Have you heard about this?

This is just about the funniest thing I have ever heard or read.  It’s a good lesson in “Think before you speak” and that’s a lesson we all have to keep learning unfortunately!!

This one had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow, but don’t get any? We had a female news anchor who,the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked:

So Bob, where’s that 8 inches you promised me last night?

Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, they were laughing so hard!

Mosquito problem?

Anywhere there are people, there will be mosquitoes!  I hate those little blood sucking varmints.  Boy have I found the answer to stopping them too.  It’s called a Mosquito Magnet and it attracts and kill mosquitoes.  All you have to do is go to mosquitomagnet.com and learn more about the product.

It uses a product called lurex and other things to bring the mosquitoes into the trap so it can kill them.  From the information I read on their web site, this is the way to go if you have a mosquito problem and I don’t know many people that don’t.   Oh and they have great support for you once you purchase one of their products so there’s no fear of poor customer service with them and that can be hard to find in this day in time.

Hey, she sounds like me!!!

Some of my employees were playing around with my computer and found this lady called “The Fruitcake Lady” and told me that I was on YouTube, that I had to come and see.  Well that’s not really me but she sure sounds like me when she answers the questions people are asking her.  She’s a pistol and full of it, if you catch my drift.  Hang on because here she is!!!

I have a strange sense of humor

I thought these were the funniest comics I have seen in a long time.  I sure hope you get at least a smile from them.  There’s nothing better than passing on a smile, now is there?  Besides, it’s time for a little humor, don’t you think?

Friends

Far too many times we take our friends for granted.  No one should ever do that.  A true friend will be there when you need them even if it’s just to listen to you cry in the middle of the night because you lost your pet.  A true friend will also help you out if at all possible when you need them either with money or just a hug.  I am honored to say that I have many friends that I have accumulated throughout the many years of my life.

One of the most important things you can do for your friend is to let them know just what a difference they have made in your life.  In fact, you should do that to anyone that has touched your life.  You never know when they won’t be around anymore and the last thing you want is for them to leave this world without knowing they made a difference in your life so make sure to tell them today.  Tomorrow may be too late because we are only promised right now.  We never know when our time on this earth is through, do we?

Those were the days!!!

A friend of mine sent me this email and it’s amazing how much life has changed in just a few years.  You may have received this in your email too but just in case you didn’t, I wanted to share it with you.  It really shows how far we have progressed if that’s what you want to call it.  Sure some of the changes are for the better but most of them aren’t but that’s my opinion and you know what they say about opinions!!!

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!!

  1. First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
  2. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
  3. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
  4. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads..
  5. As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.
  6. Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
  7. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
  8. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.
  9. We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren’t overweight. WHY? Because we were always outside playing…that’s why!
  10. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
  11. No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.
  12. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times,we learned to solve the problem.
  13. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD’s, no surround-sound or CD’s, no cell phones, no person al computers, no Internet and no chat rooms. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
  14. We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
  15. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
  16. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
  17. We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.
  18. Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment.  Imagine that!!
  19. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
  20. These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
  21. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.

Tax Day, UGGGHHH!!!

Well this is it!!  It’s time to get those taxes done by the end of the day today or you could face a lot of penalties if you owe.  Most people that are due a refund have already filed.  It’s the ones that have to pay that are waiting till the last minute.  I can’t say as I blame them because a lot of people are not happy with what our tax dollars are being thrown away on and many have lost their jobs and are going to have a hard time finding the money to pay what they owe.

I just hope everyone is able to find the money because the government charges you more to make payments to them.  That just doesn’t seem right when they can hold our money they owe us and we don’t get anything extra for that but yet they can charge us more when we owe them and can’t pay right away.

Jimmy Buffet the author

I have always enjoyed the tropical type music that Jimmy Buffet is so well known for producing and I have heard that he has written some books lately, but have never seemed to be able to come upon any of his books until just recently.

So I was thrilled to find one of his books called “A Salty Piece of Land” at my favorite used book store, and for only $2 and I’ve really enjoyed the reading of it this past week. I’m glad that inside of the book it tells me the names of his other books that I will need to see if I can find at a good bargain also. I’m especially interesting in finding the one entitled “A Pirate Looks At Fifty”, if I can’t find it locally then I guess I could always look on-line and see if I can find it somewhere out there in cyber-world, for cheap.

Need your car transported?

When most people are deciding on which mode of auto transport to go with, cost can be the main thing they look at.  How the price is determined by each Auto Transport company can be completely different. A driver of an open transporter determines his price per vehicle based on the route he is driving perhaps while the enclosed drivers’ price per vehicle is based on miles driven; the more miles traveled the cheaper per mile. Fuel prices unfortunately has a lot to do with the cost too.

I’m sure that is you just have a car, you know what I mean, one that gets you back and forth from work and that’s all it is to you, then it’s might not really matter how you have it transported.  The main thing you’re looking for is the cheapest way to get it from point A to point B.  However, it you have a car or truck that is your ‘pride and joy’ as some put it, then you want a carrier that will protect your car from the elements or possible damage that can happen in an open carrier.

One things for sure, whoever you  choose to transport your vehicle, they are responsible for your second largest purchase with your house being the first so you want to be able to trust them completely.

Eat according to your blood type?

I was in a health food store the other day and they had books in there about eating according to your blood type.  I am type O blood so I sort of glanced through the book.  It seems that type O blood needs more meat and green vegetables than grains and even some fruits.  It breaks down which foods (by category) are most beneficial, neutral and which ones you should avoid.

According to this book by Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo, if you eat according to your blood type, you will be healthier, feel better and live longer.  Well since Joe and I both have a bit of high cholesterol, I bought the small book you can take with you to the grocery store and will probably end up getting the full size book to learn even more about this type of diet.

I’m always on the lookout for something to help  be healthier and stay that way and I really don’t think it would hurt to at least give it a try and see if this doctor is a quack or if he’s on to something.  I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
