JUMBO HAMBURGERS AND OTHER OVERSIZED FOODSTUFFS
There ought to be a law! Have you noticed that just when you and your significant other get settled in front of the TV for an evenings viewing, (That is from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM) they start with the fast food advertisements? No one without a supercharged metabolism should have to view these advertisements. The close-ups of hamburgers, chicken wings, fruit pies, and other foods are designed and do succeed in making us both hungry. Never mind we just finished a full dinner. Never mind we are both way overweight. Never mind that neither of us is going to leave our cozy home to buy the proffered foodstuffs. We, having seen a 35-inch wide hamburger are hungry. And of course, we end up eating something. Not the hamburger, but whatever is fast in our own kitchen. Chips, cookies, ice cream, leftovers, even nuts soon pass our lips to become our newest layer of fat. It should be against the law to advertise food on TV after 8:00 PM. Toothpaste commercials, cloths washing detergent, under arm deodorant, even a vacation at Disney World ad is welcome, just stop with the food ads after 8:00 PM. Well that’s all I have to say about the matter.
OK, WHERE ARE THE COMMENTS?
You know, I am getting discouraged. I know there are folks who have looked at this Blog, cause they tell me so, but except for one lost young fellow who was looking for articles on Red Hat computer language, not the Red Hat Society, I have had no comments recorded. Even my son, who now has started his own Blog, I know has looked at my Blog, but has not left a comment. Joe, who has a lot to say about everything and anything, sometimes until one just, wants to yell “SHUT UP” (though not frequently, I love to hear him talk, he is soooo smart, and composes and plays wonderful music on the piano as well. :-) apparently has nothing to say. Come on, someone say something!! Please.
IT’S FOR SALE
Well, we finally listed our old house for sale. Century 21 got our listing. You can see our house on Flo Abke’s web site. Flo thinks it will be hard to sell our house, because it is a buyers market right now, but I hope not. We have put a lot of money time and effort in the house over the years.
For those of you who have not seen our house and who might be interested in moving to Eastpointe, Michigan, here are some of the features of the house.
Two story brick colonial on large tree filled corner lot.
Newer tear down roof, gutters, downspouts. Modern storm windows throughout.
Newer forced air furnace and whole house air
2300+ sq ft above ground living space
400 square foot-finished rec room with sink in basement
Basement Laundry room has both gas and electric dryers
New washer and two dryers stay
Storage room with cedar closet in basement.
Another small room in basement could be used for storage or office.
Built in workbench and storage by furnace.
4 bedrooms all with walk in closets
2 full baths, one with jetted tub and separate shower- with offset bathroom exhaust fan in both baths
2 half baths (one on first floor, one in basement)
Eat in kitchen with built in ovens, stovetop, exhaust fan and dishwasher, garbage disposal, and water filter faucet.
Fireplace in large living room.
Library alcove
Formal dining room
Three season Florida room
Large deck out from sliding glass door in Florida room.
2-½-car garage with storage room attached.
Fenced in back yard with tree swing, bird feeder and fruit trees.
Our home was built by the first doctor to practice in Eastpointe, and has a lot of the extras available in 1937. Cove moldings, wide windowsills, some made of marble, plaster walls of course, etc. The doctor sold the home in 1960 to a family with 7 children, who were all teenagers or older when they sold the house in about 1980 to a small family with only two children. They were transfered out east before they had a chance to fill up the house with children. We bought the house in 1983 and eventually raised four children. With all the children grown and all but one gone, it is now time for us to move on. We have enjoyed living in this home and raising our family, now it is someone elses turn. Will it be you?
