An alternative ride

I thought this was a pretty cool idea for the witches out there…lol! Considering I ride a Harley, this just might be kind of fun if something could be rigged up for next Halloween!

My own arcade machine

One of my most favorite games to play has always been the Pacman arcade machine. I love it! Years ago, when I had to do my laundry at the laundry mat, there was one of the machines there. I swear more quarters went into that machine playing pacman, than went into the washers and dryers. I actually looked forward to doing my laundry on the weekends so I could play that game. The regular customers that always were there at the same time as I was, would actually get off the game so I could play it. We even would have competitions to see who’s score would be the highest.

After I moved and got a washer and dryer, I really missed playing the Pacman arcade machine, since I don’t play any other games often. My nephews told me that I could play pacman online and they even would rent the game for me to try and play with the hand held controllers, but I never could get the hang of which button to push when, or how to use a joy stick that some of their game machines called for.

I’ve decided that since I have an extra room, that I might just buy myself my very own Packman arcade machine. I know I really would enjoy playing it, and my nephews would love it if I had one also. So, I’m indeed thinking about it.

 

Catching up on my shows

With all that has been happening here and me working so much, I miss the shows that I like to watch. I have Xfinity which runs most of my television programs I like to watch, even though I have to wait a day or two before they update them so I can watch the episodes I missed. I have a feeling it’s going to be a pretty good weekend.

Waiting for the weekend

With the weekend nearly here, I’m looking forward to putting my flower beds to “sleep” for the winter and raking all the leaves that have fallen in the yard. The weather is supposed to be warmer and sunny. I hope it is, since I really would like to get this done and enjoy doing these kind of things. It’s sort of bittersweet though, since it seems we hardly had a summer and now winter is nearly upon us.

It’s confirmed

I have one heck of a case of strep throat. Wonderful. Perhaps from standing out in the cold handing out candy to exactly 12 kids that came to the house for trick or treating? It was such a sad turn out. I ended up giving the kids hand fulls of candy and telling them to come back around if they wanted. They were happy, though.

Happy Halloween

Actually it’s miserable outside. Poor kids. I did however get plenty of candy and am hoping for the best. I’m not in the spirit this year. Usually I dress up…of course as a not scary witch, and love handing out candy. Guess with the blahs.. I just don’t feel like it.

Cleaning greasy messes

It is time to clean out the grill and put it up for the winter and I found that I had to go on a hunt for perfect degreasers. I also realized that I am a really sloppy grill cooker, even though I don’t mean to be. I use tin foil most of the time for my vegetables and some other things, like stuffed tomatoes with tuna, which is easy to just to wrap in tinfoil and slap on the grill.

Actually in the summer, I grill more that I cook in my kitchen. I like being outside. I also love my patio and the fact that in the summer, I don’t have to stand in a hot kitchen. But like I said, I am a messy grill cook. I noticed that grease had splattered from off the grill or my grilling utensils, onto my patio stone and that regular degreasers were not got to get it all off.

A friend of mine suggested that I use industrial strength degreasers on the stone patio “floor” as I call it. I was kind of leery at first, but when I did indeed use it, and was careful following the instructions, it worked like a charm. I’m even thinking about keeping my grill covered but also available on the patio if I want to grill in the winter!

Happy Halloween weekend

I’m not nearly ready for Halloween this year. I’m just not into the spirit of it all. I’m going to get goodies for the kids that come around, but that is all I actually feel like doing. I think I’m getting old, or just in a funk of some kind.

Hump Day

I have always thought that the term hump day was silly. Today, with the way I’m feeling, I can understand why Wednesdays are called that. I just want to get over this day and week.

Mens divorce lawyers

I never knew there were divorce and custody lawyers that specialized in legal help for men, but then I heard about Cordell & Cordell Reviews from a guy friend of mine who was looking online for divorce lawyers. Like I said, I personally had never heard of such a service, so indeed I did browse through the site. Sure enough the service is there,  and they do everything from divorce and child custody, to spousal support and property division for men.

While looking through the site, I read the Cordell & Cordell reviews that clients had written and I was surprised the these are not just men who work on the men in need of a lawyer cases. There are women lawyers also who have represented the men. The reviews were quite remarkable, actually.

I do however personally have mixed feelings about divorce and feel that some men, and this is just from personal experience with some of my women friends, will go to great lengths to put the screws so to speak to their soon to be ex wives. However, isn’t that sometimes also true with what some women do to men during a divorce or custody and support battle? So at least in my friends case, since I know the whole situation and how his wife is, I think that a firm like Cordell & Cordell would be perfect for him.
