It says it all really. Everyone where you turn there are more and more diet aids. They just stand out like there is no tomorrow. Top Diets, Super Pills, best diet pills, etc. They are in stores, commercials, TV, news papers. Wow just all over. You would think with all this there would some type of peer pressure. hehe. Oh well what can you do right.
It feels like the sun around here lately. Just more and more. Lately it’s been really hot here, and usually we don’t see this hot weather till mid july. They are forecasting a high of 102 tomorrow with a heat index of 105.. Yikes..! As I type this and its’s roughly 940pm, it’s still 92 out.!!! Just crazy. Why did I move here again? LOL…
Anyone else have something they see over and over again, or more and more…? I would like to hear about it..
It’s Friday, that’s for sure. I’m thankful that it’s Friday. Looking back on this week, I cannot believe how the US men’s soccer team is playing lately. Some reason (I’m not sure how) they are still in the world cup qualifier. I guess it could be because some of the other teams are not very good. But when I was watching the Costa Rica game, wow we looked horrible. Now the Confederations Cup is moving forward and here we are sitting at 0-2. We lost to Italy 1-3 and of course Italy is the World Champions so at least we scored right? But what’s this….. Egypt beats Italy yesterday 1-0.. oh boy that makes us look really good. Also yesterday we lost to Brazil 0-3. So here we are sitting in Group B in last place with 0 points and a -5 goal differential.
Sunday we play against Egypt. I really hope these guys are resting or doing whatever they need to do to hopefully win something in this cup. Rest, take their top diet pills, swim, I don’t know. But they better figure it out. Or this will be an embarrassing Confederations cup and a more embarrassing World Cup next year.
I was talking with a friend/co-worker the other day about security systems, etc. It turned out to be a good and lengthy discussion about it. I guess what got us on the topic is all the work we have recently did getting out work place secure. In the last few months we have installed 20 some regular cameras around various places inside and out started to use these systems to record activity, etc. So we started talking about home systems and what there is to have at the home. And there is quite a bit of options. Of course there are the traditional cameras, like we just talked about. There are various alarm systems out these days, including, wireless alarms. And one can also get a really big and loud dog too. Or a combination of all of them. I also cannot forget the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide sensors. I think those are a must.
So today I was at the store running around picking out some cards for my wife’s upcoming birthday and to grab some lunch and I turn the corner and hit the aisle that contains the incontinence products. I’m sure I will need them one day I will require this aisle of products but not at the moment. So I just zipped on by while I was gathering up my goods.
Sometimes I don’t mind running around the store. Most of the times the lines are short which I really like. But to side track the other night it took forever which was not really appreciated, LOL…
I think I need some Mp3 players. I used to have one in my old Kia when I lived up in Seattle. It was so nice. I could just burn a CD of my favorite all time best songs in mp3 format and I could listen to it for hours. It was also nice to not have to switch back and forth between cd’s in my single cd player.
So what I would like to do is add one to my current car. Yes I know I have 6 CD changer but could you image the amount of songs if you had a 6 CD mp3 player.. Oh yeah!!!
That would just make my day. I guess I will have to price some out and save some money.
It’s been a few years. 5 days a week. Almost 52 weeks per year. I drive the same route to work. Now some days I may alter the way I go. It all depends on traffic accidents, weather etc. But for the most part it’s the same way. Most of the time it’s rather boring. I see the same ole stuff every day. I pass by warehouses, homes, oil rigs, industrial equipment shops, parks, downtown Fort Worth, you get the idea.
I know most things are static, I get that. Maybe I’m not wide awake while driving. Either way I have to make it 28 miles to work. At least when I was in Seattle I had huge tall trees and awesome mountain scapes to look at.
Is your drive to work the same all the time? What do you see when you drive back and forth to work?
My co-worker’s cousin, had some good news recently.
He is 14 or maybe he is 15, and has been batteling cancer for awhile now. I don’t think he has mesothelioma, but I do know just a few weeks ago the doctors came back after some tests and said it has reappeared in his blood stream and spinal fluid. Well some good news came out the other day and the Doctor said that he cannot detect any cancer in the blood stream or spinal fluid. That is AWESOME! news. At least I think so.
So I’m going to try and keep this updated on his condition. I think he is moving in the right direction now.
After our last move into our current house, I told my wife I didn’t want to move for a very long time, and so far it’s been almost 4 years. I know for others, depending on the situation, they have no control over that and have to move every year or two.
I think the worst part is the actual packing and loading. Before that you have to gather some items. Packing material, bubble wrap, various types of boxes, like, shipping boxes, big boxes, medium and little, and possibly dish pan size. We just had some friends move. Actually two sets. I wonder what they used. They probably just threw some things together in whatever they had.
I’m sure this won’t be our last move. But I hope can be organized and ready when the time comes.
