Only a true friend would - - -

 So my friend and I were lunching and I suddenly placed my hands on my face, pulled lifted and said that I'd like to get a facelift - I need one.

As only a dear, supportive friend would reply, "Just do your neck, your face is fine."

After she said it, a look of horror crossed her face but I was rolling around on the floor laughin. Love you, Dear one.

Too Busy Living Life - - -

 Lately there have been sad stories of children and pets being left to die in hot vehicles.

In most cases, it appears to be a terrible tragedy - the result of "busyness" and distraction. There is a case of one father alledgedly leaving his child but that is the exception.

I think I may have a solution!!!

What if every person in charge of the child or infant, set his phone alarm for 5 minutes past his drop time? Also, could co-workers develop a buddy system of checking with one another if indeed the child had been dropped off - and not left in a vehicle. If a spouse is in the picture, maybe a text confirmation??

Have you paid attention when the lead flight attendant calls out for crew to "arm doors and cross check"?

This requires each attendant to arm his/her door and then walk across the plane to "cross check" that the door has been secured by the other crew.

Seems such  a simple solution to save lives. Please pass these ideas along to friends and family. Maybe, just maybe, we can save the children - and the pets.

Note: I have a story to tell not quite leaving a child but forgetting my friend! When she broke her leg, I picked her up and drove her to physio, went home for an hour and then picked her up again.

One day the phone rang and she asked if I were on my way to get her. "Didn't I already pick you up??!!"
I seriously thought I had.

She was safe, had a cell and could call for help - unlike the children.

So I understand how the busyness of life can get in the way. It's so tragic when these deaths are the result of a total accidental situation.

There now, freaked him out - - -

 I don't know about you, but flashing lights at concerts really bother me.

The regular sunglasses I use didn't block the really bright lights.

Off to the store to buy lime green crafter paint. Applied on both sides of the lens really helped.

Lime green you ask, well no one sees me slip them on once the fun begins so why not?

The other night, a friendly gentleman sitting next to me, commented on something. I turned to answer forgetting my slime green lenses. He's probably still running screaming.

As I type this, why not get my Hallowe'en kit out and add a black tooth for next time?

Coffee

So this morn settled in the den, feet up, computer on and ready to do my thing.I filled the pot with water, grabbed a pod, whirled around and got a mug.

With much ado, I gathered my stuff and reached to take a sip - empty mug.

I love mornings:)

Ear Re-piercing - - -

So, about 50 plus years ago a group of my "friends" met at ****'s house before choir practice. 

The conversation came around to ear piercing and once the "mob" realized my ears were all pink and healthy, decided to make them painful, infected and very angry red!

They dragged me off to the bathroom and sat me on the toilet seat - I've no idea why toilet seat and not kitchen chair - maybe her mom would have intervened - if only:)

That night I couldn't sleep for the pain and woke up with swollen, sore, you name it earlobes.

The right ear didn't have a good hole and I have fought to put earrings in for ages.

Monday, at Merle Norman, I was waiting for a makeup lesson - why, I don't know as rarely wear it. Anyway, I heard a bloodcurdling, furious scream emerge from a back area and realized a toddler just had her ears pierced.

By this time I had requested the tech re-do my ear - that toddler had nothing on me! I couldn't cream out loud as that would have been pitiful but I did a big one silently! What a wimp.

kaput:)

Well, a month or so ago my "new" laptop/notepad went kaput. t was only a couple years old.

Finally got a new one, waited til the tech could come set it up and a couple days later was off to Vancouver for a week.

Hopefully new posts will spew forth a week from now -think of everyone always.

A little stroke of brilliance (happens occasionally:)  Corralled all my hair and bath products in a $1.00 basket. Now I can sit on the bench and not have bottles flying all over - with the holes on the sides and bottom, it's perfect.This hand shower is the best - I think I use it more than the wall main one.
