Why I Tweet

I have nothing to sell, and do not have time to get into being a pain to anyone--so if you choose to follow me here's the run down of what you're going to get from me.

A little background first so you know who you're dealing with:

Work: Full-time government employee, retired US Air Force (20 yrs)
Personal: Married (21yrs), three children (twin 18 yr old daughters, almost 14 yr old son)
Location: Nebraska (by choice)
Interests: Anything that engages my mind, hands, & learning and engaging others for helpful purposes

Full-disclaimer: I have an entrepreneurial spirit and will some day again have a business of my own, but have learned that with family and a full-time job--that's enough! So for now, when I have a few spare moments or a fleeting thought I share my thoughts in hopes that other entrepreneurs may benefit:

I compose tweets and posts about:

Saving/Conserving: Time, money, effort
Current Events: Relative to science, technology, education, health, & interests listed above
Scope of Tweets: Local, State, National, International

MOST IMPORTANT: If my mind is challenged with a question, a vacant space is allocated to the answer and my mind doesn't rest until I have the answer to fill the void.  So, don't feel bashful, if you have a question that's gnawing at your mind, send me a virtual scratch and I'll try to help satisfy your itch!

I love meeting new people!  Some of the greatest relationships I have with people were born from online introductions.  I enjoy being encouraging and supportive of other people.  If I find something that you're doing is interesting or exciting--don't be surprised if I become your best cheerleader!

Some other topics I like thinking/writing about:

Supervisor/Subordinate relationships - making them better
Science and Technology - just because we can doesn't mean we always should
Parenting & Children - little people becoming adults-treat w/respect & be surprised
Politics - A bloated unchecked government will eventually cripple the people its trying to support
Religion - I grew out of the one given to me in childhood--finding my own
Love/Friendship - Few people treasure the gift these are, how to find more?

The last thing I would like to leave you with....remember to smile and say an encouraging word to those who you come into contact with.  You never know if that interchange may be just what the other individual needed to change their mind about giving up!
