Vacation commercials

I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen any television commercials advertising great travel deals in a while. I think a channel of nothing but special offers and last minute deals would be well received. It would have the ability to show pictures and videos of the destinations. And people love to save money so they’d definitely be tuning in.

Television Shows Set In Las Vegas

Have you ever seen a television show set in Vegas that didn’t have scenes in a casino? My parents have been to Las Vegas and apparently there is gambling everywhere. You’ll find gambling at casinos, at big hotels such as the Stratosphere hotel and in restaurants. You can even find slot machines at the airport! I was amazed that I’d never seen a television show about gambling and casinos but then I learned there was one called The Casino in 2004.

Would Pooh Be The Same Character If He Was Thin?

I love Winnie The Pooh, as does my youngest son. One of our favorite episodes has Pooh getting stuck in the door (hole) of Rabbit’s house. It took several days for him to lose enough weight to get out of the hole. I wonder what kind of character Pooh would have been if he’d been illustrated thinner, given some of the best diet pills as it were. I somehow doubt he’d have been a cheerful.

Energy Drinks And Kids

I’ve noticed a fair amount of kids drinking energy drinks over the past few months. I caught my own son drinking them and explained that they weren’t good for him, nor were they necessary. A couple of days later our local news channel did a segment on how bad they are. My son didn’t believe it because he’d seem the product commercials. I told him much of what is on television is a lie. The television makes them look so appealing that kids want to try them. I wish companies showed a little more concern for children when promoting their products.

What’s In The Crack Of Your Couch Cushions?

I was sitting on the couch this afternoon and I noticed after sitting there for about ten minutes that I’d started to slide into the crack behind the cushions. The couch is old, we got it secondhand from a good friend of mine. It’s gotten so much use that the cushions don’t slide all the way in so they leave a gap. I moved the cushions and found a pen, a couple of coins and a toy racecar. We’ll have to save some money and consider taking a trip to look at some discount furniture. What’s in your couch?

NASCAR commentators

Well the mid-season change has taken place. NASCAR racing is now being broadcast on TNT instead of FOX. I don’t really like all of the stuff that FOX puts on the screen when broadcasting. I’m not the biggest fan of Darrell Waltrip so I’m glad that portion of the season is over. I’m also not a big fan of Kyle Petty so I don’t really like this portion of the season. Put Rusty back in the booth. And Dale Jarrett too.

Movies People Never Tire Of

We all have movies that we never tire of. Some of mine include old Bond movies, Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory and Meet The Parents. Some of RB’s include all of the National Lampoon vacation movies (especially the one where they go on one of those big Vegas vacations),a bunch of awful horror movies and The Mask. Do you have any movies that you choose tow atch even though you’ve seen it a bunch of times already?

A 56″ Slideshow

I have my computer set up to show a slideshow of my pictures when I’m away from my desk. It’s not unusual to find either RB or CJ sitting or standing nearby watching the pictures when I leave my desk. We all enjoy them so much that I’m thinking I’d like to connect my computer to the big screen television in the living room, so we can look at pictures and slidshows and such on there. I believe I can do this with a Linksys router or one of their media center products. Anyone want to come over my house to watch a 56″ slideshow?
