Game Shows

I have never been a fan of game shows but I do enjoy, on occasion, watching Family Feud. This is one game show that doesn’t make me feel like a bumbling idiot. I usually do pretty good on guessing the answers and find myself feeling good about it. Gotta take the good with the bad, but I like good the best. I do have to say that it has definitely become an adult game show that should only be on at night or cable.  I don’t get to see this game show very often but when I do I swear at least once an episode the question or one of the answers has a word that is used in place of the word penis. When I was growing up and watching that show during the daytime, I am quite sure that wasn’t the case or else my parents wouldn’t have allowed us to watch it.

Backpacks for School

We have found the perfect high sierra backpacks for the kids to use come the last week of August when they all go back to school. It’s hard to believe that their summer vacation is coming to a screeching halt here real soon. As much as they can get on our nerves when they are out of school when they get either a bit on the hyper side or when they loudly proclaim “I’m bored!” I really do find myself missing them soon after they have gone back. And these are just my brothers and sisters, I don’t have any kids of my own, yet.

My Brother’s Latest Technologies

I had a problem with my home computer this morning. Well, actually it was the printer. It stopped working. So I called my brother in a panic and he couldn’t do much over the phone so on his lunch break he came over to take a look. Of course, he had it fixed in no time – he’s so good with all this computer stuff.He had a minute to show off his latest gadget – a new iPhone. I haven’t seen one yet and I’m not surprised my brother got one – he always wants the latest and greatest gadgets.

The iPhone is really cool and he showed me a special clear case called Invisibleshield that he bought and put over the iPhone. You can’t even tell that it has a case on – it is really invisible unless the light catches it just so. The clear case protects the iPhone from any dirt and dust in the air. Since my brother wears his on his belt and rides a motorcycle, I guess the clear case is a very good idea.

Good Old VHS

After rummaging around in the basement for a good while this afternoon I finally found the tv rack that I promised Macina that she could use to put her two year old’s tv on in her new bed room. It is a small tv combo VCR that they can play all of the old children’s movies that we had on VHS. It works fairly well, but it sure makes a lot of noise when it stops and rewinds itself and I can’t find the remote.

A Whole New World

Due to so many people urging me to, I have gone ahead and started an account on Facebook. It is a whole new world to me and it will take me a bit to get it all figured out but so far so good. It’s only been a few weeks and all ready I have a ton of “friends” and several people that I’ve known from years ago have contacted me through it’s search features, you gotta love it.

Just last night I found that a friend from elementary school had found her way to my account. She provided me with her phone number and we talked for over an hour on the phone last night. Thank goodness for my unlimited long distance that I currently have on my land line. She is living in Denver Colorado, married with children and living the life, which is so good to hear. Both she and her husband are secure in their jobs, are in good health and live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood.

Her biggest news was that she and her husband were both experiencing weight issues so they decided to go over to the U.K. where she received the  tummy tuck surgery  that has become so popular these days and her husband had liposuction done on him. They incorporated a vacation away from the kids and had the surgery done at the same time. She sent me the before and after pictures of them and I have to say that I’m impressed. It’s good to know that the economy hasn’t played havoc on everyone that I know.

Wrestling

Been taking some time looking at Suplay wrestling gear that my son will need in a few weeks when school starts and he gets back into his favorite sport of wrestling. Last year he did pretty well for it being his first time. It surprised me to see that he did so well considering he really isn’t what I would consider the wrestling type, but he seems determined and I will back him all the way as long as he keeps his grades up and doesn’t get seriously hurt in the process.

Cheap Sun Glasses

I went to the Flea Market on Sunday, the rains finally stopped and the sun was shining and the place was packed with vendors and customers as well. There was a dealer selling sun glasses for $12 or two for $20, so I found two pairs that I think look good and walked away a happy camper.

Email Marketing Options

Was reading an interesting blog post about email marketing that my sister sent to me in a link on Facebook. As I have mentioned we are in the process of starting our own small family run and owned business and we are looking at various marketing options. The Yellow Pages are out of the question, it’s all about the Internet these days and those advertising options are a whole new ballpark for us. We have a lot to figure out, but we have plenty of time and aren’t going to rush into anything, baby steps, we want to do this thing right the first time.

Breaking In My New Boots

Today was the perfect riding day. I was so thrilled when my bud Mike called and said he was on his way over on his Harley to take me for a nice long ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway. I got a chance to wear my new Motorcycle Riding Boots for the third time, it will take a few more rides to get them really broke in, but they are nice looking and comfortable, so I’m a happy camper so far with them.

I have needed a nice break on the back of a bike, I’m so thankful for my friends that keep me in mind for rides all year round.

Restaurant Equipment

When I was much younger I entertained the though of becoming a professional cook, owning and running my own small and quaint restaurant or maybe a bed and breakfast even. I still love to cook but have come to realize that a love to cook isn’t the only thing you need to be able to run a successful restaurant these days. But I do find myself at times looking at restaurants with a different eye then the normal customer, and I really love looking at various and interesting restaurant equipment at RapidsWholesale.com, a girl can still dream can’t she?
