I really enjoy and appreciate it when I end up in a waiting room, like at the E.R., and they have a Commercial Satellite TV to offer us poor folks that are usually stuck sitting there for at least 6 hours or more. There is nothing worse than sitting there waiting with nothing to do and nothing to occupy your time but a bunch of old, out dated magazines that are usually coated with all kinds of germs from the hundreds of people handling them with all kinds of nasties on their hands.

I’m noticing that more and more businesses are hooked up with the likes of a DIRECT TV Business Account to keep their customers/clients entertained with a touch of class with a nice large screen TV and plenty of channels to choose from. It’s really a nice change that I’m all for these days. We all spend much of our time in waiting rooms and being able to watch TV is a nice change of pace.

Business Satellite TV is much more affordable these days for most businesses and you can get a quote right online for your business if you feel you have the need to keep your customers happy while waiting. It’s all good!

I have a few friends that ride Harley’s. I love it when I get a good biker joke from any of them via email. This was a good one that I just got today.

A Harley Davidson motorcycle rider is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’ The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.’

The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page… So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’

The biker replies, ‘I’m a U.S. . Marine and a Republican.’ The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.

That pretty much sums up the media’s approach to the news these days.

Something interesting that was forwarded to me in an email today. Words to ponder for the week…….

President Obama just completed an ANTI-AMERICAN TRIFECTA:

·1st president in 110 years to miss the annual Army-Navy Football Game.

·1st president to not attend any Christmas religious observance.

·1st president to stay on vacation after a terrorist attack.

My parents are getting up there in age. A most serious subject, but one that needs to be handled with kid gloves at this point. My brothers and sisters are all ready planning and researching what we will need to do and have done when they no longer can live on their own. For now we are trying to get their house up to speed in order to keep them safe and happy in their golden years.

My sister has looked into getting one of the nice Residential Mailboxes that will have their name and their street numbers printed clearly for the emergency personnel that need to be able to see this type of information if needed. Mailboxes are something that most people don’t really think much about, but in all reality a mailbox performs several functions for the house hold. A mailbox helps us receive our daily mail but also serves as a way to receive assistance from the police, fire fighters and ambulances as well. If they cannot see your address then precious time is lost at a time when every second can make a big difference.

At mailboxixchange.com you can find a good selection of Residential and Commercial Mailboxes at affordable prices. We are all (my brothers and sisters) going to pitch in and purchase one of their mail boxes to give to my folks on their anniversary which is coming up soon at the end of February. It isn’t the most romantic gifts, but one that will hopefully make a difference for all concerned and I’m good with that!
