Janice and I were walking through the mall yesterday, shopping for a birthday gift for my mother.  I noticed a quarter rolling on its side down the walk-way, and I paused and watched with interest to see where it would go.  Maybe by the time I got to it, it would have stopped rolling and I could pick it up!  I’m not ashamed to admit that I pick up coins from the ground!  Before I got to the coin, however, a teenager kicked it away!  I asked the teenager why he didn’t pick it up, and kicked it away instead.  Would you believe his response was “A lousy quarter isn’t worth bending over for!”  Well, if THAT is the attitude of today’s youth, I think we are in sorry shape!

Last July I ordered several items of clothing from a merchant on Ebay.  When they arrived, one was not the size advertised, and one was damaged.  I noticed these flaws AFTER I left positive feedback.  (Note to self, inspect everything carefully before leaving positive feedback!) 

So I contacted the merchant, who told me that he did NOT want me to return them, but that he would replace them.  So I waited a couple of weeks, and asked for a progress report and was told “so sorry, we’ll be shipping them tonight.”  A couple more weeks, and still nothing.  My inquiries to the merchant have now remained ignored, so I am assuming that the merchant has “stiffed” me at this point and has no itention of doing the honorable thing.

There is a product called Capra Flex that claims that it is good for joint health and relieves fibromyalgia.  One of my uncles suffers from fibromyalgia, and my mother is going to order a bottle of this for him and see if it helps relieve his symptoms.  My mother was told about this Capra Flex by one of our neighbors, who swears that it helps her husband. 

Life Coaching Courses can really help someone who is totally clueless about how to get along with others.  In other words, it can help almost everyone I’ve ever met!  A Life Coach can help improve someone’s life IF the client is really open to the prospect of changing their attitudes and behaviors.

I found a new kind of computer mouse that is called a wireless air mouse that I think is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.  I want to buy one, and I found a great deal on one from a website called bestonlinecoupons.com. This wireless air mouse you don’t even have to put on a mouse pad or any kind of surface, you can just wave it in the air!  How cool is that!  The mouse that I have right now is the standard mouse that uses a USB cable to connect to the computer and you have to use it on a mouse pad.  Imagine the freedom I can have if I don’t have to have it connected with a cable and can just wave it in the air!
