Commercial Disclaimers

Gail — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 03:33:13 +0000

Has anyone else noticed all the disclaimers on the commercials these days? There are lots of pharmaceutical commercials saying that the doctor was paid for appearing or that the people giving testimonials are not actors. I remember during a recent election the actors in the campaign commercials were so believable that some people voted for or against the candidates for believing the crap the actors were paid to say. My God, we are so gullible.

This weekend is a nice long one. I wish there were more 3 day weekends. How about we have at least one three day weekend every month of the year? Oh wait – we do. Except for August. Let’s find an excuse for a three day weekend in August. How about Elvis day?

Happy Birthday, America

I love fireworks and parades. This is one of my favorite holidays – it’s all about celebrating and having fun. We’re going to buy some fireworks at the local stand and annoy the neighbors tonight!

Kenny’s Greatest Number 2

When I found the new Kenny Chesney album at the store I just had to buy it. I’m on a tight budget these days, but I think that a little sacrifice is well worth having Kenny’s greatest hits, Vol 2.

I love his songs and this album has a lot of great songs on it. I keep it in the car and play it on my way to work and on errands around town.

All the Stars Are Here

This week is a big deal for country music fans. We have the CMA Festival every year in June. It used to be called Fan Fair, but some corporate schmucks decided to add non-country acts to it and try to grab more money from the event. So they basically killed Fan Fair. But to some of us traditionalists, it is still Fan Fair in spite of the music business executives.

Nothing But Repeats

The regular TV season is over now. I’m so bummed out. There’s nothing but repeats on for the rest of summer. The new shows won’t come back until the end of September. Arrrgh. It’s going to be so BORING!

Arriba!

As a kid I loved the Road Runner cartoons and the Speedy Gonzales cartoons. They were on Channel 5 every Saturday morning, as part of the Captain Tug show. If my parents had been out late the night before, then us kids got to watch cartoons all morning and feast on cold cereal that we poured into bowls and spooned into our mouths while laughing at Wiley E Coyote or sometimes Tom and Jerry. I miss those Saturday morning cartoons.

Happy Happy New Year!

Gosh, this New Year’s Eve came up on us quickly! It seems like just a few months ago I was making a big resolution to lose 20 pounds this year and now I have another New Year’s resolution to come up with! So this year, I think I will try to spend more time outside enjoying the parks and lake near my house. I need to get more exercise and more fresh air, so I think I’ll buy a nice bicycle and start riding it around the neighborhood for an hour or so 3 or 4 times a week.

Happy New Year!
