POWER TOOTH FILLS THE GAP

February 8, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The power tooth, as defined on this blog, is more than a tooth. It is all your teeth, a lifetime of teeth. Is that powerful enough for you to keep up with them? More importantly, powerful enough for me, the tooth blogger?

BRANDED BLOGGER: WHO IS ON BRAND

January 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:

WELLNESS BLOG vs BLOG WELLNESS

December 15, 2023 by David Gillaspie

A ‘wellness blog’ does what it says: promote health and wellness to an audience who ignores their own health and wellness. If you’re reading a blog for ‘wellness,’ if you’re doing your own ‘research,’ be sure better ideas come from credible sources. Taking medical advice, or simple health advice, from a moron is not the […]

RESPONSIBLE BLOGGER IN REAL TIME

August 12, 2023 by David Gillaspie

A responsible blogger is hard to find? Not at all, just search for an echo chamber that repeats what you think. Find that blogger and you start wondering why everything else isn’t as easy. But that’s not what’s going on here. I’m not doing the work, you are.

GET LIT, BUT NOT TOO LIT

July 23, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Get lit, getting lit, lighting the fuse? They all shift things around, sometimes more than planned. In one case you’re in for an internal reaction; in another it’s external. Both come with their own problems, and you might be one of them.

HEALTHY ALCOHOL LAST CALL NO LAUGHING MATTER

April 5, 2023 by David Gillaspie

DELAYED SATISFACTION FOR DELAYED REGRET?

October 4, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Ask Portland baby boomers about delayed satisfaction and brace yourself. You might hear about training to climb Mt. Hood, or skiing Black Diamond trails, as well as the retirement account they focused on for forty years. Ask about the future and expect a solid take on living for the day. Why? Because they’ve already delayed satisfaction as […]
