Friday stuff...


So like I said there was no Canasta game or lunch yesterday so I didn’t have much to do. Sarge went and played poker but I just went downstairs with my computer and sat in the party room while she cleaned the apartment.

And there was no internet there. As soon as I tried to go to another page it gave me to old boot. I have tried to get them to make the whole building wireless but do they listen to me? Noooooo. I’ll bet they could do it for ten bucks a unit through the cable company with a contract. It’s over a hundred units and I’d bet Comcast would go for it. Just my two cents, that and a buck will get you a cup of coffee. Maybe.


I read a magazine telling me how to have “sexy hair” and was told that they had the perfect jeans for every butt. (???) Good luck with that. There was also an article on how not to look tired. Crikey, I could have written that one, take a nap people. And then there was the old forty ways to connect with a guy. Sarge says I only need one way but then he's old. And an article on breasts but I only skimmed that one since mine are just long and empty. No point on boning up on the perky stuff, it ain't gonna' happen.

The magazine is Glamour and I have no earthly idea why they send it to me. I do know I never paid for it but every month it comes in a pristine plastic wrapper. Usually I just toss it but since I had to entertain myself I read this one, cover to cover.

Now if I was one to put a bathing suit on my behind (snicker) I could have gone and sat at the pool. That’s not gonna’ happen either. Then it started storming again anyhow so no pool either way. Finally I saw her go so I came back upstairs and that was that. The end.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend! I know I will!

"Forty ways to get a guy", eh? And how many of them are honest?!?

I bet Comcast would jump at the chance to have wireless at ten bucks a person but I would be willing to bet that there are a lot of people in the building who don't own computers and wouldn't want to pay for other people's indulgences.

Hope you and Sarge have a pleasurable Fourth of July weekend!

There's one sure fire way to get a guy, at least I discovered when I was in my 20s. Offer him a beer and buy him a pizza.

i don't read those magazines. they give me a complex because my butt doesn't look like that girl's on the cover. :]] and if matt thinks i'm pretty then what do i need to worry about it?

Amazing Gracie said...

Ha! I'm still laughing at the "biddies," and the "sharks!" That was wonderful!
Don't you hate it when stuff stops working? Our dishwasher leaked all over the floor and the kitchen faucet needs replacing. That's just a start...
Bathing suit? What's that? Oh, those stupid, vapid magazines! I hate them! I quit reading "People" eons ago when it stopped being "People," and became "Celebrities." I read the "Smithsonian," instead. Sad...
Have a blessed Fourth!
~~~Blessings~~~

LOL at your long breasts. Me, too. In fact instead of a cup size on a bra it should say 42 Long. hahaha.

I wear a bathing suit. WTH. Of course if I'm ever on the same cruise with you, maybe not... I might be the next FiFi? Aaaaahhhhh.

Sandy B said...

Thanks for the snicker! I don't read those magazines either. They are pretty much for 'plastic' people, since they are most often ABOUT 'plastic' people. The headlines at least entertain me while waiting in line at the grocery store.

Enjoy your weekend! Big hugs...

Daisy said...

Barb cracked me up with her "42 Long" bra size comment!

ivana said...

I get an outdoor magazine and a hunting magazine. Both go in the trash. Don't know where they came from and how they got my name...LOL!

Paul from Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada said...

Good morning Bee. I just wanted to hi this morning. I'm going golfing with my son-in-law Joe and then back to help with Marylou and my daughter Nicole. They are doing one of those garage sales tomorrow and we to help set everything up. Have a great day my friend.

Paul

I haven't read Glamour for years! Anyhoo... I'm glad there's a market for that stuff, but it isn't me!

Palm Springs Savant said...

Those magazines are wacky to be sure. They must be popular, they have been doing the same things for years now. I don't know Bee, you should write in about the jeans claim, ask them to find the perfect pair for you.

I can't resist reading magazines like that but I hate them - they always make me feel so old! :0

Thank you for mentioning me on your blog today! ~Crikey

I wouldn't have read that one just because taylor swift is on the cover. She's a phenom, but I am just tired of hearing her music on all the channels. there are other great country artists out there that need the air play.

hope you have a graet weekend.

Patti said...

I haven't read one of those mags in ages. I also believe they are about and for plastic people.

So much phoniness.

Barb's comment was hysterical!

Susie Q said...

I'm sure one of those ways to get a guy would involve his money.

I do like little Taylor Swift though. She is such a cutie and yeah, I think every woman alive can relate to at least one of her songs!
