Friends may come and friends may go, be damn do they have to go so quickly. It seems that my good friend Shannon just moved back here from Texas, the Houston area, and all of a sudden she is looking at Dallas Real Estate and Dallas Homes For Sale, back down in the great state of Texas. I know that she spent the first 11 years of her life there but all of her family is up here now, so I’m not really sure what keeps taking her back that far away and has her looking at Dallas Homes for Sale. Even her kids are up around here, although they aren’t little any more, but still.
These days people are so transit, friends and family members are always having to say good bye, while watching their loved ones move away. I really think that has a lot to do with family not connecting the way that they used to. I grew up on a street that had numerous relatives living all up and down that road, it was an awesome way to grow up, it’s too bad times like that have totally changed.
I haven’t heard any ZZ Top in so long, but yesterday on the radio they played this song “Gimme All Your Lovin” and man did it have me rocking on down the highway. So I couldn’t wait to get home and head straight to my laptop and get on YouTube.com and find some of their videos.
Now who wouldn’t want to have the opportunity to have their garage receive a make-over? My father has decided that he has had enough of my over flowing, completely disorganized garage and has decided to take over and get to the task at hand himself. At first he was thinking that we just might need a couple of Steel Sheds put in the back, but then tabled that idea and just get the current garage situation under control so that I can really put my car in there!
Good thing that my dad is comfortable and knowledgeable on the Internet because he has found some really cool items and ideas online. He has found a great deal on Steel Storage Cabinets at Arrowspacemaker.com that all kinds of cool and exciting Arrow Spacemaker Garage Storage products and ideas. I’m so lucky and blessed to have a father that is able and willing to do things like this for me, there is no way I could tackle a project like this for numerous reasons and I’m so grateful for him and what he has done for me and mine in the past and continues to do without being asked to.
Had to go to the local Jiffy Lube during lunch yesterday and have them throw an oil change on my car. Thank goodness they got me in and out quickly, I even had enough time to grab a bit to eat before heading back to work. Lunch breaks are never quite long enough to get things done and something in the stomach to keep you going until you clock out.
I’ve had Nationwide Insurance for as long as I can remember having auto insurance. We are always seeing the commercials from the various large insurance companies urging us to switch over and save around $300 a year by doing so. Well I have to say that I went online and got a quote from Progressive and I switched over today and guess what – I’m saving $50 a month which totals $300, just like the commercials are saying. Too funny!
Since my best friend since the 4th grade has decided to go ahead and take the plunge and marry her fiance of 4 years now, I have been handed the position and all the responsibilities of being her Maid of Honor. This is something that I have never done before and to make it such a difficult task is that my best friend lives way up in Toledo Canada which is a crazy long distance away from me. It broke my heart when she moved up there, but thank goodness for cell phones, Face Book, texting and Instant Messaging. Having these communication options available to us has been a blessing.
I have been looking into some of the Toledo wedding florists that I have been able to find by going online to the Internet. All I had to do was Google “wedding florists in Toledo” and then “wedding flowers Toledo” and I came up with a few that I think she will enjoy getting in touch with and seeing for herself all that they have to offer her for her dream wedding. The more I can do for her the better, planning a big long distance wedding is going to be a challenge, but I’m always ready for a good challenge and that is what BFF’s and Maid of Honors do right?
A friend sent me this last night, it’s one of those that you don’t know is fact or fiction, but it certainly is a curiosity.
During a private “fly-in” fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane.
The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!!!
I think that it is pretty cool that in Canada you can find services that will assist with people that need to remove criminal record listings and help with the canadian pardon application that is available to their citizens. I never knew that that was an option until I stumbled onto a site that advertises these services. Oh how I love the Internet and all the things that I learn from it almost on a daily or weekly basis, how did we ever live and survive without it?
I have always been interested in taking a trip into Canada and see what it is all about. I don’t speak any French, but from what I understand that shouldn’t be an issue in most of Canada. The other issue is that I HATE the cold, but I’ve recently learned that isn’t always cold up there either as I always thought.
So if you have any interest in learning about the removal of criminal record canada style you can go to pardonservicescanada.com and see what that is all about and learn something new for the day as well. They have a lot of intersting stuff there.
