Daily Dose of BS June 7

As hot as it was yesterday, thank God for Air Conditioning.  I must admit that the air is on at my house and will be for the next few days.  I do like to be able to fall asleep and not wake up in a pool of sweat.  Yesterdays heat brought out the fun in my kids, sometimes when it is hot we are crabby, at least I am…yesterday my kids set up the sprinkler and a second hose and had it running down the slide, they then made water park tickets and handed them out to the family.  I went to the Schmidt water park for an hour or so, and didn’t spend a dime, and had fun.  Try to keep cool today, and enjoy what you got.

Have you ever been underwhelmed by a store?  I have heard good things about a local business so I thought I would try it out.  I wanted to give my money to a local business rather than a big box store or order online.  I needed a specific part for a specific piece of equipment.  I ordered the part I needed from this local business and was told that it would take 2 business days, I waited 3 days and returned to the store only to be told that it hadn’t come in yet.  Ok, not a biggie (not their fault, shipping can be delayed), I was told that the part would be by Friday, I went back to store on Friday to get part also to pick up something I dropped off to get fixed, the thing I dropped off to be fixed had not been worked on and the part that I ordered didn’t come in.  Talk about ticking a guy off.  As a small business in a small town you would think that service would be king.  I guess not….

One thing that angers me is when people have no regard for your time.  I hate when people are late, when computers are slow and people have no to be me first.  Life is too short to have computers be slow and for you to not take the time to enjoy what is offered to you.  Take in and enjoy the gifts that you have been given.  To touch on the late issue, life is quick and when you keep pushing your meeting especially with loved ones, you are going to miss out on the important things in life

I don’t know about you but I crave information.  I like to know things and like to have access to them at my fingertips.  This is why I love the internet, I love that I can go online from just about anywhere to access the information that I crave, now.  I also do some writing, journaling if you will….blogging and have ideas hit me at the weirdest places.  Up until a few months ago I was at the mercy of writing down my ideas and then emailing them to myself.  This worked out great till I went to my father in laws and the complex where he lives doesn’t have internet, I was able to save the writings on my hard drive, guess what my hard drive crashed and I lost all my stuff.  Enter “The Safe” from LifeLink not only is “The Safe” a portable USB drive that is built to take with you it also offers preformatted easy to fill in forms so you can carry your information with you.  You don’t need to worry about your info falling into the wrong hands either “The Safe” offers a built in security system.  So if you crave information and are like me and want what you want now, check out “The Safe” from LifeLink www.lifelinksafe.com ....

Played in a softball game yesterday evening and I did everything I have been preaching to my kids over the years.  I tried my hardest, I hustled on and off the field, I listened to the coach, I had fun and a smile on my face.  The reason I bring this up is after the game, I felt like an all star.  My kids still look to me as their hero, my daughter asked me for my autograph, everyone of my kids told me I did a good job and one of my sons asked if he could wear my jersey to school today.  I know I didn’t play the best on the team, but I did play to my best ability, and am thankful I was able to get out of bed this morning (a 42 year old overweight body is not built for softball) Did I mention I didn’t even play in the sand…

It is funny this year we were waiting for a warm day…. Yesterday we got that day.  It was actually hot. And what did I do?  I did the American thing, I turned on my air conditioning.  Funny when I was growing up my parents were so cheap about turning it on, now when I go to visit, they both have it on anytime that their heat is not on….in fact my Mom has told me that the heat and air have been on, on the same day.   Yesterday my daughter asked me at about the time that my sweaty head had sweat on my sweat…Dad can we turn on the air.  I said if you close the windows I will turn it on.  She did and so we have the air on….now the house is comfortable, the big question now is when do I turn it off?

I remember when I was a kid and we had a phone in the kitchen, the family room and the basement… that was it.  I finally talked my folks into letting me have one in my room, and remember talking to girlfriends all hours of the night and when my mom and dad would come in to say good night pretend to be sleeping so that I could continue the conversations with my girl.  That also lead to the not hang up game remember that one?  Not being the first to hang up after the conversation….. I think I had one that lasted all night, but my memory is starting to get old.  But the point to my story is that a phone was a privilege to have not a right.  When did having a phone become a right?  I have 4 kids as I have mentioned many times before my oldest is 15 and has a phone, everyone of the kids he hangs with but one has a phone.  My 12 year old does not have one but tells us that all the kids in his school has one…. I call BS.  The way that phones are used by kids now is that they do everything with them but make phone calls.  and if that is the case, why do you even need a phone?
