I’ve been working on the new website, and I’d like to get some input from the B&P readers for one of my first posts.
What piece of advice were you given that has always stuck with you?

I’m thinking about starting a new website…
I’m thinking about starting a new website. During my searches for B&P I run across things that I find inspiring, motivational, or just some great advice. Also some good quotes and inspirational stories. Occasionally I’ll post one or two of these here, but I want to create a better outlet for them. B&P is primarily a humor site and I don’t want to change it that much.
I’ve been doing some research on a name for the new site. Here are some that are available (as of now). It’s hard to come up with something clever that isn’t already taken.
- Lifetastic.us
- Livetastic.us
- WiselLfe.us
- TakeMyAdvice.us
- ThinkYes.us
- Yestastic.us
- LifeFlow.us
- ThinkChange.me
- JustChange.us
- JustChange.me
- LifeRules.me
- LifeRules.us
- LifeLaws.us
- LifeThrive.us
- ChangeLife.us
- ChangeYou.us
- ChangeLife.me
- 2Wise.us
- 2Wise.me
- 2Wisdom.us
- 2Wisdom.me
- 2.Think.me
I’m open to other ideas too. I’d like the input from my B&P friends. What do you guys think? Do you like one that I have listed, or can you think of another?
It’s Sunday morning. Time for another open mic. I’ll be posting later today.
A new feature at B&P – SpeakEasy Voicemail
Bits & Pieces Speak Easy!
I’ve created a Google Voice phone number and linked it to Bits & Pieces. You can call the number and leave a message, a joke or anything you want to say. No one will answer the phone, it’s just for voicemail. Hopefully people will call in a joke or something funny. I’ll be the judge of what gets posted. If it’s funny I’ll probably post it. If it’s political or critical of someone else I probably won’t. Or if it’s too dirty it probably won’t get posted.
I know many have free long distance calls on their phones so it won’t cost them to call and leave a message. It is a St. Louis number, so if you don’t have free long distance, regular long distance charges will apply.
This is just a trial. If it doesn’t work out I’ll take it down.
How about a good joke?
314–596–BITS or 314–596–2487
I’ll be back this afternoon to post. Until then this is your chance to talk about whatever you want…. except politics. 
Looking back at B&P
RevRick asked me the other day how long I’ve been doing Bits & Pieces. I wasn’t sure, so I went back and looked it up.
The very first “Welcome” post was March 31, 2002. I didn’t post every day back then. The first actual content post wasn’t until April 3, 2002.
That’s 7 years 3 months and 15 days
Here’s what I posted that day:
