Poking around the Amazon site, I found some free MP3 downloads of music samplers. There are a variety of them and I’m not sure how to search for them specifically, but the couple that I came across were good. They have a download program you are supposed to use. I used it and it worked OK but I don’t even know how to use that program again now that I got what I wanted.

Scary Neighbors
You know times are getting awfully scary when you seriously think about having a back ground check done on the new neighbor that just moved in across the street. I’m serious too. Some of the things they were moving in were downright scary looking!! They had a stuffed bear that is bigger than my dad. I’m not sure it was harrier though.

Chicken Poop
About a year ago I saw a sign at the corner Walgreen’s that said “We Have Chicken Poop!” and when I first saw that I wondered what the heck is so special about chicken poop that the drug store is advertising it? I mean, wouldn’t you go to Tractor Supply or Ace Hardware for fertilizer? Why is Walgreen’s selling fertilizer?
Well, they sell a little bit of everything else these days, so I guess they can sell what they want. But it turns out that what they were advertising is not fertilizer – it is a lip balm. The thought behind the product is like that old joke about kissing a horse’s behind. If you have chapped lips, put something on them that makes you not want to lick your lips.

Today’s Technology for Communicating
My two older sisters are trying to start their own company and want me to join in with them since it has a lot to do with computers, websites and blogging. I have to be honest, it sounds like a wonderful idea and lord knows I could use some extra money these days, but I’ve always been told not to go into business with family. My sisters and I have always gotten along fairly well since we have all grown up and left our parents house, but still we are sisters.
I have consented to look over their website and read their proposals for now, but I have a lot of questions and concerns and I’m not sure which sister I should confront with them. They are exact opposites and I have to be careful what I say to either one of them, which I guess is typical with family members. It is too bad that we all live so far away from each other and have to rely on cell phones, texts, emails, Instant Messaging and lately Facebook. I do so much better face to face.
I am trying to convince them to check out the coupons and savings from vistaprint that I have heard so much about from other people looking for business cards to help pass out and get the word out for their businesses, so I’ve sent them both the link to vistaprint for them to visit and see if what they have to offer would benefit them/us in anyway. You just can’t beat their prices and I’ve seen many of their products from other folks that have used them and I’ve been impressed with the quality that they have received.
I should be seeing both of them tomorrow, for a short time at least for our Mother’s Day dinner that we have been planning for some time now, but I hate to talk about business in front of the other family members that will be attending. Our family is very opinionated and I’m just not in the mood for a bunch of drama on a day that is supposed to be all about our mother. Maybe when dinner is over and we all go outside for our after dinner cigarette I can get a few words in that I really want to say face to face. If not I guess we will just have to keep communicating with all of today’s technology that we have been relying on for the past couple of years.

Daughters and Mothers
Saw this on Facebook and thought I’d post it here for all the mothers and daughters celebrating Mother’s Day this weekend.
