Too Funny

Look! John Travolta visited (he's in the middle) showing us his costume from 'Hairspray.'

(I'm convinced; laughter is the best form of medicine.)

Say What?

Try to read this aloud:

Molli

Coolz!

Well? Does it make sense to you? Say it again… Molli Coolz!

The other night, Jeff and I were glancing around the ice cream section at Smiths, trying to find Milky Way Ice Cream bars (Do they exist?), and I spotted the name of this product… I continuously read it aloud, (aloud with other shoppers surrounding me), as I had no idea why a company would dub their product… Molli Coolz.

The product looked like Dippin’ Dots (or astronaut Ice Cream as I refer to it), which Jeff loves, so he came to check out what the heck this was…

He said it... just once:

Molecules.

Huh?

Yeah- Molli Coolz is Molecules- you know, a particle of substance that is composed of one or more atoms.

Right… Of course. Molli Coolz! is supposed to be the word Molecules…

I was always the last person to see the old lady in the younger lady (with a feather hat) painting. Nor could I, ever, see any of the Magic Eye puzzles. (But, I did a fabulous job of pretending I could.)

I still think it's annoying that a company uses two words to try and create one word... Molli Coolz? Really?

I, still, don't hear it.

America's Favorite Dancer?

Benji- What were you thinking?!

Daytime Drama

Remember when you were in grade school or Junior High, and you had to stay home from school because you were sick?

The entire house was empty, besides Mom running around getting errands done, and you’d settle in front of the TV to rest up- You owned the remote control. Whatever you wanted to watch was completely up to you! This was an especially huge honor for me, since my 5 siblings and I always wanted to watch something different.

Especially during the day, there were fascinating talk shows, soap operas (Yes, I was a ‘Days of Our Lives’ fan thanks to my big brother. I still remember Carly being buried alive- and yet, she survived!), Maury Povich, and Montel Williams… informing the public on fascinating topics. ("You are my baby's daddy!"), and court show dramas, like ‘People’s Court.’

And now that, for the most part, my days are open, rather than work on my Resume or look online for job openings, I am tempted to flip on the TV and escape into the reality that is daytime TV.

So, outside of the always reliable ‘Oprah,’ what other talk shows are on these days?

Come to find out lots of people have talk shows, including Tyra ‘I’m more than a pretty face’ Banks, Megan ‘I used to be on that one funny sitcom’ Mullaly, Ellen ‘The hip talk show host’ Degeneres, and Rachel ‘I love my smile’ Ray. And, guess who’s still talking it up? Yep- Maury and Montel ! Wow, times really haven’t changed.

Today, just to see what was out there, I found these intriguing topics on various talk shows:

• “Dad Kills Twins: The Truth About Depression”
• “Sex Predators & Violent Attacks… Caught on Video!” (It’s the exclamation point that kills me.)
• “Panty Party”
• “Starving for Perfection”
• “Hoarders”
• “Turkey Day Tool Kit”

So, for all of you who are contributing to society, working your 8-5:00 job, let me tell you, you‘re not missing out on much. (And, yes, I know you can always DVR these shows- but, it’s just not the same watching ‘General Hospital’ at 8:43 pm.)

Although, there is always this to look forward to.

Dang, I missed it!
