Good Friends

I have needed some painting done around the house, just a few touch ups are needed and painting just isn’t one of the things that I have ever gotten into. I am pretty handy with most household chores and know my way around the toolbox and all, but any type of painting just isn’t something that I have ever enjoyed doing what so ever.

I approached a good friend about the situation and he has volunteered to come over today and take a look to see what is necessary to get the place back up to speed, then we will take a trip to the local Home Depot, grab a gallon of paint and get busy for the rest of the afternoon and early evening. When all is said and done, we will clean up and head out for a nice dinner and drinks on my tab at our favorite sports bar, in order to show my gratitude for his efforts.

Free Milk

I do most of my grocery shopping at the local Food Lion Supermarket, they always seem to have lower prices that the other food stores here in this area. And I really like the cashiers and the pharmacist that work there and that I have come to know so well through out the years. They all know me my name and are so very kind and genuinely sincere with their questions and/or concerns that they approach me with. A lot of times I will have walked out of their in much better spirits than when I had arrived, and that makes a major difference in my shopping habits.

A few times a year thay have a program where you buy 6 gallons of milk and get the 7th one free. Being such an avid milk drinker, I take advantage of that promo every chance that I can, it is a good!

Thanksgiving is coming up next

Tis the season for all the holidays to start popping up, one right after another and now that Halloween is over and all of the decorations are down, I can look forward to a nice home made Turkey dinner at my folks. I have always spent Thanksgiving at their place since day one and I don’t see any reason to change old habits as of now! No body, nor any place cooks a turkey dinner with all the trimmings like my mom.

Low Cal Beer

The most popular beer in the world is Bud Lite. It has held that title for years. I found it surprising that Bud Lite is more popular than regular Budweiser. I’ve always thought that Bud was truly the “King of Beers.”

Has anyone tried the new “Bud Select?” The advertising says full flavor, 99 calories. I would be willing to order that next time I’m out in a bar. If it’s true, I wonder how it prices out against Bud Light? And why are they competing with themselves?

There must be more to beer marketing than even I realize.

Candy and Popcorn

Do you have to go to the movie theater to enjoy a big box of buttered popcorn? I like popcorn at home, as well. In fact there are more options for popcorn flavors if you have popcorn at home. There are so many flavors - it is hard to pick a favorite. The last time I bought a big tin of popcorn we split the three different flavors equally and I liked them all!

Last Christmas I bought tins of popcorn for all the guys and women who work in the company’s warehouse. They work so hard and I wanted to do something nice for them over the holidays. Of course, the company gave them nice bonus checks and the warehouse manager gave them each a holiday ham, but I wanted to do something for them from the sales office, too.

Since then I’ve found a great site for ordering gourmet popcorn for any special occasion. They even have halloween popcorn and tins for a variety of special events and holidays that you can personalize with a handwritten message or a family photo on the lid of the tin. Some of the gift tins are available with snack foods in addition to the popcorn. They are affordable and everyone loves to eat, so you can’t go wrong!
