Bullshit

Buyer’s Regret

I’ve been having camera anxiety this past week.  I have a Canon 5D Mark II, which is a heavy professional digital camera.  I took professional photos for a while, that I got paid for and needed a great camera.  It was expensive, with very costly lenses. Not too long ago, a newer technology came around.  ...

Peanut Butter and Toast Addiction

I smell the peanut butter’s thick scent.  It is in the cabinet waiting for me to open its jar and spread it over the hot toasted bread.  I can feel the crunch of the edges of toast between my teeth.  All I have to do is get up and throw the bread into the toaster ...

Commitment

It is now into the second month of the year, as I am writing this.  Way past the time to start a New Year’s resolution.  I really was thinking about it for all of January.  Does thinking and planning count – without really doing?  One of the things on my list was to start a ...

The CES Show Report

I was so excited to go to the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas.  I had wanted to go to this for years, since I love my gadgets.  I was drooling over the thought of actually being the first to see and handle brand new items that weren’t even in the market yet.  I could ...

Credit Card Withdrawal

How does one stop spending money?  Don’t throw a line at me that you can’t spend what you don’t have.  It isn’t true, you can spend on credit cards.  I’ve gotten myself in trouble so many times with money.  Through the years I’ve managed in one way or another (don’t ask) to pay off my ...

Samsung Galaxy Note II

If you’ve kept up with my previous posts on the Iphone, you’ll know that I was disappointed with it.  I ended up buying the Samsung Galaxy Note II and returning the Iphone 5.  I am extremely happy with it.  I don’t know what previous salespeople at AT&T and others were talking about when they cautioned ...

Coach Handbags – a Word of Caution

I am a handbag connoisseur if that is what you can call it, but at least a collector.  I don’t know how many bags I’ve had over my lifetime, but right now in my closet I’m sure I have at least 50.  It is hard, because everywhere you go women are carrying them and there ...

Iphone 5 is Singing the Blues

If you remember from my previous post about the Iphone 5, I talked myself into buying it, even though I had to buy the full price.  I am now facing buyer’s regret.  Yes, it works and is fast.  There is nothing wrong with it.  But, other than it being slightly longer, I don’t see anything ...

Falling Asleep on the Toilet

Did you ever get so tired that you fell asleep on the toilet?  Don’t tell anyone I told you this, since it is really embarrassing, but I did do it.  You would think that I would fall down and hit my head, but I stayed upright.  I have a cabinet in the back where your ...

Oreo’s 100th Birthday

This year is the 100th Birthday of the Oreo.  I was not aware of this fact until I read about it in the New York Times.  They were doing an article about it because of the unique advertising campaign, which has a different ad for the Oreo every day for 100 days.  The ads seemed ...

How to stop feeling bitchy

It could happen in the middle of the day or anytime. Some people are probably like this all the time, a true bitch. I can physically feel it taking over my body. It twists your mouth down at the corners. Your shoulders slump. You don’t really want to get up off that chair, because if ...

Iphone Depression

I had this sudden sadness settle over me this past Friday.  It was the Iphone itch.  I’m not talking about having to scratch yourself with your Iphone.  I mean wanting the new one every time they come out.  For months leading up to the actual release date of this new shining product, everywhere you look ...

The Trim Finger

I know that sometimes the world seems to be crashing in around us, people are killing each other over a movie, movie screenings are bringing out killers and a lot of people don’t even have enough money right now to buy a nail clipper. But (and you just knew that was coming) my fingernails are ...

The Catfish are Frying in Texas

As I said in previous post, I was in Dallas last week.  The others in our group (from near Dallas) suggested Catfish Cove for dinner.  Not being a well-rounded person when it comes to food, I checked out the website for this restaurant, thinking it was a mainly fish place.  I started reading the menu ...

What is West Nile Virus?

Should I be sleeping in a netting surrounding my bed at night?  This and other questions that I never thought I’d be asking have come up in the past few days when I had to fly to Dallas on business.  I thought this West Nile flood of mosquitos in Texas was more hype to get ...

Macbook Pro 15″ Retina Display Revisited

So I’ve been using this Mac since I got it and sold my Mac Pro.  I love it except for the few small glitches (which I’ve mentioned in a previous post).  But, and it is a pretty big but, the keyboard is driving me crazy.  It is fine to type on but and here is ...

Louis CK

I went to see Louis CK last night in Atlantic City, NJ.  It was in the Trump Taj Mahal Casino.  I really like him as a comedian and I went for my birthday.  It was in a large hall for about 4,000 people and we were in the nose bleed section.  You would normally think ...

Guns, Abortion and Atheism

Three huge topics widely in the news these recent days.  All of these topics usually divide people to one side or the other and most people will avoid discussing them with people they don’t know in order not to get in a fight.  I turned on the news today, I happened to be tuned into ...

Apple MacBook Pro

It is so quiet, you cannot tell it is running, just like one of those electric cars.  And let me tell you, if  you have any problems with your eyes, this is the way to  go.  It is extremely clear.  I also have the Ipad 3, which I use all the time, but since I ...
