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!

One Fall Day
Today is another Fall day. It seems so dreary outside. Of course, it is, you dingbat! It is raining!! You are right, but Fall should be better with nice, sunny day. Dream on...pretty soon, it will be all white all over the streets, houses, trees, etc. Please do not remind me of the coming winter! Brrr.... Just the thought of it make me shiver!!!
A ride to the mall was kind of nice, not very many traffic, considering that it is Saturday! Maybe, the people decided just to stay in the comfort of their homes since it is dreary. Some of the trees have changed, but not all. Do you think all the trees will change colors?? Probably not, the leaves will just fall off to the ground without changing colors! Waht do you guys think??
How was the mall?? It is the same... not very many people! There are Christmas decorations already on display, but not that much. There are many sale on the stores but I do not see very many buying. Some are just looking, some are just talking and others are just jogging! I looked, and there are indeed good sale going on. I tried some clothes, but did mot buy anything!! Why? I was not in the mood... I just wanted to walk and talk! If you did not buy, you are not contributing to the country's economy! So, how about you??? Oh, oh, you got me!!! Well, for one thing, I did not really like the clothes, and I was trying to hold on to my cash! Do you have a problem with that?? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Testy! Testy! Testy! Why did you not use your credit card??? You could have gotten a few percentage off from your purchase!! I told you that I was not in the mood of buying today!!! And credit card purchases... not if I could help it not to use it!!! Do you think people are cutting down on their credit card purchases?? Do you think people are getting smarter with their money?
Christmas is just around the corner. Do you think people will be buying a lot for Christmas, or will they cut down on their spending?? I think the people with money will still buy some things but not that much! The economy is still dreary, like the weather outside! Also, people do not know if they will still have jobs next year! Unemployment is still high, foreclosures are still going on, and the cost of groceries are going up! Salaries of people are not going up, it is going down! The seniors are not getting any increase in their social security, the health care premiums are going up. I could go on and on of what I see wrong with the picture of our country, but I am getting frustrated especially when I see homeless people on the streets! And some people are really struggling which is sooo sad!! There are some people that have become homeless because of the hard economic times, but they just are proud to ask for help! Can you blame them??? Not really. The picture is bleak, really bleak! Do you think the people that will be elected come November can help change the sad course for the better for our beloved country? All we can do is hope and have faith!!!
May God bless America! May God bless each and everyone of us and our families!!! Have a safe and pleasant weekend!!!!
