“Forever” Stamps.

I purchased a hundred “Forever” stamps from the post office.  I like the concept of the “Forever” stamp because I don’t have to worry about buying additional stamps if the price of postage goes up.  Unfortunately, right after I purchased the stamps, the price went down.  Oh well, such it life.

Potassium Levels.

The other day when I had my yearly physical, I told the doctor that I eat a banana every day to make sure that my potassium levels are normal.  He looked at my lab results and told me that my potassium levels look just fine and that I didn’t need to worry about them.  To which I replied that my potassium levels are normal because I eat a banana every day.

Heart Healthy

The other day in the grocery store I noticed two products from the same manufacturer.  One was listed as Heart Healthy and the other was not.  So I compared the nutritional info on the boxes and discovered that the Heart Healthy one had a half of gram less fat than the regular product.  Well, I guess a half of gram of fat makes all of the difference.

Eye Glass Cleaner.

For many years, I have cleaned my glasses with soap and water.  But the other day, I decided that it was time to purchase some bottled cleaner for my glasses.  So when I got home from the store, I got out my cleaner and the special cleaning rag and began to clean my glasses.  When I finished, I held them up to the light to check them and discovered that they were still dirty.  So, I went through the process again.  And again, the results were the same.  After several tries, I gave up and used my good old soap and water and it worked just fine.  So much for the store bought stuff.

Little Women.

Little Women is a classic novel, but I think that it is also a psychological condition.  Similar to “small man syndrome”, Little Women syndrome seems to manifest itself in short women.  And with this syndrome comes a nasty and aggressive attitude and the need to be in control.  And while not every short woman has this syndrome, I have encounter many who do.

Skycam To Nowhere.

Over the years, the local TV station has installed a number of “Skycams” in various locations.  “Skycams” are remote TV cameras usually installed in high locations  that render an aerial view of the city.  And while most of these cameras provide a scenic view, their latest installation was at the fair grounds.  And when the fair is in progress, I am sure that it will be interesting.  But until then, all that you see is a building and an empty field.
