hotdogs, drinks, pretzels, candy                                        $70.00

wrist bands so they could spend the ENTIRE

evening in the bounce houses and pitchers cage

Valentine’s Day

OK…so I know it’s a day after Valentine’s Day.  But why do we have only one day a year dedicated to love.  Should be every day…

So with that in mind, here’s a nice little love song by one of my favorite bands Moscow Express with Mike Michels singing Tango Till We Die.

Christmas Humor

It’s Christmas and hopefully the busy, in a hurry, stressed everything is over.  What we need is to lighten up with a little Christmas humor.  Luckily I have been cruising cyber space and have found some things to amuse us.

So Much to do for Christmas

It’s almost Christmas.  Doesn’t much feel like Christmas where I am…maybe because it’s still 70 degrees here.  But I went shopping anyway…

Santa

Apparently crawling onto Santa’s lap and whispering “I have been a bad, bad girl,” is NOT appropriate behavior for the Mall.  Who knew?

Of course…if Santa looked like this…hummmm…

Christmas-9

Didn’t know Santa had a son.

 

But, I’ll get to watch my favorite Christmas movie…

Elf

Dang…I just love candy canes.

And then there are all those presents to wrap.

Don’t ya just love big red bows?

Christmas-8

And then you have to decorate a tree.

Christmas-7

My, my.  Look at all those Christmas ba….um…decorations.

And there’s that Christmas letter telling Santa if you’ve been naughty or nice.

I’ll leave you with Joshua Gawrysiak..let him decide if you’re naughty or nice.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

 

Men in Kilts

The kilt originated as the traditional dress of men and boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century.   The kilt is a knee-length garment with pleats at the rear.  It is most often made of woolen cloth in a tartan pattern.

old kilt

Earliest know depiction of kilts –  about 1630.

Since the 19th century it has become associated with the wider culture of Scotland in general.  Although the kilt is most often worn on formal occasions and at Highland games and sports events, it has also been adapted as an item of fashionable informal male clothing in recent years, returning to its roots as an everyday garment.

Noah Galloway

Noah

Sergeant Noah Galloway was assigned to the 1st of the 502nd Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky during Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Just three months in to his second tour of duty, Noah lost his left arm above the elbow and left leg above the knee in an Improvised Explosive Device attack.

After a long recovery, Noah did what many disabled veterans do.  He became withdrawn, out of shape and depressed.  Then late one night, Noah took a long look in the mirror, realized there was more to him than the injuries, and set a goal to get back in shape, be healthier and inspire others.

Now a personal trainer, Noah continues to compete, participating in adventure races plus numerous 5K and 10K races.

Most recently, Noah is on the November cover of Men’s Health Magazine, having been named the publication’s 2014 Ultimate Guy. He’s also been a guest on numerous national talk shows including Ellen and The Today Show.

Noah…Thanks for your Sacrifice.  Thanks for your Service.

Fun Facts For Halloween

Fun Facts for Halloween

trick or treat

Ireland is typically believed to be the birthplace of Halloween.  In Great Britain, Jack-O-Lanterns were traditionally made from turnips. The Halloween custom came to American through Irish immigrants, and since turnips weren’t cheap, Americans used pumpkins. Today, pumpkins are used worldwide, to the disappointment of turnip farmers everywhere.

99% of all pumpkins sold are used for jack-o-lanterns at Halloween.

A Swiss gardener grew the world’s heaviest pumpkin.  Beni Meier, 30, grew the pumpkin that weighed in at 2,096 pounds.

biggest pumpkin

New Orleans holds the current world record for largest Halloween Party with 17,777 costumed revelers at once.

The Village Halloween parade in New York City is the largest Halloween parade in the United States. The parade includes 50,000 participants and draws over 2 million spectators.

In many countries, such as France and Australia, Halloween is seen as an unwanted and overly commercial American influence.

There’s a $1,000 fine for using or selling Silly String in Hollywood on Halloween.  The prank product has been banned in Hollywood since 2004 after thousands of bored people would buy it on the streets of Hollywood from illegal vendors and “vandalize” the streets. There is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in jail for “use, possession, sale or distribution of Silly String in Hollywood from 12:01 AM on October 31 to 12:00 PM on November 1.”

 silly string

A 1951 Peanuts comic strip can be credited with the popular spread of trick or treating as we know it nationwide.

Candy corn has been made with the same recipe by the Jelly Belly Candy Company since around 1900.  What’s in that recipe, exactly? Sugar, corn syrup, and marshmallow.  One serving (about 30 pieces) has 140 calories.  October 30th is National Candy Corn Day.

Chocolate candy bars top the list as the most popular candy for trick-or-treaters with Snickers #1. Chocolate makes up about three-quarters of a trick-or-treaters loot, according to the National Confectioners Association.  Which is good because fifty percent of kids prefer to receive chocolate candy for Halloween, compared with 24% who prefer non-chocolate candy and 10% who preferred gum.

In 2010, 72.2% of those surveyed by the National Retail Federation will hand out candy, 46.3% will carve a pumpkin, 20.8% will visit a haunted house, and 11.5% will dress up their pets.  86% of Americans decorate their homes in celebration of Halloween.

Halloween is a $6 billion industry, making Halloween the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas.

Halloween Fun Fact: In Alabama, it is illegal to dress-up as a priest.

Twins

Twins intrigue us.  Especially identical twins.  Two people who look exactly alike.

Here’s some fun facts about identical twins…

The chance of having identical twins is 1 in 285 births.  They may be identical in every other way…but their fingerprints are not identical.  Women who are tall and women who eat a lot of diary are more likely to have twins.  Mothers of twins tend to live longer and Moms expecting twins tend to have more morning sickness.

Twins interact with each other in the womb as early as 14 weeks.  Almost half of all twins invent their own language.

Remember this movie?  One twin got all the good genes and the other twin got all the bad genes.  Just hysterical.  But thank God that’s not the way it really works.

Twins-1

Noooooo….this is the way it works…

 

For God so loved the world that She gave us not one hot guy, but two hot guys who look just like one another.

To Exercise or Not…

I’m thinking I should get in a little better shape.  Drop ten pounds or so.  My doctor says “Walk”.  And I should probably do that.  It’s finally cooled down enough so one could walk comfortably…if one wanted to.

But I thought it might be more fun to have some kind of equipment to work out with.  Never mind that I already have a weight machine and an electric treadmill.  Buried somewhere under all the other stuff I store in the spare bedroom.

So I start cyber surfing and the first thing I find…

 The Face Trainer

OK.  I’m getting a wrinkle here and line there. Maybe even a little sag somewhere.  This could work.

facetrainer-1

You are supposed to put on this contraption and for ten minutes do a variety of exercises.  It’s resistance training at its best.

facetrainer-3

The Face Trainer fits firmly against the skin to provide resistance and helps muscles build and tone all 44 bilaterally symmetrical muscles of the face and neck.  So says its promos.

Uh.  Somehow I think I could do these exercises without the Freddie Kruger mask.

Then I read that the Face Trainer was made by the same company that gave us the No!No!  YesYes!  That permanent hair remover thingy that doesn’t work very well.

But to be fair folks, the Face Trainer is the only FDA registered product of its kind.  Go figure. And, 42 % of participants in a clinical trial reported a reduction in both fine and course lines.  A whopping 71 % of users saw a reduction in sagging.  And 91 % of participants said they would recommend the product to a friend.  Probably so they could laugh at them while they use it.

OK.  That wasn’t going to work. So continuing to surf I found this nifty little product.

The Free Flexor

freeflexor-1

The information about this gadget says, “As one of the most dynamic fitness products available, the Free Flexor places over 20 workouts in the palm of your hand.”  Palm of your hand?  Uh huh…

free flexor-2

And it has its own Facebook page.

www.facebook.com/pages/Free-Flexor/153279838062514?sk=timeline

Oh.  How about this devise…

The Tug Toner

It has a Facebook page too… www.facebook.com/tugtoner/timeline

Tug Toner -2

I…just…don’t…have…words…

Tug-Toner

But you can work out with a friend…

Just a guess.  But I’m thinking those guys didn’t get to look like that by using these products.

I know these guys didn’t get to look like this by using the Tug Toner…
