Welcome back!

Yes, the phrase that you see is exactly what I meant to type.

There is a commercial on TV for the Verizon network. It shows a family and kid with a pinata and one child trying to whack it. The father (I guess) is talking to the people of the network. After talking to them, he takes the stick from the blind-folded child and whacks the pinata which of course causes candy to fall out. Of course the amount of candy falling out is way more than what that pinata can hold.

While the stuff is falling out, he turns, points, and says “Don’t eat that Marsha!” However the man is talking so fast that it sound totally as if he is saying - Don’t eat Aunt Marsha. Every time that I hear that commercial, now, I burst out laughing.

Of course if the man had properly enunciated what he was saying, I wouldn’t remember the commercial and wouldn’t laugh now.

Have you ever wondered where people get all of the things that they write about?

I used to until I got involved with blogging. Everyday things go on in people’s lives and that is what they write about. Sometimes it can be interesting, sometimes it can be boring.

I guess what makes the difference is what each person makes of what they read. Intelligent thought carefully placed down by keyboard, pen, pencil, maker, or even crayon can be entertaining, or even thought provoking. Evn idle thoughts can be entertaining to people. It is all in how you read it. Right now, I am just letting mymind free think as I type in what is going through it. Is it interesting? I don’t know, after all they are my thoughts aren’t they?

Yes, this opinionated fat broad (my description) is back on the internet.

Not being able to count on the phone, not being able to get rid of junk e-mail are both extreme hassles. I have finally gotten through all of the e-mail that built up over the past few days. YUK to the extreme.

Yes, I am still getting junk e-mails.

If I knew who had given out my e-mail address for all of the stuff that has been coming in, he would need to get a new insurance quote from his medical insurance.

I would dearly enjoy strapping him into a seat and forcing him to go through all of the junk e-mail that he send out to other people. Of course I guess that would be worse than water boarding. I might effect his eyesight. *snicker*

Am I being mean? I don’t think so.

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?

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?

That might not seem very news-worthy. Our area has been having trouble with a lack of rain.

When I got up today and saw the wet sidewalks, I felt joy and happiness. It wasn’t much rain, but every little bit does help.

I heard on the news about people who had been hit with bad storms and tornadoes. I am thankful that those bad storms by-passed us. I just wish that people had not been hurt by them. Those victims need food, medicine, clothes, and shelter. In one town alone, over 300 homes were blasted off the face of the earth. Mena, Arkansas was one of those places that hit so hard. Arkansas is a state that does not have a lot of resources itself. Those people need help.

Well, the truck that plowe3d into the hotel building is finally gone.

The crew having to do the work of the removal had to re-enforce the inside of the building and eventually cut the semi into pieces to remove it. I guess that is one truck that will not hit the highway anymore, at least until it is melted down and remade.

Still do not know the exact reason for the crash. The police have said that the driver either fell asleep, or was medically unconscious. How someone could be asleep and go through 2 ditches, a pond retaining wall and ramp, I do not know.

More later, if it is given to the public.

I live in Central Texas. An 18 wheeler crashed off of the interstate, across two ditches, across a pond, and a retaining wall. The truck ended up being launched into the air and then crashed into a hotel.

In a nearby Roomstore Outlet in Temple, Texas, the manager asked all of the employees and the residents of the hotel (after evacuation) to come into the store itself in order to stay warm. She did not have to do such a thing, but she did it any way and gave shaken people a chance to be sheltered, comfortable, and warm while the accident officials were examining the scene and the wreck.

This story is on our TV channel TV 10.1. I believe that the Roomstore manager handled this emergency with great elegance and should be commended for her mercy and thoughtfulness. this presents a show of great quality on the part of the manager.

I would not be ashamed to shop there when I need new furniture.

We have a tv stand that is more than just a place for the TV.

It is piled, and I mean PILED with all sorts of things. Videos, boxes, magazines, and all sorts of other stuff are now located on the stand. One big box is filled with sewing thread, Another big box is filled with videos. On the bottom of the stand is a hodge-podge of various things. We happen to be pilers in this apartment. If a spot is bare, it will get something piled on it.

We do not have any obvious organization to these things, they are there. Any decorating for the holidays is only done out side on the front porch. I mentioned its decoration earlier.

Anyway, our entertainment center does more for storage, than just entertaining. The tv is visible, the VCR, and DVD players are available. However, no bare spot is available for use. If I thought that i could get away with it, I would put up Christmas decorations in the house, too. Our cats of course would appreciate something else to play with. They even get onto the bottom shelf of the stand, or entertainment center and find a place to hide.
