My vacuum quit working halfway through my housework. Its not the belt and I can’t find a clog, but it just doesn’t pick up anything any more. I’m so disgusted with these cheap vacuums! It seems like none of them last more than a year. So I have to go up to K-Mart and buy another new vacuum today so I can finish cleaning my house.
I watched the new movie starring George Clooney. It is called “Up in the Air.”
The main character works for a company that is a source for other big companies who need to lay off employees or reduce their workforce. He is a professional firing consultant or something. I don’t think he ever gave his job a name.
It was a good movie. The advertisements did not pique my interest, but I picked up a handful of movies on sale cheap and this movie was one of them. Well worth the $3 that I paid for it, and cheaper than a ticket at the real movie theater.
Shopping at Sams Club over the weekend, I decided to pick up a large box of assorted nuts. They come in individual packets for snacking, with three different flavors. Each flavor has about 10 packets: honey roasted peanuts, salted peanuts and cashews.
This morning I wanted to grab a packet of cashews to take with me in the car while running errands. Would you believe that ALL the cashew packets are already gone? Who on Earth would eat all 10 packets of cashews in just 3 days?
Last year I planted tomatoes and they all had a fungus problem and died. All of the plants purchased from Lowes, Home Depot and K-Mart were sent from the nursery with the fungus infection in the soil and they all died.
I am not going to use the same pots and soil for this year’s plants, as the fungus has probably contaminated everything. So if I buy tomato plants this year, I want a guarantee from the store that they are healthy and I’m going to keep the receipt in case I have any problems again this year. I spent at least fifty dollars on my gardening supplies last year and got nothing in return. I’m not going to waste my time and money again without some satisfaction from the store that caused the problems.
I don’t like pencils. They are dirty, the way they smudge across the paper or writing surface and end up with dark smudges all over the side of your hand after you write with a pencil. I don’t trust anyone who uses a pencil to fill in a crossword puzzle or work with math. If you know what you are doing you don’t need to be able to erase your answers. I like pens and I like the different colors of ink and different types of pens. That’s just my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
