One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.
Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.

It’s all about saving as much money as you can for all purchases made any day of the year and especially around the holiday season, which by the way if you hadn’t noticed, is fast approaching us. As of this writing there is only 51 days, 6 hours and 50 minutes until Christmas day 2011 and there is still so much to get done. I try and do as much shopping online as I can but some times we all have to venture out into the real world and spend our money in our local retail stores and my favorite store is Walmart. So I was happy to find that there are walmart coupons to be found online at Dropdowndeals.com and I wanted to take just a moment and spread the word, lots of other coupons can be found there as well.

Nothing against Jacob, and Edward isn’t all that good looking. But Edward has such self control! I admire that. Jacob still acts like a teenager, all hot headed and jealous. I’m all for Team Edward.

During one of the most bizarre job interviews I ever had, I was made to take a “character and morality test.” They never told me whether I passed or failed. I always wondered if there were trick questions on that test. Especially the one that asked if you have ever cheered for the “bad guy” in a movie. Answering yes probably got me disqualified from that job, but I was honest.
There are a lot of movies where you cheer for the “bad guy.” The one that came to mind was “Cool Hand Luke.” I always felt that he was wronged throughout his incarceration, and that the sheriff was wrong to not get him medical care when he was shot. As far as I’m concerned, the sheriff murdered Luke, which makes him no better than the people he was arresting.

Well now that I know what a good soundbar speaker can do for your (my) listening pleasure, I have decided that I would like to purchase one for the TV in the living room which is connected to the kitchen, which is where I spend a good amount of my time in. I have been saying for years that I am having an issue hearing the big 42 inch flat screen TV that we got a few years back with one of our tax return checks.
Of course I am usually multi-tasking while everyone else sitting on their rears, so that has an impact on my listening. I usually have the kitchen sink running, or the microwave oven buzzing along, and of course there is the dish washer that is anything but the nice and quite models that they have out now, along with the all the noise that goes along with the shuffling of dishes, glasses and silverware and my pots and pans. With all of that going on I have a major handicap when it comes to trying to hear what is being said and/or played on the TV, we have the Closed Captioning turned on and that has helped quite a bit, but who ever is in charge of that whole issue is seriously lacking what it takes to translate and put into words accurately and in a timely fashion, but that subject is for another time….
