Steaky Spelling Lesson

Thought For the Day:  I’m thinking if you’re going to go to all the trouble to print something up to sell on Etsy.com, you might want to run a Spell Check first.

Do not ASSUME because there are only a few words on the item that you have checked your work.

Case in point…

Now, I have certainly made my share of mistakes. And I will continue to do so. BUT……….could this person’s significant other not have mentioned the glaring error on this item for sale?

Did they perhaps take out a second mortgage so that they could print these creations and make their fortune? Might it not behoove them to proofread?

Was there no system of checks and balances in place before this item hit the marketplace?

Okay, I’m stepping off my steakbox, er, soapbox now.

What do you think? Would you buy something with a misspelled word on it?

It DOES have a photo of a steak on it. It’s got that going for it.

The Steak Life: Jewelry Edition

For the girl who has everything . . . well, I’ll bet she doesn’t have this!

She loves steak. She loves jewelry. She loves you. Why not buy her a ring that says it all?

I mean, who wouldn’t want to advertise their carnivorous desires each and every day? On your digits, no less!

If I had this ring I’d probably just save it for our special outings to steak dinners — or romantic steak meals at home around the dining table. But that’s me.

Hint:  Honey, here’s that holiday gift idea you were asking about.
