I hope the Easter Bunny came to your house and left you lots of candies!
Fool Me Once . . .
There is this great saying about taking advantage of people:
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I have tried to keep that in mind over the years. I do like to trust people and give them every benefit of the doubt, but there are so many scams and con artists out there now, I have to be careful and protect myself, too.
I was just thinking this saying was very appropriate for today, since it is April Fool’s Day and I know someone people are going to try to pull some jokes on me today. At least this is harmless fun.
Hugs for Japan
I’m sure by now everyone in the world has heard about the tragedy in Japan. Itt was bad enough to have such a strong earthquake, but then to have a tidal wave come and wipe out several towns and everyone who lived there . . . how horrific that must be. I feel so very sorry for the victims and the survivors. God Bless the people of Japan.
TV on DVD
For various reasons, over the years I seem to have missed some good TV shows.
Now I can make up for that by buying the set of those TV series on DVD. I see a lot of the TV shows are on DVD at WalMart and on Amazon. The prices are reasonable and you can buy the whole series so you don’t miss a single episode.
I am going to buy a few of those sets and watch the shows at my convenience, then maybe share them with family or friends who might have missed them, too.
Serious About a Diet
I have GOT to lose a few pounds. I am serious this time. I want to look nice this summer and I have to buy a new bathing suit. So I am going to lose 15 pounds before Memorial Day and I am going to look GREAT when I hit the beach! That is only 5 pounds per month between now and then – I just know I can do this!
Harry is Harriet
I heard a bout a new TV show called Harry’s Law. And I thought, great, another show about lawyers. We already have a bunch of shows, like Boston Legal, L.A. Law, The Defenders and others. So why do we need another legaldrama?
Well, this show is about Harriet who leaves a big corporate firm and sets up shop in the ghetto. Everyone calls her Harry and she is one tough cookie! I saw the pilot last week and I fell in love with it right away. I can’t wait to see the net episode, which is on tonight!
Ones and Zeros
If you pay any attention to lucky numbers or numerology, today and tomorrow are special days. The date for today is 01 10 11. And the date for tomorrow will be 1 11 11. You take this coincidence even further and at 11 minutes after 11 tomorrow you have all ones. How cool is that?
Welcome 2011
Snow Storms
We all enjoyed a white Christmas, here in Tennessee. In fact about every state East of the Mississippi had the promise of snow on Christmas Day. For us, it was the first white Christmas in 17 years.
But now the northeast is having a terrible blizzard. The airports have been canceling flights and there are tens of thousands of holiday travelers who are stranded in cities experiencing heavy snowfall, with no other way home.
On the other hand, I commend the airlines for taking every precaution to ensure the safety of their passengers and crews in bad weather. This is a huge inconvenience for travelers, but there are lessons to be learned, as well.
Santa
Growing up in a white, suburban neighborhood, when my parents took me to the department store to see Santa, he was always white.
Now I am seeing pictures on the news of Santas who are black and asian. That is a big change from when I was a kid. I wonder if the kids of today think this is normal and OK? Or have they noticed that most of the Santas in the storybooks are white?
