Chemtrails - Conspiracy or Fact?

I never knew there was a term for this. I knew sometimes certain "contrails" lasted too long or there were too many in the sky at one time here in southern Orange County. However, after reading some info., I believe there may be more fact than conspiracy on this one. What are your thoughts?

Why I like going to Harrah's (casinos in general)

ebay Addict

It's official. I am an ebay selling addict. I started getting ads from ebay saying how easy it is to sell about 4 months ago. They threw in all sorts of the word "free" and that's what got my attention. "Free" is the best 4 letter word in the English language. Their ads came at a great time. My neighbor across the street died at age 93 a couple of years ago. Her children gave me all sorts of her wonderful items that they didn't want or want to store. Everything I got is vintage/antique. Beautiful stuff, all of it. However, the husband didn't want all of the "old junk" taking up space. I agreed to sell SOME of it on ebay. I did my homework, got some advice and jumped on the ebay selling bandwagon. Let me tell you, it's addicting. It's a lot of fun to watch how fast you can sell something or how many people are watching your item. Getting positive feedback is also a good ego booster. However, I think ebay is getting a bit pricey with all the little fees they charge. You gotta be careful and read their very fine print rules and regulations.

Christmas/Shirley Temple/Casinos

Christmas has come and is on its way out. As I sit and write at 9:40pm, Christmas 2010 has been successful. Successful in meaning that major $ for presents or food weren't spent. And yet the outcome was just as happy as if we spent major bucks. We aren't the crazy gift giving fiends that will give whatever to whoever just to make them happy. I know people who are like that and their credit card companies love them.


I don't mean successful in being happy with the gifts received and given. I mean in a more human level. I can reflect back on previous Christmases when the boys were little and Santa *really* did come down the chimney and leave sooty boots prints on the carpet. At least, Santa did that for a few years. For several years, Christmas morning meant waking up at 6am with the boys yelling that Santa had come. No amount of begging to make them go back to sleep for a few hours worked.

I remember as a 9 year old girl (brat) that got 3 Shirley Temple dolls for one Christmas. I was so upset I spent the rest of my Christmas in my room crying. I thought for sure I was being punished. I hated Shirley Temple - she still annoys me. It would have been helpful if my grandmothers and aunt had somehow communicated to let each other know they were going to buy that hideous doll. But, no and that's how I ended up with 3. I don't recall what happened to those dolls. But, I wish I had them now. They're worth a small fortune (damn!).

The early Christmases of marriage were more romantic and suspenseful. Today, the husband was very happy with his new 7 page-at-a-time paper shredder. The longer you stay together, gifts seem to become less important and given with reason of necessity. I got a new laptop a few weeks ago for my gift. We spend a lot of time going out to casinos for fun as a couple. We did that a few days ago; part of my present was breaking even. You can win two ways at a casino. One, you actually leave with more money than you entered with and two, you break even. I'm happy when either of those occur.
 Peace.

Welcome to my first blog.

It's the day before Christmas and I'm ready for it to be over. I'm done with baking cookies for neighbors, online shopping and Christmas commercials. Speaking of Christmas commercials, the ones the annoy me the most are from Hyundai. Pomplamoose's Hyundai commercials really are annoying. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about her voice/smile that grates on me. I hope this is the last season Hyundai uses them.
