mind to take today’s computer-programs and use them to her benefit. She is highly skilled and if you take the time to view her art videos, you’ll become inwardly excited by how she accomplishes her drawings, as she extracts and coaxes these tools to her best advantage.
Jay.Me is cleverly innovative in her thinking and it is in this way that she designs her personable subjects. Just looking at them one can easily see how she has breathed life into their very existence. Their personality is written . . . → Read More: Visually Jay.Me Art Is Picture Perfect

The Definition of Leisure
Many things get better with age and people are among the top contenders in this category. While age has its drawbacks on the body (we are only here but a short while), age on the mind makes us keener, more interesting, more knowledgeable and frankly, less attention- grabbing. Age makes most of us better and with age comes wisdom. Adults have more moxie and can choose options with a more practiced-eye. They usually have better stories to tell and are granted pretty much free reign in their speech. If you ask an adult what they think they might just tell you.
The Grand People in this world are full of vim and vigor, have great opinions to share, and have recently become a united front in the fashion and paparazzi field.

By Theresa H Hall, on August 25th, 2011 This lady is sultry, deliciously intriguing, intelligent, well-spoken, mystical, mysterious and a wonderful writer. If you haven’t visited her yet, then you’re in for a treat. She has opinions, isn’t afraid to voice them, she has quick wit and a gracefully beautiful style. Her name is so brilliant that Hollywood should be calling her! Style is something she can easily teach to those willing to read her words which are a well-blended version of experience, tastes, her eclectic sense of what is interesting and a wisdom many only wished they possessed. I give you Liane Langford.
Me: Liane please share with me how you decided upon naming your blog “A Walk In The Dark”?
Liane: I have a bit of a dark humor; I believe we are stumbling, curious, reaching and where the hell is the light switch! “A Walk In The Dark,” is an experience, and in my experience one candle flame can illuminate our entire life in a single moment. We’re all afraid of the dark. With outstretched arms, eyes wide open, we keep walking.
Me: Your Style is certainly one that captured my interest from the start. Black . . . → Read More: Come Take A Walk In The Dark
By Theresa H Hall, on July 27th, 2011 Lauren of Love To Eat
Tony Berkman and Theresa both got a chance to meet and speak with this new member of BlogCatalog. She is a woman of integrity who decided to finally tell the world about her love of food. I like her no guilty pleasures attitude. Besides … she has a unique crowd of hungry individuals who provide her with the kind of rapt attention most celebrities only long to have. Check out her story and find out the reason we love to visit her blog and who knows, you might be begging for more.
Tony: Winslowdog is your username on BlogCatalog. You ask the question “Who is Winslow Dog?” What’s the story behind the name on your blog Love To Eat and who is Winslow Dog?
Lauren: The real story is that my dog Winslow wanted to write a blog … Okay, no. Two of my greatest passions are dogs and food. When I cook, I like to have an audience and the dogs like to watch … and hopefully sample … which they do … a lot. So, we run our own version of the Food Network from . . . → Read More: Going To The Dogs!
By Theresa H Hall, on July 18th, 2011 I have a tendency to become attracted to those little avatars and the person lurking behind them. On BlogCatalog over the last four years I have become friends with a variety of personalities. One day I happened to notice a doll and she hadn’t removed her curlers. Every time I saw her she still had those curlers in her hair and that same exact expression on her face. After a few exchanges in Connect Discussions, I decided to mosey on over to her profile page, because I wanted to wipe that look off of her face. That never happened and I learned over the months to look forward to those big eyes and hair curlers. She had pretty good common sense and when I finally visited her blog, I got to find out she was one vivacious mom! We’ve had some very good times together.
Me: Looking back to when you were a girl of, say, seventeen … you were almost legal but not quite. Recall the rules you had to live by and how you might have felt (at that time) that they were too restrictive. On one hand you were too old to . . . → Read More: Janene’s Style Is Cool Mom
By Theresa H Hall, on June 28th, 2011 I am very happy to get to tell our BlogCatalog readers about you today. LU, you and I have been friends for about a year now and I like your writing style. You have done a marvelous job on your owner/operated start up business Writers1Stop.com. You are a valuable member of BlogCatalog and now of BrooWaha. Your writing comes from within and your words seem to flow as you type them.
Me: I saw you used to write for pandoraspantry.com on their Divine Moms Blog. What types of articles did you pen for them?
LU: The blog was written for mothers raising children with disabilities. I was the writer for that blog for about a year and I suggested the name for the blog, because it signifies greatness. Raising a child with physical, mental or emotional differences is not easy. My son was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, at the age of ten, and I can relate to the struggle, despair, disappointments and joys when raising a child with emotional differences, on a personal level. But unless you are a parent of a child who has . . . → Read More: Writing It Right the First Time
By Theresa H Hall, on June 21st, 2011 About this time last year, I purchased two photographs from my blogger friend @ Sue’s Daily Photography. I had been admiring her work for the past three (now four) years. Sometimes it would be weeks between visits, and I would take my coffee to my computer and scroll through the work she had captured through the lens of her camera, since the last time I had stopped by.
When the package was delivered I recall the excitement I felt. I had ordered the photos to be printed and applied to stretched canvas. They were a pleasure to hold in my hands, while my eyes examined the arc of her work from nature, to camera, to canvas and shipped first to her, for her signature and then up the East coast to my home. I rarely buy items of this nature but something about the art convinced me that I must own them. Not the originals, merely copies, but to me, they were a part of my friend’s energy and talent. She does have a knack for clicking at the right moment.

Tricia Lornston writes the popular blog, “Confessions of a Recovering Cynic” who is a funny BlogCatalog member! Tricia I have to know … tell me about that big tattoo!
Tricia: I wish I could give you an inspiring story about the depth and meaning of my arm piece, but really we just had to go big and bold to cover up some shoddy work I had done when I was underage.
My back piece, on the other hand, puts my arm to shame – and that one does have a spiritual story behind it.
Me: You are wearing one of my favorite colors, icy violet, in a sweet tutu, but why the astonished expression? Tell us the (quick version) story behind this photograph.
Tricia: Once upon a time in 2004, I was supposed to marry a mean guy. The wedding was booked, the invitations were mailed, and he ran as far as his cold feet could take him, stiffing me with all the bills. My girlfriend is a pro photographer and years later we decided it would be fun to do a Trash the Dress photo shoot. A . . . → Read More: Tricia Makes Me Laugh

Mrs. Green: Thank you for the nice compliment. As you know, the blog is just one component of a larger concept, which we plan to launch this August. The blog is the first glimpse into what the larger site will look, feel and sound like. We wanted to accomplish three things with the site.
