Old Pancake Mix Can Kill

OM! I just was sent an email about expired pancake mix can kill you.
Seems as though it develops spores and mold that can cause a reaction and kill you.
It can affect your breathing and you could die.
Who keeps stuff that long to make something like that happen?
And the word is that when it goes bad it will have a taste similar to rubbing alcohol...
Why one earth would someone eat RUBBING ALCOHOL tasting food?
I checked it out on net and snopes and both say this is a true fact.
So check your food packaging dates and when in doubt...throw it out!
And don't forget to sterilize that storage area as the spores can be airborne and contaminate other foods.

I Love Puppies and Kittens

I am just absolutely fascinated by the antics of puppies and kittens.
Their curiosity is amazing to me. They seem to have extra senses to tell them when they are approaching danger or something that isn't quite right and still they instinctively go get in trouble any way.
It is comical to watch a pup or a kitten when they try to capture a moving ray of light or chase their own tail or run after a piece of yarn.
The innocents of it all is refreshing.

Puppies and Kittens seem to give unconditional love to humans.
They expect so little and yet give so much.

Don't Yah Just Love It When...

Don't yah just love it when someone asks you...whatchagotplannedfortoday?
Yes just like that...like super sonic speed so they think you will not actually hear what they asked you in the first place.
What do I have planned? Hmmm, now let me think a moment...ah yes, I think I will take a trip to the local spa and get a facial and then go shopping for a couple of new outfits and then go book an airline ticket to the Bahama then go pack and off I go!
What the heck do think I have planned for today?! Same as yesterday!
Why what do you want?
Oh you say you didn't want a thing you were just interested in my life?
You poor bored befuddled person...get a life one of your own preferably.
I hate it when someone who I haven't heard from like forever has the nerve to ask me what are my plans..Everyone knows I dote on my grand babies and they get first priority so why bother thinking I would take my precious time away from them?
DO they think I would drop what I am doing to do them a favor they don't deserve? NOT!
Ever have a day or a frenemy like that?

This is absolutely amazing.
I think I would like to have this done on my feet. It is so hard for me to bend over and get all the nooks and crannies when I am trying to smooth my feet myself.
I bet this would feel a little funky and ticklish, but I think my feet would look great when procedure is done.
Looks interesting to me.
Just think, little bitty fishy nibbling your feet to pretty.

Medicare Age HELP!

I have to sign hubby up for medicare soon and I need help figuring out what supplemental insurance to get for him.
I have tried looking at some of the plans but it is soooo confusing and H E L P !
The costs are so high and I do not know if he can afford it or not.
This is serious stuff.
How do people figure this out on their own?
You have to be an accountant or something to work on this stuff.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I live in Ohio if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.

Not By The Hair On My Chinny-chin-chin

Why does growing old have to be so, oh, I don't know...trying.
I have the winter blahs, much like a lot of others.
So I finally decide I am going to pull the old boot straps up and gussy up and go out for a nice evening.
I go get my hair and nails done, buy an entire new outfit, including shoes and purse.
I go home get ready look in the mirror and WOW! Is that me?!
I should have done this months ago. I look and feel great.
So we go to the local watering hole...just kidding. We went to a nice Restaurant/lounge place for wining and dining.
Let me tell you it was wonderful.
We got to the place and we were greeted by this totally charming man who seated us and he kept staring at me even after he had seated us.
Then there was the waiter who took out our order, it was like his eyes were glued to me...all night.
Hey now I know I felt good when I left the house, but some on now, had it been that long since I dressed up and got this kind of attention not to remember how it felt or is this a common practice of men now to stare at beautiful women.
So then we decided to dance a bit after having some wine and my gosh there where two other guys that ended up staring at us, me later and the one was talking to his date and it must have been about us/me because she did one of those I am not looking at you looks at us/me.
I was so thrilled if I were the topic of the evening. It made me feel so special.
The evening was coming to an end and it was time to go home.
So we get home and I am floating on air feeling really great.
I get changed and ready for bed and I go in the bathroom to take off the mounds of make up on my face and I turn on the lights over the vanity and take one last look at...ME!
"SSSSCCCCRRREEEEEAAAAAMMMM!", I said.
As I gazed into my "mirror, mirror on the wall", I saw two of the biggest, thickest, curlycuest hairs hanging right off the middle of my chinny-chin-chin !
Can you imagine being all dressed up thinking the world is good, go out in public and have two huge hairs hanging from the middle of your chin?
The woman that did my hair said nothing, the woman who did my nails said nothing and my hubby said nothing !
But now I sure know why everyone was staring at me tonight...those Two thick hairs on my chin.
YUCK !
I was so humiliated at myself.
Those hairs were dominant I wonder why they just did not shine a spot light on me and say and now the lady with the macrame chin hairs.
Don't think I will go out soon.
Think I will hiberanate some more.
Back to the real world for me.
