It is truly amazing that more of our soldiers weren’t getting hit and hurt by these things. My best friends son is serving in the Army and sent her this video and she sent it to me. Amazing, truly. God Bless each and every one of them that are serving their country for you and me.
Milk
Funny how the older we get how we get more particular in various things. Right now my issue is with milk. I have been buying and drinking the 2% variety for the past couple of years, it took me a while to get used to the taste but I did it.
The problem is that some stores that I buy it from tastes like it has gone bad and the whole carton gets poured down the drain, along with the three dollars and change that it cost me, which really irks me, big time. It is only certain stores that I’m finding this problem with like Walmart, Rite Aid and Safeway. It really sucks that I have to be careful where I buy my milk for goodness sake.
My Mother’s Buying List
I have always wanted a nice set of Hartmann Luggage or the ever popular Vera Bradley Luggage that looks so good on the luggage carousel at the airports at the end of the trip. Or at least if you are lucky enough to have your luggage arrive along with your arrival. I’ve never had my luggage lost before but I’ve heard some horror stories from folks that have had to deal with all the hassles and inconvenience of an airline losing your precious belongings that were being stored in your Luggage.
As I stated before I’ve always wanted to own a nice set of luggage and my mother is trying to make that happen for me for my birthday that is fast approaching this winter. My mother is expecting a nice sized tax refund from Uncle Sam next year and wants to purchase a few things that she has had her heart on for the past year. I’m just lucky enough to be on her buying list this year!
Of course I’m sure that if she finds herself in need of some nice luggage she can always count on being able to borrow mine any time she needs it. That is a plus!
Anyone remember this commercial. It took less than 3 minutes to find it on YouTube! It still makes me laugh even after all these years of not seeing it at all.
Fashion Show – Victoria’s Secret Style
More women than you would think watch the annual Victoria Secret Fashion Show that has become so very popular now a days. I have always enjoyed watching it when I can and I did manage to watch it just the other night and I have to tell you that each year some how, they seem to top the previous year’s, and this year was no different, it was truly brilliantly done.
Our local mall here has one of their retail stores, but their prices are just so darn high most of the time, although each year they do have a really good sale, I hope that I have a few bucks in my pocket come next month and I have to pay attention and see when the sale hits.
Our Flag
It does my heart good to see so many people sporting the Confederate Flag on their vehicles as well as on their homes and property. I can’t for the life of me understand what all the hoopla is about the Confederate flag. I have a large Confederate flag myself but since I rent an apartment I can’t install it, which makes me very sad.
There are tons of places that are selling all types of flags to be used on a vehicle but I am afraid that if I ordered one and put it on my car that someone would get angry and try and hurt me and/or my car. I can just see it now, I come strolling out of Walmart to find my tires slashed or any of all the other ways someone can damage a car while no one is looking.
We Have Each Others Back
There are so many ways that I see my sister healing with the help of a very interesting and creative Jungian Psychoanalysis that she has been working with for a few months now. Even though she lives so far away from where I live we are still very close and manage to communicate several times a week, so I know her pretty well.
We have lived together several times throughout our adult lives. It is great to know that my sister always has my back and she darn well knows that I’ve got hers as well. We do talk about how lucky and blessed we are to have such a great relationship despite all the other wacky family members that we have in the ever-growing family that we were born into. There are so many brothers and sisters that don’t remain close as the years tumble by.
I wasn’t all that knowledgeable about this particular New York Jungian Psychotherapy method, but I took the time to research New York Jungian Therapists as much as I could online and she seems to be flourishing, so I am thrilled. It really bites that I can’t see her as much as I would like to. A seven hour drive might as well be all the way across the country. But if need be it could and would be done, that much I know.
Amazing Waters
Having family in England has its good points for sure. I love to visit them and one of the best things about that is they know all of the coolest places to visit. Places that I would never be able to find on my own for sure. They know how much I love anything to do with water and aquariums so my cousin took me to work with him to show me the new custom built aquarium his bosses had installed when they did the major upgrade of the main lobby. It was absolutely gorgeous.
I stood there for hours just taking in all that was in that amazing aquarium. I have to admit it was almost like being in the ocean in a submarine or scuba diving. Taking in each and every inch of that amazing sea habitat took me what seemed hours. The detail was in it was beyond anything I had ever seen before. I did notice that there was small plaque that told who had made it for them and when I got home I looked up their web site out of curiosity. Yes I was thinking along the lines of possibly using them myself some day. I don’t know how or for what but there’s nothing I admire more than exceptional workmanship and I was looking at it for sure in that aquarium.
Once I got home, I decided to take a trip to a local zoo and they had this amazing seal habitat. I had heard that they were looking for seal pools display solutions since their old one was exactly that, old. I would not be surprised at all if they didn’t contact the same company for their new habitat. You can’t deny the great workmanship and the new one is amazing too.
Canadian Billboards
No need to say anything about these signs, I think what is already printed says it all.
Good Customer Service at Lipton Tea
I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember, hot or cold, day or night, but it has to be Lipton or nothing. I did switch to Red Rose Tea for a while because my mother was collecting the little Wade figurines that they always have in the box along with the tea bags, but after a while I just got really tired of not having the full flavor of my good old Lipton bags.
Last time I did my grocery shopping I was pleased to find that they had Lipton tea bags on sale so I picked up several boxes, and I saved a good chunk of change in doing so. But when I came home and opened one of the boxes and put several of them in the boiling water, in order to make a picture of Iced tea, the bags more or less exploded, and made quite a mess of it all. So I tried again, and the same thing happened, that is when I looked on the side of the box and found the 1-800 number for their customer service department and gave them a call.
I have to say that they were very understanding and polite, I received a warm, sincere apology and was sent several coupons in the mail the next week for several free boxes of Lipton Tea Bags. Now that is what I call good customer service. Thanks Lipton!
Feeling Unappreciated?
I’ve heard of some pretty wild and wacky things but this is really different and I might point out, very sad.
This is the type of story that should have been read on The Tonight Show when Jay Leno was the host with all of his other crazy newspaper tidbits! He used to get some pretty outrageous things that have been put into print!
