Musings...

1, I'm willing to guess that people who've had a cancer scare are the most bountiful supporters of cancer research. How do I know this? I stopped by a store last night to pick up a tablecloth for Thanksgiving. Its breast cancer awareness month and this store had an enormous display of pink ribbon items. Socks and Pj's and shirts and keychains and purses. And I bought one of everything . As I'm filling my cart I'm thinking, Wow, I'm just happy to be alive here.

2. We celebrated last night. A late dinner at The Keg. It was incredible and it was my annual serving of red meat. S was amused. He said I eat red meat once a year but when I do, I eat it like a man. Red and Raw. My cheeks are glowing this morning. Amazing what a little iron does for a girl.

3. Corner store instant bank machines were designed by crooks. Of this I am certain. As a thief, you don't need to peer over the shoulder of your victim when they are using the machine, you don't even need to be in view. All you need to be is within audio range of the machine. This particular machine processess your request and as it drops out each 20, it makes a loud noise. I took out $200 and the machine made this 'BLING" noise EVERYTIME it dropped a 20. By the time most of the money was out, I was feeling very uncomfortable. BLING BLING BLING BLING BLING BLING. I felt like I was in Vegas at the slot machines. If thats not bad enough, once all the money is ready it rings a bell to alert you to take your cash. It also alerts the thief that your wad of cash is now ready to be stolen the moment you leave the store and walk to your car.

Hows that for advertising?
