It’s amazing what pops up

I love to just browse around YouTube. I don’t even remember how this video ended up on my screen, but I just found this amazing guy and wanted to share this with you – enjoy!

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!

They are getting cheaper

One of my favorite inventions for the computer is the thumb sized flash drive. I can remember when I bought my very first one, it cost about $25, and only had abou 128MB of storage space on it! I thought it was wonderful! (Actually I still think it is wonderful!) In more recent years, I found I could buy an 8GB one for less than what I had paid for my first 128MB one! I’m glad they are getting cheaper!

Baby was offered for sale on E-Bay

Jerry — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:22:55 +0000

The news that grabbed my attention this week was the story about a German couple who placed an ad on E-Bay, offering their baby for sale! The couple now claims it was a “joke” but the baby has been placed in protective custody. The ad was only on “the air” for two hours before Ebay removed the ad, and no offers had been placed during those two hours. When Ebay removed the ad they assisted the police track down the couple. The ad claimed that the baby was being sold because it was “too loud.”

I have to say that this is another case where I think these people are NUTS! I’m glad that the baby was placed in protective custody and I hope the parents never get it back! And I hope that the parents are locked up for a very long time. This is a case when I think that the courts out to have the right to force sterilization on people, because in my own opinion people like this should never be allowed to have children again!

Heading to the A Maze’n’ Farmyard This Summer

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.

Strange reaction

Jerry — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:25:03 +0000

My wife has tried a lot of different types of vitamins in the past few years. She’s especially been interested in the “B” vitamins because she has heard that when someone has a lot of stress in their life that their body uses up a lot of the stored “B” vitamins. The problem that she has had, however, is that many of the ones that she has tried make her nauseous. We really don’t know how to deal with that issue!

Truth please

Jerry — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:18:18 +0000

I’ve been reading, and watching articles about the lions mane jellyfish that was responsible for stinging a lot of people in New Hampshire this past week. There are so many conflicting reports about that simple incident that it makes me wonder what is the truth of it all. Some reports say that the jellyfish was angry and stinging people. Others say that most of the people were stung after it was ashore and already dead. If it’s already dead, how angry can it be? Some reports say it washed ashore, others say that the life guards brought it ashore.

If our reporters can’t report the actual truth about something this mundane, how can we expect the truth about really important political issues?

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!

Another “Bad Girls Club”

You could call me a connoisseur of reality TV. That might be an insult to a lot of scripted TV purists out there, but I embrace reality TV for what it truly is: trashy, disposable entertainment. True, there are the shows out there that are high quality like American Idol but I prefer the ones where a bunch of dramatic people live in a house together with no goals except partying and fighting.

The new season in Miami is less than a month away and I’m already all over the show’s official message boards. I used my wildblue satellite internet service to live chat during last season and it made the show and drama even that much better.

I’ve been following the show ever since the first season and when I heard rumors about cast mates live chatting with viewers I searched for internet providers MN because my dial-up probably wouldn’t work for that. It didn’t’ really work for anything else I wanted to do online unless I had a day to send an e-mail.

I’m not sure if this season’s cast can live up to the last season’s, which was definitely the most dramatic to date.
