Dr Copa Scrip for Success

I remember when this song first came out so many years ago. My mother was driving me to my dentist appointment and this came on the radio and she started humming the tune, which totally freaked me out. She had to explain that this was not an entirely new tune and that I needed to grow up and start realizing that she wasn’t born in the Stone Ages!  Strange the things that we remember from our youth.

Thought I was doing my kid sister a favor by sending her the link last week to the carpet cleaning round rock for her to check out, but she hasn’t bothered to respond to my email so I guess she doesn’t appreciate the information. She has been acting a bit strange lately, not sure what is up with that. I do know that she is spending way too much time on Facebook these past couple of months since she was laid off from her job as a school bus driver. I’m afraid that she is sinking into a depression and since she lives so far away it is a challenge for the rest of us (her family) to try and help her through this whole ordeal.

It’s a shame that families are moving and drifting so far apart these days. I really believe that it was a much better deal for all concerned when everyone lived within a 30 mile radius, we could see each other, talk with each other and help each other out so much easier.

One of the things that I’ve always been a little bit concerned about with these widely used flash drives is just how secure can they be?  They are so very small it is easy to lose them, and it could be very easy for some “shady” character to “palm” them and take off without you even knowing it! I’m just saying…

Although there are a lot of things we can buy over the Internet at a great price, there are times when we need to find something locally.  Like plumbing services, a tow truck or a good local restaurant.  I don’t know why it is, but whenever I am looking for the paper version of the local Yellowpages, I can’t seem to find it!

So even though I know we have several telephone books in the house, instead of trying to find them I just go on the Internet to the local.com website to do a local search for the businesses and services that I need to have done.  It’s quick and easy, and I don’t have to try to remember to put it away when I’m through with it!

I was amazed the first time I saw a USB flash drive.  My kids call them “thumb drives.”  The first one we bought didn’t have much memory (I think it was 128) and was really expensive, but it was a convenient way to move files from one place to another.  The next one we bought was four times the storage size (512), but the same big price.  A couple of months ago we found a USB flash drive for sale that was a the same price as the other ones we had bought a couple of years ago, but it had  whopping 8GB storage!  It’s incredible how technology advances so fast!
