“A new economic study reveals that once Oprah and Facebook are subtracted, the United States of America is worth 40 dollars.” – Andy Borowitz on Huffington Post.

Spent an hour of reading Andy Borowitz today. That’s how my life is this week.

There is help for those with muscle pain. When I had knee pain, my doctor referred me to see a physical therapist. The therapist gave me ultrasound treatments that eased the pain.
Now you can do it yourself at home. Try the LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator. I don’t know if…
People who know me recommended Julie and Julia. They know I only watch nice movies: no sex, no violence, no tear-jerkers, no drama, no vulgar language, no social agendas, no cheesy love stories, and of course, no bad endings.
Julie and Julia is my type of movie. I was waiting for something bad to happen…and nothing did. It was all good.
I grew up in Pasadena. I grew up watching the Rose Parade.
My parents owned a restaurant on Colorado Blvd, and almost every New Years day, we watched the Rose Parade from the roof of the restaurant or on the sidewalk.
I never got tired of it. I loved the excitement and crowds, and picking up roses from the street after the parade.
Some games are fun because they are fun games. But most games are only fun if the people playing them are fun.
Take for example the game Apples to Apples. If you play with people who are not fun, and do not put effort into making it fun, it’s not a fun game.
Life is like that.
We went to see the taping of Skating with the Stars at the CBS studios yesterday.
First of all, I’ve never seen the show before. I’ve never seen Dancing with the Stars. I don’t watch TV.
Second, I don’t know any “celebrities”, and I didn’t recognize anyone at the taping.
Several years ago, we remodeled our kitchen. Our house was built in the 70’s and the kitchen was the original cabinets and tile counters. The style at the time of my remodel was light cabinets and granite counter tops. A stainless steel kitchen sink was a must. I wanted a butcher block countertop table in the middle of the kitchen as an island, but there was not enough room for one.
We were cleaning out our cabinet of of DVDs and VHS tapes. It’s amazing how the industry has changed.
I remember my daughter had a friend in second grade whose parents owned a video rental store. They would bring in a popular children’s movie for the class to watch during party days. My daughter is…
Bad news: my husband had chest pains and went to ER
Good news: it wasn’t a heart attack
Bad news: his EKG was abnormal, looked liked a heart attack
Good news: he felt fine with no more chest pains when he was at the hospital
Bad news: he had to stay overnight at the hospital in CCU to run more tests to make sure
Our family is weird. We love brussel sprouts, spinach, artichokes, and all kinds of vegetables.
I saw this at Trader Joe’s today. It’s the first time I’ve seen a brussel sprout stalk. Rather pretty, don’t you think? It can be a centerpiece – for the right table setting.
It’ll be exciting to pluck them and cook them tomorrow.
