Not sure what they mean by:
Not just a lipstick visit
I've heard of lipstick on a pig, but never on a dog!
Playing dress up with a dog?
As they say, only in America. ;-)

Now That's A Deck Chair
August 2, 2020
Overpriced Desk Chairs
They had this nothing of a chair called the Harborside for almost $500. I was looking for 2 chairs, so that would've been a whooping $1,000 almost.
After a while on their web page, a chat box came up asking if I needed any help.
It was funny because the guys name was Jake, as in the commercial, "Hi, this is Jake from State Farm!"
Anyway, I must've been annoyed at their ridiculous prices and I had this farce of a dialogue with Jake.
Jake: Hello, We see you are checking out. Can we help in any way?
Me: trying to download a 25% off coupon...can you assist?
Jake: We don't have any coupons or discount codes.
Me: Just overpriced then. {smiley}
Me: Why do you charge so much for such cheap merchandise?
Jake: It's grade A teak which is the highest quality grade you buy but go on.
Me: It's a tree! Why should I pay $1000 for 2 small desk chairs. There is plenty of tweak in the forest for free!
Me: Can you explain?
Jake: *Teak. You're more than welcome to grow your own forest and make these but you'll have to move to a warmer climate. You can educate yourself better with our guide here [and he attached a link].
Me: Hmmm. Would you pay $1000 for thee little wooden chairs.
Me: Also, I'm pretty educated. TY
Jake: Yes, I have 4 on [my grandmother's porch]
Me: You didn't pay $2000 for 4 chairs for your grandmother's porch. NO WAY! I bet you got a big employee discount.
At which point, the chat box quickly bleeped off the screen!
Jake from State Farm...you didn't really buy 4 chairs for your grandmother for $2000 did you??? ;-)

Parachute Running
Sprinting with a parachute on for added resistance.
Add in the hot, humid, summer sun burning down.
And you have yourself a decent exercise routine going on.
Hurry up and slow down.
You run yes, but the parachute says no.
Go! go!! go!!!
You're almost over the finish line. ;-)

Helping The Elderly
Someone playing ball with an elderly lady in a wheelchair!
Too often, I think we forget or neglect the older, disabled, and disadvantaged population.
These were once the people who cared for us!
As we grow older, life can get so much harder in terms of health, disability, finances, and even loneliness.
It is so important to show compassion, kindness, and care for the people who need us, and not to forget anyone along the journey of life! ;-)

Peace To All Mankind!
It's a solemn day on the Jewish calendar when we commemorate so many terrible events that happened in our history.
We have to remember the lows, but also pray for G-d to bring us ever back to the highs.
Peace, health, prosperity, and happiness.
It all comes from the One Above!
May G-d have mercy on us and bestow only blessings for good times to come. ;-)

I guess we don't waste much in a dog eat dog world!
The poor cow is tasty to eat, but what did she do to any of us? ;-)

Wow, Not Bad For A Toy
Design is an art, whether for cars, homes, fashion, and more.
Those that get design right make things not only functional, but incredibly beautiful.
And when function and design come together in perfect harmony that is no toy! ;-)

Planning Ha Ha
So in retrospect, in 2015, not a single person got the answer right to 'where do you se yourself 5 years from now?'
Where you gonna be in 2020?
Stuck at home for almost the entire year!
But you are a fortune teller and are so smart you should've rolled your dice in the ever exploding bubble of a stock market.
Oh, that's right, you did! ;-)

That's doggie good statistics to avoid the Coronavirus plague.
People can learn just like dogs. ;-)

My Blue Thumb
I got a new spray bottle from Home Depot and I put the Fantastic cleaner it in.
Thinking about the new bottle, I accidentally picked it up to water the plants.
I sprayed the cactus and immediately realized what I had done!
Oh sh*t! I just poisoned my cactus. So quickly, I poured water in to try to dilute it.
I thought to myself how the plant would react and I imagined how a person would react if they drank Fantastic.
Sure enough within a couple of days the cactus was reeling.
But I think a person could probably recover if it wasn't too much, so I'm hoping the cactus will too. ;-)

Bucket List
I replaced an almost 16-year old 4Runner with a new car that I had been eyeing for some time.
I never thought I would actually get the new car, but I am so very grateful to Hashem!
My father used to say:
It's just something to get you from here to there!
And he was right, but it was still nice to replace the old clunker. ;-)

PTSD Gets Around
The Jewish people are a nation recovering from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), where memories of trauma flood our national psyche and can trigger emotional (and even physical) symptoms. Whether fear of the next “evil decree” against the Jews, to another pogrom of crazed rapists and killers rampaging through a Jewish town, or even of genocide itself, the Jewish people have known plenty of deep-seated persecution and have to deal with the accompanying fear and anxiety of being the quintessential “strangers in a strange land,” almost everywhere in the world and over a very long period of history.
PTSD is very real not only for our suffering veterans, and for individual people that have been sexually abused or experienced physical violence, but it can also be a national psychiatric disorder based on collective trauma that affects our mood, anxiety levels, and behavioral reactions to events. Suffering from exile, persecution, and helplessness from thousands of years does not go away in a generation or even a century. It is a long road for our national recovery where we can learn to once again live healthy and productive lives absent from the fear and anxiety of another bad Tisha B’Av.

Homemade Self-Defense
This is what the future for protection of innocents in this country looks like?
If you take away legitimate police and their efforts to protect citizens then this will force people to buy, build, and use even more weapons in their own self-defense.
Anarchy, chaos, lawlessness, and the wild west will be sure to take over as the new normal.
We don't need more out of control gunslingers, gangs, and vigilantism battling for our streets.
Reform the police, protect the innocent people, and put the bad guys away. ;-)

Missing Florida Vacations
Just missing getting out and down to Florida for a little vacation.
The palm trees. The sun. The beach. A little fun.
This isn't forever, right?
Hopefully, let's pray, Covid will be over and we can live again in freedom and without fear of contagion every moment of every day, day, day. ;-)

Don't Lose Your Head
Woman are notorious in the Bible for taking men’s heads—and I mean taking them!
The great news is that women are awesome fighters, the bad news is that your head is a very valuable thing to lose.
