ON SALE!!! Love those two words.

I love this time of the year.   Everything is on sale.  SALE is my very

favorite word.  50% to 70% off is even better.  My car is overflowing with

bargains (shoes, bags. eyewear and more).  By the time I empty the

shopping bags, I look at all the junk I grabbed and pulled at for several

hours. Guess what?  90% is going back to the store for someone else to

grab.  It was great fun while it lasted.

Think happy thoughts today

Thieves getting away with skimmers

Thieves seem to find new ways to get our cash.  They do not

use guns, knives, or for that matter even hold up banks.

There is a gadget called skimmers. This electronic gizmo

steals credit and debit card information.  In one month this

crook stole 59 IDs and over $10,000.  Nationwide

skimming has increased over 10% in the last year. This

skimming has cost all of us $1-2.5 billion.  We

have to be very carefully of how we use our cards.  It gets

scarier everyday.

Be aware of your surroundings today and everyday

Don't forget your Passport!

Security is very important to all of us.  Recently, I was going on a cruise,

but one of my friends forgot her passport.  When I called the cruise line,

she was told that she could under no circumstances board the liner,

because of the security.  Thus, we could not go on our trip. The liner

told me I could change my ticket for another day (with an extra charge of

100 dollars per ticket)….Not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!! The new law is we must have

proof of being an American citizen.

If you’re going out of the country, even to Bahamas, TAKE your passport.

Sex Offenders

A locally elected representative in my district was found guilty of molesting many young people for years.  He was found guilty and sentenced to jail for (I think) 2 years.  He is now out of jail.  Lo and behold there is talk of this SICK person running for re-election.  What is wrong with our system that will let a convicted felon be allowed to represent us in Congress?  This makes me sick!!!!!

Smile at a stranger today

I've been away....

I just return from the trip from H**l.  I had to go to Boston

for a funeral.  I have not seen snow for many years. I hated it

as a kid, now as an adult I hate it even more!!!!!!  The snow

was, at some points, over my head.  As the cars skidded by

us, my knuckles got whiter and whiter.  As much as I wanted

to be there for my friends, I could not wait to get home to a

chilly 68 degrees.  Now I know why I moved.

Have a happy day

Restaurant Service

Maybe this is just my imagination, but have you ever felt like a second-class citizen in an upper class restaurant?  The reason I’m asking this question - last weekend several very well dressed ladies went to dine at a “snazzy manzzy” steak house.  Our table was way in the back, not to far from the kitchen.  Our waiter looked at us with complete disregard.  I must say dinner was really excellent with little input from our waiter. Now, it’s dessert time and out comes our new friendly waiter (same old one but with a smile) we ordered coffee. He became so friendly as he handed us the check (eck eck). He was falling all over himself  (perhaps you think he wanted a extra generous tip??).

What a fool!!  Don’t judge the ladies by their cover.

Five grannie apples for the food

No grannie apples for the waiter and only 10 percent tip

What is happening with the weather?

What is happening with the weather around the world? California has had the most rainfall it has ever had (it is still raining).  Florida had the hottest summer in years. We have had very little rain, now it’s so dry we’re afraid of fires.  Australia has so much rain that the flooding is so bad it has caused problems for areas the size of Italy and France.  We just had a snowstorm that blanked the entire Northeast for several days.  New York is still trying to shovel itself out. The word is that the union has something to do with the lack of snow removal (now I know why I live in Florida- no unions).

Keep your chins up summer will be here in six months.

Laugh a lot it’s good for wrinkles.
