It's early July and I'm already thinking about Halloween.
It may have something to do with my rare and seldom viewing (as in never before) of the Hallmark Movie channel. I happened to tune in last night just as "Have a Little Faith" a movie based on a Mitch Album book was starting. Since Mitch writes about and lives in my home town Detroit I felt compelled to watch. Besides, I read "Tuesdays with Morrie" in 1997.
I'm not going to talk much about the movie. It was filled with Faith and Hope and Redemption. The presentation was fine it was the commercials I found terribly annoying. We had major cable, Internet and phone connectivity issues yesterday. Xfintiy is due here between 8 and 10 a.m. to diagnose and possibly fix the problem. I'll keep you posted. I didn't want to change the channel since the cable box kept freezing up so I sat and watched and suffered.
The Hallmark Movie Channel presents 34 Holiday movies beginning October 31st. Watch all your favorite Christmas movies and more 24 hours a day.
Christmas Movies? Halloween? It's early July.
What's next, a visit to Costco to buy candy and check out Thanksgiving accessories? Christmas is right around the corner.
Wanda and I are going up to Nevada City and The Outside Inn for Halloween this year and I need a costume.
Aside from the store that opens in a local shopping center every year I assumed the best place to look is on-line. My first site visit is a regular vendor with items like Harry Potter Hogwarts robes and Elmer Fudd full body suits.
Seven of the top ten selections for women are either Fairy, Princess, or Wicked Evil Bitch costumes. The other three are Sexy Victorian Lady, Sexy Pirate Lady and Sexy Native American Lady. You need to go to the adult section for Sexy Upstairs Maid and Sexy Nurse.
I worked in health care for years and I didn't see many, if any, sexy nurses. There was one young woman from Scotland but I couldn't understand much of what she said.
The top ten costumes for men are Super Hero's, Uncle Sam's, one of the Duck Dynasty guys and Homer Simpson complete with plastic doughnut.
The men are Super Hero's and Slobs the women Good or Evil. Even though I have a bad spouse from each category I know women have choices beside living life as a princess or a bitch.
I was going to talk to Wanda about dressing in a cow or horse costume but quickly realized I would be the ass. I'll keep thinking. A man with one foot in the grave would be relevant but I wouldn't be able to move much. I got it. I'm going to transform myself into a large vibrating egg.
In what is viewed as a risky endeavor TGI Friday's is rolling out a three week promotion of "Endless Appetizers."
Diners will have their choice of: Crispy Green Bean Fries, Boneless Buffalo Wings, Garlic & Basil Bruschetta (Bruschetta is an antipasto from
For just $10 customers can choose one and eat to the bursting point. Sharing is discouraged but one manager said, "We're not the appetizer police. No one is going to get a Buffalo Wing slapped out of their hand."
Friday's is hoping the salt loaded, high caloric, fat laden snacks will bring in people and increase bar sales. If the promotion is successful the restaurant chain has another ready, the 3-4-1.
Each time they order three individual endless appetizers patrons will be entered in a drawing. The grand prize, a free angioplasty, will be awarded on New Year's Day.
Am I Missing Something is becoming somewhat of a catch-phrase for me.
I'm not talking about Twitter, Instigram and the like. You already know I've yet to learn advanced social media use. I'm referring to every day world events
I've long accepted that situations and confrontations are whizzing past me at a rate I will never catch up with. Just when I think I have a grasp on something it's no longer relevant and three things have replaced it.
Cruelty, atrocities, moral outrage and indignation rears itself every hour of every day. I know because Facebook tells me so. I suppose I should be more concerned and aware but frankly I don't have the energy, or the time.
I'm tired of people killing each other. I'm sick of those that think their way is best for all. I'm fed up with fellow planet dwellers who don't get we're all in the same boat.
The Hell with It. Ignorance is Bliss. I'm going to Disneyland.
What a treat. I just spent an hour with 27-year-old Xfinity Technician Sam. He was here on time, was pleasant, efficient and fixed all our issues. We now have an updated modem, new cable and all new fittings. If Sam is representative of the new worker there's hope for us after all.
I recently read a statement asking for a moratorium on elevating stupid and virtually insignificant people to celebrity status. People like the Horny Housewives of Hollywood, The Kardashinans and Big Smo so I humbly ask your forgiveness for discussing this but I just can't help it.
After six months of marriage Pam Anderson and husband Rick Salomon are divorcing. They didn't do much better the second time as they tried it for a few months in 2007.
Pamela Anderson has been married three times. The first
marriage was to Tommy Lee in 1995 after they had known each other for 96 hours.
Her second marriage was to Robert J. Ritchie who is popularly known as Kid Rock
in 2006 and later divorced the same year. She got married again to Rick Salomon
in 2007 but the marriage did not last as it was annulled the following year.
My mere mention of her gives more significance to the story than it deserves but when I compare my simple life to her obviously screwed up and unhappy one, I feel wonderful.
What kind of a dumb ass marries after knowing someone 96 hours?
