Wooly bully

Filed under: Fun, General Living — Copa @ 6:29 pm

This morning I was listening to the music channel on television and the song Wooly Bully came on. Before I knew it my wife grabbed me up and we were dancing in the kitchen! Boy did that song take me back to my teenaged years!

Oh, for the good ol’ days!

Security issues

When we lived in New England, I had a video security system hooked up at the shop.  Since the shop was left unattended for hours at a time, Iwanted to be able to see who was on the property in the event anything turned up missing or vandalized!  I had a lot of expensive equipment on the grounds, and expensive tools and equipment inside.

Before I bought that system, I asked Joe for some tips about what kind of system he liked the best. He’s had several different systems in the past, and I trusted his judgement.

Joe actually gave me one of his used systems that he didn’t need anymore, and he helped me with the installation of the system too. When we moved down here and sold that shop building, I brought the system with me. I haven’t hooked it up yet; I haven’t decided whether to hook it up to the house or to the storage shed out back!

A new snack

I decided to give my wife a break today and do the grocery shopping. I decided to go to Wal-Mart because we needed pet food, and that is the cheapest place for us to get the Iams brand cat food that we need.

There was a demo booth there with a lady handing out samples of the new Bugles Caramel chips. They were delicious! I bought two bags of them; only one of the bags made its way home! If you can find them in your store, give them a try! They were only $1.67 a bag at Wal-Mart – don’t pay more at someplace more expensive!

I love the web!

Thanks for the article from Glenda Hanson

Vacation planned! Success. I love hughesnet internet. I’m finally using high speed internet orrs island now, as my previous land line provider was awful, and it is so nice to be able to get online and do what I need to do this easily. I was able to go on the web and score some cheap tickets to visit my family this summer just by trolling around various travel websites throughout the day and waiting for a sale (sorry boss).

Soooo much easier then when I used to have to call each airline individually. And since my mom wanted to get out of the city for a few days I read some travel reviews and hotel reviews and picked a cute B&B that’s a few hours away from her house for us to spend the weekend at. Not only that, but I’ve been searching for things to do in the area since then and I already have a mini list that I’m going to present to mom, and she can pick her favorites. Which hopefully will be my favorites – maybe I can guide her a little, lol. I’m counting down the days!

Pringles

Filed under: Business, Food, Friends — Copa @ 10:50 am

I have never really liked the taste of Pringles. They just don’t have the light crispness that I have become accustomed to and their flavors just don’t float my boat. The other day my wife brought home a tube of Pringles, the sour cream and onion flavor.  I was starving so I grabbed a couple to tide me over until lunch time. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and found myself wanting more!
