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.

Jelly Beans

The stores are full of Easter candy, even though Easter is 2 weeks away. My favorite Easter candy has always been the jelly beans. You might be able to buy jelly beans throughout the year, but it never seems appropriate to buy them except at Easter. Weird, I know.

Green Beer

Tonight we are getting together after work for green beer and Irish music!

Protect Yourself

Tennessee ranks 11th in the nation in reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The state has 60 cases per 1,000 people, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control.

If you can do statistics, that means 6 out of every 100 people in Tennessee have some type of STD. But beyond numbers, that means that at least 6 percent of the people who live here are continuing to have unprotected sex. Condoms are about more than just birth control. They protect you from STDS. Get your head out of the sand and protect yourself!

Bananas

For months I won’t even look at bananas in the grocery store. I just don’t have a habit of eating bananas. But every once in while I get a craving for them. I don’t know why. Maybe my body is missing some of the vitamins and minerals that come in a banana. Like today, I bought a bunch of 3 ripe, medium sized bananas and couldn’t even wait to get home to bite into one. Tomorrow I will cut up one and put in on top of my Rice Krispies. I don’t have immediate plans for the last one yet. Any ideas?

Merry Christmas Family and Friends!

Here’s hoping that Santa find your house tonight and is very, very good to you!

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is called “Black Friday” by retailers. This is the biggest day for Christmas shoppers and lots of big bargains as retailers do everything they can think of to get you to come into their stores and spend your money there. Some people get up early and leave the house as early as 3:30 am to get the best bargains at the big stores. That is crazy! I’m staying home!

Good Cooking

Gail — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:30:41 +0000

With the bad economy, we hardly ever eat out at restaurants anymore. We just can’t afford it like we used to.

The up side is that I am becoming a pretty good cook. At least I think so. And no one has refused to eat the dinners.

Brothers

What is it about brothers? They love each other yet they are always competing. Or even fighting. They seem to always have something to prove.

I don’t see this same behavior in sisters. Do you think it is the testosterone?
