Remember?

Do YOU Remember?

Hide-and-Go Seek
The ice cream man
Red light, Green light
Chocolate milk
Penny candy
Hopscotch
Double Dutch
Jacks
Kick Ball
Dodge Ball
Mother May I?
Hula Hoops
Sunflower Seeds
Jolly Ranchers
Blow Pops
Mary Janes
Grape and Watermelon Now-Laters
Alexander the Grape
Lemonheads
When nobody owned a purebred dog.
When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a huge bonus.
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.
When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.
Running through the sprinkler
Catching lightening bugs in a jar
Sling shots
Bedtime
Climbing trees
A million mosquito bites
Sticky fingers
Cops and Robbers
Cowboys and Indians
Jumping down the steps
Jumping on the bed
Being tickled
Running until you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from playing
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up.
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.
When you wore nylons that came in two pieces.
When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done, everyday.


Time flies......

Have a great one....

We have to learn to be our own best friends
because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.
~Roderick Thorp


If you don't like something change it;
if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.
~Mary Engelbreit


The difference between try and triumph is a little umph.
~Author Unknown


If we all did the things we are capable of doing,
we would literally astound ourselves.
~Thomas Alva Edison


Have a good one......

You KNOW You're a REAL Bargain Hunter if......

Saturday, February 28, 2009

You KNOW You're a REAL Bargain Hunter if......

.....if you buy your Christmas decorations in January and your calendars in February.

....if you ended up with a crew cut because you asked the hairstylist for "half off" ---- and she didn't quite get what you meant.

.....the thief who broke into your home made off with $18 in cash and $700 in coupons.

.....you can't believe it when Wheel of Fortune contestants buy a vowel without first asking Pat Sajak, "Can you do a little better on the price?"

.....used-car dealers find you too intimidating!

...every time someone asks you for your two cents, you counteroffer.

...the 99-cent store sends you a get-well card if you haven't stopped by in a week.

...eBay is your homepage.

...someone says she's sending you her love, and you ask if she got free shipping.

...your favorite "holiday" is Black Friday.

...you carry a calculator in your handbag.

...someone asks, "A penny for your thoughts?" and you try to bid them up to a quarter.

...you've bought something at your own garage sale. (It was too good of a deal to pass up!)

...your phone's speed-dial buttons are set to 911, HSN and QVC --- and not necessarily in that order.

...the manager of the all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant turns off the lights when she sees you (and family) coming!
