Why Don’t Men Like Dr. Phil

I’ve never been much of an Oprah fan, I mean she has and does great things and in my opinion, she is a wonderful woman – I just never got into watching her talk show.  I know that she is responsible for Dr. Phil’s successful T.V. talk show, which I usually enjoy watching, if I am at home to watch it.

For a while there, he was boring me with what seemed to be nothing but unhappily married couples day after day, which I tired of quickly, and I know that at times he can appear very full of himself, but for the most part his show can, and does, stimulate my mind while being entertained, to boot!

I do notice that a good majority of men bash Dr. Phil and it really puzzles me.  Hubby even dislikes watching the show and carries on about how Dr. Phil isn’t really a shrink and isn’t licensed, and then he spouts off something about how he is really just a botanist,  I’m not sure where he came up with that info, and I’ve given up on trying to figure that one out.

So when it comes to watching a talk show that Hubby and I both enjoy, I must admit that the winner is ELLEN , hands down.

The Tiller

Hubby is taking his time getting the tiller ready for this year’s planting season and I’m getting anxious to get the ball rolling and the garden planted. If I knew how to do all that was necessary to get the darned thing ready I’d be more than glad to take care of it, but alas I’ve been kept in the dark when it comes to most of the “lawn care” equipment around here and the more I nag the more stubborn he becomes, sigh…..

Happy 55th Birthday BFF!

This is a shout out to my BFF on her 55th birthday! It sucks that we live so far away and don’t get to see each other but about once a year if we are lucky. We have been best friends since the 4th grade and have managed to maintain close and in touch all this time. Friends are hard to come by and true friends are nearly impossible to find and hold onto. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

Leap Year Birthday Boys

Every year I start looking for Leap Year Birthday cards to send to the to guys that were born on February 29th, Leap Year. It seems to me that there is a need for Leap Year Birthday cards and that the greeting card companies would realize this and offer the good folks that only get to celebrate their true birthday date once every four years a decent Leap Year birthday card.

Mobiles Underwater

It seems that a company has invented a way of putting a coating on mobile devices to make them repel water. It is called Ion Mask plasma surface enhancement made by P2I.

Although most of today’s devices have not been made with this coating applied, I’m thinking we are sure to see more sleek and less cracks in our next generation of mobile devices as a result of this technology. To think one day maybe people will be able to take their mobiles (cell phones, PDA, MP3’s, etc) in the shower and the tub with no fear of being shocked or the device not working anymore is awesome!

I am looking forward to getting my hands on one as soon as they hit the market, whenever that may be.

New Face Book

I am one of the few that doesn’t get all up in arms about the changes that Face Book has been enduring lately. None of the changes have been all that significant as far as I’m concerned. And this latest change, this “TIMELINE” is pretty cool if you ask me, it didn’t take me but a few minutes to figure it all out so these folks that are screaming bloody murder about the new “TIMELINE” are just being silly.

My daughter’s first club experience in D.C. scared me

My daughter has never been the club type, but a few of her girlfriends wanted to go to one in D.C. and had been talking her into going with them. She scared the heck out of me because I told her to call me when she arrived and when she was on her way back home, and she forgot to call me when she was leaving and she apparently fell asleep in the car and her girlfriend took her to her house to sleep, and her phone died so I, of course, freaked out. When she returned home the next morning at about 7am, and I was so happy that I could finally go to sleep after staying up all hours of the night worrying about my first born.

Gene Simmons is a “Hoot”

As some one who grew up in the 60’s and lived through the music of so many talented artists of the 50’s,60’s,70’s, and then, of course, the 80’s. My family was very music oriented and I had the opportunity to be exposed to all kinds of music and still do enjoy a variety of music to this day, when so many people limit theirs into just one or two kinds.

I remember the band by the name of KISS, they really made a statement and the public went wild about it, they certainly made a name for themselves and became extremely rich and famous with their hard rock, make-up and special effects that mainly consisted of some sort of fire.

So when I stumbled onto Gene Simmons reality show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, late one night I decided to check it out and I instantly became hooked on it. Once again I remember a lot of their music and for the most part enjoyed it, although I would not consider myself as a die hard fan, so I have not been following their lives, but for some reason their show is funny and entertaining and gives you an insight into their personal family life that just makes me feel good about them and it amuses me to watch them.

If you haven’t ever watched the show you may want to consider checking it out sometime for a laugh or two, usually at Gene Simmons expense.
