Telling Time in The 21st Century

There has always been something about wearing a nice wrist watch that has always appealed to me. Even though a lot of folks have gotten away from wearing watches and now turn to their cell phones, PCs. Blackberries and the like to find the time of day, I still prefer to have a watch on my wrist to turn to when in need. It doesn’t matter if it is digital or not as long as the numbers and/or symbols are big enough that these tired old eyes can read them is my main concern.

I’ve been asked by numerous people what I would like for Christmas this year. There really isn’t any thing much that I desire or need these days, but I always enjoy receiving new wrist watches as a gift. So I have gone online to see what is available out there these days so that I can more easily guide folks to the type of watches that I would like to receive and be able to wear.

Zappos.com has a great selection of watches that have caught my eye. I’ve always liked the Timex brand and Zappos has decent prices to offer their customers, so I can just direct people to Zappos and feel comfortable that they will find something that would be nice to receive this Christmas.

Day Time Judge TV Shows

I don’t get the chance to watch week day television very often. But I can tell you that when I do have the opportunity that I don’t watch any of the shows that have these Reality show Judges. Judge Judy just scares the piss out of me and gets on my last nerve and has turned me off of watching any of these types of reality shows for good.

Two Lessons

A lawyer boarded an airplane in New Orleans with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blond stewardess to take care of them for him.

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew’s refrigerator.

He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen mentioning in a very haughty manner that he was a lawyer, and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out.

Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior.

 Shortly before landing in New York she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, “Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in New Orleans, please raise your hand?”

Not one hand went up … So she took them home and ate them.

 

Two lessons here:

1. Lawyers aren’t as smart as they think they are.

2. Blonds aren’t as dumb as most folks think.

Leaves Keep A Falling

Over the weekend I decided to take some time to rake up some of the many leaves that have found their way onto my lawn. I made the mistake of going outside right after I got out of the shower,with my hair still wet. I should have known better, because now I have a terrible cough that has made my life miserable and I feel like hell.

To top it all off, I still have a lot more leaves that need to be raked up and I’m feeling too poorly to do anything much about it all for now.

I Love My Direct TV

Did you know that you can get Direct TV for less than $1 per month? They are offering 150 channels for $29.99 a month for 12 months right now. I’ve had DirectTV for several years now and couldn’t be happier with them and I like to refer people to them because of the great deals and service that I have received from them.

I’ve always had satellite, never have been a fan of cable and what they have to offer. My parents turned me on to Directv, so we both got a nice $100 referral check for their efforts. All of my brothers and sisters have Direct TV as well and have referred them to several people as well.

Now that football season has started I am watching all the games on the NFL Sunday Ticket package that they offer their customers, which entitles me to watch up to 16 games per week, which adds up to over 200 games each season, along with many exclusive bonus features that other companies are not offering their customers. I can tune into channel 700 to find out what is happening with all of the leagues and get real time scores and stats when ever I get the chance to. I love my Direct TV!
