Lots of things on my mind….
I don’t know if you have had a bad winter or not but it has not been very pleasant around here, that’s for sure. You would not believe how stupid I acted the other day at just the sight of a Robin.
Robins are a sign that spring is on it’s way to me. Then to top it all off, I found some crocus in bloom and my daffodils up under some leaves that had blown in my yard. I can’t wait for spring!!! Bet you can’t either, huh? Come on warm weather!!
Spring is just around the corner and I really could use a new camera. My old camera is about six years old and just a bit of a dinosaur. I don’t have all day to sit on the computer and search for cameras and photography and I’m sure that’s true for most people.
Besides, I’m not sure just what type of camera I want. There are so very many different types and styles out there. I love a site that tells you about more than just one type of camera and gives you information of several. I was thinking about a Cannon PowerShot and found everything I needed to make my choice. I didn’t know there were so many different types of them either.
Thanks for the post from Stan Atkins
When I get the chance, I like to sit down and watch the Dog Whisperer on satellite tv. This is one of my favorite shows because I like dogs and want to know as much as I can about them. Cesar Milan works with dogs that other people would often give up on. I like that.
Casar can take a dog that is aggressive and make it into a good house pet in no time flat. There have been cases where he was unable to accomplish that right in the home of the person he was trying to help, but he didn’t give up on the dog.
Cesar has a place where he can take renegade dogs and introduce them to his pack of dogs. Most of these dogs were renegades too and with his help they have become good canine citizens who get along well with the others.
What Cesar does during his show is teach people the nature of dogs. This alone is a great way to help them learn how to train their own dogs. Once you know the way dogs think, you can do much more with them. He instructs the dog owners not to treat their pet dog like children because they interpret that as weakness and they will then try to take over the position of alpha in the pack.
So the Packers kicked some butt last night, I’m glad to say. This year’s Super Bowl game tuned into a great action packed evening that kept folks on the edge of their seat all the way through. It’s about time that the Steeler fans got knocked down a notch or two this year. Now let’s see what next year’s season will bring to us all.
My sister’s oldest daughter, Kim, is getting excited about graduating from high school this June. She is going to take a year off and then head to college the following year, or at least that is the plan as of now. The way things change around here you are never really sure until it happens. Kim is a smart kid and has the capability to do some pretty cool things in her lifetime, so we have all done our best to try and keep her right on track. This hasn’t always been easy, but 5 months to go and then she will be on her own.
Right now one of the concerns is her finding the best looking of the evening dresses for prom night which is a big deal in our small town. Since we don’t really live near a big city with a large mall to shop in you either have to go out of town to find your evening and/or prom dresses and hope that no one else goes there and buys the same one. Or you can shop online and find the perfect dress since there is still plenty of time. There are great deals to be found online, sites that are offering free shipping and accept PayPal always get my vote and my business.
Hard to believe that Kim will soon be eighteen and will be leaving the nest. I’ve watched her grow and have been very active in her life and I believe that she has a good head on her shoulders and that she won’t let us all down.
I always make time to watch the Super Bowl, so tonight I’m eating dinner and staying in for the evening to watch the biggest game of the year. Personally I’m not crazy about either the Steelers or the Packers, but I do believe that I’ll be rooting for The Packers this time around. Steeler fans are just down right bullies and I’d like them all to be put in their place this year.
Now I know that I don’t look or act the type of guy that would be interested in Mobile Trading, IRA Accounts and all the other things that tie into what Online Trading is all about these days. But I’ve heard so much about Stock Trading from a variety of folks that have found alternative ways to bring a decent income in such a screwed up economy that we have all found ourselves suffering from. With no light seemingly in sight at the end of this ever growing tunnel it is all too overwhelming and people are getting more desperate with each passing day, I’m sorry to say.
I’ve had, in the past, Mutual Funds, so I’m familiar with this type of financial gamble that I personally lost a good amount of my hard earned money in a matter of months. But Stock Trading and the use of an Online Broker are just a bit more over my head and I’d really like to start learning more about all of these Stock!s, Options, EFTs and Fixed Incomes for a starter I have a distant cousin who has consented to come over either Saturday or Sunday of next weekend and spend some time with me on my laptop and show me some of the ropes that he has been learning and finding out about the last 9 months or so. Even my eldest sister might join us to listen in and find out for herself in case she becomes interested as well. It is something that we could do together and learn together and possibly earn some money together. We will see how it pans out after the first initial meeting, so to speak.
Bruce , a tough looking biker was riding his motorcycle when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge so he stops.
“What are you doing?” he asks. “I’m going to commit a suicide,” she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn’t want to miss an opportunity he asked “Well, before you jump, why don’t you give me a kiss?”
So, she does. After she’s finished, Bruce the biker says, “Hell Darling, That was the best kiss I have ever had. That’s a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous! on earth are you committing suicide?”
“My parents don’t like me dressing up like a girl……”
Have you seen or heard of the new 2011 scion iq that is the talk of the town, so to speak. It is being designated as the friendly competitor of The Smart Car that we all have seen buzzing down the roads these past couple years. I don’t know anyone that owns one so that I can get their opinion on these tiny little mini vehicles. I guess I could go down to the dealership and take one out for a test drive one day. I’d like to see how they handle on the roads and at 55 MPH or more.
This scion iq launch is a mighty big to do for the micro-sub compact industry. We are finding the need for much smaller vehicles that don’t eat up as much energy as the vehicles that we have grown accustomed to. Check out scion.com and find out all you need to know about the line up that is ready and waiting for launching. These are some pretty cool looking little cars and I’m sure we will be seeing them up and down our roads here real soon. It will be interesting to see people’s reactions to them.
