Granted, you don't need to put 27 pounds of toothpaste on your brush, like they do on TV - the packaging actually says to use a "pea size" amount of toothpaste, but I guess the admen figure if you see a huge glob of toothpaste on the brush on TV, that's what your suppose to do. That way, you'll use up more toothpaste and then need to buy more. It's all in the marketing. If you've just got plain jacked up teeth...well, I can understand that.

They existed before the cel phone was invented), waiting my turn when this car comes to a stop across the street. This guy gets out, runs across the street, hands me a flower and says, "You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen." He runs back across the street, jumps back into the car and drives away. I never saw him again, and have no idea who he was. Wow.

My dad gave me a Rolex when I went overseas for the war, and we've accumulated a few others since. Brightling, Omega, Doxa. On the first of each month, we change watches so the other watches don't feel left out. Besides, why own great stuff if you're not going to use it, be it watches, china, clothes?

Especially telling are the two paragraphs that respond to VP Biden's declaration that the country is going in the right direction:<br /><br />"But what direction is that? Indicators that should be down are up, and those that should be up are down. The administration claims to have "saved" 3 million jobs, but this argument is losing traction as new claims for unemployment benefits continue to rise. Almost one in five American adults is either unemployed, underemployed or has lost hope. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth has declined since the end of 2009, and Friday's downward revision of second-quarter growth shows an economy on life support. New-home sales have fallen to the lowest pace on record, and despite historically low mortgage rates, prospective homebuyers lack enough confidence in the future to make long-term commitments. Meanwhile, more people are losing their home,s and Mr. Obama's plan to mitigate foreclosure has bogged down in red tape and administrative waste.<br /><br />Since the "recovery summer" campaign kickoff, the stock market has declined, Treasury bond yields have tanked, the trade deficit has increased, manufacturing is down, non-farm productivity is down, durable goods orders are performing below expectations, the dollar is weaker, and retail sales have flatlined.

He just came down stairs, after having shaved off the majority of his beard. When I first met him, he had a beard, so that's how I always picture him. That's the guy I fell in love with...that face. I still love him with all my heart, but it's someone else...some other face looking at me, even though it's the same voice, same eyes. It takes a little getting use to...Cherry Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15945593014136106248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007267468390269442.post-37961225822579016352010-08-07T11:42:00.001-04:002010-08-07T11:43:38.513-04:00My method of gardeningDig a small hole.<br />Deposit plant in hole.<br />Push dirt/mulch back around plant.<br />Water.<br />Hope it grows.Cherry Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15945593014136106248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007267468390269442.post-42374810235487630292010-08-05T11:08:00.002-04:002010-08-05T11:17:52.205-04:00Material Girlhttp://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2010/08/04/2010-08-04_material_girl_michelle_obama_is_a_modernday_marie_antoinette_on_a_glitzy_spanish.html<br /><br />Our First Lady...I agree with the above article when the author says: "It's the extravagance of Michelle <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama's</span> trip and glitzy destination contrasted with President <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama's</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">demonization</span> of the rich that smacks of hypocrisy and perpetuates a disconnect between the country and its leaders."<br /><br />I, however, see it as a stretch in calling the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama's</span> our "leaders". This current administration is more dictatorship than leaders. What has become of our great country? When will it change? When will the "sleeping giant" truly awaken and go stomping across the country and make some real change?

I've also got a bunch of smaller lotion bottles, all different smells (peppermint, pumpkin, cranberry). How bad would it be if I mixed all the little bottles into the big bottle? I mean, it's all lotion, right?Cherry Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15945593014136106248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007267468390269442.post-23565451796276452812010-08-03T13:26:00.006-04:002010-08-03T13:35:50.545-04:00ObamaCare(less)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5MuRNYHexRQsCKcihpZ90CgXp9CvG5Iujneq_7GT9DDgk_xFIwIi4eFPDhjNDBi32TP4aEG7U37CFZl-R0Z_66VTGpE0Yn4kMtzvH8TRvgE6cvlEhCMxX4fKj-D4BxmrjBFeSuIROGYQ/s1600/obama_chart.jpeg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 249px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501238127887728466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5MuRNYHexRQsCKcihpZ90CgXp9CvG5Iujneq_7GT9DDgk_xFIwIi4eFPDhjNDBi32TP4aEG7U37CFZl-R0Z_66VTGpE0Yn4kMtzvH8TRvgE6cvlEhCMxX4fKj-D4BxmrjBFeSuIROGYQ/s320/obama_chart.jpeg" /></a><br />http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/tx08_brady/pr_100728_hc_chart.html<br /><br />"AMERICA'S NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM REVEALED<br />UPDATED CHART SHOWS OBAMACARE'S BEWILDERING COMPLEXITY<br /><br />Washington, D.C. - Four months after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously declared "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it, "a congressional panel has released the first chart illustrating the 2,801 page health care law President Obama signed into law in March." And, boy, is it a mess! The first thing that came to my mind was, "You've got to be KIDDING". The second though was, "We're sooooooooooooooooooooooo screwed."<br /><br />In addition to the above, the article also says, "In addition to capturing the massive expansion of government and the overwhelming complexity of new regulations and taxes, the chart portrays:<br /><br />$569 billion in higher taxes;<br />$529 billion in cuts to Medicare;<br />swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;<br />17 major insurance mandates; and<br />the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.<br /><br />Brady admits committee analysts could not fit the entire health care bill on one chart. "This portrays only about one-third of the complexity of the final bill. It’s actually worse than this."<br /><br />I feel so sick to my stomach...but there's little chance I'll be heading to the doctor's any time soon...Cherry Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15945593014136106248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007267468390269442.post-68938158166157500132010-08-02T17:36:00.001-04:002010-08-02T17:37:44.530-04:00If I could'veDone things differently 30 years ago, I would have 1) bought gold, 2) never gotten married 3 times, and 3) I would have had the hair on my legs lasered off.
