Just spent a bit of time reading about door-to-door magazine salespeople. The lie told, the risks taken, and the customers unaware are all mentioned.

What you don’t know about door-to-door magazine sales is quite an article. It has been some time since this was started. Door-to-door sales people have been going around the country for decades. There used to be horror stories about the farmer’s daughter and the salesman. Those horror stories have gotten worse. Murder, rape, robbery are all now things that have happened. If a sales person – Make that when a salesperson comes to your door, think twice before opening the door and letting this person into your house. If picking up a hitch-hiker is dangerous, that person at the door……they could be either a young person trying to make a living, or even your worst nightmare. Wither way, BE CAREFUL.

Sometimes I think that I’m getting old. Other times, I know I am.

Try going from one room to another to get something, but when you get there you can’t remember what it was that you were going to do. Well, I remember that I was going to get something, but I don’t remember what it was that I was going to get. Humph…disgusting.
it is exercise, but it is also very frustrating.

I remember one time that I was looking for my eyeglasses. I can read without them, but if I want to see something across the room in any detail I better have my glasses on. I looked and looked, but couldn’t find them any where. Finally I got so frustrated that i asked my husband if he knew where I had left them. He paused, then he pointed at me starting at my feet. His hand slowly moved up and when he was done, he was pointing at the top of my head. He grinned and then broke out laughing.

Humph…disgusting. he teased me about that incident for a while. At least he teaed me about it until he lost his glasses, too. He almost sat on his. :}

Is it safe to drive? Well, sometimes I wonder. You hear about road rage, accidents, drunk drivers, drivers who are distracted.

I wonder when driving and doing everything else but driving became all the rage? I was always taught that you should only concentrate on driving when you were behind the wheel. I never even went through driving classes, just a friend that was very (and I mean VERY ) patient. When I first started to drive, the traffic wasn’t all that bad. Of course I learned in a small town where there weren’t any traffic jams. You still had to have car insurance of course. Since then I do not like to drive uninsured for any reason. I have been blessed with no accidents (thank God for that). The town was in a part of the country where we had definite winters with ice and snow on the road. We lived pretty close to a shopping mall that had large parking lots. When there was ice on the road, I used to go to the lot and practice skidding. Who am I kidding, it was fun to let the car slide in circles where there was no chance of being hit. Almost like being on ice skates, except I was already sitting down.

Where we live now, there is too much traffic and not enough ice or snow to go and do that ‘practice’ anymore. Now, too many times I see people in cars that are busy doing everything else except for driving. Putting on makeup, looking at maps, talking on the phone, talking to the other person in the car with them (with their face turned TO the passenger) – why is anyone surprised when they get in an accident? Is it safe to drive……pray first and ask God to keep you safe, THEN maybe it is safe. Of course I didn’t say anything about how you drive did I?
