Here Is To Quick Thinking!

HOW’S THIS FOR QUICK THINKING!

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. “Amazing,” he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a State-Trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and the siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this,” and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 15 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”

The old gentleman paused then said, “Three years ago, my wife ran off with a State-Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.”

 The trooper replied, “Sir, you have a good day.”

No Waiting For Great Rates

It really blew my mind last year when a well known cash advance company came to our town and our city council had a total fit with the bright yellow and bright red paint that they painted the building with, which are the colors that all their other sites utilize in other areas.  This hit the front page of the city paper and had all kinds of people in an uproar for several while deciding what to do about the situation. City council finally decided that they could stay if they re painted the building with a more earth tones, like all the other businesses in the city. So they did and here they stay.

If I needed some type of cash advance, I’d be doing my business online instead of having to go somewhere and wait on people to get around to you and deal with all the paperwork that must be involved. I don’t care what they say, this will never be a paper less world!  The Internet has made taking these trips pointless which Payday Loans and Cash Advances a much easier task these days. Such as the one offers on the video that I have embedded below.

It’s nice to know that Payday One is licensed and based in the United States only. And that they have a “Great Rate Guarantee” along with a 24 hour turn around with no paper! This economy has played havoc on a lot of people’s credit, with Payday One low credit scores aren’t an issue, which is a plus.

I may need to take advantage of a cash advance if my car needs new snow tires this year. I do believe that last year was the last year that I can trust to use them for, and it was a mild winter. I have a feeling that we are in for a wicked winter this year and I want decent snow tires to keep me and any passengers safe on the roads.

Heat Wave

This weekend was a scorcher, the high nineties all the way. It wasn’t really a problem, since I was at the beach and had access to the water and the air conditioner when needed. But now that the week has started, it is really becoming a bummer. The air conditioning in my car isn’t really up to speed and I’m suffering the whole way to work and back again.

Hopefully by the end of the week it will tone down just a bit. It is August, we expect it to be hot, but come on……………

An Oldie But A Goodie

I heard this joke years ago in junior high. When I received it in an email, it put a grin on my face and wanted to share it here.

A young boy had just gotten his driver’s permit and inquired of his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he’d make a deal with his son.

“You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut, and we’ll talk about the car”.

The boy thought about that for a moment and decided he would settle for the offer and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, “Son, I’ve been real proud. You brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying the Bible, but I’m real disappointed you haven’t gotten your hair cut”.

The young man paused a moment and then said, “You know, Dad, I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there’s a strong argument that Jesus had long hair.”

To this the father replied, “Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?”

National Vacation Day – A Petition To Ponder & Sign

I would imagine that just about everyone would be excited about having August 7th being proclaimed as a National Vacation Day. There is a petition going around on the Internet that is inviting us to join the movement to Save Our Summer Vacation that will be submitted to Congress soon. My best friend just sent me the link to Blog.homeaway.com asking me to look it over and participate in.  When you visit the site you can also enter a contest that could possibly get you $10,000 to put towards a getaway to the vacation rental of your choice. HomeAway Vacation Rentals, it sounds good to me. I could certainly do with a good vacation.

If I had my choice of a dream vacation destination I would have to choose Ireland. I have always been fascinated with Ireland’s colorful history and green has always been my favorite color! A land far a way, with a whole different type of culture, but the language barrier would be easy enough to handle, to a point. I think that I am at an age where learning a whole new language would be quite a challenge and I’m really not up to that at this stage. I would never dream of going some where and not to be able to communicate with the people.

These stressful times can take their toll on us, and good getaway can do wonders for the mind, body and soul. We all need a break now and then. If you are looking for a way to find good vacation deals, I suggest checking out Homeaway.com and see what they can offer you and yours. I urge you to urge your friends and family members to sign this petition as well and see what the power of the pen can do for us all.
