The Bag Lady

I’m a Will Smith fan. He’s currently making a movie sequel, “Bad Boys for Life”, the original not one of my favorites, but I am looking forward to “Suicide Squad 2”. I know what you’re thinking, I am too old to like this type of movie, but seriously, I like humor and action and this has both. “Bright” was also enjoyable. He is a versatile actor and never gets stereotyped into a particular role. This day’s choice is “Enemy of the State” which makes you think twice about using any electronic device. This is the second movie I watched this weekend (also watched “Kill the Messenger” based on a true story, starring Jeremy Renner) that drives you insane with frustration.

I am not a fan of commercials. When playing online games I turn the sound off. Online games have tons of them, some disgusting, and I just set the phone down and don’t watch.

Today, one that I had a chuckle over because the product looked like something I could use. I turned the sound on to hear the spiel. I just started smiling because of how many times he said “okay”. And I love listening to accents.

Have you seen it? What do you think?

I’ve heard complaints

More than a few

Of WP fails

For me and you

Admit I haven’t seen too much

But this morning felt the touch

I attest that Murphy’s law

Came to visit just because

I spoke too soon.

SoCS – JuJoJa 19

$300 can you imagine? And the one channel you “saw” was covered in snowy black and white fuzz. That didn’t stop my dad from watching it, though as the “fights” came on every Saturday night, I think? Being a dairy farmer with 200 acres to maintain, plus a full time machine shop employee, I think this price was probably exorbitant with his salary. The only thing I remember new in our home was a car, every two years or “when the ashtray was full” as he put it. Being a Lucky Strike three pack a day man, I doubt that was true. Of course he smoked in the car, but his passengers did not eat, drink or talk when he drove. Pretty much the rule at dinner also, except for the eating part.

I admired his abilities, farming, working, and all the time and dedication he put into it, just like my mom also worked, constantly in our home. I doubt she ever watched tv.

I tried to find actual salary rates for a machinist in 1950 but failed. I know his shop made casings for bombs etc. because it was scary thinking of it as a child. I did find this:

This is choppy, I apologize. The editor and the website are giving me fits! Have a good weekend!!

A gorgeous place. Went there for dinner in September for my birthday a few years ago. The raindrops froze on the tree branches, stars gleaming, beautiful!
