Good Morning Everyone, It's Monday In I feel 100 years old today.... We put a New floor down in the house 475 sq feet ... My knee's are paying for it...lol , I'm drinking my old stand by . What's in your cup this AM? I have to run to Big Rapids today ...broke my new glasses the noise piece . Hope they can fix them


The Q for the day................ How many times have you or your kids bought something only to bring it home and break it in a day or so ?

For me ....
I think we do this a lot more then you can count. I bought 1.00 stuff that never worked and got rid of it with in hours after you spent the money to buy it.

              
Have a great day and save your money !!!!

Good Morning Randazzman--

I feel like I am a hundred years old too today.  But its funny, I didnt do anything this weekend.  I am drinking diesel grade coffee with davinci s/f vanilla syrup.  My son lost a screw in his glasses not too long ago so we headed to the mall for a shop.  The lady fixed them for free!  We didnt even buy them there.  I thought it was so nice in this day and age.


The Q of the Day ----  How about get in the car and it gets broken???  Yep, thats the way it works around here.  I no longer buy expensive things for the kids.  They are destructive little buggers for sure.

Have a great day everyone!  Smile like you mean it!

Hello Everyone!
It's Monday, again. Black and decaf are my standard this morning for coffee. 
Get better, Randy!!!
I'm so glad that I'm working at home this week-no travel :-)
Daughter and son-in-law went to Canton's IKEA for their nursery set this Saturday. Took over 5 hours to get there due to the 50 car pile-up in Jackson. Glad they made it back safely.
QOD-I can't count the times we've bought something for the kids and it broke. The last thing was a car for the youngest where we bought it and a month later we had $1500 of repairs.
That bites...
Have a good Monday

Back to the grind this week!  Had a very productive week last week, though, so that's good.  Even though I was dreading getting up at 5AM this morning, it's good to be at work.  I really do love my job, I'm just so tired of getting up at 5am...LOL!  Would it be too much to ask for schools to start at 9?  LOL!  KIDDING! 

I heard about the big pile up in Jackson, on 94.  Luckily the weather kept my bro and his family from coming to my house on Saturday. 

QOTD - I'm sure this has happened but I can't think of any particular incident.  I would expect that to happen with $1 store stuff, which just reminded me of a time I bought my nephew an umbrella from the $1 store(of all things he could've gotten, that's what he wanted).  It broke in the car when he opened it.  My hubby broke one of my book lights the first time I opened it because he forced it open, thinking he was opening it correctly.  DOY!   I'm sure there are some I'm not thinking of.  

Enjoy the day!  Tina

Just finishing up my morning fake latte.  Running late today, so feel like I'm playing catch with everything already.

QOTD -- Bought a MP3 player for my niece for Christmas, I went to load songs for her before I wrapped it.  It was defective and I couldn't get a refund - wasted $25.  Bought a cool face cleansing brush from a beauty consultant company, it never did work, no refunds and too much trouble to exchange - wasted $15.  Stuff like this happens all the time.  I'm starting to be more careful about stuff these days.

That goes to show you as people we all waste thing and if you look at where it was made 99.9% of the time it was a from a country other then the USA. I think this add stress to you in Three ways
1. You put a worker in this country out of work.
2. When it breaks it puts stress on you and most of us EAT....
3. We are filling are land fills with this stuff

Buy thing made here and help yourself to a better life !!!

        Let all save this country we all live in

Happy Monday Everyone,

No diesel in my cup this am, just unleaded.

QOTD: Bring stuff home only to break it?  That's been SOP here.  When my youngest son was 2 years old he insisted on wearing a new little shorts/top outfit we bought the day before.  Usually I made them wear something new when we'd go somewhere, like to grandpa & grammas, or out to dinner, just to break it in.  But he was so insistent, and those little eyes looking up at me, how could I say no?  So I plunked him on the changing table that was right in front of the window, got him dressed, heard him run down the steps, out the back door and watched him as he ran right to the fence up and over it to the neighbor's yard ripping the hell out of the shorts.  Shreds were hanging on the fence.  The whole process took less than 15 seconds. 

When my oldest son was a senior in high school he got a new pair of glasses. A week later he broke a hinge so we took them back to the ophthalmologist to fix.  The week after that he put a pretty good scratch in them, so back we went to have that fixed.  The week after that when he was in gym class he caught a football, turned and ran into the goal post resulting in three stitches and a mangled pair of glasses.  When we left the ophthalmologist's office he turned to him and said, "See you next week."  

Early in my marriage my father gave my husband a good quality drill for his birthday.  The next day he took it apart thinking he could make it run better.  When he put it back together, he had parts left over.  The drill never worked. 

Two weeks after we got new tires on my van I backed into one of those cement stops you find in parking lots to keep you from hitting the car in front of you (I don't know what they're called), but this one was at the post office and had a piece of re-bar sticking out.  Not only did it put a hole in the tire, but it ripped it.  So I called my husband who came and did one of those kneel down by the tire look up at you looks that said "women drivers" and asked me how the hell I did it.  I told him to give me a break, I lost the better part of three night's sleep trying to come up with this.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press
on to your destination.

Randy are you remodeling the whole house yourself?

I had my last morning shake for a couple days.  Tomorrow is the all clear liquids day.  Than surgery the next I hope.

Can't remember all the times I have bought stuff that broke.
