ADVERTISING & MARKETING

"THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADVERTISING AND MARKETING!!!"

Let the slideshow begin...

Slide #1: You see a gorgeous lass at a party. You go up to her and say: "I'm a fantastic guy." That's called DIRECT MARKETING.

Slide #2: You're at a party with a bunch of mates and see a gorgeous lass. One of your friends goes up to her and, pointing at you, says: "See yer man there? He's a fantastic guy." Now that's called ADVERTISING.

Slide #3: You see a gorgeous lass at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say: "Hi, I'm a fantastic guy let’s go out." That's called TELEMARKETING.

Slide #4: You're at a party and see a gorgeous lass. You get up and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a lift, and then say: "Oh, by the way, I'm a fantastic gentleman." That's called PUBLIC RELATIONS.

 

Slide #5: Finally, you're at a party and see a gorgeous lass. She walks up to you and says, "I hear you're a really fantastic guy." That's something called BRAND RECOGNITION.

I guess I’ve been talking about myself again.. LOL… Have a great day

Public Health Museum of Colonial Williamsburg

 ARE “THEY” AFTER YOU

An insanely good time:: “A two-story brick institution south of Francis Street, Williamsburg's public hospital was founded at the urging of Governor Francis Fauquier (pronounced "Fau-keer"). Like many men of the 18th-century Enlightenment, Fauquier believed science could be employed to cure "persons who are so unhappy as to be deprived of their reason." READ MORE

Linda and I just happened to stumble upon this museum on our way to the larger museums housed beyond the entrance. The DeWitt Wallace
Decorative Arts Museum & The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum

This hospital museum tells in a simple, and meaningful way the trials of caring for the mental illness during a time when little was really known about such a disease.

“The building housed 24 cells, all designed for the security and isolation of their occupants. Each cell had a stout door with a barred window that looked on a dim central passage, a mattress, a chamber pot, and an iron ring in the wall to which the patient's wrist or leg fetters were attached.”

“Things” are getting better

‘Loony’ Lucy was committed to the Public Hospital When five men dragged her to the mental asylum, Lucy declared she would one day return to the Ludwell-Paradise house. She died in the asylum two years later, never returning to her home in the physical sense READ MORE

ARE “THEY” AFTER YOU YET?????

There are  samples of the primitive treatment tools used on those found insane. Some of these are not for the weak hearted.

“TREATMENTS OF THE TIME” By our standards, treatment was crude, aggressive and abusive. Powerful drugs were used to evacuate the bowels, induce constipation or cause vomiting. Other treatments included blistering salves, restraining devices such as manacles and the strait waistcoat or straitjacket, a plunge bath or dunking chair, a small electricity machine to administer shocks, scarificators [scalpel-like devises for bloodletting] and cups for bleeding.  Sometimes obstreperous patients were bound to chairs to quiet them.  Many doctors thought that a certain amount of intimidation would induce patients to reconsider their ways. On the positive side, inmates were fed, clothed and allowed time in the exercise yard -- also known as the “mad yard” – READ MORE The Madhouse of Colonial Williamsburg: An Interview With Shomer Zwelling (this is a really good link)………………………………………………………..  After all this you are probably hungry so take the time to stop at:::

“The Museum Café features a delectable array of sandwiches, chili, salads, and soups (vegetarian options also available) as well as teas, coffee, tavern beers, and wine.”

“THEY” FOUND ME… I MIGHT BE OUT OF CIRCULATION FOR AWHILE…. HAVE A GREAT DAY ANYHOW… LOL

Poor Man & His Wife

 MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something...!!!

.....A very poor man lived with his wife.

One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed. The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.

He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.

She had sold her hair

and was holding a new watch band.

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes,

not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something...!!!

  Hope you enjoyed the story, but there is More….. Take a real good look at the first picture..Did you notice::::

“The real beauty in this picture is the attention to detail that the artist, Octavio Ocampo took. Try this: squint your eyes a little and you’ll see that the man with the guitar fades away, and the old man staring into the old woman’s eyes really starts to pop out at you. Perhaps the scariest part of this illusion is that the younger woman has some really mean sideburns! Look out! Also, keep looking until you find: the young girl, the tequila bottle, and the giant vase! Quite a crazy optical illusion painting!” ( when I first saw the photo it was just of an old man and woman looking at each other.)

Memo to self:: Friday… played 18 holes golf at Westchester… did ok…
