Dirty Water

I can’t stand the way that my water looks, smells and tastes. After I take my daily bath and let the water run out and drain there is a lot of black grainy junk left in the tub. Looks like I’m going to need to contact a water service company. I’ve been needing to find a replacement for my Water Heater Indianapolis, that might help with some of the problems as well.

Funny how sometimes when I think of dirty water, the song Dirty Water, by The Standells, starts playing in my head. I think this song was a hit in the mid 1960s. My mother is always listening to the Oldies radio station (it plays music from the 50′ and the 60’s,) so I have been exposed to a lot of different types of music throughout the years.

My father was totally into Country Music, I was never a big fan of it but always enjoyed being around my Dad so I kinda got used to it but it’s not real high up on my list of favorite music.

Personally I like a lot of the music from the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s. I was that I had been around when Disco dancing was all the rage. I know a lot of people hate on Disco, but to me it always provides me with a good consistent beat!

The Knots Prayer

One of my friends is going through some very trying times. She just recently lost her husband and is now raising a teenager on her own. Another friend sent this out to her and cc’d me. I like what is says, hope she enjoys it and I just wanted to post it here. Strange how the author is unknown.

Mom’s Advice for Me

My mom told me about bank card processing when I was first opening my wedding gallery and it was good advice. I wasn’t sure how to go about all the logistical elements of having a wedding dress store but I knew I needed to figure it out – I had a ton of dresses and a great place to display them but no real method for running a business.

My brides come to me now because they know they’re going to get the best care and attention on their biggest purchase – that’s what I provide. I’m also a bit cheaper than some of the girls in the area and though I think it’s great that they can sell those couture dresses I always want there to be an affordable option. I don’t understand how some people can afford to spend five thousand dollars on one dress but God bless them. You won’t find them here in my store, though, that’s not how I work! I’m all about a great dress for a great price.

Fund Me Please

Using Gift Certificates as gifts has become a life saver for me. There are so many people that I am obligated to purchase gifts for all throughout the year, not just at Christmas time that it becomes a real challenge to find the perfect gift while not spending an arm and a leg.

A good amount of these people are musical so Musician’s Friend has a go fund me way to purchase Gift Certificates online, with no shipping, no expiration date and can be purchased at any denomination that you please, I have used them before in the past and they seem to go over well so I do believe that I will continue doing so.

always the perfect gift

I Like FREE!

I’ve known several people that sign up with various sites that offer all types of Free Stuff, which is something that I’ve never really gotten into. I am an avid coupon user and I take advantage of numerous rebates, which can really add up, and I certainly like the sound of “Freebie” so I’ve looked around a bit and found thefreebiesource dot com which is a really cool site that links you up with other sites that offer Freebies, discounts, samples, promotion codes, coupons and the like and I thought that I would spread the word about this site here today.

I do enjoy finding a good deal or stumbling onto a really good customer service representative (live or on the phone) these days there is a lot to complain about, and rightfully so, so the good things are so much more positive and don’t drain and suck me dry of all thoughts and concentration. I’ve always thought that if we all just did one good deed or be a good Samaritan each day the world would be a much nicer and brighter place for everyone. Telling people where to go to get free stuff is my good deed for the day.

An Orthopedic Surgeon’s Bike

How would you like to see this coming at you in the rear view mirror? What an awesome piece of work this guy has to show for all of his hard work. I just wonder how it rides. Looks like it might be a long stretch to the handle bars unless the owner has some pretty long arms.

All Of Our Remote Controls

I just saw a commercial advertising The Clapper, I have not seen a commercial for this item in so long that I thought that they were no longer available. Not only are still available but they have come out with The Clapper Plus, which gives you a remote control!

As much fun as been poked at this popular invention, I have to tell you that I wouldn’t mind owning one, it would be so much easier than flicking the switch in my bedroom and I wouldn’t have to get up or walk in the darkness at times.

We have all become so used to having things done for us and as quickly as possible “thank you very much” Some people actually have a box that has all of the remote control equipment that is needed for all of their electronics that we have become so accustomed to. I am so glad that I only have a few and know how to actually use them.

Frosted Mini Wheats

I still enjoy a good old fashioned bowel of cereal now and then. My goodness there are so many varieties of cereal these days, it is just blows my mind. But then we have a huge variety of just about everything in the grocery stores now a days. Frosted Mini Wheats are my all time favorite. They have a good amount of sugar on them (good thing, or else I wouldn’t be eating them) but everything else is good healthy ingredients.

Josh.0

Most nights I fall asleep with the TV on. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep without the darn TV on. One of my favorite channels is The Comedy Channel. The show “Josh.O” just cracks me up and he is easy on the eyes as well. His big smile is great!

Sometimes he goes a bit too far my taste, but of course if and when that happens all I have to do is change the channel and find some thing else to entertain or bore me back to sleep.

Body Kits for The Ford Mustang

I have always enjoyed working with my hands. I grew up with several brothers and I found myself hanging around them and my dad a lot in the drive way and the garage watching them, learning from them and helping them work on various vehicles through out the years. I really think that I would have made a good mechanic or learned how to do paint and body work but things just didn’t work out that way, but I still enjoy hanging around and helping them when I can.

My one oldest brother is totally into and so very proud of  his 2005 Ford Mustang and is looking at various body kits online that he plans on purchasing with his tax refund money. My first car was a 1967 Ford Mustang so I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mustang and I can’t wait to see which of the bodykits he decides on and I so  plan on being there when he starts the work on it as soon as it is delivered. I’m sure my other brothers will be close by when the time comes and there will be a lot of hustle and bustle going on in the garage when the time comes. It sounds like a great way to spend a few days with family doing something that we all enjoy and will be proud of when all is said and done.
