I’m still chuckling at the person who was convinced that you were pronouncing your own name wrong … you know, you probably don’t spell it right, either.

And Susan’s comment is pretty hilarious, too. I wonder if I could go into a restaurant and order a steak, but not pay for the fatty parts?

Thanks for following my blog, Lori! I found yours on Angie's website, and I'm so glad I did. I've learned a great deal from you already.

Wow. I'm continuously amazed by the strange scams I hear about in the freelance world. I'm fortunate enough not to have encountered anything fishy myself, but that's because I've done all of my work at the local level so far.

I'm trying to expand my client base online now, so I'm happy to be reminded that I need to exercise caution. Thanks for the insight!

Like your friend, I’ve been pretty lucky. My worst encounter has been with a client who had very different political views than I, and went on about them for far too long before I spoke up and said I didn’t mix business with politics.

I had a client who only wanted to for pay for words that had at least three letters. No, MS Word does not have a way to count that, so I’d have to do it manually. What a waste of time!
