But you are wrong. I just had some personal business to attend to yesterday and didn’t get any time to even look at my blog. But I am back to the grind today and all I can say is that I very much need a weekend and some rest.
So, who went to orpah’s site this week and got a chicken coupon? Yup, me too. But I heard today that they may not be honoring the coupons right now. The Oprah website says that they are no longer giving the coupons out, but then there is a entry right under that one that says the restaurant will supply you with the paperwork to get a rain check for a meal. This is NUTS. What did they expect was going to happen when they announced they would give coupons for free food, in this economy, on the highest rated talk show catering to women??? We all love something for free… Who doesn’t? I want my chicken.
So speaking of free stuff, Mars corp tried to give free candy bars away starting at &am mountain time today. We set our alarm and got up in time to pee and turn on the computer only to see that the whole site had crashed.. again. Giving away free things during this economy will crash your site.. what are you thinking??? Right now, at 10:30am I am still getting major issues with the site.. so much for a free lunch and candy bar.
And of course I can’t let this gem of a news topic go by without a small acknowledgment.. MANNY TAKING FEMALE HORMONES??? WTF??? I know he’s a bitch, but I didn’t know he was taking pills to be that way. What a cheat. Personally I think if I got caught cheating at my job, whatever that is, I would be fired on the spot.. why not baseball players? I don’t think 50 games is enough (although I am glad the Rockies get to play the Dodgers in a few weeks without Manny) I think he should be kicked out all together and no chance of going with another team in a year.. Let him become a truck driver or something.
If you need something to celebrate today, here’s your list.
Today is No Socks Day. Tom and Ruth Roy of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, urge everyone to conserve laundry energy by not wearing socks
Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day.
Today is World Red Cross Day.
Today is National Coconut Cream Pie Day.
Today is V-E Day, marking Germany's surrender in World War II. It's also Remembrance Day, a time to honor the memories of those who died in World War II, sponsored by the UN.
Today is Liberation Day in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and Victory Day in France.
And the major events that have happened on this day since my time on earth began.
