What is Madison Avenue doing to my Colonel Sanders???

First, they have him doing that creepy dance with Mrs. Butterworth and I have to wonder where Mr. Butterworth was when this was happening. Has Mr. Butterworth been working too many hours and neglecting Mrs. Butterworth? Poor Mrs. Butterworth has not had a new dress or hairstyle in generations and maybe the temptation of a little dirty dancing with a gallant military man in her kitchen was just too much for her to resist. OK, that I can understand but this new commercial with the Colonel as a Magic Mike, Chippendale type dancer is just wrong. MY Colonel Sanders is a pudgy, chicken frying, grandpa kind of guy not a dancing hottie with six-pack abs. That vision is just jarring to my senses. Please bring my sweet, Southern, soft-spoken, front porch rocker, grandchildren holder Colonel back, Mrs. Butterworth and I miss him.

Almost a car wash...

Well, that was interesting. Stopped by my favorite car wash, choose the same package I always do..the one that gives extra attention to the interior and wheels. Happened to choose a seat inside by the window where you can watch your car go by on the conveyer belt. I noticed the hangy down spongey things weren't moving like they usually do, there was only a tiny drizzle of water and then I noticed the spray station for RainX didn't come on until my car was already outside. Hmmm, so I politely pointed out the situation to the attendant (who never looked up from his phone) and his reply was, ”Yeah, that happened yesterday a couple of times. Want us to try again?”  Ya think??? Well, actually I said yes, please. Good night nurse. Did he think I brought my car in to be baptized? Well, it is Sunday.  Definitely could have been worse...

Small town Halloween

Image
I was chatting with an old friend from Kingman on Facebook yesterday and she reminded me of memories I had forgotten (blocked out?) especially about Halloween. Halloween was so much fun back then especially if you lived in a small Midwest town. The businessmen of Kingman had a costume parade with prizes and everybody and their dog came to town for that event. There were booths with candy apples, popcorn, apple cider, several games, and candy....all free. Even Main Street was closed for the celebration. OK, we can all agree that was a fun night we all looked forward to but my favorite Halloween memories are the nights we 'freelanced' so to speak. My friend who shall remain nameless (Gail Page Clingan) and I decided we were too old (and we were) to trick or treat but we weren't too old to throw corn and soap windows. We also weren't too bright. Mary Johnson was one of our favorite teachers but boy howdy was she strict! She treated us all like her own children and if we ne...

I guess this post could be considered PG.....but not really.

It's about underwear, whooptido. We all wear underwear and if you don't then you were just not raised right. According to my Grandma, only pureD trash does not wear underwear but I would LOVE to hear her opinion on this pair. I can think of at least a million other things I would rather spend money on than new underwear. However, it is time...and I thought, hmm, instead of buying my trustworthy, dependable, durable, not made of burlap but close WalMart underwear maybe I should branch out into some color, pastel print. Something feminine. Before venturing into the store I decided to Google pretty underwear. Uhhhh.....this is what I got. Is it pretty? Yes, the colors and print are very pretty but by the time I got all those ribbons where they belong the day would be over. So, thank you Google and I do appreciate the input but no thank you and I am on the way to the WalMart old lady underwear department!
