Water Ways & Alcohol

Cheryl — Sun, 16 May 2010 16:13:14 +0000

I have had the opportunity to spend a good portion of my life on the many waters around this world and have seen too many close calls and accidents that happened, and the majority of the operators could plainly been seen drinking some type of alcoholic beverage, beer being the number one choice. Drinking and then driving anything can and have causes serious incidents and accidents and the number of people doing this is growing larger every year it seems.It wouldn’t surprise me to see in that in the not to near future that some type of permit may be necessary to operate all of the different types of boats.

As much as I have some strong opinions about Big Brother and all, I am starting to think that licensing for this serious issue might be a good idea. Of course I’d have to see all that it could require and all that. Something to check into online sometime in the near future.

Frogs are every where

Cheryl — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:07:47 +0000

Years ago I must have expressed out loud in front of someone, somewhere, something about the cuteness of a frog lawn ornament, that had caught my eye, for some reason. I didn’t even buy the frog, but some how that was to be the start of the many, many frogs that have now seemingly taken over my house and lawn. Word got out and frogs are a constant, but welcomed gesture from folks, as a gift, a token, a present, a tip (after all, I am a bar tender, and we receive quite a variety of tips now and then) from virtually everywhere from all types of people that I have/had a relationship with over the years. I must have a frog made out of any and every type of material that is known to man, in all kinds of sizes, and stances.

For Christmas I was given a frog aquarium kit, which requires a check to be sent in with the order for the frogs to come in the mail, or I could go down to one of the many pet stores that have popped up all over the place in the past few years. I’m sure at least one will have baby frogs for sale, it seems like the more humane way to receive new members of the family. But going to the pet stores, any of them like PetCo, Puppy Palace, and Petsmart always leaves me with me wallet emptied out and my heart broken from not being able to take home more of the critters that are all there, just waiting for a home, and knowing that their chances of being purchased and treated adequately highly reduces most of their survival rates.

One of the places that I try not to go in to are the A.S.P.C.A. and Animal Shelters, I have never left one yet with out crying like a baby and feeling like a piece of scum, and dirty. Not something that I enjoy or look forward to doing, ever.

Hopefully a good book “The Pirate Wench”

Cheryl — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:15:23 +0000

I was surfing the net today and found a web-site that goes by, roguesandromance.blogspot.com where I found a post that was discussing a new book by the name of “The Pirate Wench”, which authored by Melinda Barron. After taking a look at the description of the book I knew instantly that I had to order it right away. The cost was only $5.95 and they accepted payment through Pay Pal, which is great for me, I had the whole ordering process done in less than 3 minutes, beats the hell out of taking a trip to the bookstore, now doesn’t it.

One of my favorite things is taking a nice hot bubble bath and soaking these old bones while reading a good book. I’m so happy to find this site and it looks like they have several more books that I am excited to see, so I am bookmarking this site for future purchases and some interesting information also.

Free Blogs are out there

Cheryl — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:04:55 +0000

If you can not afford to get a blog or know how to set one up or whatever the reason don’t worry, there are plenty of places out there that offer free blogs for you to write with. The first is Wordpress.com and is the best one to use when writing a blog online through a free service.

The second is named Blogger and is run by Google. If you don’t like either of those, then try out blog.com and see if they have what you like. I think all three of them are good!

Good Luck and Happy Blogging!

Little old men in their little sports cars

Cheryl — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:10:43 +0000

I think there is nothing as silly looking as an old man driving a sports car. The weather was wonderful today, and while I was driving home from running errands I saw an old man driving a convertible sports car with the top down. I wanted to shout at him “You look so silly, old man!”

But, that would be very rude of me! So I just shook my head and kept quiet!

Whenever I see an old man driving a sports car like that, it makes me think that he is trying desperately to feel young and sexy once again. I guess there is nothing wrong with that, but I think it makes them look desperate and sad. Like old women in mini-skirts and plunging necklines look desperate and sad!

Diz is ow De brudda’s do it man…..

My girlfriend loves sending me videos like this one that she has found on You Tube. LOL

If only we had the Internet while I was growing up, I just can’t even imagine how things would have played out. Oh well, no need for guessing, life happens no matter what!

Water Park

Cheryl — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:19:24 +0000

Summer is really here. The temperatures are expected to hit the 90’s for the next couple of days. I’m off to the new Water Park here in town tomorrow. Gonna spend the day on the Lazy River on an inner tube. This week end is supposed to be a scorcher as well. I’m glad that the bar that I work at has air conditioning that works well.

Golf Packages

Cheryl — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:12:21 +0000

My brother-in-law is a fairly good golfer, quite a bit better at it then I am, but I do love to play on occasion as it sure does relax me and I always have a good time when I’m out on a course. A couple of us have been thinking about going to Las Vegas and have decided that since we were going to be there anyway perhaps we could get in a few rounds of Las Vegas golf. So we decided to look up what kind of Affordable golf packages we might be qualified for.

I must admit we were a bit out of luck until my buddy found this website that gave us the information we needed to make reservations directly with the golf course of our choosing, and they even have the golf pros that can aid you should you need one, (personally, I need one because my long game is a bit shoddy to say the least). Anyway this site allows you to book on-line at just about every golf course I’ve ever heard of anyone wanting to play a round or two at. You can book a room, set up a tee-off time, maybe an appointment with a golf-pro to help you out a little on your swing or something, and as you’re dealing directly with the course people themselves. No middleman, in other words, a lot less money you need to dish out! Man you can even make your own style of a Golf Package Vacation! And the site shows you photos of the courses with detailed course information as well. Plus they show you what is available along the lines of nearby accommodations, with photos and availability by date information. I’m telling you, if you want to play golf, you’ve got to check this site out.

Paintball Wars

Cheryl — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 04:31:42 +0000

Talk about a rush! The paintball war games I participated in last week are so cool! They’ve changed quite a bit over the years since the first time I ever played. We were never that organized nor did we have the advantage today’s gamers have when it comes to paintball equipment. I found this fabulous paintball guns and accessories site and if you’ve ever wanted to try your luck at paintball then this is the perfect place to get your gear for the game!I’ve decided to go with a complete new outfit myself, and since they offer what I think is the best in paintball guns, as well as other needed name brand paintball related gear, I’ve chosen one of several packages they have to offer, called the tippmann x7 package. It’s a great sniper version package that offers what I’m looking for in a paintball outfit. The best thing of all, besides that they’re the better prices, is that they offer totally FREE shipping! Now you just can’t beat that.

Rodeo Fun

Cheryl — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 04:19:30 +0000

For a few months last year, my friend was hinting the fact that she wanted to go somewhere fun and exciting that we haven’t gone before. So I searched around on the Internet for some idea’s, and came across a few things that we both would enjoy. I came across National Rodeo Finals tickets, and we attended the 49th Wrangler National Finals Rodeo that began in Las Vegas last December, fans no doubt looked through the list of contestants to find their favorites to see who the best riders were for the gold buckles. It was no secret that steer wrestling would be one of the most awesome contested events, with the world title coming down to the wire and virtually all of the Top 15 having a shot at glory. Our favorite was Jason Miller for Steer wrestling which shot towards the top with a 4.8 in round 10 and on average 42.70/10, which is quite impressing, I might say.We enjoyed it so much to where we now want to attend Rodeo’s worldwide each year. Just check out one of their websites at Prorodeo.com and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed, you’ll have a great time and you’ll come out with so many great memories to keep close for the rest of your life that you can share with everyone.
