Then what is it?????

I use to pass this store frequently, perplexed by the words on the door. To me they were an oxymoron. What is a door if not an entrance or an exit?

Even more mystifying, the picture is taken from outside, so the name is inside. I'm thinking if you are inside, shouldn't you know where you are already? Oh and having the hours on the outside might also be helpful!

Let me tell you how much money I saved!

 Just returned from the kitchen and made myself a heated sandwich. No, I didn't save a bundle on a pannini maker at a Grey Thursday or Black Friday Sale.

Wrong again! I did not order the sandwich maker from the comfort of my own couch from those enticing TV commercials.

Nope, I did not use a fancy contraption as pictured above.
I made the sandwich in something known as a frying pan. Remember them? When I was a kid that's how we made grilled cheese. And frankly, you can use them still to make any sort of hot sandwich and save yourself a bundle!
I didn't even use a fancy contraption as pictured above.

Spam-a lot

Who knew there was a tremendous market for luncheon meats? Cans galore and a plethora of varieties! Less sodium, jalapeno, turkey, spicy, beef, pork, hickory smoked, Teriyaki and the list goes on... The idea of eating meat from a can is extremely unappetizing for me and maybe you as well.
No flavor could ever entice me. But in the interest of full disclosure, most foods I eat do not emanate from a can they are usually fresh. Other extremely canned items are potatoes, zucchini, carrots...
I'm guessing if Armageddon comes I'm in big trouble!

Proof reading, a dead art.

I removed the following line from a police blotter, omitting the town in which it occurred. I would venture a guess that this was not reviewed by the author or an editor prior to publication.
"A man awoke early Tuesday morning to use the bathroom, only to find a burglar ruffling through his wife's purse, police said."
Then I thought to myself, ruffling usually refers to feathers as in making someone annoyed. Of course there are ruffles, like on a frilly dress or potato chips.
Ah is the word rifling? As in:

1. To search with intent to steal.

2. To ransack or plunder; pillage.

3. To rob.

Seeing is believing...

This amazing art was displayed at a well known museum.

These stunning pictures are also from the same artist.
Personally, I find the work stunning and of course it goes with any motif. There is no need to stand there wondering: "Will this clash with my couch?" "Does it match the bedroom drapes?" "How would it look on my walls?"
And if you still are not sure it will work in your home you can easily demonstrate how if will look in your abode. Follow my directions closely for best results. First, take a piece of copy paper. Second hold it up to your wall. Next decide if it works with your decor. Good luck!
Purchasing these pictures for your home can take all the guess work out of decorating. 

My apartment is 3Y...

                   As In Why.....


At work I have received many ridiculous messages. One of my offices all time favorites from a man in apartment 3Y. He left me a message to call him back and that his apartment was 3Y as in Why Not? I wanted to call him back and inform him that Why starts with a "W". But I think it's funnier to allow him to continue thinking Why starts with a "Y".

Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero...

That's the whole quote. The last line of a poem by Horace. Don't worry I'm only concerned about the first two words, Carpe Diem, loosely translated to Seize the Day. You didn't have to take Latin to know what it means, you could have just seen Dead Poet's Society where Mr. Keating teaches them to throw out the old and live for the moment. Pretty simple except for someone who recently stated in my class on films it's "Cease the day". Hhhmmm, cease the day, stop the day? Does that make sense???  Especially since we are watching Dead Poet's Society in the class. Did it really look like Robin Williams was stopping the day? OK well maybe stopping the learning of the day, but the day it's self no he was teaching them how to embrace life and live for the moment. What truly scares me is the person that used the word cease is a teacher and I'm afraid for our youth.
