New Camera

I took my digital camera with me to the 4th of July fireworks display in town the other night. It was giving me some trouble, I was so disappointed because I really wanted to get some good shots of the spectacular firework display that we get to see just once a year around these parts.

The next day I fiddled around with it, put in a new battery, the whole ball of wax, but I couldn’t get it to cooperate. What a bummer, it wasn’t a cheap camera and I’m not too happy about having to dish more of my hard earned cash at this point, but I really enjoy and need a decent camera these days. Guess I start checking out some cameras online and see if I can find a good deal via the Internet. Lord knows I don’t feel like going from store to store in this heat!

Time for a Make-Over or Two

I’ve been itching to start a make over for my bedroom. I’d really like to get some new Bed Linens to start with. I’ve been looking online for the past couple of weeks at some of the Comforters that are out now, some nice colorful ones that I’ve set my eyes on. Of course if I purchase these items I may as well look into some nice new colorful Bed Pillows to really them off nicely.

It’s been a long time since I done anything for my bedroom. I think the last thing I did was to buy some new bed side Lamps that I found at the flew market. I love going to the flea market but some thing I do prefer to purchase brand new. With the Internet bringing so many things right to our finger tips there is just so much to choose from.

After take care of a few things in the bedroom, I’ve been thinking that the bathroom has been looking pretty shabby and certainly use some spicing up. There are plenty of Home Accessories sites online that I’m sure I’ll be checking into. I’ll look for places that offer free shipping and that accept PayPal, those are two important factors in making my decision.

Tosh.0

One of my favorite shows is on the Comedy Channel, it’s called Tosh.O. I stumbled onto it several months ago and fell in love with the show and the host Tosh. I’m glad that they are now showing some new episodes, since I’ve seen all the reruns all ready.

The Comedy Channel rocks!!!!

What Happened To The T.P.

Went with my list to the grocery store today and filled the basket up with enough supplies to hopefully last a week or so. The most important thing on the list, besides milk, was toilet paper. When I got home and unloaded all the stuff, I noticed that I was missing the toilet paper. I knew darn well that I picked a brand out and put it in the basket. So I checked my receipt to see if I had paid for it and if it just didn’t make it’s way back into the basket after the cashier was done scanning it. Unfortunately there was no toilet paper on the receipt, so it is a mystery on where it ended up. At least I wasn’t charged for it, but now I have to use some dinner napkins until I can make it to the grocery store again tomorrow night, bummer.

Sunglasses For Father’s Day

For Father’s day I wanted to get my Dad a nice pair of men’s sunglasses. He has a habit of losing his sunglasses and is always needing a new pair, so I knew that he would appreciate a nice pair as a gift. At the mall there is a kiosk that sells only sunglasses, so I took a trip downtown to take a look and see what they had for sale in the line of mens sunglasses. OMG I couldn’t believe the prices they were asking. I mean I know that anything that you buy at the mall is going to be a bit more expensive, due to the overhead that is required by mall management, but there just has to be a limit some how where they aren’t taking so much of people’s hard earned money.

Anyway, that turned out to be a dead end, but I did get a good idea of some of the styles that are popular these days. So I took that information and went online and found a great website that had some great mens sunglasses at some pretty decent prices at menssunglasses.com and found some nice looking Aviator sunglasses for only $14.99. And since they offer free shipping for orders of $25 or more I ordered two pairs. They don’t even charge a sales tax, which is a bonus. At that price I could afford two pairs for my Dad to enjoy and since he loses them so quickly I’m sure two pairs won’t last long.

My order came in quickly, so I got them in time for Father’s Day and everyone ended up happy.

PowWow

I promised my niece that I would take her to a Pow Wow over the weekend, the same one that I took her to last year. It’s a 2 hour drive over several mountains, but worth the time and effort. We left early this year in order to get there nice and early, to get good seats. Took a cooler full of cold drinks, a soft blanket and a tent for shade. We learned our lesson last year and wanted to come prepared this year.

It was a blast, but the temperature was in the high 90’s and we really were very miserable, along with the other several hundred people that attended. It didn’t end until 6:00pm but by 2:30 most people had left due to the heat and we headed out early as well. This heat wave has been horrible. I mean it is only June for heaven’s sake, not mid August!

Next year if the weather isn’t decent we won’t be attending. I’ll be looking for a Pow Wow that is held inside where we will be nice and comfortable in a controlled environment.

Shopping for a Dell Netbook

After browsing through many different laptops, I finally came to the conclusion that it was not a laptop I was actually looking for, but rather a netbook! It was quickly apparent to me that Dell was going to be the best choice because their netbooks not only had the best appearance and specifications but, the best prices as well. But I’m still shopping and if anyone has a netbook that they love and its not a Dell, I’d love to hear what you bought and if you think it is better than Dell.

TV Channels

I have been getting burned out on TV lately, not that I have a lot of time to sit down and watch a lot of TV but when I do I want to watch something entertaining and/or interesting. There are way too many shows about crime going on that people are turning to and turning on each night, not me I’m looking for something that will make me laugh or teach me something.

The Animal Planet has been on my TV a lot these past few weeks, along with the Discovery and History Channels. They do and can provide me with a lot of good quality information that I know I can trust to be accurate and reliable.

Accutane Lawsuit

It has been a while since I’ve seen a commercial for Accutane, which was a very well known treatment for acne. It actually treated 13 million patients since their inception back in 1982, but caused a lot of damage during that time as well.

I was reading about one of the many accutane lawsuit against Hoffman La Roche. This company has been put through the ringer due to the miss use of their product. Don’t get me wrong, if the company screwed up then they need to compensate people for their losses.

Getting involved in a lawsuit such as this one can drag on for quite some time. I’m going to keep my eyes and ears open and alert in an effort to stay informed on how these lawsuits pan out.

I impressed myself with posting things, I didn’t think that the blinking of the eyes would transfer over and actually work, yeah me! I love my computer but some times some of the smallest things can really send me right over the edge……..
