Roseanne Needs A Big Bang

There must be some type of Roseanne marathon going on this past week or so. As much as I love the Roseanne show that was so popular in the 90’s I have become tired of the reruns over and over. I have to admit that once in a blue moon I will see one that I don’t remember, but not often enough to be glued to the TV in anticipation of one of those showing up. It’s too bad that this show had to come to an end. It really was an awesome show, with an awesome cast, many of them we get to see showing up on the new hit TV show The Big Bang Theory which has become one of my favorite shows these past couple of years.

Look who are dating again after all these years and on a completely different show!

The C.D. Turns 30 Today

Today it will be 30 years to the day that the C.D. (compact disc) came out and was put on the market. 30 years ago, isn’t that a trip? And from what I understand it was Billy Joel that can claim to be the first artist to come out on the C.D. in Japan with his 52nd Street album. The first C.D. player came out the very same day. An interesting piece of trivia that I wanted to share.

Photography

It’s too bad that I never took photography seriously back in school. We had a great teacher who became very well-known in the photography world and really loved teaching everything that he knew and was continuing to learn to his students. Some of them became professional photographers and have done quite well. I love taking pictures, but am lacking what it takes to constantly and consistently shoot good photos. One day I would love to take a class to learn more about it, I do so appreciate a really great shot, much like the one below that I found online today.

Arts and Crafts Online

We keep hoping that an arts and crafts store will open up here in town. We used to have a Ben Franklins but that closed down years ago so now we have to drive almost an hour to get to a store to buy the arts and crafts that we want and need. Walmart has some items but for the most part we get our art supplies from MisterArt.com which is a great place to get all kinds of arts and crafts supplies at some great prices. Thank goodness for the Internet once again.

No Socks For Men and No Stockings For Women

What is going on here guys? I keep seeing men on TV that appear to not be wearing any socks and it just looks so gross. Are they really not wearing any socks or are they wearing see through knee high hose? A few months ago I was watching a TV show “Millionaire Match Maker” and I remember hearing the match maker tell one of the ladies in waiting to take her panty hose off because they are not in fashion any more. So I guess it is men and women that are changing what they wear on their feet and legs and I don’t like it one bit.

Friends In The Military

Was checking the custom air force shirts selection at Rangerup.com today. I really, really, really like this site. Their motto: Not everyone’s war stories end in High School – was what caught my attention a while back while I was up late one night mindlessly surfing the Internet. I ended up Bookmarking the site and I come back to it every now and then to see what mind blowing stuff they are putting out there for us all.

With Christmas coming up I am looking for some ideas to mull around and I love their custom air force shirts selection. I have many friends in the military, a few in each of branches actually. When I stop and think about it I know more people that I originally thought that have and are putting their lives on the line for their family and our country and there are several that I buy Christmas presents for each year. I’m thinking I’ll be spending more time at RangerUp.com as Christmas gets nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer………..

Beach Time in January

My BFF and I have agreed that we are going to look for north carolina beach house rentals for us to stay at in January when both of our kids, who are 16 now and will be 17 by the time January rolls around, will be out of school for the MLK holiday, which if I remember correctly is January 18 -21. The rates should be really good considering it will be in the middle of winter and of course we won’t be doing any swimming in the ocean. But there will be plenty of other fun things for us to do besides swimming. Hopefully we can find something that will have a hot tub that we all can enjoy if we feel the need for water.

Dirty Money

Thought FOR THE DAY

I’m just passing this thought along …..

Have you ever wondered if the one dollar bills in your wallet were ever in a strippers’s G-string or possibly in some bums shoe?

If not, you’re wondering now.

Have a nice day .

 

oh-shit

(They say money is the dirtiest thing we handle)

Mars and Venus

They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. I have not read that book but I get the concept.

Here’s a snapshot of the two scarecrows that I made last year. I made one of the boy scarecrows into a girl by adding lipstick and eyelashes with marker pens. Then I cut off the straw bow tie from around her neck and stuck it under her hat to make bangs.

So my ex husband came over and took a look at the curb to take a look at my handiwork. I thought I was pretty clever with my “gender change” techniques. He took one look at the two scarecrows and this is what he said, “Can’t you stick something down her shirt so she has boobs?”
