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.
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.
LOL At A Short Love Story
SHORT LOVE STORY
There is a man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, they found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.
Though they wereboth initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.
Around 1:00 AM , the man leaned down and gently woke up the woman saying,………. ‘Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.’
‘I have a better idea,’ she replied ‘Just for tonight,…… let’s pretend that we’re married.’
‘Wow!………………….. That’s a great idea!’, he exclaimed.
‘Good,’ she replied. ………….’Get your own f….g blanket.’
Then after a moment of silence, he farted.
The End
Friends from Junior High School Days
I have a girlfriend that I have known since Junior High School, and she and her husband moved to Denver Colorado a few years back and I have been meaning to visit them and we think that it is time to plan such a visit. They both work at the same company which is a Heating and Air Conditioning company by the name of Lucky Duct that also does duct work also, by the way, which is something that he has done all of his life, after leaving the army back in the 70’s. While she is the office manager and does a variety of things that keep them both busy, especially since he is a technician that is on call 24/7.
I keep in constant contact with my old friend through weekly emails and we talk on the phone at least once a month, they are good people and I’m glad that I have such a wonderful long time friend. In her last email she sent the link to Lucky Duct where you can see all of the services that this female owned business offers, which is so much more than air conditioning & air duct cleaning as you will see.
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.
Hair Issues
I’ve decided that I am sick and tired of dealing with my hair every day. I have always had long hair and I have come to where I really would like to spend my time doing other things rather than dealing with my hair so much of the time. I’m going to start looking at pictures of different hair styles and see what I can find and then take that picture that I’ve decided on to the hair stylist and see what they think.
I’ll keep you posted and perhaps I’ll have a photo or two that I’ll put here as well. We will see.
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!
