You gotta double pump

Good Morning & Happy Friday,

You gotta double pump your fist on days like this.

Today is Friday 08/02/V3.4 & you are front page news.

Today is a day off & you know what a day off means? I’m off of doing anything productive after 0800. Because I do EVERYTHING I need to do I do on Thursday’s.

So apparently Rolling Stone has more than double the sales of their July issue from last year. You know why it doubled, cause the media made a big stink about the cover. You know why it doubled, cause CVS, Walgreen’s, 7-Eleven and Stop & Shop refused to sell the magazines. There is nothing more proud then something telling someone they can’t have or do something. Cause they will do it just to be like Forget You!

I am doing something something today, like cleaning my kitchen. Going to vacuum the hallway and bedroom.

Did you know that 2013 is the 25th Anniversary of Coldstone Creamery? I bet you wonder why I bring this up, A. Cause #CSC25 is a GREAT promotion. Yesterday I posted on instagram http://instagram.com/p/cfGEOhniUf/ & you know I show them some love. I like the place and don’t mind sharing that on Social Media. There’s a point (wait for it). I won $10.00 in their #CSC25 promotion.

The word of the day is lam to beat; thrash.

So that’s 226 words, what else can I share with you this morning.

OH, this is another #awesome story. So yesterday I was watching Wipeout on KETV. Bill interrupts the episode, cause you know it was raining and stuff. So at the end of the piece they have a liveshot. Bill says ‘that’s our Backpack Journalist’, like it is something special. Well a few weeks/months ago WOWT was running this ad about how the other stations couldn’t get close cause they didn’t have them. So my favorite reporter mentioned me and told me that I shouldn’t forget about them.

I informed her that they don’t make a big deal about having them. BUT if they do they do, then someone from KPTM chimes in that they have them too. Here’s a graph Now the link isn’t family friendly.

I thought I had a dental appointment today, but Doty didn’t call me yesterday. My appointment is on Friday 09/06/V3.4, this gives me more time.

& on that I shall call this blog entry good.

Apparently in this crazy world we leave in. Defined Contribution Retirement Plans don’t work. For a ‘list of reasons’, I’m waiting for an e-mail of reasons.

NOW I’m not a financial represenantive, retirement planning specialist. But QUICK name a company that has a D.C.R.P. that has went bankrupt or missed a payment.

I’ll wait.

QUICK name a compan6 that has a D.B.P. that has went bankrupt or missed a payment.

I’ll wait.

You’ve done the naming. *******

We will post the e-mail when it is received from an organization that has inspired this section.

YUP, an official voice of the organzation said that.

The word of the day is gopher which is to mine unsystematically.

How was everyone’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday. We would like to know & share your stories.

Could you imagine if this blog didn’t update for two to three years? What would life be like?

Don’t worry, that will not be happening. Vernon J & the team are on it.

Well make it a FaNtAsTiC day!

Hostess’s problem is OUR problem.

USA, WE HAVE A PROBLEM! According to sources @Hostess_snacks is going out of business. Goodbye Twinkies and Wonder Bread: Hostess to go out of business | 7online.com It’s time to stand together for our friends. I’ve never disliked a Union or Strikes more than NOW!

I don’t know what we can do. I don’t have the money to buy and continue the operation. I do have the strength to tell the BCTGM & ALL other associated UNIONS to take a hike.

It is time to Band Together to save a GREAT tradition for the United States of America.

UNACCEPTABLE Behavior

PORTLAND, Ore. – A Portland woman says a grocery store wouldn’t let her pay for her family’s food because she was paying for it with loose change.

“Jean” was too embarrassed to show her face or use her real name, but she wanted people to hear her story.

“We had nothing to feed our children with,” she said. “So we broke out the change.”

Jean said she brought $32 in quarters to Save-a-Lot in Southeast Portland. After she grabbed her groceries, she waited until the checkout line cleared so she could pay.

“And when I went up, I told them, you know ‘I have change. Sorry, it’s hard times right now.’ And they go, ‘well we can only accept $5,'” Jean said.

“It’s money,” she added. “Money’s money.”

For the complete story visit http://www.katu.com/news/local/133019318.html (something about copyright).

A terrible story, what happened to this lady.

Thanks to the Manager of Fred Meyer who was willing to pay for this outta his or her own pocket.

This should NOT have been an issue to start with, but you gotta work on preventative communication.

Can’t See Me

I’m getting reports that a recently released XXVII year old movie can’t hold its on to a movie that was made within the last year.

DUH, Yes the XXVII year -old movie had about 109 more screens.

to sum up

Dear Hollywood,

STOP MESSING with classics, the viewing public is tired of not seeing new stuff.

Any questions?

$16 & 95%

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday.

I won $16.00 at the Omaha YP Event last night.  YEAH! My day was 95% successful, there was an incident at a shop in town.

Today is Wednesday 10/12/V3.2 & it will be a good kind of day.

I have to call II customer service lines for issues today, but if I don’t get someone who can understand English with 100% clarity, I’m going to tweet you. The 1st issue of the day has been taken care of.

I have to make a call today & look though an e-mail to get some things done.

The word of the day is etiology which is any study of causes, causation, or causality, as in philosophy, biology, or physics.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Homestyle, Oven Baked?

Who does McDonald’s, Wendy’s & the other QSR think they’re fooling?

At my home, I’m more inclined to oven bake or grill a chicken breast. Yet they call fried, homestyle.

Just like the beer companies call their Diet Beer other stuff.

You’re not foolin’ this guy.

It started out at zero

Okay, there is a certain product, but water doesn’t have calories.  You don’t need to sell Product – Zero.  Only if you wouldn’t have added the calories.

As this product is part of my retirement plan, I can’t say too much.

But if you wanted to say something about them, I won’t be offended!!!
