One of the most annoying things that I experience on a very frequent basis is the absence of any kind of address sign on may of the business buildings along the Main Street in our town. If I hadn’t grown up here, I swear I would never be able to find anything based on just being given an address! The vast majority of the buildings along the road need some kind of address plaque.
That is one of the things that I think makes a town more “user-friendly” to tourists and out-of-towners. What good is a GPS unit if it tells you that you’ve reached your destination and you look around for address signs and can’t find one anywhere?
I think that it should be part of the town code in downtown that easily seen address plaques are a REQUIREMENT. And by easily seen, I mean easily seen from a vehicle from the road, not something tucked up under an eave that can only be seen by pedestrians!
You don’t hear much about this extra-ordinary talent anymore. I can’t think of any song I’ve ever heard her sing that didn’t just wow me with her talent. I was looking for a video of one of her songs, and found this sad, sad love song. I never did see the movie that is portrayed in this video. I think maybe if I ever want to watch a tear-jerker, this would probably be a good one to watch! Listen, watch, and reflect.
One of the ways people can save money is by switching their pay television vendors. I’ve been looking at different DIRECT TV Offers through a website called mytvoptions.com and see that there are a good number of ways that we can cut back on the expense of watching television. And the DIRECT TV Specials even include local channels! I had resisted going with satellite television for many years because I thought that we couldn’t get local channels with them.
But now I see that the DIRECTV Specials do include them, and their website says that they have an offer that lasts a year where I can get 150 channels for only $29.99 a month! I think that is a great price, don’t you? The only thing that concerns me is that their offers seem to limit your television usage to only up to four rooms, and we have televisions in seven rooms! I guess I’ll have to call them and see if they can even accommodate that many rooms, and if there are extra charges for that.
I saw on the news a little bit of this sketch from the “returning” Jay Leno to the Tonight Show. They didn’t show the whole clip, but I wanted to see it all. So, off to the Internet to find it! Well, it took me a while to find it on the Internet to be able to share this, but here it is! What a riot! I hope you enjoy it!
Doing the Dallas “Pam wakes up and finds Bobby in the shower – it was all a dream” sketch would have been great too! I can see it now – Oprah Winfrey waking up and finding Jay in the shower, or on TV back in his regular spot.
One of our nieces had a baby right before Christmas. A beautiful, healthy baby girl. It’s hard to realize that she’s two months old already! Before you know it we are going to have to worry about baby proofing our house for the many visits we will be getting from them. It just seems like a few days ago that we put away our old baby gates! Funny how life sneaks up on you that way. All of our kids are grown up now, and some are having kids of their own. I’m not sure I’m ready for a newest generation! I don’t feel old enough to be worrying about the newest child safety tips - I was just starting to get used to (and enjoying) knowing that the kids were past that point in life!
Ahh… the circle of life. I think maybe we should just suggest that we go visit them at their house instead, so we don’t have to go all nuts and fortify our house with all the newest safety equipment! Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see them, but if we go to them, then they are the ones who have to make sure the baby is safe. And, we can decide when the visit is over and leave to come home when the baby is cranky! I think I’ll suggest that to my wife!
