Here's Your Sign

Wouldn't it be nice if we were all smart enough that we didn't need all the warning labels on products these days? Like the hairdryer label that warns you "do not use while bathing"? For those of us who like to get wet and dry at the same time repeatedly!


Seen on the bottom of a Coca-Cola bottle: "Do not open here."

On a bottle of spray paint: "Do not spray in your face."

On a bottle of bathtub cleaner: For best results, start with clean bathtub before use.

On a container of lighter fluid: WARNING: Contents flammable!

On a box of household nails: CAUTION! - Do NOT swallow nails! May cause irritation!

The golf carts on the course I worked at have warning labels saying, "Not for highway use."

I once saw an ad for some type of contest on a candy bar. The wrapper said "No purchase necessary - Details Inside."

Seen on a container of salt:Warning: High in sodium.

On a hose nozzle there was a warning that said: "Do not spray into electrical outlet."

There is also a stroller on the market with the warning, "Remove child before folding."

I saw a car ad depicting cars driving in the water with fins like sharks. At the end of the ad in small letters it read: "Caution, do not drive underwater"

My Life in 1 Song

Lyrics for Song: Good To Go

Lyrics for Album: Jason Aldean

Waitin' at a stop light yesterday

As a funeral procession made its way

Through a field of greenWith white headstones

All in a row

And it made me think about where I'm at

On my not so straight and narrow path

All the generous and mostly undeserved

Blessings that I've had

CHORUS

I had an all-american mom and dad

Some of the coolest friends you could ever have

Found love I thought I'd never find

Sometimes I can't believe this life in mine

And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet

But the truth is you just never know

And if this is as good as it gets

Man, I think I'm good to go

I'm good to go

I said a prayer for the dearly departed

And the loved ones left broken hearted

Then traffic started

And I drove away a little more able

To see the good things on my table

And for that I'm grateful'

Cause I've had my troubles and my trials

I've hit the mark and I've missed by miles

Had days that I've been fightin' mad

But the good times have more than

Outweighted the bad

CHORUS

Got to hold my newborn baby girl

And the hand of a man as he slipped from this world

I've laughed so hard I couldn't stop

Seen the sunrise from a mountain top

And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet

But the truth is you just never know

And if this is as good as it gets

Man, I think I'm good to go

Yeah, I've been thinkin' bout where I'm at

On my not so straight and narrow path

And I wouldn't wanna change nothing about

This roll with the punches life I've had

CHORUS

I had an all-american mom and dad

Some of the coolest friends you could ever have

Found love I thought I'd never find

I can't believe this life in mine

And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet

But the truth is you just never know

And if this is as good as it gets

Man, I think I'm good to go.

You know, lots of times I hear songs I identify with. I know that's the writers intent but there's usually a couple of lines that just don't apply. That's why this one kinda got my attention, when I read the lyrics, there isn't anything that couldn't apply to me so that's why it's here, mostly so I can go back and look at it when I need some inspiration or cheering up.

Illegal Downloading

I saw this cartoon and it reminded me of the commercial that the movie studios have been putting at the beginning of all the DVDs we rent that says something like "You wouldn't steal a car... you wouldn't steal a handbag... you wouldn't steal a cell phone... Downloading pirated films is STEALING!" Then they have the intimidating music playing in the background. I think its kind of strange that the only place I see this commercial is on the DVD's that I PAID to rent! If I was downloading pirated films, I wouldn't be renting them! I think this ad belongs on cable so the people that are stealing cable can see it because they aren't renting movies!

The Mission

Okay, I think this is a little exagerated but still funny and at least partially true! I try to buy the things I need at stores that are not inside the mall and are easy to get in and out of. Simple task, drastically different results!

Skipping out on Work

Gotta love the blonde jokes!!!

There were three women, a Brunette, a Red Head, and a Blonde. They all worked together at an office. Every day they noticed that their boss left work a little early. So one day they met together and decided that today when the boss left, they would all leave early too. The boss left and so did they. The Brunette went home and straight to bed so could get an early start the next morning. The Red Head went home to get in a quick work out before her dinner date. The Blonde went home and walked into the bedroom. She opens the door slowly and saw her husband in bed with her boss, so she shut the door and left.The next day, the Brunette and the Red Head are talking about going home early again. They ask the Blonde if she wants to leave early again."No," she says, "yesterday I nearly got caught!"

We NEED to stop this!

RF ID Chips or Spy-chips

I just learned about this yesterday. Everyone needs to check this website out. I had heard of these chips before but I had no idea that they are already in products that we buy here and use daily. This is beyond scary and it's progressing very fast. I don't like the idea that if I buy a pack of Gillette razors they can be tracked from outside my house, the packaging in my trash, or even in my car at 55mph by scanners. They claim the purpose is to stop theft but I see a much more dismal future if we let this progress any further. I also read that they plan on putting them in Euro banknotes, how long till this great country of ours follows suit. Another way to spy on us? Bush definately will want to get in on that one! Once these are in our cash, the government will be able to track where I spend each dollar that comes into my possession.

That is almost beyond comprehension. They say the chips will be in everything, even a tube of toothpaste! What benefit is there to the govt. or manufacturer being able to track how long it is from when I buy the toothpaste till I throw the tube away? They are planning on putting these in prescription containers and shoes. They will track everywhere we go and whether or not we are taking our prescriptions on schedule! If we don't spread the word, this will creep up on us without our knowledge and then it will be too far along for us to stop. Please pass on this site to everyone you know.
