1. Due to recent circumstances I have found myself watching TV more than I have in years. The causation of course started with my knee replacement surgery and being confined to bed rest for weeks. I started by re-watching episodes of “The West Wing,” and movies, but graduated to reruns of “Sex and the City,” “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory.” So during this time I was inspired by a few television commercials, but none more than by ROBO TWIST!! I’ll be honest, I just have to have it! The device actually twists off hard to open lids. They say it works on any size jar and it’s ideal for seniors, kids and perfect for arthritis sufferers….and weaklings like me. 😉
Seriously, I’m getting it and I’ll report back!
2.You know those commercials where they claim, “These are real people not actors”? I can’t help but wonder if we’re suppose to assume that actors are not real people.
3. I accidentally came upon a program while working on the computer. It kept pulling my attention away and I was getting more irritated by the moment. It turned out to be a program called “Housewives of Orange County.” Now I had heard of these “Housewives” “Reality” shows, but seriously, what a load of crap!!! I am embarrassed for womankind!
4. So why does this society feed into the quasi celebrities that are created by “reality” TV? The whole Kardasian, Housewives of the Orange County, New York, Dallas, or that TV show on MTV show where they all lived together? Is this society THAT bored that these shows are entertaining? Sadly, the answer is yes. These shows continue and become more inane because the numbers show enough people watch that they can charge money for advertising. That’s all fine and good, because I don’t have to watch them; but when these “celebs” start showing up in news feeds, or on the cover of magazines, that’s when I get really annoyed.
5. As much as I love having people taking advantage of the hiking trail up above City Hall (called the Botanical Gardens), I’m sad to report I have not seen any deer since they opened it a couple of years ago. It was amazing to have deer pass by while shooting hoops.
6. Did I mention I’ve been lifting weights? I can’t believe how quickly one loses their muscles when you don’t use them for a while. Sure I started with curling 5 lbs, but I’m proud to say I’m up to 7.5 now!
7. For Father’s Day this year I decided to surprise my dad and go out to breakfast and attend Church with him that morning. He was super jazzed. What I took away from our outing, and to be honest, it’s a little unnerving, was this item on the menu at Denny’s. If I get below 115, I’m trying the Maple Bacon Sundae!!
8. Call me naive, but I didn’t even know this was a thing:
“I quit my job to breastfeed my boyfriend every two hours.”
Here’s the story in the NY Post online.
9. THANK GOD! Somebody finally was bold enough to reveal what the Gay Agenda really is:

Thanks for listening!
A Couple of Things... 
Always an entertaining read, Pam. My only comment would be that the Robo-twist commercial needs a minor edit or reworking: It is certainly convincing in the abilities of the product, but it begs the question as to why anyone would want to open that “bad” jar of gravy.
I’ll give you that Steve! I promise no rancid jars of gravy for me!!
