March 13, 2011...start of Daylight Savings Time!!! Did you all changed your time? Remember.. Spring Forward!!! Yes, you got it right, baby, we lost 1 hour of sleep today!!! Feel tired?? Do not worry we will gain that 1 hour back in the Fall! I know! I know! It is a long time from now. Well, kiddo, you cannot do anything...so deal with it and stop whining!!!
I feel sooo bad about the 8.9 earthquake/tsunami that devastated Japan the other day. The death toll is reaching 10,000. Hopefully the aftershocks are done and the nuclear plants will be alright! Let us all pray for the Japanese people!
Have you seen the latest kitchen gadgets? My! My! My! To start with...A Toast Stamper!! Goodness gracious!! Would you spend $6.99 for a plastic stamper to stamp some designs on your toast?? Maybe if you have small children to make them eat toast? How about adults? Are you willing to part with your money for a stupid thing like a toast stamper???
Next item, please...A Chef Basket worth $14.99. It starts off flat and expands into a flexible basket that lets you cook, boil or deep fry. You invert it and presto! A steamer is born! It is a neat idea, but who needs another kitchen gadget??
How about a Wowbacon Microwave Bacon Cooker for $23.95? It cooks the bacon in a two compartment container, looks like a pitcher from the picture, the fat draining on the outer compartment. Maybe this one will be good since it will not have the fat splattering all over the microwave and thus paper towels are saved! But isn't that kind of expensive? Well, you are not using paper towels, so is that not savings???
Then there is the Yumbots Robot Cupcake Molds from $19.30. Can you imagine eating robot shaped cupcakes? This will be a fun way to serve cupcakes for birthday parties! Available in red, blue, green and yellow! Are we all running now to get these molds? Heck, no! Not me..I do not need any more extra gadgets on my cupboard!
How about a Pig Cooking Lid that is placed directly on the pot? Steam is released through the pig's snout! Oink! Oink! Sorry, I forgot how much it is since I am not interested.
There are soo many more gadgets but I think I will stop for now! I am not buying anymore kitchen gadgets to use just once and let dust accumulate in it! Thank you very much, but I will hold on to my dollars even though the value has gone down big time!
Lte us take a look at the Extra Virgin Oil. Wowie! It is really outrageously high! A few years ago, I can get a big bottle for $5.00! Now? It is about $10.00!!! Oh, well, I think I have to keep on looking for a sale! Good luck to me finding one!
Talking about extra virgin oil, did you know that there is one with garlic in it? Ummm!!! This will be good for salads. The best part of that is... it is MADE IN THE USA! The name of the company? Sutter Buttes California!! I feel like a spokesperson for this company (lol), but I am trying to buy products only made in America! I hope and pray for our economy that all Americans do the same! Or are we too late? Better late than never! Wow!! That is what I like...a fighting spirit!!! So, come on everybody.....let us pray, buy US made products and keep on trying to help and save America from its spiral downwards!
Have I blabbered enough already? You bet! Okay, I will stop now. Let us all pray for all the people in the world! Let there be world peace!! May God bless everyone and their families reading this blog!

Novelty Fads
Whenever there is a new novelty item, nearly everyone goes crazy!!!! What do you mean, everyone??? Some do not get crazy!!!! That is why I said, nearly everyone. Look, listen before you utter any other word!!!! Or should I say, look before you leap!!!! Is there a saying like that??? Who knows, and who cares???? Wow!!!!! You are sooo testy today!!!! Yikes!!!! Calm down, missy!!!! Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed???? Uh..huh....
Back to what I was saying.... There was the Hula Hoop, glowing pendant necklaces, pet rock, beanie babies, mood ring, coil spring, Rubik's cube, Cabbage Patch Kids, just to name a few!!! And it seems that there is a new craze that comes up every year that makes children crazy and they just have to have it!!!! It is also a dream come true to the inventor who suddenly hit a gold mine!!!!!
Look at the Cabbage Patch Kids. They are not called dolls, but kids, and you have to adopt them!!! A brilliant strategy!! I remember when that was a very hot item, people had to look for them everywhere!!!! You would be lucky if you ever find one!!! And how about the Rubik's cube??? It sold 100 million from1980 to 1982!!! It is still loved by children and adults!! And where are these items now??? Probably gone, or in some attic gathering dust!!!!
What is the present craze now??? Silly Bandz!!!! What is it???? You mean you have not seen any??? Only in pictures!!! What is it? They are brightly colored bands that can be worn around the wrist like bangles, but returns to their original shape like animals, unicorn, fish, crabs, sailboats, etc, once removed from the wrist!! Is that not clever or what??? What makes this sooo appealing is the affordability!!! It is sold in packs of 24 for only $4.95!!!! It is not only young children that are going crazy with it, also college students!!!! And like the Pokemon cards, it can be traded, collected and shared!!!!
A long time toy inventor, Robert Croak, really hit the jackpot this time!!! The annual sales two years ago was $10,000. And how about now??? A whopping $100 million!!!! That is really fantastic!!!! Which comes to my mind, why can't we think of something as simple as that, that will be an overnight success??? Because some of us do not have the force nor the brain to concoct or make inventions!!!! Or maybe, we just have not put our thinking cap in gear!!!!
Yes!!!! The Silly Bandz is the new thing!! Some schools are banning it because it is a distraction! Kids trade it or gaze at other students arms instead of listening to the teacher! It is also banned because of safety concerns, such as wearing the bands around the neck or shooting it at other kids like the ordinary rubber bands!!! Sounds familiar???? You bet!!! You were shooting rubber bands when you were a kid???? My, my, my!!! What a wild child you are!!!! Not really, only a little!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! That was a very long time ago!!!!
Well, guys, what are you waiting for??? Put on your thinking caps and invent something!!! Go on, invent the next novelty craze of 2010!!!!
