Dressing up

I really enjoy dressing up in my good clothes to go to a meeting or out to a fancy restaurant.  So I’m really glad to have started joining some clubs that have fancy functions to go to from time to time!  I want to buy a pair of crocodile skin shoes to wear to the next fancy function.  I’ve found a great discount menswear website called Upscale Menswear that sells genuine crocodile shoes, and they have a really great selection to choose from.  I think the black wing tip shoes would look the best with the suits that I have, and the price is right!

Upscale Menswear also sells high quality suits, dress shirts, casual shirts and suits and fur coats.  Some of the selection is really classic, some is really wild! 

Black fence

I have never seen so much black fence in my life!  Everywhere I go, there is black fence; three tier.  I know this is horse country (and cattle) although I have seen a lot of sheep.  They’re really cute!  But miles and miles and miles of black fence!

My wife says that she seems to remember a time when the fences around the farms were white instead of black, and to be honest, we do see a few of them, and most of them DO look older.  I wonder why the farmers decided to switch to black?  My wife thinks maybe it is because the white ones get dirty looking quicker, maybe the black ones are easier to maintain, or maybe the black ones are made out of a cheaper but better longer lasting material.  I guess that is one question I’ll never have the answer to!

Cases for iphones

One of the biggest problems I’ve heard iphone owners complain about is how beat up and scratched up the iphones get in a relatively short period of time.  Most people seem to need to get some kind of protective iphone case to keep the iphone scratch free.

ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD™ is a practically indestructible iphone case that is made from a material that was developed by and used by the military.  The military used it on helicopter blades to protect them from dust, debris, and dirt.  The case is very thin, only .2mm thick.  The case comes with a lifetime warranty against scratches and wear.  This product sounds like the answer to the problem of iphone scratches!

Jealous dogs

Filed under: Family,General Living — Copa @ 4:40 pm

A while back our dog died.  We’ve always had a dog; so my wife, after sobbing for a couple of weeks decided to go out and adopt a dog instead of buying one.  I thought it was a great idea.  I didn’t think it was going to be quite like adopting a baby; the dog was old but still full of spunk!  It settled in nicely, even when we moved to another state it adapted well.  Well, a funny thing happened!  We acquired another dog, which was basically a baby.  And apparently it didn’t have much love before he came to us, and we love our pets equally. 

Well, it was a funny thing, the more we loved up the new dog the more the old dog came around and tried to intercede and be loved up as much.  Usually she just lays there and wags her tail and smiles.  Now, no matter what, whenever I play with one dog, the other one is right there.  And I mean RIGHT THERE!  One dog is jumping up on the other and trying to get the person to pay more attention to the other.  To me, that is just pure jealousy!  But I guess it’s good, it tells me they both love being where they are!
