Question. Will your kids refuse to eat certain foods without ketchup? Mine do. The other day we went to my mother-in-law’s house for lunch and because she lives alone and doesn’t use ketchup she didn’t have any in her refrigerator. Well, when I told my eldest he would have to eat his chicken nuggets “naked” you would have thought I took all of his toys and sold them on e-bay. There was no way he was going to eat them without his favorite food group even when we threatened, “Well, if you don’t eat your chicken you won’t be able to have any of Grandma’s brownies or chocolate chip cookies.” Still wouldn’t budge. Talk about stubborn. I mean who in their right mind would pass up brownies or chocolate chip cookies? Not me. I would have choked that chicken down with a glass of milk and had a full out frenzy on those luscious chocolate treats. But…I must admit I was a big ketchup fan when I was a kid too so as they say…the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Hmmmmmm! I wonder how an apple would taste with ketchup?
OK, so now I have a pretty new Web site with lots of bells and whistles. Now what? Oh yeah, I’m supposed to use it to get more work, to generate more income, to be able to send my kids to college, and build my dream home some day. Now I remember. So…anybody out there have any work for a middle aged humor writer/copywriter? C’mon, I don’t need much. Just enough to stay out of trouble and show my husband that I AM capable of bringing in a few bucks and contributing to the “bottom line.” So, tell your friends, tell your family, tell the guy down the street about the “Writer for Hire” and send ‘em my way. Thanks.
Hello everyone. I see you’ve found your way to Mahoney Ink. If this is your first visit, let me tell you a little bit about why I created this site. Basically, I’m a humor writer and a marketing copywriter and for awhile I was juggling two sites - one for my business and one for my humor writing. I was feeling a little schizophrenic about the whole thing so I decided to put all of my work under one roof. Oh yeah, and I added some of my hobbies as a cartoonist, photographer, and videographer just for fun. My goal was to create a place where people could come to smile, get a chuckle or two, and check out some of the stuff I’ve been working on. So take off your shoes, grab a cup of coffee and take a look around. Feel free to invite your friends over. The more the merrier. And if you have an extra second or two, please sign up for my newsletter and/or RSS feed so you can receive my latest column or blog posting. Thanks for stopping by.
