Beautiful furniture!

I’m a modern kind of girl and therefore like modern furniture.  The problem has always been to find what I really have in mind that I want.  Well I have solved that problem.  I have found the most beautiful furniture that is modern furniture I have found so far and they have a variety of styles too.

I found the most gorgeous living rooms you have ever seen.  The lines are clean, the colors amazing and the variety of materials are amazing.  Can you tell I really like what they have to offer?  The main problem I have with them is that there are so many to choose from that it’s hard to decide.  I can see about 8 of them in my living room.

Let’s not forget the bedrooms.  I can imagine myself curled up in the middle of several of their choices snug as a bug in a rug.  Wouldn’t it be great to wake up in one of their beds?  Oh and their tables and even closets are absolutely amazing  too.  I’m in furniture heaven!!!

How about a joke?

GRACE, seemed sheepish as she visited her gynecologist.  ‘Come now,’ coaxed the doctor, ‘you’ve been
seeing me for years! There’s nothing you can’t tell me.’

‘This one’s kind of strange…’

‘Let me be the judge of that,’the doctor replied.

‘Well,’ she said, ‘yesterday I went to the bathroom in the morning and heard a plink-plink-plink in the toilet and when I looked down, the water was full of pennies.’

‘I see.’

‘That afternoon I went to the bathroom again and, plink-plink-plink, there were nickels in the bowl. That night,’ she went on, ‘I went again, plink-plink-plink, and there were dimes and this morning there were quarters ! You’ve got to tell me what’s wrong with me!,’ she implored, ‘I’m scared out of my wits!’

The gynecologist put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

‘There, there, it’s nothing to be scared about.’

(Ready for this?)

‘You’re simply going through the change!

Two deaths at Monster Truck show in about a week

I personally have never gone to a monster truck show and after reading about this, I don’t think I care to go.  Just a little over a week ago, a 6 year old boy was struck in the head by flying debris from one of the monster trucks and now this.

A promoter for the Motor Sports Monster Truck & Thrill Show has died from injuries after an accident at the Dane County Coliseum, just over a week after a 6-year-old boy was killed in a monster truck event in Tacoma, Wash.

The Dane County Coroner said 41-year-old George Eisenhart Jr. of Chardon, Ohio, died after an accident Saturday night in Madison. A witness told the Wisconsin State Journal that Eisenhart walked in front of one of the monster trucks just as it was about to pass by.

The newspaper said organizers immediately halted the remainder of the show. On Jan. 16 at the Tacoma Dome, Sebastian Hizey died after he was struck in the head by a chunk of metal that tore off a truck doing doughnuts during the Monster Jam show.

I don’t know how they could make these types of shows safer unless they were held in outside venues where they were not so close to the audience but then people would complain that they could not see the monster trucks good enough.  I think I’ll just stay away from them.  They are getting to be a bit too dangerous if you ask me.

Found some more mailboxes I like

Remember me telling you about the other mailbox I have?  Well I found some even better mailboxes.  These are for not only residential but also commercial mailboxes.  One of the best things is these mailboxes are theft proof and there fore protect your identity by not allowing just anyone to get to your mail.  You can’t be too careful these days with all of the identity theft around.

There is a wide variety of materials used to make these mailboxes too.  You can get one made of steel, aluminum, cedar, stainless steel, brass, or copper.   What ever suits you and goes with your type of house.  They have formal styles or novelty type mailboxes too.  If you have a brick thing built to hold your mailbox, any of these will slide right in.

They have a variety of curb side mailboxes, wall mounted mailboxes, locking mailboxes, vandal resistant mailboxes and even commercial mailboxes.  You have seen those mailboxes at apartments that is a big block of mailboxes that you have to open with a key, well that type of mailbox.  Check them out and see if you can find one you like if a mailbox is what you’re looking for.

Do you have allergies?

I didn’t have them either but I do now.  Mold and dust kills me.  I got a Honeywell air cleaner that has an ionizer on it and I’m a lot better as long as I’m at home anyway.  But when you have allergies, you’ll take any relief you can get even if it’s just at home.  Honeywell are darn good air cleaners too.  As long as you change the outer filter about every three months, the hepa filter will last for about 3 years.  That’s not too bad.  Some air cleaners have you change the hepa filter ever 3 to 6 months and that can run into some money.  I have tried them all and I recommend Honeywell.

I’m a ‘Pick-up Truck’ kinda girl

A lot of ladies like the little sporty cars or the cute little cars but I’m a pick-up truck kinda girl.  I think I should have been a boy.  I never have been what you might call a ‘girly girl’.  I was always a tom boy.  What ever Daddy was doing, I was too.  Daddy had a dodge 1500 and I loved it.  In fact, I bought Daddy’s truck from Mom when we lost Daddy.

I had thought about trading it for a 2009 dodge 1500 but decided to keep Daddy’s because the new truck just wouldn’t smell like Daddy the way his did.  They are really good trucks too.  In fact, if you want to check them out, they have dodge 1500 reviews you can check out online.  You’ll see what good trucks they are from that.

I like just about any dodge they make in all reality.  I love their vans.  After all, dodge came out with the first vans and they make the best still today.  Once I get married and have kids, I’ll probably have a dodge caravan.  I love them.  My sister has one and it has a DVD player in it with the stow-n-go seats.  That’s the best thing they ever came out with in a van.  It really gives you a lot of room in the back if you need to haul something.

Parents lose custody because of childrens names

In Holland Township, New Jersey, three children were taken from their parents because the parents named the three little girls Nazi names of all things.  There was a little girl taken from her parents in New Zealand and the courts changed the childs name.  Her name was ‘Talula does the hula in Hawaii’.  But this one beats her name.

Holland Township Police Sgt. John Harris said workers from the state Division of Youth and Family Services removed 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, from their home Tuesday.

The children and their parents, Heath and Deborah Campbell, received attention last month when a supermarket bakery refused to put Adolf Hitler Campbell’s name on a birthday cake.

I do believe a parent has a right to name a child what ever they want to name that child but for crying out loud, Adolf Hitler Campbell?  It’s sort of like Frank Zappa naming his kids Moon Unit, Dweezel and Motorhead.  He has a right but at least the names weren’t  names that are associated with so much hate like the Nazi names these people gave their children………..daughters to be exact.

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

Don’t you just love birthdays?  Especially When it’s someone else that’s getting older and not you.  Only problem is the older they get, the older you get.  Funny how that happens isn’t it?  Well today is my Mothers birthday and no I can’t tell you how old she is but she’ going down the other side of the hill now for sure.  Sorry Mom!!!  You know I love ya, mean it!!!

Mom has a good sense of humor unless you do something she doesn’t like at all like tell her name.  Oh we can hint about being over the hill like I just did and she thinks that’s funny but we better not tell just how far she is over that hill if you know what I mean.  She’s a spunky lady and always has been.  We learned pretty young not to push her because she’ll push back.

I just wanted to let you know just how much I love you and admire you.  You are my inspiration, my hope, my friend and most of all, my mother. You have encouraged me to be what I am today and for that, I thank you.  So Happy Birthday and I hope to share many more with you.

What an historic day

Today will go down in history for sure.  Not only do we have a new President, but he is a bi-racial of African decent.  I think it’s wrong to simply call him an African-American President.  He’s much more than that.  His father was an immigrant from Kenya, Africa but his mother was white.  But none of that really matters in all reality and when we can quit putting labels on everyone, then we will have a much better world.

We judge people too much by the labels we place up on them.  Gay, Lesbian, Catholic, Baptist, Muslim, White, Black (or African-American) and the list goes on and on.  We are all Americans.  We should not be divided by Irish-Americans, African-American, German-American or anything like that which only serves to divide our country.  We are Americans.  The only true American is the many tribes of American Indians.  We are all of some decent but who we are are Americans and I hope that with the new President, that sentiment will ring!!!!!

I bet you know someone going

I can just about bet that most people know someone that will be there when our new President is sworn in.  I know of several people that will be there.  I don’t care that much for crowds so I’ll just watch it on TV or see it on the evening news.  I can feel so much excitement in the air too.  Everyone is looking so much to Barack Obama being President that it’s amazing.

It might be that everyone is so excited that George W. Bush won’t be in there anymore too.  I’ve heard that a lot too.  One things for sure, I wouldn’t want the job.  Our new President has so much on his plate right from the word ‘go’ that the poor man probably won’t get much sleep the first several months in office.  I sure wish him all the luck in the world.

I really think that if anyone can straighten out the many messes we are in, he’s the man that can do it.  At least I hope and pray he is the man that can do it.  A lot of people have placed their faith in him and expect a lot of him.  I think he can handle most anything that comes at him.
