Dinosaurs Had Feathers?

Dinosaurs had feathers??  Well, that is the latest from our esteemed scientists.

I am not impressed with scientists regarding these ideas.  While I can understand their general idea of  what these creatures may have looked like, I think that they make many false assumption about their skin and coloring.

But hey, if you are a “scientist”, you must be right……..

I Hate My Cell Phone!

My flip style cell phone drives me crazy!  First, for unknown reasons and  unannounced to me, my cell phone will switch to the silent mode.  I usually don’t discover that this has happened until I put it on the charger.  That is when I notice the silent mode icon on the screen.

Now, since this happens when my phone is closed and in my pocket,  it must happen with the buttons on the outside of the phone.  But, I have tried every combination of buttons and I can not replicate the event.

Nor can I push the outside buttons and put it back into the ringing mode.  I have to open up the phone in order to set the ringing.

Also, for unknown reasons, it will shout “Please say a command.” while it is closed and in my pocket.  Sometimes, if I am lucky and it is quiet, I can yell “Exit.” and the phone will shut up.  But, most of the time, I have to take the phone out of my pocket, open it up and press the cancel button on the inside.

In another year, I can get a new phone.  But of course, I will probably get a new set of problems.

Technology…don’t you just love it?

Halloween at Meijer.

The other day when I was at Meijer (regional grocery chain) I noticed the Halloween costumes that were for sale.  They had Frankensteins, Wolfmen, Draculas, Screams, Freddies, Darth Vaders, skeletons, witches and nuns.

Nuns?!  Wow, talk about a scary selections of costumes.

1 gpf.

In an effort to restrict water usage, the US has mandated 1 gallon per flush toilets.  And, while  I understand their reasoning, I disagree as to its’  usefulness.

For example, the other day at church, I needed to use one of the 1 gps toilets.  But, I needed to flush 5 times!!  And since each volley never seemed to complete the task, I couldn’t help but wonder if a good old 3 gps would solve the problem.

I have to install another toilet in my house.  Maybe l can buy a 3 gps in Canada and smuggle it across the border.  Eh!
