In the event of severe weather at work, we are told to move to the severe weather shelter in the underground parking ramp. The entire area is designated as the “severe” weather shelter but I suppose it could also be used as a pleasant weather shelter.
I recently dated a woman who lost her husband 11 years ago at a fairly young age and she was just starting to date.
Now, it is not uncommon for women to wait until their children are out of the house before they start dating again. So, I asked her about her children. When she said that she didn’t have any, I was surprised.
So, she has spent that last 11 years living alone. It made me wonder what her marriage was like.
In the light of the recent movie theater massacre by a crazed gun man, many people are wondering why no one stood up against the shooter? Well, that is simple. Liberals have made it illegal for anyone to carry a gun into a movie theater.
That’s right, law abiding citizens, who have met all of the back ground gun checks, are prohibited from carrying a gun into a movie theater, a school or a college campus. And, because the law prohibits guns in these locations, crazed shooters, who attack them, know that they will not meet any armed resistance from the occupants. So, these locations are “free kill zones”.
Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, they were all “free kill zones”. The shooters never met any armed resistance from their victims. Maybe it is time that we start letting the innocent citizens of this country protect themselves.
I keep seeing adds for Charter in my area. The ads promise high speed internet, TV and Phone at very low prices. But, it isn’t offered in my area and I haven’t found any place where it is offered.
I guess it is like Sonic Drive-ins. You see the ads but you can never buy the product.
How hard can it be to make JellO? Well, apparently harder than I had imagined. I followed the directions but it isn’t working! Either that or there in a new life form in the center of the bowl.
Risotto is so much easier .
I bought a new ring this weekend. Since I had lost 20 pounds after Kathys’ death, I was afraid that I might loose my wedding ring, so I took it off. Yet, I really felt a need to have a ring on that finger. After all, I had a wonderful 37 year marriage but death ended my marriage.
Then, this weekend, I saw a black ring and said “yes! That is exactly what I am look for!” It is a wedding band to symbolize my marriage and black to symbolize the loss of my precious wife. Strange as it may sound, I now feel whole again.
I was in the mall last weekend and I noticed that one of the kiosks offered catalogs of Christmas suggestions. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was for Christmas 2012 or Christmas 2013.
Shop early and shop often!
The TV network news recently announced that this is the hottest it has been in over 100 year. The only time that it was hotter was in 1936.
But, news people don’t like to get confused by the facts so let’s do the math. A hundred years would put us back to 1912. So, if 1936 was the hottest year, then our present temperatures would be the hottest since 1936 and not 1912.
But, these temperatures are nothing compared to the record temps of the 1890s when temps soared to way over 100. I guess they had global warming back in the 1800s.
Grand Rapids has recently been designated “Beer City USA”. And while I don’t have any problem with this designation per se, I have to ask “Who gave Grand Rapids that designation?” Is there a USA beer council? Did the council review every city including Milwaukee before it gave the “Beer City USA” designation to Grand Rapids? Or did Grand Rapids just give themselves that designation?
Maybe this is retaliation for Wisconsin declaring themselves to be the “Mitten State”.
Well, today is Ducky Day in Lowell. They have a parade down main street and food and entertainment. The only thing that they don’t have is adequate parking. And while the activities may be entertaining, it is not nearly as entertaining as trying to drive through town.
