Yep that is what I said!
Why the kids use that expression, and do they have an exclusive on that?
No, I don’t think so.
For us oldies but goodies it means the same thing to relax and kick back.
The willing part is just me being a wee bit silly tonight since our local station is running one of those contests to win a battery digital seven inch color TV for emergencies and I finally got into the game today to enter it.
Waiting is like any waiting one might do, and so far no news is not such good news, since winners are contacted daily, and so far I haven’t heard a thing.
They notify you by email or by calling and nope not a thing….yet!
And this game is on for the next two months, but the difficult part is you must watch and listen from five A.M. to seven A.M every weekday morning until June fourth!
I do watch the news every morning and on that particular channel, NBC out of Ft. Myers, but my times of waking up fluctuate.
I have a wild wake up schedule from the wee hours like three A.M. to as late as eight A.M.!
So you can see my problem the word given is randomly said and shown during those two hours!
I just went to their site and sadly, no it wasn’t me today!
But I do have some time as long as I get those words daily!
Most people are probably wondering why I am so competitive for such a small item that probably isn’t all that expensive, but oh contraire they do go for more than a hundred bucks in some brands. The fun is in winning I suspect since I don’t really know though since I could probably count on one hand how many times that I have won something over the years. The other reason I would like to win is because the contest is going right into the beginning of our hurricane season being that it ends on June fourth, and the season begins on the first of June, and usually by then the stores have all sold out!
I know now that you are all saying; what’s the big deal?
Well, our little battery TV that I used during the Hurricane Charley hours was the reason I knew what to do and when to do it!
And it won’t work now due to it not being a digital TV its junk now thanks to that modern better gem of an idea called digital TV!
I know you are all saying battery radios work for us now still and are for that too!
But I am still a very visual, hands on type of learner, and it was good to see just where it was and when it was coming here, got it?
I do believe that that little TV may have saved our lives!
On that note of you all hopefully cheering me on in this venture I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
PS So far no oil or smells here ….yet!
We are way far south of all that being here in south west Florida, but we are on the Gulf of Mexico quite south of where the spill actually is!
Let’s hope they fix the problem before it does its worse.
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
