Weather

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

The forecast is calling for strong storms tonight again, that is just not what we need at work tonight. I hate to double bag the papers but if we do not then we get a bunch of complaints and that is worse on me than double bagging. I have to pay someone $5 for every complaint to redeliver them and that at times hurts bad. I hope we get good weather tonight, crossing my fingers.

Shopping bonanza

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I have found a shopping bonanza at eComparison, they have anything and everything you could be looking for on your trip to England, including XL Airways, Green Flag, Vanquis Bank, Resorthoppa, and tickets to Butlins park.

Check out their web site at http://www.ecomparison.co.uk to do all of your travel needs. Butlins is a wonderful park to take the family on vacation.

Harvey Korman

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Another Hollywood legend died this week, brilliant comedian Harvey Korman died this week at 88. I remember the role he had in the great movie Blazing Saddles as well as on the Carol Burnett Show in the sixties. I loved his work with Tim Conway and he will sorely be missed. There are not many with comedic talent of Harvey Korman.

On the move again

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

My gypsy mother is on the move again, she is selling her beach home and moving to New York City to be near her sister. I know she is having fun in her retirement and I am glad she is happy. I know searching for Manhattan real estate can be a nightmare. She will need the very best agent in the city to help her on this journey.

The agent she is using, Prudential Douglas Elliman is New York’s Largest Real Estate Company, and have 60 offices in the New York area. I have faith that they will be able to assist my mother in her new home search. 1 out of every 5 household does business with Prudential and I am happy to have that level of service for my mom.

Food storage

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

With the price of everything rising we have decided to horde a bit of food and water, just in case there is a national emergency. We look at the expiration dates and only store foods that have at least a year shelf life left in them, and we will rotate them as they get close to expiring. I wish we had a stockpile of gasoline that will become the hardest to buy if the price keeps going up. Maybe after the election this fall prices will get back to normal, I hope.
