I am sitting here on my light blue, faux suede sofa and I am watching Highlander, season one, episode one on my Vunow and thinking about Russell Stover Internationale German Black Forest Truffle chocolates. I was given three pieces the other day and it was DELISH!!!
Today was the annual Community Day. There were tons of vendors. Lisa and I walked around with Bo. He gets so much attention! Every child and adult wanted to pet him! I met a woman who was hawking Tastefully Simple. The company is like Mary Kay or Avon or Tupperware. She almost has me convinced to become an associate! What do you think? Can you see me having parties and selling cake mixes? She told me she makes about $200.00 per party and she does 3 parties a week. She said they’ve been doing even better as a company since the recession because people like to splurge on little items like graham crackers and salsa. Color me curious, I may buy the starter kit.
Did you know that if Buddy Holly were alive, today he would have turned 73-years-old? Here’s a video of him singing Peggy Sue:
I was in Lubbock, Texas three years ago and went through the Buddy Holly Museum. Most young folk don’t
realize how influential this young Texan was in the musical world…even Paul McCartney admits that he stole a few guitar licks from Buddy.
The “secret” to becoming successful in America is to cater to the weaknesses of its citizens. Tasty food at a relatively inexpensive price = possible early retirement. Ever heard of a chain restaurant called Texas Roadhouse?…now there’s a formulaic recipe for sure…very tasty, very fattening fare at reasonable prices served by cute young waitresses. Catering to every weakness! NOW THAT’S AMERICA!!! Couple that operation with an Indian casino and you’ve got it made.
If you are right that Tasty food at a relatively inexpensive price = possible early retirement — Then Tastefully Simple may be the best way to go!!!!
Hey, try this…come up with your own syrupy, sugary, yummy, and patently unhealthy concoction and peddle it from a kiosk at your nearby mall. Nobody goes to a mall’s food court to eat healthy food (what a preposterous idea)…you might just be the next Mrs. Fields or Mrs. Butterworth!
I couldn’t sleep at night knowing that I was contributing to the steady decline of healthy living in America…but the CEOs of Burger King, McDonald’s,
Wendy’s, Arby’s, Starbuck’s, Krispy Kreme, Texas Roadhouse, etc. etc. haven’t lost a moment of sleep.
I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I was force feeding people to eat crap– but it’s still a person’s choice. I can’t remember the last time I ate at any of those places. I choose other options.
