5 Tips to make your business Christmas cards cheery!

• Quality is important. Stay away from handmade cards unless you have previous experience.

• Make it personal. Hand-write a short message or simply write “Happy Holidays” along with your personal signature. Also, hand-write the address of the recipient on the envelope.
• BRAND it. Make sure that your company logo and contact information is included.
• Mail by December 15, 2011 for prompt arrival.

Dear Nicotine (Word Play)

Dear Nicotine, Black and Mild, Cigarette, Electronic Cigarette, or whatever they want to box you up as,

I am so sorry to break this terrible news to you today, November 30, 2011. I know its holiday season and all but we have been in this relationship far too long. You are KILLING me! You always stink. You make my teeth turn yellow and you are definitely decreasing my chances of becoming a famous singer. I have a great voice and I LOVE myself too much to keep holding on to you. It just doesn’t even make sense. I mean you calm my nerves for a minute but then I’m running back to your smelly A$$!

Can you just let me BREATHE now? I have to move on with my LIFE!

Funbrain – Featured Poem

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow–
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand–
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep–while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Have a great weekend!

Precede vs. Proceed (Merriam-Webster)

Don’t confuse the reader?

Question:

Do the appetizers precede or proceed the main course?

Answer:

precede

How to remember it:

Consider the prefix, pre–. It means “earlier than,” or “before” – as we can see in a phrase like preexisting condition, or in the word prefix itself.

To precede is to go or come before, or to be earlier than.

The root of proceed means “to go forward,” a meaning we can see in a sentence like “Let’s now proceed with the meal.”

Can you use both words correctly in a sentence? Feel free to respond!
