More Oldies But Goodies

 December 9, 2020

Good morning.  Tis cold, only 23F degrees, and we may get a sprinkle of rain or snow later today.  Goodie, goodie.  Tomorrow is supposed to warm up a bit though, into the forties.  

I was toodling around the internet this morning and came across an interesting article.  Have you ever wondered how many of our companies are owned by China?  I clicked on the article and was flabbergasted at how many of our companies are on this list.  Big companies, little companies.  It makes me wonder which companies are the Americans spending their money on.  Hmmm, food for thought.  (you can check it out on Google)

Then I read an article on how to unclog your drains with hydrogen peroxide.  You pour it down the drain, let it settle for an hour, then pour several cups of hot water down the drain.  This destroys organic matter that builds up in the drain, and also keeps pipes free of mildew and mold growth.  Interesting.

On the news this morning, they mentioned that a couple of health care workers in the UK that had the new vaccination for Covid 19 had severe reactions to the shot.  They both had severe food or medicine allergies.  With severe allergies, I wonder why they even got the shot in the first place.  Just something to think about.

Here's another memory from the fifties and early sixties.  We could actually afford to take our children to dine at McDonalds in those days.  

Would you look at these prices?  Even with a car full of little kids, you could feed them all for a little more than a dollar.  Not now, nope, not now.

I found another "oldie but goodie" on the web to share.  This is a picture of the gym suit that we girls were required to wear for Physical Ed back when I went to school.  Not too many of us liked these suits.  Especially when we had to wear them outside and all the boys could see us.  Gosh, I had almost forgotten about these suits.

Yesterday, my grocery order arrived on time.  Alas, it was missing a couple items that were not out of stock.  I had to call the store and speak to a manager about it.  Within thirty minutes, he had the missing items delivered to my porch.  I appreciated that, but the items should not have been missing in the first place.  (they were a case of spring water and a large pack of toilet paper)

Today I need to make some calls about my car insurance.  It's wicked how the price of it keeps going up and my car hardly ever gets driven.  The new bill came in for $1600.  This is just too much for an elderly person to have to pay when they hardly ever drive.  

Also, they had the year that I first got my license wrong on my policy.  They had 1956, and I got my license in 1955.  The lady on the phone fixed that for me and then told me that this would make my bill even higher.  Every extra year of driving (for senior citizens) adds more money to their bill.  Even if they have a clean driving record.  (like I do, no accidents, tickets, nothing)  This is just not fair.

Enough of my babble.  Now I'm off to wash some dishes.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
