No need to say anything about these signs, I think what is already printed says it all.
Web Hosting Issues
My brother has been urging me to switch my web hosting to Web Hosting Hub. He says that they offer reliable web hosting and that he has been happy with them for some time now.
My brother is a total computer whiz and I’m grateful for all that he has done for me over the years with my various computer issues and needs. He hasn’t steered me wrong yet, so I guess I’ll consider switching over. I don’t think that making a major decision or move right now would be in my best interest, but after the hot and humid days and nights are over and done with I’ll be back on track with most things and I think it would be the best time to make a change such as this.
I’m hoping that I’ll be getting a new laptop for my birthday, that would be awesome. My mother has been picking my brain for a few weeks now trying to find out what the perfect gift would be for her to give me on that morning and I’ve told her time and time again that I have everything that I need other than a new laptop. I don’t want to get my hopes up but it really would be a great if she did do that for me.
Do You Want to Be A Mermaid or a Whale?
Recently, in a large city in Australia, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.
It said, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern,
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.) They have an active sex life, get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia , the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex? Just look at them … where is IT? Therefore, they don’t have kids either. Not to mention, who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store? The choice is perfectly clear to me: I want to be a whale.
P..S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, ¨Good grief, look how smart I am!¨
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.
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.
Spring Cleaning Time Again. . .
I mean really how hard can it be to get on your computer and go to the Google search and type in “cost of professional carpet cleaning austintexas” or “discount carpet cleaning services austin texas” or something of that nature in order for my aging aunt to get her carpets thoroughly cleaned. That way one of us doesn’t have to make the long drive to her place and use her very old and broken down do it yourself carpet cleaner that she has had for years, and should have thrown out ages ago in an effort to help her with her spring cleaning that she goes all out for each and every spring.
It didn’t use to be that big of a deal when more of us still lived locally or at least in the same state. But as most families have, folks have been moving further and further away as time goes by. But now that it is just a small handful and life is keeping everyone busy as bees trying to work as many jobs as they can find in these tough economic times that we have found ourselves in the middle of for way too long now.
So now we are trying to get my aunt to start using her computer more. For the most part she just uses it for emails and sending photos to friends and family. She knows her way around the keyboard and can type a million words a minute but as far as using it for researching anything or anyone is still something that she needs work and help with. Which is another task that one of needs to take by the horns with her as well, God Bless her.
Purses and Flip Flops Are In The News
A few months ago I was hearing of all the nasty germs that were found on the bottom of purses. I have been trying to keep up with keeping my purse’s bottom side a bit cleaner and not putting on the kitchen counter or dining room table. Now the big news is about how dirty our flip flops are and how they are finding all types of gross germs on them. Guess I’ll have to start paying better attention to my flip flops now, sigh………………..
As much as I hate germs I just don’t think I could put my flip flops in the dishwasher along with a load of dishes, that’s just wrong!
Flash Freeze
Spent so much time looking at the fresh fish counter that someone from the grocery store’s fish department actually came over and started talking to me. He asked if I was looking for anything special, and I told him I was looking for tilapia.
He pointed out the section of frozen fish that was displayed in a freezer section right next to the fresh fish counter. There a big bag of tilapia in the freezer, on sale for only $4.99 and he told me that the frozen was a better price than the fresh.
When I wrinkled up my nose at the idea of frozen instead of fresh, he explained that the fishermen catch the tilapia out on the water in big nets, and then they clean and flash freeze the fish right on board the boat. So, the frozen are actually fresher than the fresh ones that are taken back to port, cleaned on land and then put on a truck and driven for a couple of days to the stores. Isn’t that ironic? But it does make sense!
