Tanning bed

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Welcome back!

That is a strange name for something that you re not supposed to sleep on, or in.

To me a bed is something used for sleeping. I don’t even want to think about flower beds, because when I plant something, it just seems to die and not grow.

Anyway…if you are going to use a tanning bed, I guess that you better find the right kind of lotion to use. You do not want to use something that will let you burn, or let your skin be harmed. There is a web site called - www.tanningbedlotion.com - that seems to check out different types of lotions.

Not everyone will try to get a tan, but if you are one of those who do, using something to help keep your skin from getting damaged just seems the smart thing to do.

Computers, humph

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

I wonder…what do factories do when their computers go bonkers?

Industrial computers is what I mean. Are they specially set up so that they do not disconnect except for when they are ordered to? What type of programs do they have that keeps them from crashing? How are they any better than the ordinary type of computer that the rest of us use?

I guess that I have a lot of questions. Now if only I had the answers that I need.

Feel odd

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

How else can I say it?

I feel like the 5th wheel on a regular car. If I get a 5th wheel warranty that still won’t fix it.

My stupid computer keeps disconnecting me even in the middle of something. If I didn’t need it, I would be tempeted to use a sledge hammer to ‘fix’ it. I realize that that wouldn’t do anything but help me work out some of the anger I feel from frustration. I get tired of having to reconnect 3 to 4 times each time that i try to blog, or search for something.

I still feel like computers were designed by mad scientists to drive normal people crazy. (*&#@)(#!^&@)(&%&^%&*%^ I think that says it all.

Still looking

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

We are still looking for some shoes, or boots that my brother can wear.

I know that women’s rain boots would not be the answer. I just hate that he has to special order his footwear.

I, myself, because of my size, order large clothing. Let’s face it, I would not blow away in a gale because of my size. I would make a good anchor for someone skinny, or small in stature to hold onto.

My husband is 6 feet tall and orders some of his clothes from catalogs that specialize in that type of clothes. Most of the time if he gets his shirts from the store, the shirt does not cover his belly very well, and he cannot tuck the shirt into his pants. When we go into the store with my brother walking between us, it reminds me of a sandwich cookie that does not have enough filling. :/

Mr Brother

Monday, September 27th, 2010

My brother has a problem.

He is not a giant of a fellow like my husband. There are places that have clothes for big people, tall people, but nowhere do I find petite clothing. I wear a woman’s size eleven shoe, sometimes a ten will fit.

My brother wears a man’s size 7 shoe or boot. I have no idea where to look. So far he orders special from a nearby department store and pays a big price. He makes his shoes last a long time, but even then, sooner or later, he has to replace what he wears.

PS It wasn’t until I had published this article that I noticed I made the title wrong. sorrry

and waiting…

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Yes, we are still waiting to hear about the ‘move’.

Of course right now, I am glad that we are waiting since we have so much junk to go through and get rid of when I think about it that is. I hope that when they do the renovation on this apartment they put in new bathroom faucets and kitchen faucets. The one in the bathroom is so corroded that it is ugly.

It would be nice to actually have a deadline to work for, but not knowing makes it maddening.

Still waiting

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Remember how I mentioned the up coming move at our apartment complex.

We are still waiting. I have no idea when this will be accomplished. I wish that we could just take our belongings, move to our own home, and forget about it. I would be nice if we had the money to pay for someone else to pack our stuff, move it and then unpack for us, so we could forget about all of the hassle.

I say, you say

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Have you ever noticed how different people in different parts of the country have a very distinctive way of talking?

Each part of our country (USA) can almost have its own unique language. Now, if you put those circumstances into effect for other countries, it is no wonder that people do not always understand what someone is talking about when they compare notes.

When I was back in high school (no, I will not tell anyone how long ago that was), I used to take the city bus to get to and from where I needed to go. I heard two men talking and getting louder and louder. One was obviously from the Bronx, the other was a deep south Cajun. They were both speaking English, but could not understand one another. I ended up translating for both of them. My bus came and I wondered what had happened.

Speaking English is no guarantee that you will communicate with others without errors.

Put in your mind all the difficulties that come about when you add in the variances from other languages in addition to the variations that happen in English.

Now, do you wonder why there are wars? No worries mate. HUHN

Half a dozen of another

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

One thing that i do like is some of the old sayings that are always haging around.

Some sayings do not make sense unless you know where they came from. I have mentioned the soldiers salute before, the threshold, and other things.

How about easy come, easy go…well, I guess that the way that people use money speaks for itself with that one.

I know one - sweating like a pig. It sounds gross, but is very true. If you have ever seen the body of a pid that is roasting over a fire on a spit, the flames below with pop and sputter constantly as the fat drips out of the meat onto the flames.

Six of one…

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

Six of any one thing can be good, or bad.

If it’s donuts, guaranteed it could very well be bad. (For me that is because I do enjoy donuts) If it is six dollars, I could always use some more money. Six more pounds on me is definitely bad. I need something to help me lose weight. Maybe some natural weight loss pills might help. As long as exercise is not mentioned. I have gotten to dearly love tomatoes, and salads, but even they can only go so far.
