My name is Rich. I'm the food editor for the Times-Tribune and Day Seller out of Seskatoon. There aren't a lot of restaurants here in town, or in our county. There aren't a lot of chefs, either. There isn't a lot going on with food at all.
So mostly.
Mostly, not entirely.
But, mostly, I steal from the internet.
I figure, no harm, no foul. Most of the people who still read the Times-Tribune and Day Seller aren't on the internet yet. Most of the people who are on the internet aren't reading the Times-Tribune Day Seller. I'm building bridges. I'm creating connections and relationships where none were before. It's full the heck of win, that's what it is.
Well, I say mostly it's what I do, but more like it's what I did.
Got busted, though.
Got caught, and now I can't steal recipes from the internet anymore. I'm still technically the food editor of the Times-Tribue and Day Seller. In fact, I'm the first editor they've ever had who's edited from jail. I don't write anymore, though. I mean, if you call stealing from the internet writing. (And who doesn't.)
I almost got away with it.
One of the chefs I stole from, though? He got busted for child porn. My computer got confiscated because they tracked a lot traffic between his website and my computer. They didn't find any kiddie porn on my computer, but they did find a lot of stolen articles. Because I'd actually stolen files rather than just copy and paste, I got busted. They're making a huge deal about it, too.
I mean.
All I ever wanted to do was be a writer, but I guess the Man doesn't give a crap about that.
Cheap Newport Cigarettes are one of the most famous brands of cigarette. Marlboro is evolved from its London factory on the Marlborough Street after which it is named. Largest manufacturing plants of Marlboro are Virginia and Richmond now. Newport Cigarettes come with filters but at that time the filtered cigarettes were considered as less harmful and so preferred by women mostly and the unfiltered cigarettes were for men and were known as men cigarette.

She writes advertising copy, runs gleefully with scissors, plays well with poems…and has also penned a couple of children’s books that need a little magic fairy dust to find illustrator and publisher. You can read her stuff at whimsygizmo.wordpress.com.
Laurie Kolp is the other half of our Sunday tandem. She is a mother of six (including husband and two dogs)and maintains three blogs with numerous publications to her credit which includes most recently Chicken Soup for the Soul: Devotional Stories for Tough Times, The Dead Mule’s School Society of Southern Literature, Christmas Miracles, The Christian Communicator, Skive Magazine.
