I make hundreds of notes a week……ideas for posts or just stuff that makes one ask…WTF? And from time to time I post some of these thoughts that were not lucky enough to make it into a separate post…..feel free to comment on my thoughts…..
1–Is it too much to ask the a cable channel called the History Channel actually have historic programing?
2–Lohan to play Liz Taylor in a TV movie….I would rather see Lassie because at least Lassie was talented.
3–How many Americans actually believe that one can get 6 pack abs from a pill?
4–Why do adults want pajamas with feet?
5–Is it just me or does “reverse mortgage” sound like a scam?
6–Why would adults need gummi vitamins?
7–Product called “I Cannot Believe It’s Not Butter”…..I tried it….and I CAN believe it is NOT butter!
8–When did poker become a sport?
9–I do not understand a sport where you go fast and turn left.
10-Finally, I hate blind consumerism and the media for driving it….with that said I will give credit where credit is due….a clever piece of marketing…..”I take a sheet in the morning”, a guy says will standing in a bathroom…..the product is energy sheets that melt in one’s mouth….very clever!
There they are….a few thoughts that have stuck in my brain…in between the political stuff and the economic stuff…..had to get them out to make more room for more STUFF!
No, no, no my friend. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter… can’t. And the History Channel rocks. Yeah, I agree with the rest. I think.
Kendrick, so nice to see you again……about the only History that the channel has now is Ax Men….why? They are destroying old growth forest and that is historic…….
All questions worthy of an answer, but are yet unfathomable.
Hansi……my fav is To Take A Sheet! excellent piece of marketing!
Actually “reverse mortgages” are legit and are insured and regulated by the FHA. Of course that means that Tea Partiers will avoid them like the plague.
Child products like gummi vitamins and footed pajamas that appeal to adults simply says they are chronologically adults only.
“When did poker become a sport?”
When 24-7 sports channels found a need to find activity to fill air time.
Larry, I still do not see the benefit of the mortgage and when the money runs out who gets the house?
It’s a plan B action . You only do it when you have no other resources and homelessness is staring you in the face.
It also works well with elderly couples well into their golden years and who have no kids to leave their assets to.
I am sorry….but my grandfather always said…”if sounds too good to be true, then it probably is” It sounds like just another bank scam….like the mortgages from 2008…..to me that is….
It’s not a good deal for everyone Dr. Chuq and there are risks that need to be taken into consideration. People shouldn’t go into this with their eyes closed.
On the other hand, it’s not a bad deal for everyone either. Under the right circumstances it can be a life saver for poor elderly people who face catastrophic medical expenses.
Larry, I understand all that…my problem is that seniors might feel that it is their only way out and I just afraid of the abuses that could occur….
That whole pajama with feet thing, I don’t get either. It’s just silly.
Totsymae….so good to see you again….always a pleasure….BTW, I visit your site and love the art…..well done!
1. Yes, just like it’s too much to ask to have music on MTV.
2. I agree.
3. Way too many.
4. Because you can scoot your feet on the floor really fast and shock the bejezus out of your wife. Or something.
5.It is a scam.
6. Delicious and nutritious, I suppose.
7. Because it’s clearly not butter.
8. It didn’t. It never will be.
9. That’s not a sport, that’s an activity to keep rednecks from elections and tea party rallies.
10. Ummm….
And that’s my take. You’re welcome. 😛
Tim, always good to hear from you…..I like the foot scooting thing…..thanx……
