Dreams are weird

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Welcome back!

Yes, I have mentioned dreams before, haven’t I?

Well, anyway, I believe that dreams are weird. Most of the time they do not make any sense in any way shape or form. I recently had one of those types of dreams that involved sinkholes.

Driving down the road going some place. I do not remember where, just some place. There was a sink hole ahead so we had to turn off. Did I tell you that the vehicle was driving itself? No, well, I did say that dreams are weird, though. The inside of the vehicle looked like a living room. I took over the wheel and pulled into a parking lot to avoid the sink hole that appeared across the road. The parking lot of course shortly had sink holes, too.

Went into a nearby house. By this time the vehicle looked like a mini-van, go figure. In the house were people that were planning how to avoid all of the sink holes in the town. No idea why any one was there. As people talked, sink holes appeared around the house. Next thing we knew, the house itself dropped (like an elevator) into a sink hole about one story deep. Used a staircase to escape the house just in time to see our vehicle tip-toe itself out of another sink hole. It looked like a cartoon van this time. I woke up just in time to go HUNH!

Tell me, are dreams weird or not? :)

I have Grass

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

No, I did not say that I have gas, I have grass. It is not marijuana either. It is ordinary grass that might be found on a lawn, golf course, pasture, whatever.

Why do I have grass? Good question, even if I made it up myself. We have 2 cats. Cats like to clean themselves and sometimes get hairballs. Grass or some hairball remedies help the animals to eliminate the hairballs so no harm can be caused.

I have, in the past, grown some grass in little containers in the house. Handy, but the grass only lasts a little while. What I do when the grass is growing outside is simply go out and pick some for the cats. I have tried hairball medicine and have gotten tired of being clawed because the furry person being fed the hairball medicine does NOT like the taste. At least the grass can be sprinkled on top of the food, it gets eaten, and the hairball gets eliminated. In the past we have had cats who liked the taste of the hairball medicine, but the ones we have now - NO WAY. So, to avoid claws, pain, scars and all that sort of stuff, I pick grass. It works, there is no pain involved thankfully. All I have to do is get to it before the mowers come by. :)

I am an adult, really

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I look in the mirror and think, “I am an adult, really.” However, I still see a zit staring back at me.

I thought that type of thing would stop when my teenage years were gone. NOPE. it hasn’t. It makes me think of all that people go through for acne treatment, and for a while I was thankful that i didn’t have that problem.

Now, I have a zit, again. It ain’t fair. I know that it is life, but it ain’t fair. My van looks like it has had trouble with zits. A little sanding and a paint job would take care of that for the van. People can’t be treated the same way, though. A zit. I have a zit.

Hey Advertisers

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Yes, it is time for me to gripe about advertising again.

I have a few favorite shows that I like to watch. It get me that I am watching the show, get into the mood of the show, the next thing that I hear and see involves LOUD noise, nonsense, and irritation.

That is not the way to sell items, ideas, opinions, whatever. The television networks used to say that the commercials were not at a different volume level. How wrong they still are. When you have to turn down the volume suddenly during a show, and when the show comes back on, turn the volume up again.

The sudden change in volume really kills the mood of the show. I do not like advertisers who do that, and it makes me decide NOT, I repeat, NOT,to buy their product. Isn’t that self defeating in the purpose of the commercial?

No Food?

Friday, April 24th, 2009

i just read a blog that makes me angry.

A principal at a high school is playing God with some student’s lives. The school get money for a lunch programs for needy students. The principal decided for her own reasons to deny them the lunch that was already paid for by tax payers.

At least one parent protested this thievery by the principal. My Single Mom Life is the name of the blog that contains the article. Her son is now getting the food that was already paid for by the tax payers. I wonder about the other students that were stolen from. It is upsetting.

This is not what I call education.

Green Shopping

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

There are so many ways that ‘Green’ can be mentioned.

Green shopping is another way to bring up ‘Green’. I do buy those new lights that are in reality miniature florescent light bulbs. I use paper and do recycle plastic.

Some products that mention green are good, others are only expensive. I have used green products at times. Most of the time, however, I use what I can afford. When the ‘Green’ items are not as expensive, more people will buy them. The idea that something does not contain bad chemicals is good for people and for our world. I must admit though, that survival is the most important.

I Hate Flats

Monday, April 20th, 2009

When I talk about flats, I do not mean flats of strawberries, shoes, or apartments.

I am talking about flat tires. ARGH ! We just finally got our vehicle working again, drove it to the store and home. We went to visit mom for a while, and then after a few hours we went home.

We didn’t make it all the way home, though. As we turned one of the last three corners, I heard a funny sound. Realized it was the sound of nasty and checked it out, YUP FLAT.

I have heard the old joke that it is only flat on one side. I hate flats. ‘Nuff said.

Special Places

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

When was the last time that you went to a special place? I mean one where it is different from the ‘usual’ types of places to stay.

It would be nice to find unique hotels to stay at for vacations. If your neighbors get to be a pain in the tucus, and you do not want to move, it would be nice to have a fun place to get away from the humdrum of everyday life. Of course with us, we have good neighbors. Our home (apt) is comfy (a mess), and it has everything that we like to do hobbies with and of course books and videos - the list goes on.

Let’s face it, there are worse things in life than being comfortable at home. At least we do have hobbies, videos, books, yada, yada, yada.

Who Is Your Neighbor?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Do you live in a place where your neighbor is wonderful and friendly?

What do you do if your neighbor is someone that you do not want to talk to? I’ve been there before. Of course you could always move. The commercial that I wrote abut previously would make me want to check out aluminum fence installation. Of course when the woman does not have all of the cold cream on her face, she might be nice. Who knows.

I have lived in a bunch of different places and had all sorts of neighbors. Sometimes it is not easy to move from one place to another. Where we live now is nice and our neighbors are the type that happen to be fun to talk to.

So, who is your neighbor? The woman with the cold cream might not be so bad after all. :)

Lady, you are scaring the neighbors

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I recently saw a commercial that had me saying that phrase above.

The woman was trying to get her husband to do something, or stop doing something. She had all of her face covered with pasty white something or another. Probably cold cream - YUK.

The way that I figure it, she should wash her face and then try to talk to her husband if she wants him to actually listen to her. I have no idea where the ad agencies get their ideas. Some are funny as all get out, others are nothing but irritating - at least to me they are. I am not happy when they treat the customers are if they are morons, or should be morons in order to buy their products. I cannot be alone with my opinions, can I?
