Golf = Fire

Posted by Janice on September 1, 2010

This morning when I turned on my computer the first thing that I saw and read about was that a golfer in California hit a golf ball into a dry wooded area and struck a rock. That strike caused a spark and a fire brook out. Isn’t that just crazy? It took over 120 fire fighters to get the fire out and all is well now. The golfer’s name is not being published and no charges are being brought on to him.

 Good People at My Pharmacy

Posted by Janice on

I love my pharmacist at my local Food Lion. He has become a good friend and takes good care of me and my family’s prescription needs. Most people are flocking to Walmart and Costco for their prescriptions and Food Lion’s pharmacy is a well keep secret, which makes it easier and faster for me to get all the meds that we all need each month.

When I walk into my Food Lion and I see him in his nice crisp, clean lab coat, he has a variety of nice lab coats that he is obligated to wear while behind the counter, and a smile immediately appears on my face. I stop by to him each time I go there even if I don’t need any prescriptions that day. We spend a few minutes catching up on what is going on with each other’s lives and I always get a hug from him each visit. I love hugs.

Once in a while his wife will be there and we get to chatting up a storm and have a few laughs. She works at the hospital and I usually see her wearing one of her scrub uniforms that have become so trendy these days. They are a great couple and I treasure their friendship. I hope Food Lion knows what a good thing that they have going on back in their pharmacy.

 What team are you on?

My son showed me this clip from The Daily Show. I thought it was wonderful and wanted to share it with you. What team are YOU on?

 What price entertainment

Posted by Janice on August 22, 2010

I can remember when we were first looking at moving into this area of the country.  We had so many questions to ask.  Who do we get phone service from?  Electricity?  Propane?  Cell phone?  Television?  Our house that we bought had an old-style rotating analog antenna on the roof, but it really only got two channels, and they were really bad reception.  I guess the days of free television have gasped their last breath.

I can remember how shocked I was when I was younger when I even learned that television was going the route of pay television.  I thought that advertisers buying commercials was supposed to be enough money for the networks to put on their shows.  When I was about in fourth grade, I can remember our teachers talking about cable television being in the future, and how it was supposed to eliminate commercials.  Yeah, right.

Now we have so many different types of television services to choose from – from cable to Dish Network.  Each company has so many different types of packages to choose from – and they range in price from affordable to “are you kidding me?” 

Fortunately you can go online and compare the different companies and services, and can use a TV service guide that can help y0u to determine which service is right for your family.  In this tough economy, though, I find myself wishing that television was free again!  Even though we have hundreds of channels available to watch, and we have the cheapest package we can get, we still only watch a handful of channels.  I almost wish we could do a pay-per-view on everything we watch – we’d probably save a lot of money that way!

 Passing out pillows

The last time I flew and asked for a pillow, it was a little bit more subdued than this!
