Wow, the red and blue definitely add some snazzy pizzazz to this loafer.
Makes me want to do some walking, indeed. ;-)

Sleep Apnea and Respiratory Disorders
You can get full face, nasal mask (2 versions), or nasal "pillows".
How does one choose? I guess your doctor knows.
Looks challenging to try and sleep with these, but I guess you may have to do what you have to do.
At least, there are therapeutic options these days, and hopefully many more in the future for all the illnesses out there! ;-)

Duracell Vs Energizer Showdown
Which one wins?
The whisper is that Duracell beats Energizer close to 2 to 1 for most things.
Whether or not that's true, the Energizer rabbit "keeps going and going" while the Duracell is copper-topped.
Copper? Bunny? Bunny is cuter! ;-)

Scary Model of Cancer
At first I wasn't even sure what it was.
Looks like a stomach.
What are those globs?
Oy, they represent malignant tumors (from what I understood reading the fine print).
Really makes it hit home when you see it in front of you on display like that.
So much suffering from illnesses like cancer.
G-d should have mercy.
We really need to find "the cure!"
Imagine what a day that will be. ;-)

Rainbow Card Display
Instead of postcards in the display holder, they put colored glass.
Then just let the sun shine in and look at the awesome wall display.
Might be fun to swap around to get different patterns and blends.
As a kid, I always used to turn the display to see what just around the bend, in this case you get the disco effect.
Color and light play nice together. ;-)

Cheesecake Heaven
This was an awesome display of the varieties of it at the Cheesecake Factory.
I remember my mom used to make a pretty darn great cheesecake (and a lot of other good food)!
I still can see the graham cracker crust with the sweet hot creamy cheese filling coming out of the oven.
Unfortunately one of the conundrum of life is that all the good tasting things are so darn fattening and bad for us.
I think though if they can make fake burgers like Beyond that taste like the real thing, then surely at some point they will figure out how to make a skinny cheesecake that tastes good.
There are still some mysteries left in this universe for us to unravel. ;-)

Black Thursday For Shopaholics
So Black Friday Shopping extravaganza that used to happen the day after Thanksgiving has now turned into Black Thursday mega-shopping on Thanksgiving Thursday.
The huge Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida is open 10 AM to 1 AM!
The mall was packed with people and the deals were pretty fantastic.
Under Armour was 50% off!
True Religion was buy 1 get 1 free!
Almost every store seemed to be 1/2 price off already reduced prices.
What I liked in this video I took here was the WOW! display around the entire entrance to this Century 21 apparel store.
Watch the whole thing...it is really cool what they did with this frontage real estate for this store.
Great job on the marketing and very inviting!
So lots of compulsive shopping, but not so much turkey today. ;-)

Terrible TV
That's exciting, right?
We brought it home from Costco.
And we gave our prior model away to a family member.
It was a shlep to move that $2,000 Panasonic behemoth from 2007!
By the time we got back home and connected our new LG TV, oy vey what a disappointment.
It had this brilliant display in "test mode" that when hooked up to the cable box looked dark and worse than lackluster.
Even when fidgeting with the settings to offset the dark screen, the gorgeous test display mode still came out looking like crap in actual tv mode.
But the worst part was that there was a black line down the middle right of the screen.
When we looked it up on the Internet, it was a known error.
The instructions said to call LG and make a service appointment.
WTF! To heck with this sh*tty TV--it's supposed to be brand new and actually work--so it's going back to Costco where this crappy product came from.
I dragged this widescreen TV back to the store and put it on one of their flat wide carts.
The problem was that the wheels on one side of the cart were busted, and it kept turning into the fence, store shelves, and wall.
When the lady behind the returns desk called me for my turn, I tried to push the cart and it wouldn't move.
Not being able to budge this thing, I gave it shove forward and the TV went flying from upright to horizontal--SMASH!
The lady behind the returns counter goes to me sarcastically:
"So what was wrong with it BEFORE you just knocked it over???"
Well to make a long story short, I returned the lousy LG television and got a refund.
And instead ordered a new Samsung curved TV from Amazon--hope this one works!
As for the horrible quality control of today's electronics--it's a shame that they can't seem to make them without problems--they've only been making televisions for like 100 years or so.
In fact, we recently bought a Dell laptop and within like 5-6 weeks, the motherboard died.
As you can see, the vendors are wringing profits from the products they are making at the customer's expense.
There is no quality control to speak of--instead be ready to return the junk electronics to the garbage vendors that make them. ;-)

Some People Got Money
This one is a lovely two-tone 2016 Rolls Royce.
At just a measly $384,025!
Honestly, the car looked awesome.
This was no Hyundai or Yugo.
The thing looked like a tank of art on wheels.
What is amazing is that such an expensive car is on display in the mall...I mean who is the demographic they are trying to appeal to for this?
Well maybe it's not that bad, since another sign advertises a lease option for just $3,469 per month plus tax for 48 months with $30,000 due at signing...so that still runs you over $50K per year to drive this thing.
Well I guess if you earnings millions, what's the big deal anyway!
And out of curiosity, as of 2009, almost a quarter million IRS filings (people and households) show earning of that much or more...nice for them, huh. ;-)

Keeping Organized
And behind the cash register is this closet.
The cashier goes to the closet to get something and leaves the door open.
The closet, especially compared with the rest of the upscale clothing store, is really a mess.
But at the top, hanging is a yellow sticky note.
And the note says, "Keep Organized".
The first shelf with some binders isn't too bad.
But then as you get further away form the reminder to keep organized, it gets worse and worse.
Office supplies, hand creams, napkins, sprayers, and more, all sort of thrown in there.
I was surprised not to see someone's leftovers from lunch. (lol)
And then on the door itself are all these taped up reminder papers and old used tape with papers long torn off still hanging there.
I don't think this is the image or brand this store wants to convey.
The funny thing is that out on the floor, the salespeople were working on all the fancy displays and using these corporate design books that show them exactly what to lay out, where, and how.
Then again, what's visible and skin deep doesn't always represent what's beneath the surface.
Like politics, if you knew how the sausage was made, you'd probably never eat it.
Maybe some things are better left behind closed doors. ;-)
