Woo hoo! ZZ Top is coming to concert! I can’t wait. I have always wanted to see them in concert and now I have my chance finally. I love their music and really grew up with it like most people my age. This is going to be so much fun!
So Many Shoes
Shoes have always held a special place in my grandmother’s heart. She is always looking at the newest shoes on the market. Many of the ones she looks at she would never be able to wear but she still enjoys looking at them.
One type of she really likes is the Minnetonka shoes. They have many styles on moccasins. All colors are nearly available including with or without fringe. My grandmother isn’t especially concerned with fringe but she does like the color purple. I am not sure if she has any purple moccasins but I’m sure she will soon.
Frye shoes, I do not believe she would care for as much. I, however, think they look pretty cool. I particularly like the boots. I think I may look into their boots when I get my motorcycle. The other style that I really liked was a pair of sandals from Josef Seibel shoes. They will be perfect for this summer when I go out on the town!
CafeMom
Here is a good site for moms only. It is a dedicated social network for moms to get together and discuss any and all topics. There are many different kinds of groups that you can join, from political to health or just plain fun, Cafemom has everything. I totally recommend that all moms try this site. I know that you will love it.
Happy 4th of July!
I wanted to tell wish everyone a great big Happy 4th of July ! I hope you all have a wonderful day with lots of BBQ and fireworks. Be careful when light of your own fireworks and keep safe. Also, make sure you have a designated driver if you are going to drink. There will be the ever present road blocks and I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt or into trouble.
Pets Dying
Unfortunately part of being a loving pet owner, is losing them to death. It is like a part of your family, and a piece of your heart goes with them. One of the cats my Mother, “rescued”, meaning she snatched it off the street because she didn’t think it was safe with the family that had it, died this week.
He was run over by a car, and she has been very distraught. We all have, but none of us, but her had the courage to go scrape him off the road until today. Thankfully Little Uno is now buried, close to our house in the woods. We will miss you Uno, you will be missed.
The Judge Is In The House
Today I was switching through television channels looking to just kill some time and landed on Judge Judy. I normally am not a fan of the Judge Judy show but today I was feeling like watching some drama. Usually watching a drama type show can make me feel like my life is going pretty good.
One of the cases that was presented today in front of Judge Judy was the case of two best friend’s who drank too much and one of the friends threw a glass at the other busting a couple of his teeth including his two front teeth. Judge Judy handled the case very well. She said a few funny things to the two young gentlemen. The plaintiff was asking for $5,000 for the repairs he is going to need on his teeth.
The defendant claims that they were all drunk and his friend was dancing on a picnic table when he threw the glass. The defendant claims he was not aiming for his friend and thought that his friend was actually going to catch the glass but he didn’t. The defendant had to pay a $500 fine and thought that that fine was enough.
Of course Judge Judy disagreed and state to the defendant that balls are meant for throwing, not glasses. This was not before telling the plaintiff he has a drinking problem and his physical appearance shows it. She stated that he ought to just image what he will look like at age 50 if at age 25 he looks like he has a drinking problem. That was a valid point Judge Judge.
Keeping Track
Recently, my grandmother obtained a new pulse oximeter. She had always wanted one and had been looking for a good price. Years ago pulse oximeters were quite expensive. These were the days when it was nearly unheard of to have any time of health care personnel’s equipment at your home for personal use.
Today, the trend is growing for preventative maintenance of a person’s health. Doctor’s are encouraging their patients to keep track of certain levels in order to remain healthy or to track changes when they are not seeing their doctor. Patients are also much more educated in the field of medicine thanks to the Internet.
I am fairly confident that doctors are not impressed with what the Internet is telling their patients about health conditions. The Internet has a lot out there and it is not all good. The Internet with regard to personal diagnosis of health problems can just mean building a wedge between you and your doctor. It is important to remember to always follow your doctor’s advice and never try to self diagnose. This can be extremely dangerous. Just leave that to the professionals.
Another Friend Moving
I have great news. I have always been very aware that I live in a transient area. Many folks move in and out of this area, mostly for jobs. I have another good friend who is moving to Connecticut. She got a great job in New York and plans to do the daily commute by train so that she can live in a quiet country home while working in a Big Apple job.
Luckily, while making her plans she found Connecticut International Movers. I am sure she’ll make great money, and I’m envious of the country lifestyle she will also be able to maintain while having a great job. She has found a great old house with a wonderful yard, high ceilings, and crown molding in all the rooms.
Moving to a different state takes a lot more work than moving across town. She had to do a lot of research on Connecticut Moving Companies. Moving close by you can get away with throwing clothes into trash bags, moving several states away requires you to be a lot more organized. It would be embarrassing to hire a company and have a bunch of dark bags.
I am sorry for myself that I am again losing a close friend. I guess a positive way to look at this is that I’ll have more places to visit and vacation.
Throwing Stones
A friend of mine today had a huge rock hit her windshield on the way into work. The noise it made sounded just like a gunshot she told me. She was quite shaken when she got to work. I told her that sometimes they can fill these holes without replacing the windshield. She did not know that.
I gave her the number to a local company and after she got off the phone with them she told me that they could fill it and it most likely would not cost her a dime. I thought that her term “dime” was funny because she had described the size of the pit in the windshield as the size of a dime. Anyways, she was going to have it replaced later today and I was happy for her because who really wants to pay to put a whole new windshield in when it could cost you nothing to have it filled. Apparently a lot of the insurance companies are allowing “pits” to be filled at not cost to the insured. Finally a few insurance companies out there aren’t taking all of out money!
Dating Happens For Free
Can’t believe Wendy met so many great guys on our ski trip and I came up empty. Although that lawyer from LA was really nice, he was very very married and I’m not going there!
While I’ve got clothes in the dryer, I thought I would surf the net for the online dating sites. Then I ran across a site that reviews all the popular ones and gives you the basic info so you can zero in on the right site to meet your own needs or interest. Each one has a different approach to the methods and the processes to find the right special someone.
I thought about reading through some profiles or ads on a personal ad services site tonight – just to see if anyone looked worth contacting and maybe getting to know a little better. Not all of these dating sites let you do that.
I ended up choosing. I like that it is free, with no charges to send and/or to receive any messages sent. Being able to post Up to 30 photos on your profile page is a great plus as well. We’ll see how that works out! And I’ll keep you posted from time to time.
