Of Mania and Manic Meltdowns

Obviously this blog is called Manic Meltdown, and just as clearly to those who look around a bit, I rarely write about truly being manic. That’s largely because I rarely am manic, myself, I’m more of a unipolar depressive type myself, when my grip slips. (Yes, I know, that’s shocking to those of you who [...]

Best Online College Degrees? Be Careful!

In these challenging economic times, many people are thinking about going back to college. Many former service members recently became eligible for extra economic incentives for doing so.
This is a good thing – a sane thing, even – and as someone once told me, “They can take everything away from me, but they cannot [...]

Quotey Quote of the Day

One thing I have always loved is quotations…they can make you think, make you laugh, and change your perspective on things. “Quotey Quotes” is now offering a free, self updating quote badge for blogs, myspace, etc. So without further ado, here’s mine. Have a good day!

Insanity Everywhere; Links on US Health Care Reform

Apologies for being missing; the workload has been rather heavy and I’ve been watching events far more closely due to the potential for real health care reform in this country. Unfortunately your Ms. S. is trying valiantly to stay sane watching the crazies come out in full force AGAINST said reform… generally in any permutation.
Occasionally [...]

His Holiness The Dalai Lama on Happiness

I wanted to share some words from the (current) fourteenth Dalai Lama, on how we can be happy in this world.
Here’s a hint/in a nutshell: it involves compassion. Compassion does not always come easily to me. But then, it may not come easily to anyone. It is, however, a blessing to all, when it is [...]

Dealing with Depression and Anxiety

With the current whirlwhind of craziness about, many people who have a tendency toward depression and anxiety (which includes Ms. Sanity, gentle reader…) can be tending to struggle more than usual, due to the extra economic stress happening in most countries right now. At times like these, it’s important to pay extra attention to what [...]

We The People…Make Your Priorities Heard

I’ve been interested in this relatively new website called “White House Two,” which is meant to give the man or woman on the street the opportunity to voice their priorities for the country to the White House and to their “fellow Americans.” Nearly 8,000 people have joined the site, including yours truly.
Not surprisingly, it’s questionable [...]

Interesting Website about Websites

I just ran into one of those rarities–an interesting site about sites.
It’s called “Great Sites To Visit” and is located here: Great Site Reviews.
The web is so big, and there is so much stuff out there, (along with a lot of crap!) that it can be maddening to try to find interesting websites/good info/etc., and [...]

Too Little Too Late; lessons for every business

I’ve been thinking about customer service a lot lately. As someone who does/has done a lot of work and a lot of selling online, for many years now, and who also had a  lot of (basically tortured interesting) experience working with the public face to face in retail,  I have a lot of experience with [...]
