During Christmas dinner we all got to know my kid sister’s fiance Jack a bit better. They have been engaged for 6 months now and we really haven’t gotten a chance to meet with them since then. They are not planning on getting married any time soon, not in any hurry, which is a good thing.
Jack is an enrolled agent cpe and has been for almost 5 years, he comes from a well established family from Massachusetts, which makes him a Yankee, but we are trying not to hold that against him LOL! He is now concentrating on his required enrolled agent continuing education, which can be done right online these days, so that he can continue working in that position and save enough money for the big wedding that my sis has always dreamed of and I’m sure that will cost us all a good chunk of change in the long run.
They make a cute couple, it was a nice relaxed Christmas this year. Now on with the New Year’s festivities.
Recently my wife got interested in magnetic therapy. She has arthritis in her wrists, and she’s met a few people who suggested that she try magnetic therapy as a method of treating her arthritis. Well, she decided that she had basically nothing to lose, and found some pretty magnetic bracelets on the Internet. One of the bracelets looks like it is studded with diamonds and sapphires. It really is very pretty.
She has bought probably around ten magnetic bracelets, and two necklaces so far. She has been layering them on, and I’m wondering if it is possible for her to be wearing too many magnets. What do you think?
I’ve been thinking that a nice Christmas gift for the wife would be a get-a-way at one of the nicer Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts come summer. We are expecting a nice tax refund check this up and coming spring, and I can’t think of a better way to spend it than the two of us spending a long weekend at Myrtle Beach, soaking up the sun on the beach and on the golf course. Many of the Myrtle Beach Resorts offer golf packages that seem right nice and affordable.
We haven’t gotten away, just the two of us in so long. I think it would be a good thing for us both. I’m banking on using the Internet and Googling “Beach Resorts Myrtle Beach” and seeing what I can come up with on such short notice. With such horrible weather conditions outside today it seems that it would be a good way to spend the day looking around online.
We will see what I can come up with, maybe print off some of the information that I find and put it in an envelope and put it under the tree for her on Christmas morning. That should be a smile on her face and when she is happy, I’m happy as well!
Over the past couple of months I’ve noticed more and more people on Facebook posting comments that appear to be political rabble-rousing. When I was younger I really never realized just how dirty and nasty people would get over politics! What astonishes me about this on Facebook is the fact that these people are supposedly “friends” with each other but they are slinging lies around like crazy. It makes me wonder if these people are just trying to upset other people because they think it is fun to upset other people, or if they really believe the lies that they are repeating. Are these folks really that ignorant? It scares me to think that these people might actually vote!
Dean shared this video on facebook this morning and I took the time to watch it. At first I thought it was going to be a joke of some kind (knowing my friend) but the video was really a very good and thought-provoking short film. It is a ten minute film; I encourage everyone to watch it!
