Obsession

Jerry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:17:34 +0000

My sister Jean sent me a link to a page of apidexin reviews tonight. She told me that she was thinking about trying apidexin. She is always trying to lose weight! I keep telling her that she doesn’t need to lose an ounce, she is drop dead gorgeous already! What is it about women that they are always trying to lose weight? Sure, she’s not the same size that she was back in high school, but I don’t know any healthy people at the age of 50 that ARE the same size as they were in high school! I wish that women would learn to love themselves and stop spending so much time (and money) obsessing about their appearances!

Controversy over bikes

Jerry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:09:55 +0000

I’m a member of a community Yahoo group, and this past week there has been a lot of controversy over the many bicyclists that ride their bikes on back country roads. There has been a lot of heated discussion going on. Many of the people feel that bicycles shouldn’t be allowed on the roads at all! I think that just goes to show you how intolerant we are becoming as a society. People were riding bicycles on roads before cars were invented, and they have just as much right to be on the roads as cars do! I don’t ride a bicycle, but I don’t bedgrudge anyone who chooses to ride one.

There is no miracle cure

I’m always leery when I hear or see a new commercial about some kind of new diet pill that is supposed to work wonders. I always wonder what the side effects are going to be and if they are really worth it. I can remember when my brother’s ex-wife started dieting and was taking diet pills. She became extremely agitated and irritable. Sure, she lost weight, but she was hard to put up with! Sometimes I think that is what broke them up!

Company is coming

Jerry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:01:50 +0000

My wife is so excited! She just found out that her older sister Carol is coming to visit us this weekend. She hasn’t seen Carol in five years! So she is going to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off for the next few days getting the house picked up and cleaned. She will be spending one night here in my wife’s studio. I was just realizing that I’ve never even met Carol before! It will be interesting!

New job, new benefits

Jerry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:57:12 +0000

Our son J has started a new job and was telling us about the benefits of his new job. He called last night to ask us for our social security numbers because he was listing us as beneficiaries on the new life insurance policy he was buying. He said that one of the benefits of his new job was great term life insurance rates so he was going to take advantage of that. We are really pleased that he thought of us that way!

New windshield wipers

Jerry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:54:19 +0000

My wife had accepted a mystery shopping assignment to do a mystery shop at our local Jiffy Lube last weekend. She had her misgivings about doing it; the last time she had her oil changed there they had tried to convince her to buy a new battery and she didn’t need one. But she accepted the assignment because they DID pay for the entire oil change (which after all is around $40!) They advised her that she needed new windshield wipers, so I went ahead and replaced them yesterday for her. The wipers we bought were the Rain-X brand. Today my wife was driving the car in the rain and she tells me that for the very first time ever she was actually able to see through the windshield during the rain without a lot of streaking!

Itchy and dry

Jerry — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:49:26 +0000

Our son J came home from college and asked us to make an appointment for him with his PCP. He’d been plagued by itchy and dry skin all winter on the palms of his hands and even the Gold Bond Ultimate moisturizing cream we gave him didn’t seem to help. So we set him up with an appointment and when he came home he told us that the doctor said he has eczema. She gave him a prescription for some kind of cream. I hope it works for him!

Heading to the A Maze’n’ Farmyard This Summer

Jerry — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 05:20:06 +0000

The Author of this post is Darius Boone

Every summer I like to take my family to the A Maze’n Farmyard in Eden Valley, Minnesota. It is a day trip that we all look forward to each summer. I pile everyone into the car, pack some snacks, and start our trip. Before I leave I make sure I set my security choice alarm system in my house. Our destination is only an hour’s drive from our house. Everyone enjoys the day, from my youngest toddler to my teenager.

When we get to the A Maze’n Farmyard, the highlight is the barn where the smaller animals are kept. The children can enter the pens to pet the animals. They have a variety of animals, from kittens and puppies to goats and pigs. After we pry the children away from the petting area, we head out to the maze to see how well we can find our way through the maze. The gigantic slide is also a big attraction. Occasionally we will play a game of mini-golf after we visit the animals.

After the children are tired of petting the animals and going down the slide, we usually get a small snack in the gift shop. They have a variety of snack foods so everyone can choose their favorite. At the end of the day, we pile back into the car and head home while the children tell us their favorite animals they saw at the A Maze’n Farmyard.

Luxury condo

Jerry — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 01:48:50 +0000

My wife and I are so proud of our son J. He’s just graduated college and went straight into a really nice job, with only taking a two week break to find a place to live near work. He’s ended up sharing a luxury condo with a middle aged man who only lives there during the week. One of the things that impressed me about the place is the work-out room in the building that has a lot of different fitness equipment in it. It feels like a five star hotel!

Yet Another Anniversary Coming Up

Jerry — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:05:25 +0000

The wife and I are going to be celebrating yet another wedding anniversary come the end of August. Man these years are just passing away like crazy, time flies when you are having fun! It is always a challenge trying to find the perfect gift for my wife each year. I mean first there is her birthday, then there is Christmas and then along comes the anniversary, not to mention Valentine’s Day!

I believe that this year I will be looking online to find her favorite Cologne. Good thing she still has a little left in the bottle on her dresser for me to get the name off of the darn thing. I can never remember what it is called, even after 30 years of being with the woman! The Internet will make finding one of her favorite Fragrances a much easier task to take on. It was a real pain in the rear in the years before the Internet when I used to have to bounce around from store to store in order to find it each time. A man like me just doesn’t feel comfortable in the Perfume department, ya know what I’m saying?

Anyway I do believe that a nice dinner and a nice gift will make it an evening to remember, at least until the next one rolls around in only 12 months.

North Carolina

Jerry — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 03:19:27 +0000

Seems as if a lot of our friends and relatives have been moving down to North Carolina over the past few years. They seem to think that Wilmington NC real estate is a good investment, and they are enjoying the milder winters and the “genteel” lifestyle that “The South” has to offer.

One of my cousins has been studying up to get her realtors license because she thinks that she can actually make a living selling Wilmington NC real estate. Right now I would have a really hard time believing that anyone can make a living as a realtor!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever been to North Carolina other than to simply drive through on my way to Florida! I can’t really say that it looked much different than Virginia to me, but who am I to say?

No zits

Jerry — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:20:34 +0000

I think it is amazing how much money people spend on trying to buy the absolute best acne treatment! I can remember how many different products that my kids used when they were going through their teenage years. I can’t say that any one over-the-counter acne product worked any better than another. Even going to the doctor and being put on antibiotics wasn’t any help at all! And the research goes back and forth on whether diet has an effect on acne. I’m glad I’m not a teenager anymore!

Bad customer service

Jerry — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:16:32 +0000

Last night my wife decided to bring pizza home for dinner on her way home from work. She called the Pizza Hut that she drives past twenty minutes before she left work. She ordered her pizza (only one, mind you) and was told it would be ready in twenty minutes. She got there thirty minutes later, and paid the $11 tab. After she paid the tab, she was told that they were short handed that night and running “a little behind.” She waited over a half hour before her pizza was ready. If she had known that they had not even started her pizza before she showed up she would have cancelled the order and gone to McDonald’s! Not impressed at all! Next time she wants pizza, she’ll be asking if the pizza is ready before she pays for it!

Diet pills are stimulants

Jerry — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:07:24 +0000

My sister tells me that she has started taking a new diet pill called Lipovox. She claims that she has lost several pounds and has a lot more energy! Well, I was reading about that product and saw that it contains quite a bit of caffeine in it. That would make sense about the extra energy and loss of weight. Caffeine is a stimulant, and stimulants are proven to reduce appetite and give energy.

Smokin’

Jerry — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:16:56 +0000

My uncle Jeff is finally retiring from his job at the bank next month. Aunt Margie is planning a big retirement party for him. I know how much he loves cao cigars, so I’m planning on ordering him a few from a website that I found that sells them. And I think that I’ll give him a gift card from the website so he can buy more down the road, too. After all of the aggravation that he’s been through working for that bank, he deserves a good cigar!
