Insert Foot

Sometimes people should have a mute button. I wished that the person I was conversing with had had one today. I would have gladly pushed it before she released way too much information.

Luckily for her the information she released was not that harmful but could have been saved for inside of her head! Oh well unfortunately people do not have a mute button and we can really only truly be responsible for our own actions.  However, these same actions do have the ability sometimes to effect others. Therefore what would really be nice is to have the ability to scan and mute any words/ actions that could impact other peoples lives. This is all a dream of course.

No A/C

Now that it has gotten real hot and humid, the air conditioning on my Tahoe has decided to go out. I am not sure how much it will cost to get fixed but I have to get it in the shop to find out.

None of our vehicles right now has working air conditioning and that is a bad deal all the way around. It was 95 degrees today and they say that it is going to be even hotter tomorrow, I have to get the air conditioning fixed in one of our vehicles soon.

Each summer we hear stories about people leaving their kids or their pets in their cars during the extreme heat. It breaks my heart. I don’t understand why anyone would think that this would be acceptable. I think that those who are found guilty of this type of behavior should be punished in the same manner as the victim was treated.

Locked up

The technology behind the invention of lockers has increased greatly over the years. Lockers come in various shapes, sizes and textures. They can be seem in multiple venues and places where people feel the need to lock up their stuff.

People in the United States I think take their privacy very seriously. Using a locker is one way that an individual can ensure their property will still be available when they want it. As I mentioned before, lockers come in multiple forms. The one type of locker that I rarely hear much about are wood lockers.  I am not even sure who would purchase these types. My guess would be country clubs. The type of locker that always comes to mind when thinking about them are school lockers.

Schools have several uses for lockers. Inside a school, lockers can be found in hallways, break rooms and gymnasiums.  Growing up I always disliked the gym lockers the most. They were always too small and smelled. I think that these particular lockers never got cleaned. They were always disgusting! I wonder if there are lockers for sale that would eliminate stinky gym shoes?

Heat

This year I don’t have to guess what to purchase to give to my dad on Father’s Day. I have already found a great website with an awesome selection of Heat Guns, Soldering Irons and Hot Knives to pick from to order for him. Now I just have to decide on which one to actually purchase. Father’s Day is only a few short weeks away so I better hurry up and pick one. I’m sure he would love any of them.

Animal Voiceovers

I couldn’t stop laughing at this. I have always loved watching nature videos but when you add a human context to them it makes it ten times more enjoyable! I guarantee that anyone watching this will laugh at some point. If they don’t then they must not have any sense of humor. The large white birds laughing are my absolute favorite!

Durham Air Conditioning

The days that I could call my kid brother for my heating and/or air conditioning issues are unfortunately long gone. He discovered that he has a real talent with computers and he hasn’t had anything to do with anything else since.

So on the down side I have to locate and hire my own Durham air conditioning service when I need help. On the other hand I can always count on him to help me with my computers!

Women in the movies

Tonight’s evening news revealed a surprising study with regards to women in the movies. The study overall showed that women still  have very few speaking parts compared to men. Men account for 67% of speaking parts according to this study. Women have very little leading roles.

The study accounts this data to the majority of film directors still being of the male gender. Naturally, these men lean more toward hiring male actors than female actors. I am kind of appalled but at the same time not fully surprised. It is very sad also that women who purchase more movie tickets in a year then men, according to the same study, view these movies and basically are subjected to their own equality.

That study also found that women are pealing off their clothes 1/3 more than their male counterparts. Again, it is women who are viewing these movies more than men. Something is wrong with this picture. Maybe in another 100 years women will finally have the upper hand or should I say lead?

Girls like sports too

It is true that girls can like sports too and I am a true sports fan, I played many sports as a young girl and I do enjoy watching most of the sports that all of the men like. Football is my favorite and baseball is not far behind. I have learned to love hockey since I moved here to Nashville, I have attended many of the Predators games and I love my hockey seats, we are right on the glass and you can hear the boys sweating.

Now that football is over and hockey is on break all I can hope for is spring training to get started so I can have some baseball to watch. One of the few sports that I do not follow at all is basketball, we went to one live pro game a few years ago and I tried to watch it but just could not make myself, so hurry up baseball season.

New neice

My sisters youngest daughter has had a beautiful baby girl and to get the perfect gift for this newest member of our family I have decided to go all out and get her some unique baby blankets for the baby. A new baby brings out the very best in most people and I am one of those who love the new babies. In this family it is my job to get the newest babies wonderful gifts and baby stuff they can keep their whole lives.

The baby blankets I have selected are such a wonderful gift and I will be very happy to send all of my family members who want to find the unique baby blankets that I have found. I will send them to Vision Bedding, they have a great web site with some very nice baby gifts including the unique baby blankets I have found for Keshia.

Vision Bedding has a great web site with a very nice selection of very nice baby items including the wonderful baby blankets I selected. The price was the top thing on the list of things that amazed me about this web site, they matched or even beat the local baby shops and that is amazing in my mind.

Learn About New Ringtones

I will have to admit that I am a late bloomer on the technology front and I am racing to catch up as quickly as I can. I have found an online creation app thats free and I seem to use it a lot almost every day I find something new and exciting online. The fact that a web site has so much information and a great selection of music to download to your phone for a ring tone is amazing to me.

What I really like about this very useful web site is the fact that you can create your own application from their list of different songs. I really like the fact that they have a much bigger selection than is on my phone, I have a ring tone that people in the south wold love.

Brinked has a huge selection of different music to choose from and I have made a couple of selections from the rock category and one from the R&b section, they even have themes from TV and movies on their web site. I even found the Imperial March from Star Wars, and anyone who is not a Star Wars fan like me is really missing out on this great series of movies and the great music from the movies is top notch.
