Hold The Guacamole...........

I don't know about most of my readers but I am slightly picky when it comes to ordering my meals. For instance; I prefer extra sour creme but please 'hold the guac'. When ordering a burger a Wendy's I want mine without pickles or onions, but.... add some cheese please.

Why? Why? Why? Do I get charged extra for cheese and sour creme? NEVER has a fast food establishment or restaurant subtracted anything off my bill for the guacamole? Or.... if I prefer not to have french fries but would love some fresh fruit instead - I get charged extra. I do not understand this.

This is something I have pondered forever; It totally makes me go hmmmm........

I know I have readers from every walk of life in different parts of the world. Many of you must by shy as I rarely receive a comment (just emails from you) Don't get me wrong, I love that too but.......... I am looking for feedback on this post.

How Times Have Changed.........Kids have no clue!

I have not posted in a long time........ Have had some personal issues, with that being said - Writers block is only natural.

ANYWHO..................

So I am on the phone with my dad yesterday, not quite sure how we got on the subject of times changing but WOW! I always thought that my grandparents were so lucky to see so many things come about in their era. As my dad and I start comparing stories of what we have seen come, go and change. I try to explain this to my kids and they look at me like I am nuts. For example: I remember when there was no such thing as a remote control for the tv. My brother and I were the remote: Hey, go change the channel to 4 - its almost time for the news. My kids have never seen a tv without a remote. They look at me like I am an alien when I tell them we never had remotes back in the 1970's. Or how about; getting up at 6:00 on Saturday mornings to catch cartoons - the only day of the week that we could watch them. My youngest son says; "Seriously Mom, they did not have cartoon network back then?" Ha!!

My dad then continued to tell me how all government standardized tests were on paper and NOW...... that would be a joke. He told me when he took his real estate brokers exam - they had just moved the test to a computer and how he became very anxious that it was on computer, he had a hard time concentrating on it. Can you imagine?

I could ramble on all day about our conversation, which was so interesting. I will post in list form for you all to ponder and realize how much has come our way in the last few years. It is really quite amazing!

Cable TV (remember the punch buttons - if you put a tooth pick into numbers one and eight you could get free HBO)

Cell Phones

Fax Machines

Internet

Email

Computers

VCR

DVR

Walkman to Ipod

Sprinkler System

Satellite TV

Microwave

Rabbit Ears on the tv - you had to move them to get a great picture

TV would shut off at 10:00 or 11:00 every night, Ugh! I hated that.

WOW! I am sure I could add so many more, I bet my kids are wondering when their rooms can be clean digitally. Ha, Dream On! I tell them.

Sweet Revenge? Or.... Mean?

I am not sure that this video qualifies as something that makes you go hmm.....
But.... I can tell you that I laughed so darn hard when I saw this, not to mention the rest of the family. It is VERY important that you have the sound on!

I tried unsuccessfully to post the video here; I can't get it...... so click on the link below and see for yourself.

Got A Tattoo You Regret?

I am not opposed to tattoos, infact one day I plan on getting one. I will take my time and make sure that the tat that I choose will be of taste and something that I will not regret later in life.


In my opinion the pictures below depict tatoos that were chosen while under the influence of some crazy drug, alcohol, or severe depression. Take a look for yourself and leave me a comment if you disagree - heck leave me a comment if you do agree.



These make me go hmmmmmmmm.....................

Strange Things In The Microwave..........

Don't you remember as a small child your mom would say not to put anything other than food in the microwave. (not even the cat!)

Well; of course there was some group of guys that decided to try a little bit of everything in the microwave. Kinda reminds me of the movie jackass! Below is a link to a website where you can see all sorts of goodies going through "nuke mode". If you don't have time to see them all I recommend the eggs and the ketchup packets.

Enjoy!!
