Anybody sick of...?

Is it just me, or is anyone else sick of:
Jared, the Subway guy? Commercials about E.D.? Donald Trump's hair? Reality shows? Shows about lawyers and doctors where all they do is talk about sex? News shows where the guests just argue with each other and no one listens to the other?
And this has nothing to do with TV, but have any of you ever gotten your feathers ruffled by teachers who always send home these newsletters (unsolicited) that tell us how to be better parents? I have been tempted many times, to find something geared towards teachers, telling them how they can do a better job. I think they may get offended.

Here's a secret about me....
"ssshhhhhhhhhh"....I'm a reality show junky. Don't ask me why, guess I don't have enough drama in my life! LOL I also do like Dr Phil, and sometimes watch Oprah.
Other then that, I don't watch alot of t.v. I'm too busy making my first million! (or chatting on boomer women speak!)

Who's Jared the Subway guy? and what is E.D.? Do I live in a cave? What did I miss? I like to watch Oprah and Dr. Phil, but that's just me. I don't get to see either one very often, but enjoy it when I do.
I've never been able to figure out why Donald Thrump can have so much money and influence, yet he can't find a descent barber.
Reality shows I don't like (Survivors, Joe Millionaire, etc.) and I mean I REALLY don't like these. But then again, that's just me.
I'm with you on the news shows where all they do is argue, one trying to out-scream the other. Nerve racking and nothing ever gets said/done.
If I'm going to watch TV, I love mysteries and old movies. Sometimes, cooking shows like Iron Chef. As long as you don't make me watch that girl, what's her name? Rachel or something?
That about sums it up. Oh wait... I like the Curb Appeal show on HGTV...love that!

Well, bb- I'm really not sick of all the tv stuff cause I just put the tv on for noise and pay no mind- I can also have the stereo on and ALLLL the lights and this drives the frugal husband nuts But- I remember those be a good parent newsletters. I think I was a bit of a nutty mother- let the boys do what they wanted as long as it didn't hurt them or others - or cost me mega bucks in damages- this was OK when we lived in a bigger, more diverse city but when we moved to Lancaster PA- a bit of an uptight world I was bad mom personified! The one phone call I got put an end to that- seems the guidance counselor thought if my sons would dress more like their costudents and not be so ready to spout what was no doubt their liberalmother's misguided views they would get on better Well- I let loose- told her the goal of education was knowledge and to open minds and accept that the world was not all like this corner of it so, no I did not want my children to conform They never called again- my kids did fine- graduated up there in their classes and fled this county post haste and I am ranting and raving over something that happened years ago- hot flash alert!

JJ, Jared is the tall geeky guy with glasses that does the commercials for Subway sandwiches. He's been their spokesperson for years and I realized recently that I'm so sick of him (the sandwiches are good, though.) E.D. is erectile dysfunction and they have the most obnoxious commercials for the meds. Donald's hair just goes to show you can't buy class! You don't love Rachael Ray??? I think she is so expressive and adorable! And I hate the Iron Chef! Different strokes for different folks!!

My favorite reality t.v. shows are:
#1. Survivor - would cut off my right arm before missing it.
#2. Extreme Home make overs! Good for the soul!
#3. Extreme Make overs (helps me to know that beauty CAN be bought! (and when I'm rich, I can buy it too if I chose! rotfl))
#4. The surreal life - horrible but compelling.
I loove what not to wear - I have learned so much from that show on "What I should wear"..
Clean sweep - has affirmed my position on not having to much junk in the house!
I can NOT watch the kissy, smootchy "bachelor" type shows. Ugh. I'm 40 and I still can't stand to see people in a lip lock on t.v.
Isn't it funny how we all have different tastes.

Glad there is another survivor fan in the house!

Hardly ever watch tv during the day... my mother use to watch the soap operas, it got to the point she would draw the shades, lock the door, take the phone off the hook and dare to you talk over a whisper.
Afternoons while preparing dinner, you can catch me every now and again looking in on Judge Judy, Doc Phil, and Oprah. My husband is a stickler for Law & Order and CSI, so we have seen every re-run 4 or 5 times... for sure.
My absolute favorite show is House, if only all doctors were like him. I find him to be very pleasing to the eye, not gorgeous just really appealing.
Favorite commerical is the baby, on Quiznos Sub's. What a cutie!

Well, this is hilarious !
I just spent this entire day on this website and I don't even care at this point - where have you guys been all my life?
You people spend way too much time watching Television, however, I like Dr. Phil, Oprah, HGTV, Food Network, (and Rachel Ray Is trying my nerves lately - a little too spunky for my taste, spunk has it's limits 'cause it gets to be fake spunk and it reminds me of me at her age, I'm much more sophisticated now) But not one of you mentioned the history channel, discovery, or CNN - you are indeed depraved and should immediately slap your own faces!
Well, at least none of us mentioned Judge Judy.

Searcher,
I believe you were warned that this site is very addictive! LOL
I soooo look forward to peeking in (about 20 times a day) to see what is happening).
Actually, irt watching t.v. - I probably watch about 5 hours a week MAX. I would much rather read a good book! (watching survivor is non-negotiable, actually!).
My husband and Son watch enough of that "good t.v." for the entire family. Can you say, "gag me with a spoon"? I prefer "la la land". No news, no history, NOOOOOO problems (I'm also a Parot head after visiting Margaretaville in Vegas).
Party on girls!
d.
p.s. I hope MY spunk doesn't offend you! ROTFL!!

Danita,
what's irt, and ROTFL???? And what were you doing in Vegas where it seems you became a Parot head????? And your spunk isn't on TV at least yet, so no, I am not offended. (it really does take quite a bit to offend me anyway)
And also, la la land is definitely a pleasurable place and is to be visited as much as life will allow.
And I WAS warned and chose not to believe -- so much for my convictions.......

Well,
Irt - is military for "in reference to"...
ROTFL = is internet language for "rolling on the floor laughing"
ROTFPMP = rolling on the floor peeing my pants
I was at an Arbonne conference and I stumbled on paradise (margaretiville). I am always threatening to run away there now! I would love to have a boomer babe convention there at maragaretteville - what a hoot that would be! huh, chatty! She'll be our hostesses (if we can get her to step foot on the strip)
"And your spunk isn't on TV at least yet, so no, I am not offended."
I'm so glad...sometimes I feel myself bouncing off the walls of this forum! wooo hoooo!
(it really does take quite a bit to offend me anyway)- Me too Searcher, Me too! (just don't insult me about my children, that's the only thing that puts me in a fighting mood)
"And also, la la land is definitely a pleasurable place and is to be visited as much as life will allow."
I live in la la land for the most part. Its just easier for me! Reality (except on reality t.v.) is just a little...um...too real for me!
"And I WAS warned and chose not to believe -- so much for my convictions......."
Yup, that's how it starts, we reel you in...and the rest is history!
I hope being here has helped your day - hey - you ate choc. cake for dinner - that's a good sign!
hugs, danita

Danita, Quick Writer,
You know, like Dan Light Feather - no offense to my American Indian friends, but even they think I'm funny sometimes , but only because I'm very white (pasty faced) with blue eyes and exceedingly curly hair with some Indian heritage so they think I am an amalgamation and don't really count anyway.....(see, we spent 18 years in North Dakota way up by the Canadian border, where only Indians and Norwegians live and also some really weird Irish/German/French/American Indian folks.)
Well, you are just tooo funny and I am just delighted since the only people I know are really way too serious and frankly drive me nuts - they always take me seriously when I am only trying to lighten a serious situation - how in the world can you go thru life being miserable in a miserable situation?
And yes, it has certainly helped my day, moreover, my convictions that life WILL get better!
More hugs, Searcher

ROTFPMP is the only way I can appreciate good humor since my uterus has made a permanent liason with my bladder. Good insurance would be such a blessing!

I do listen to 1 particular cd over and over and over though! LOL Bach: Concerto for 2 violins in D minor Concerto for violin in E major Concerto for violin in A minor
Picked it up for $1.50 15 yrs ago and just love it! LOL
Don't worry, I throw in a little boot scootin' boggie every once in a while, TEXAS LIVES! LOLOL

My favorites are:
Any crime show - I should have been a forensic scientist. Most of HGTV - I get good ideas for future projects. Animal planet - I watch the dog catcher shows, then can't finish watching because I get too upset. Fox News - but the debating shows are getting old. And when there is a catastrophe, I'm glued to the tv even though I cry and get all depressed. No reality - life is enough reality for me. Plus, don't you think it's all fake anyway? Every now and then I watch Oprah. Sex in the City - I've only started watching after it started playing on reg. cable. Sometimes I cringe - they are all such loose women.

Searcher,
Thank you sooo much for my honorable Indian name. I will use it with pride!
I hope today is an even better day for you then yesterday was. (you know the old saying, "every day above ground, is a great one". LOL)
You said: "ROTFPMP is the only way I can appreciate good humor since my uterus has made a permanent liason with my bladder."
I say: You are soooo funny. A liaison, huh?
I saw this joke and thought of you (hope you don't mind)...it's an (ahem) older woman in a red hat and she's saying...
"multi-tasking...I laugh, cough, sneeze and pee at the same time. That's multi-tasking, right?"
Great, big, joyful, boomer hugs at ya!

(I just got it!) ROTFPMP!

I confess, that Thursday is my favorite nite for TV. I love Survivor, CSI and Without a Trace. I also watch Lost, Medium and that's about it. My husband always has on a sport channel.

All Right,
Ladies, Danita was telling me that ROTFPMP meant rolling on the floor laughing and peeing my pants - when I explained that peeing my pants was the ONLY way I could laugh anymore, she she told me a joke about a woman who could multi - task : Multi - task meaning laugh, cough, sneeze while peeing at the same time.(Thus, MTLCSP) Boy, the day that started, it was like getting my AARP card in the mail for the first time!!! 'member that?
And OK, I must tell you all that I cannot play as much as I have, because I am now unemployed (since losing Nichole) and must pound the pavement to pay the internet bill! But I can always share morning coffee and probably evening thoughts...

Wellll, let's see
Here's a little of my background. I have a BA in Psych (worthless in the employment world without a masters), all my education classes except for student teaching for secondary ed, and a whole lot of credits in sp/lang pathology graduate school. All these are wonderful except at my age, I don't feel it is worth the expense to either finish up with masters in psych or to finish the masters in slp. Sadly, I had to withdraw from that program when Nichole became so ill. And now it's been so many years that I would have to begin nearly at the beginning I fear.
So in the past I was a Nursing Assistant to get me thru' school, a Bank Teller, an office assistant, made reservations for Choice Hotels, ran a residential cleaning service, a Program Coordinator for developmentally delayed, painted interior and exterior houses during summers (carrying around a 100 lb wooden ext. ladder in those days - looked pretty hot by summer's end) and my sister and I poured concrete for her footing business "Jackie Blue and her Concrete Crew". Just to name a few.
Right now I'm getting a little desperate so I might end up working for WalMart. But that's ok too, I would still keep looking for something more suitable.
At this point in my life, tho, I have declared that I will do nothing else again that I don't absolutely love to do. I'll set up a tent if I have to. Or a yurt - the Mongolians do it!
My druthers would be to find something a little offbeat - would like to do something involving history (I have a minor in this), gathering it actually - from oral stories to events long forgotten. I'm thinking I really would like to write but need to buy groceries until that could become a reality. I dislike being enclosed in offices etc. (well, who loves it?) so maybe something involving some travel. Oh, I used to give recruiting speeches to high schools - motivational. I enjoyed that but the college I was working for no longer exists.
So basically, the world is my oyster and I'm just waiting until something really strikes my fancy. I have long term plans to begin an alpaca ranch - self supporting to hire disabled and to make it into a weekend destination spot peddling the alpaca products(some of which are artisan clothing, sofa throws, rugs, etc.) and to supplement with herbs which we grow along with other growing things. Perhaps a little lunch spot and a shop for all our products. But obviously, this is down the road aways.
I would love to work from home right now, but anything in that department requires a bank roll until money begins to come in - so I am thinking for the present, I will just take anything to build up that bank roll so that other things are possible.
To answer your question - ANYTHING for now! Oh, and Dotsie, you probably know by now to be careful when you ask me a question - the response might take you all morning to read!
Thanks for asking Searcher

Searcher, I work from home and I am a manufacturer's representative for an office products co. But there are mfg. reps in all sorts of business, just about any product you see in a store, there is probably a local rep like me who oversees the product. I work on the commercial side so I deal with sales reps who sell our products to businesses, schools, government etc. I train them and make sure they have all they need to promote MY product rather than my competitor's.
Just an idea for you to ponder. It sounds like you would have some of the needed skills.

Searcher, You have done so many different jobs so far......but don't we all!
I was thinking about your teaching and history knowledge and was wondering what the tourism in your area is like.
There are people that like to hire private guides to take them around and tell them about the local sites and history.
Just a thought....
And to add my input about TV, we just have basic cable, and I would just LOVE to have the Food Network, History channel, Comedy channel, HDTV. Sometimes when we travel, the hotels have the special channels, and they are so much fun!
I would love to watch Desparate Housewives, but for some reason when Sunday evening comes around, I am getting ready for Monday, and always forget about it!
So I will probably watch it when they come out on reruns, I do manage to watch Lost.

I got mine from a newspaper ad, but I already had experience in my industry. Here are some companies that may give you some ideas. You can go to their websites and usually they will list job opportunities. For instance, my company is located in Chicago, but there are about 22 people like me covering the U.S.
There are office furniture companies, such as Steelcase, Herman Miller, Krueger, Hon, United Chair, etc. Avery, Hewlett Packard, Bic Pen, 3M, etc.
One friend got an offer from Liz Claiborn. Food companies call on grocery store chains, Quaker, Proctor & Gamble, Coca Cola, Pepsi, 7Up. What about a pharmacuetical company, your experience as a nurse could benefit you there.
I don't have any inside knowledge of these companies, but I do know there are many opportunities you just have to find an opening in your city.

Oh You Girls(notice the girl part)
Are just the best! I'll follow up on all these ideas and see which one comes out on top - but Chatty, how LONG does it take you to do 2800 envelopes? I'm not really sure I have the patience, and then they would end up thrown all over the floor, or out the window? Or even worse, AT someone? I might seem somewhat tame, but after all, I AM Irish.......
But oh, hey, I just saw Hewlett Packard, Daisy, they LIVE here! Their compound is so big they have their own lake. With geese running everwhere and also a tennis court, a baseball diamond, parks, and on and on........I wear Liz Claiborn almost exclusively as I fit into their demographics perfectly (NOT ==I do wear Liz but only because my extemely wealthy friend from high school is the same size I am and buys a seasonal wardrobe 4 times a year and then sends them to me at the end of the season! Bless that girl). Pharmacueticals I would think would take a particular expertise, but you know- maybe not. I just need to check this stuff out. But this is getting to be really fun. I feel like I'm being poked just a little to rouse myself from the grief of Nichole. And that's a good thing - she needs to be where she is and I need to be where I am. So.
And again, thanx Searcher

I like what chatty is doing. she gave me the scoop, but I haven't followed up. June, you made me laugh. something new with my husband is the sound of him entering or exiting a chair. oooh, ow, ugh... I'm mad at him right now because he gets the mail and it turns out he's been deciding if my mail is important or not, and if not he is throwing it away without consulting me. GRRRRR. What is this thread about? LLL

Lynn My husband does that mail thing too- he holds it all in his hand and proceeds to read his stuff and THEn gives me mine- makes me mad if I have a real letter from a friend- whatever happened to real letters anyway? I used to have bunches of penpals and would get letters every day- guess we're just all too busy

Yeah, well, when we get into our house instead of this apartment, I'll be the first to get the mail. I still write snail mail letter. It freaks people out because they think they have to respond in kind instead of email. D, why wouldn't your husband ask you if you wanted to see the paper? Men!

Dotsie,
You are so considerate!
I would love to work in that direction, and I am going to take your advice, and call some ranches in the area to see if there would be anything I could get paid to do there. If not, maybe if I just hang around, something might come up.
But to answer your question, no, I don't have property - alpacas are spendy little devils (reeeeeeally spendy)so that is why this is a long term goal. It is possible that several months down the road, I could take in other disabled adults and that would be a starter toward the ranch. But I will need a larger house and one that is up to code in all respects - hence, down the road. But you know, baby steps.

Lynn,
We're going back and forth on this board all day - ain't it fun?
Did you get my PM?
And yes, I AM thinking of a foundation, or Oprah, or one of those reality shows, Extreme House Makeover or whatever it's called - just got to get my nerve up. (That shouldn't be too hard eh? Nervy little boomer that I am)......
Enjoying your posts

My husband started complaining of neck pain....
I told him that in the evening he fell asleep and his head was bobbing and all. Thought maybe that might be the cause of that pain!
What do you think?

Search, I don't think I got a pm from you. There is me, Lynn 329 and I usually sign Love and Light Lynn or LLL and then there is another Lynn. I wanted to change my user name but the instructions say I can't. I suppose I can and just start over.

This needed to go on another forum...but, I didn't want to interupt the topic...so I post here. Check your drivers license... Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all! Thanks Homeland Security! Privacy, where is our right to it? I definitely removed mine, I suggest you all do the same! Go to the website and check it out. Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement. http://www.license.shorturl.com/

Hahaha! Funny! But on a more serious note, if you type in your phone number on Google search, your address and a map of where you live can be found!! My sister found this out from work, and we all removed ourselves promptly!! Scary!
