I don't know if real-time reporting is the main culprit for the DIet-Candy-Lite-ification of the news industry I've had the misfortune of witnessing over my short lifetime. It can definitely have its upsides. I don't really need to outright point ...

Somebody get this man a Guinness. Still leaving comments on at my own blog, just as a matter of personal preference, but this is a valid and well-stated point. Not that it was really *needed* or *demanded.* It's your stinkin' blog, and it's your ...

Thanks, everyone, for the comments. I can't help but notice how nicely the featuring of this article dovetails with SI's current discussion-group on the real-time news cycle and whether not it's killing the news industry. Can't wait to see fellow ...

Fehhhhh, so glad the holidays come but once a year! Thankful? I'm thankful that I didn't have to be ROLLED back to my apartment. *lol*

This is one of the many reasons I'm opposed to comments, especially on blogs and newspaper sites.

I really do not go to the star or any of the other local news web sites. The comments section tend to ruin the site.

Leah, I'm not sure this is an Indiana problem, this is an American problem. Having lived in Arizona, Florida, Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut, I can attest that there are stupid, shallow people everywhere. There's no overabundance of them here...

Please accept my friendship invitation. I love this post and would like to hear more from you. Shallow Indiana is RIGHT! Where is the depth of a person anymore? My mommy taught me "it's what's on the inside that counts". I'm into health, but true ...

Shallow Indiana (Sorry, but you disappoint me sometimes.)

One of these days. ONE of these days, I will surely learn to stop looking at the comments-section when I read the Indianapolis Star or the Evansville Courier and Press.

The humble trash can

*thunk*

... @&$#*!


I'd knocked the trash can over -- again! And now I feared I would be late for work, but I couldn't just leave that mess in the alley. I have a tendency to really whip my car around quick, backing out of the driveway. Trash pick-up is only once a week, not frequent enough to quickly cement a routine. And for some reason my landlord ALWAYS puts those big cans right in my path. So, for a little wh… Continue

No, this was not meant to be as condescending as it came across, or at all for that matter. I have a problem of typing while I think, and assuming all came out as intended. I am sorry if this caused any disturbance.

By your reply, I gather you somewhat understood I intended nothing negative. Thank you for giving it a chance.

I am not too involved in the networking on here any longer. I have found it to be a waste of more time than not. I do not count it out, but stay reluctant.

When did you complete your B.A.?

Well Leah, as I read through your page here, I fail to know you much better than I did when I started. By the way, I started at zero. I am curious, where did you attend, and what did you study there? I did learn that you are attempting a bit of networking, and I am still seeking the idea as well.

So, nice to meet you, Leah, sort of.

Hi Leah, what I have seen so far about this community I really like! People actually use it frequently which means there's a bunch of useful info on here. I have the feeling I'm just scratching the surface and that is what will keep me coming back.

Thanks for the comment!

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
