Blog Fest: My Top 10 Television Shows

Sunday, October 24, 2010

Today I am participating in Alex’s Blog Fest where I am to note my “Top 10 Television Shows.” Now me being a Baby Boomer I grew up when 3 channels were all you had to chose from and you watched real entertainment.

I have never been one to just sit and watch television though. As a kid I would rather be outside playing and this continued up into my forties. Now there just is not a lot of great television to watch, thank goodness for PBS. So here is my list.

Just The Facts Jack

Saturday, September 11, 2010


No story today, just the facts Jack. Oh yes, I have facts to share.

Fact one; I was not even going to post today. Saturday is becoming a busy day for me with Ms Twister home. Joy, Joy.
Fact Two; my house looks like a bomb went off in it. I need to get more in-tune with my surroundings.
Fact Three; the gate needs some repairing. I need to bolt a wheel on and install the automatic lock. I want to reconnect with my tools.
Fact Four; I must install the pedestal sink I purchased on the World’s Longest Yard sale. It does not look as good on the floor and again, reconnect with my tools.
Fact Five; I must rake the ever-falling leaves. I need to get in touch with the great outdoors and those muscles I haven’t seen since this time last year.
Fact Six; I must go help my father at his apartments. I want to try on my new biohazard suit. Nasty tenant moved out, left all sorts of weird things.
Fact Seven; I must play ball with the furry friends. With the summer we have had this was not an option and besides I want them to recognize whom they are about to spend the winter with.
Fact Eight; I must get out of this funk and grow up. Well, maybe just get out of the funk. I still want to go down a slide with Yvonne.
Fact Nine; I must dig deep in the freezer, select some frozen treat for dinner and then dream all day of turning it into a master piece. Can you cook an abstract dinner?
Fact Ten; I must take time for me. I need to refuel, rejuvenate, dream and change my oil. Dang, I sound like a want-ad. Anybody in need of slightly used, older model car?

There you have the facts for my day.

You guys have a wonderful Saturday. Peace…

Awards; Again?

Thursday, September 9, 2010

Yesterday was my BON day and I gave you a few more tid-bits about myself, whew that hurt. Now today I have a few new followers and I wish to welcome them to the journey. Your company will help ward off any evil we may encounter, safety in numbers you know.

Today I have decided to go ahead and let go of two more awards. I do not want to hold on to these because my memory of what, who, when and where is starting to play games with me. Up front though, I need to add a disclaimer here about my comments.

Kentucky: Fact and Fiction

Sunday, March 28, 2010

In the last two days I have read numerous negative articles written about my home state of Kentucky. Today I wish to provide you with a list of facts and fictions about the bluegrass state and its inhabitants. This way when you read a slanted article about our state and its peoples you can have a true sense of fact and fiction.

Fiction: We do not marry our relatives. We reserved that right to the state of Tennessee many years ago. Neither are we bare foot and pregnant. The statistic is skewed due to number of illegal aliens in our state. Shirts and shoes have been required here for many years; however, pants have always been optional.

Mother Nature: The Sun Is Shining

Saturday, March 6, 2010

Ah, the joy and agony of what spring has to bring for us. I do not know about you, but where I am for the first time in a month the sun is shining. It arose in an array of beautiful colors, the sky then became crystal clear blue and for once I did not need to wrap a blanket around me to get to my robe. Just looking out the window and seeing this sky gives my heart a ray of hope brighter days are coming.

It has been a long, hard winter for most of us Americans and warm, bright, sunny days are just what the doctor ordered. It brings out the hidden smiles we have been storing up all winter, makes us feel happy, and in general just changes our outlook on the day. Spring does have its challenges though and best we not forget; “in like a lamb, out like a lion.” Mother Nature tends to remind us in every season who really is the boss.

Top Ten Reasons Why I Do Not Watch Reality TV

Friday, February 5, 2010

It is all the craze; everyone is watching, talking about, scheduling around, their favorite reality show. We have all sorts of reality on television now, on about every subject imaginable and still I ask, "What is it with these shows?" I guess I am truly missing the point, I can not find the point. Here I provide a list of reasons why I do not watch reality TV.

  1. I do not care how bad you dress. Your a grown up, deal with it. Can you not tell that does not match? Get a mirror.
  2. Why would I watch someone exercise to lose weight when I am at home, sitting on the couch, eating candy. Makes me feel bad.
  3. I do not care how many kids you have, nor do I care that they are brats and need intervention. Just give me a litter of puppies.
  4. Do I really care what type of house your buying and where? Well, I'm not a thief, so I think not.
  5. Logging is a job. Now, I am unemployed but this would not be my first choice in a career change.
  6. Dating is not a sport, therefore, I do not want to watch.
  7. My house is not clean and it's not on television. Thank goodness!
  8. Makeovers, I have seen Joan Rivers, need I say more and don't get me started on "The Donald."
  9. Cops and bounty hunters, fine line. Combine these two and then I'd only have one show to dodge. Besides I know several cops, they are not that entertaining. Unless they are drunk and trying to help get your keys out of your car.
  10. And finally...watching people sing off key and not able to carry a tune hurts my dogs ears. This could cause PETA to come after me; no thanks.
I hope my reasoning makes sense. Simply put; entertain me.

Top Ten Phone Call Peeves

Friday, January 22, 2010

Blogging has become an addiction for me; everything I see or do is now a potential topic. Today is no different in that I have already seen or heard several things to blog about. The topic that keeps popping to mind are my top ten peeves about phone etiquette.

There are people out in this world that make way too many assumptions about what you really had planned for your day. That a two hour phone conversation would be well within your schedule. After all, you are unemployed and have nothing to do but talk on the phone. WRONG!

I have created my current top ten list of things I hate about some phone calls. This list is meant as an educational tool, a guide if you will; to think about the next time you pick up the phone to call someone.

Top ten pet peeves about phone calls:

  1. When I say I'm not doing anything it is a metaphor, I really have stuff to do.
  2. When I say I have to go, this is not a 30 minute count down.
  3. No I am not watching the same TV channel and no I did not nor do I want to see that.
  4. Speaker phones were not invented so I can hear the bar band.
  5. If you called me and have to take another two hour call; say goodbye.
  6. I can not see things over the phone, Skype me.
  7. Just like your mouth, cover the receiver when you cough, hack or make other unconditional responses.
  8. If you are my city; yes the weather, time and amount of day light are the same.
  9. Please tell me, you do know the difference between the remote and the phone. and finally.....
  10. I can hear your preforming rude bodily functions. (hit the mute button)
I hope this small list clears up any confusion about what the other person is going through when you place a call. I realize it is important to stay connected but my hair realizes the same thing; at times I just want to pull it out. Feel free to post any additional pet peeves you may have.

Remember, find the partly sunny side of your day.
