Breakfast Cereal

I am curious if I am the only one who does this? After I pour a bowl of cereal into the bowl I put the box down next to me at the table. If I have no paper to read, I will read the entire cereal box, from nutritional information to ingredients. I do this every time I eat cereal. I could have the same box of Lucky Charms for a week straight and still read that stupid box every time I eat it........If you ask me to remember what is says......no clue! Somehow when I eat cereal, my brain goes to a far off galaxy where it can't retain information. Does anyone else relate??????

Panburger Partner?

Let me start off by saying that I am a cheap skate. I don't get wrapped up in all of the marketing hype behind name brands. I know just like many of you that most of the same products are made at the same plant and shipped away with two different labels. One name brand and the other "Brand X". So if I see something that is cheaper and looks the same I will buy it. A classic example..... Hamburger Helper. I am a Hy Vee Man. They are by far my favorite super market. Along with Hamburger Helper, they have there own brand called Panburger Partner. Folks, if you look at the ingredients....It's the same thing! You are paying extra for Hamburger Helper's ad campaign. So the next time you are at the store and have a choice between a name brand and "Brand X", save yourself some money and put your pride to the side!

Are those real?

I think I know what it feels like to be a woman with fake
boobs.  How can this be possible? I get asked on a daily basis, "Are
those real?"  Yes they are and thank you.  Of course this comment
is being directed towards my eyes not, my boobs.  It is nice to be
complimented on something......but when that is the only thing you hear, over
and over again.....it gets old.  I know that there are many others of you
out there.  You have the perfect hair, the perfect butt, or something that
everyone always makes a comment on.  It is strange how someone trying to be
nice to you can actually annoy you.
