multitasking

Just to appear smarter than the average (you pick), I looked up 'multitasking'.   It apparently is mainly referring to someone doing more than one thing at a time on the computer, that in itself  being beyond my comprehension.  Secondly, it refers to 'people skills'.   Sadly, or not so sadly, I am capable of only 'one tasking',  on the computer and more accurately in life in general.  If I'm holding a glass of water in one hand and a pill in the other, I'm most fortunate if the pill goes to my mouth first.  I know.  It seems like a mindless task, but it IS multitasking!  Have you never sat to put your shoes on and realized your socks are still in your lap? OR, snapped your jeans shut only to be reminded your fly is open?  More than single tasking is harder than one thinks!  Oh wait.  I have to put in a title and label...............................marge

950 am radio news station

I called radio am 950 today to suggest their broadcasters talked too fast when giving traffic and weather reports on the 8's.  I admitted to being a senior and speed from others is sometimes a handicap for me.  The person I talked to seemed to think I could become a better listener and not blame the persons giving the reports.  Oh to be young again,  or perhaps not...................marge

Da tree! Da tree!

Its here and done!..................marge

Thank you Charlie Brown AND Garden welder, Laura Steiner....

My daughter,  'the welder,' couldn't resist the challenge.  If the City of Birmingham can have a fake tree,  so can I, but  mine won't cost $30,000.  'Mom' bargaining power is a good thing.  Of course she will get my top dollar, say, under $200?  I've asked for a 'Charlie Brown tree'.  She'll be on it starting Monday.   If all goes as expected, plan on driving down Washington Blvd. in Birmingham in December.  And.......feel free to enjoy.......................marge

President Obama political signs

I will have an Obama sign in my yard.  It may not be a 'store bought' one but there will be one.  I 'm so disappointed in whomever is running his campaign in Michigan.  The other Democratic candidates signs are free for the asking at the sign place on Main St. in Royal Oak.  For the President's though, they are $10.00 apiece.  I live on a corner and prefer two.  I've donated via the internet several times to the Obama campaign.  I will NOT pay that much per sign.  I can afford it but I truly believe there are many Obama supporters who would find it a definite hardship.  Tell me please, what is wrong with this picture??................marge

Miracle creams?

I'm tired of all the ads for creams etc. to make someone looks 20 years younger.  They won't help me.  I need a cream that takes off say, forty years.  You may think you know why I say forty years, but you don't.  That's because most of you have no idea who 'Walter Pidgeon' is.  You see,  I have a face like Walter Pidgeon.  All the creams in the  world aren't going to help me.  AND, from now on, we won't use the word 'wrinkles'.  Never ever again.  Character lines.  I have character lines.  Remember that, if you ever approach and recognize me in public. If you don't, I think I can still deliver a good 'punch'...........marge
