"This Trick Turns Women Utterly Under Your Control", Too Much Cheese Is Not a Bad Thing, And No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

Hi and welcome,

I received a spam e-mail that stated:
"This trick turns women utterly under your control - and both of us know that chicks love to think they're in control, so the trick I'm about to share can NEVER EVER be shown to any girl you aren't using it on." A video followed which explained the trick.

What?
We chicks love to think we're in control but are too DUMB to know when we're really not in control.
Did I let the cat out of the bag about the trick?

Here is a photo taken at Richland College. It is being added for no other reason than I like it.

There were three packages of "Happy Farms" Muenster Cheese in the refrigerator today. How much cheese can one household eat?

A separate topic:
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Do not forget this.

Thank you for reading.

Tom Thumb Mishap and "Sidewalk Social Scientist, Don't Get No Satisfaction From Your Cigarette"

Hiya!

The great cake mishap.

I visited Tom Thumb recently. It was in the evening, about 6:30 p.m.
It was my mom's birthday, and I very much wanted someone to write on the cake. Pretty much I wanted a standard Happy Birthday message.
Nobody was in the bakery area (that's acceptable, in the evening).

I went to the Deli and asked for someone who could write on a cake. The Deli employee called for assistance.
A few minutes passed, and no one came. It was long enough for me to start wondering, "where is everybody?"
Afterward, I went to the Deli once again and asked a different employee if anyone was even in the store who could write on the cake.
The short story: this employee came over to the bakery area. For some reason, he gave us the supplies, and a relative of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous, and I wrote on the cake ourselves. Who knew we could do it. I have never decorated a cake.
Here it is.

As we were walking away, a manager (I think!) who had been paged earlier, came over.
"Do you guys need some help?"
I said, "We did!" Then added, "We did it ourselves!"


A lyric from the song "11:59" by Blondie. I thought she was saying, "Sidewalk Social Scientist Don't Get No Satisfaction," however, she is actually saying:

"Sidewalk Social Scientist
Don't Get No Satisfaction From Your Cigarette"

I am including it because I like how Blondie philosophizes (By Blondie I mean Deborah Harry--even though the whole band is Blondie).
Even though she is not saying what I thought she said.

Here is an Obama button from 2008. Can you believe it?

Goodbye. Thank you for reading.

I've Got Moves You've Never Seen

I am re posting a video. It was one of the most popular posts. That is why I am re posting it. Some firefighters in Newport decided to dance to Soulja Boy in front of their fire truck.     



It is definitely one of the more popular posts.

The title is a reference to the movie My Best Friend's Wedding, in which Julia Roberts states, "I've got moves you've never seen!"

The End!

"This S*** Writes Itself" And, A Quote Vital To Your Existence

Hi:
I saw a man at the Labor Day 5k and 15k wearing this shirt.

In case you cannot read it, there is a picture of William Shakespeare with the words "This S*** Writes Itself"
I took the picture against the sun, but I had little choice because I'm not good at directing people to move when I'm taking spontaneous photos.

Before I took the picture, his wife (at least I believe that's who it was) said, "I can't believe he wears it in public." No wife, it's great.

Here is a very useful quote from R. Buckminster Fuller, an architect, inventor, systems theorist, and also an author.

"I look for what needs to be done ... After all, that's how the universe designs itself."

Here he is.


Bye, and The End.

H+M Photo, Man With His Hands In His Pants, And Still Digging Regina Spektor

Hello to all,
Here is a picture of people waiting in line at H+M on tax free weekend.

I also heard someone say to a companion, as they were walking out of the store, "It was almost like being in New York, and shopping there."

While I do like H+M, I fail to see the comparison!

Moving on.
I saw a guy at Richland College, standing around with his hands in his shorts.
I guess he needed a place for his hands. These were gym shorts.
I also guess, that this is the new casual way to stand?

I am still digging Regina Spektor. I have been a fan since 2006.
The tracks, #1 and #3, on the (new) album What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, which are: Small Town Moon, and Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas), are my favorites.

Here are two pictures.

The picture is an image of her first album cover.


Goodbye, and have a good afternoon,

Alice

Also, I heard a song while at Whataburger. The chorus is, "Crazy Women Are Made By Crazy Men." I looked it up, and the song is by LeAnn Rimes.
Isn't she a little bit crazy?

Don't Switch Horses Midstream, Sounding Like A Suburban B****, And Well, Random Photos

This is a photo of the car that was left running at Starbucks:

It is the car nearest the front. A dark SUV.

Here is a wonderful phrase. A relative of mine told me recently. I laughed: "No debes cambiar de caballo a la mitad del rio."
The translation is: Don't Switch Horses Midstream.
Stick to Your Plan.
Don't Give Up.

And, speaking of Starbucks (Here we go again), a "barista" recently called out my drink order while I was there. However, the whipped cream that I already had requested was not there. The short story is that I politely reminded her of the whipped cream. She--maybe in her mid 20s--gave me a dirty look. I realized that when I asked for the whipped cream, I must have sounded like a suburban b****. Which OF course, warrants a dirty look and then being nasty.
(I am not currently living in the suburbs, however, I do have roots).
The partial summation is: Don't Mess With My Whipped Cream.

In total summation, this can be a good thing.

I visited H+M, on tax-free weekend. It was at Northpark Mall. There was actually a long line for the dressing room. C'mon people, it's only H+M !

I tried to take some close-up pictures of accessories. This one is neat, I thought, but also includes the price of the accessories.

And:


Goodbye. Thanks for reading,

I'm Just Going To Grab A Frappuccino, Real Quick

The picture above is from a duathalon recently in Dallas. As you can see, there was free watermelon.

I saw some coffee-goers who left their car running while at Starbucks. I do not like saying "OMG," therefore I will just say... that it is a REALLY bad idea.
The car, a nice SUV, was left by itself for a good 5 minutes. I am still trying to sort through the experience.

Goodbye,

"Our Technicians Pay Taxes Just like You Do." And, Everything Is Like A Story Problem.

Hello and good evening:

Recently I received a mailer from the nail salon Polished.
In the mailer, it states: "Our technicians pay taxes just like you do."
Also, I checked out their web site.
One comment states that their front-of-house staff will be "exclusively speaking English," while another statement says that employees "speak only English in client areas."
I am all for participating in the American economy. However, this sounds like anti-immigrant spouting to me. Are Asian workers who don't speak English not "polished" enough for Polished?
I will continue to go to another salon, where 'Betty,' (this is not her real name), who probably does not pay taxes, will hopefully provide her services.

Also, I was at Chick-Fil-A recently. I requested a small drink, but I really meant medium. When I told the employee this, she gave me the larger drink. I had already paid, so I asked her how much more it was for the medium drink.
It became awkward. She acted like it was no problem to give me the larger drink, and pretended to be surprised that I even asked. Having just come from a physics test (this was like a story problem--isn't everything?) I told her, "You guys are losing money. But if you say it's okay, then that's fine."
Not that it's a bad thing for Chick-Fil-A to lose money right now.

I bought a Jewel CD. It was $5 at Wal-Mart. I was surprised to see it in this bin. But, I was of course glad to get the bargain.

Goodbye.
