Shapewear

Here is today's conundrum:

Would you more readily purchase this Groupon if the product were shown in each of the offered sizes? Small, medium, large, extra large, 1x and 2x?

Yes or no,

Friend Ship

How stinkin' cute is this?

So glad a little girl moved in up the street (where those stinkin' not cute boys use to live. I shutter to think what I would have found on my driveway if they had been the ones to discover my sidewalk chalk.)

Work Wanted

This classified ad appeared in Wednesday's Mountain Sun.

You may notice there are a few typos. Which leads me to believe the woman who took my ad for my last Garage Sale no longer works at the paper. You know the one who corrected my copy to read 'electric' instead of 'eclectic'. She's the reason my sale was only open an hour. I got tired of explaining to disappointed people that not all my items plugged in.


Anyway, blessings to you, Huck! I hope you get the work you want.


Synseerly,

Have Smartphone, Will Travel

A college friend (who lives out of state) is going to be in Austin this weekend and wants me to come play. Last time we got together, we talked and talked. Until her Prozac overthrew her Margaritas and she landed face down in a giant potted plant. 


So you know I'm in. 


Especially now that I have a smartphone. And facebook. And compassion. You know I'm just kidding about posting pics to fb. YouTube would be a much better platform.

Sharing the Road with Others

I really thought I could complete my 6-hour Defensive Driving course in one sitting but it's just too painful. (The curriculum not the sitting.)


Today's knowledge reaping involves 'Communication' and 'Sharing the Road with Others'. Get ready to learn something...


1) If you see a car with a crumpled fender, the driver is communicating that they are not cautious and said driver could even be considered reckless (not wreckless, obviously).


2) 'Using your horn can be beneficial or very irritating to other drivers.' These Defensive Driving people want me to tap my horn whenever I reach a sharp curve so other drivers will know I'm there. Got it. Later today I will try this out when I go around the Golf Street traffic circle.


3) 'Use hand gestures as a courtesy. Never use obscene hand gestures when driving.' All I have to say about this is, sometimes obscene hand gestures are a courtesy.


Honk, honk,

Defensive Driving

I'm finally getting around to taking my Defensive Driving Class. Online. I'm hoping I can wade through this repetitive, boring as hell, hell before my court date.


And since misery is said to love company, I'd like to share a few of the more interesting Defensive Driving tidbits I've gleaned so far.


1) Did you know you do most of your braking and acceleration with your leg muscles? That's what the experts say.


2) Hands at 10 o'clock and 2, no longer recommended. Studies show pretzeling your arms on big turns is not the choice maneuver it was once thought to be.


3) The correct answer for number 6 is NOT option one.

And that explains why I got my speeding ticket.

Tomorrow we'll cover communicating on the road.


Vroom,
Corky
