Last night I saw a commercial for some sort of mouth guard, "no more snoring," guaranteed. If it doesn't work you can return it and get your money back. So, what happens? You snore and are married or living with someone. I guess you could ask them to stay awake and listen. If you live alone, well, then you have a problem. I suppose you could buy a sound activated tape recorder, maybe? The company that sells these should have a "listening" service. But, how would you know if they were telling the truth?
It's Trash Day Thursday and really, really, really nasty out. I just ran out to bring in the trash containers and got drenched. It's dark, raining and very windy. I was going to go out and get some coffee this morning, that didn't and isn't going to happen.
I wrote the following in honor of our cruise, thought you may enjoy them.
There was a young lady from France
Who left for her cruise without pants
At first she was blue
But then thought it through
and just knew she'd have fun at the dance.
There was a young man name of Fred
who while sun tanning turned horribly red
tho it wasn't the sun
that got him overdone
it was the topless deck
he thought would be fun
there was an experienced traveler named Rick
on his very first cruise he got sick
each time the ship hit a wave
he would look oh so brave
but he needed a bathroom
and quick
On the cruise was a fellow named Paul
who when walking would bounce off the wall
"It's not what you think
I've had too much to drink"
It's the waves that are twenty feet tall
Wanda and I were watching "American Pickers" last night. The guys were looking through a lot of gasoline and oil advertising signs. The storage facility also had a number of old, really old, gas pumps, one with an 11 cent per gallon price tag. I started thinking about what I thought was "IT" back when I was a kid. I guess I'm going back to 1960-2?
I don't remember the circumstances but I saw a paycheck of I think, an uncle. Printed on the lower right cornor under the signature line was "not good for over $250.00." At the time I couldn't imagine earning two hundred fifty dollars a week, let alone more. That seemed like so much money to me, like maybe a millionaire. My ultimate then was two fifty a week in salary, a five thousand dollar car and a fifty thousand dollar home.
I saw a commercial for a KIA yesterday, thirty thousand dollars. If the company is going to be selling cars for that much money maybe they should come up with a longer name.
About five years ago, believe it or not, small three bedroom one bath homes around here were selling at $450,000. I bet you could find one today for not much more than that fifty thousand....(my tongue is planted in my cheek, but pretty shallow).
It's actually a tad late for lunch but I need to eat something now. This evening we are having salmon fillets, sweet potato fries, and asparagus. The "Fairy Dust" will be flying tonight.
