Hope going blonde doesn't effect the girl's grades!

Isn't blond masculine and blonde feminine? Some grammar nazi pointed that out to me the other day when I tried to make a blond joke.

My wife got the hair change, not my daughter. I have no idea on the spelling of blond, blonde, etc.

Vitamins...

The other day the lady I get the filters from for my water purifier system tried to get me into those Melaleuca based on the vitamins.

Now I've always kinda been into vitamin supplements because my parents were. Mom took Nutrilite double X basically from from before what I was born until she passed at 95. My parents got into it because it was the only thing Mom could do to keep her from having alergic reactions to everything. When they started it was Nutrilite vitamins and the cosmetics and soaps and stuff. Then Amway (involved in Nutrilite) bought out Nutrilite and my partents got involve in it to keep Moms Nutrilite double X. My partnets only sold Nutrilite products then Amway enough to help pay for the Nutrilite Vitamins and cosmetics Mom used (the cosmetics didn't bother her alergies when others she tried did).

Because my parents were involved they went to both Nutrilite and Amway sales meetings and my parents were good friends with the people that were their distributors. Being the little kid hanging around I overheard a lot of stories about people taking Nurtrilite. Various stories of cancer a lumps going away while taking it, and coming back when they quit. And they were people we knew not just some testimonial.

The founder of the company I work for also took Nutrilite and said it was because there was no way in today's available food you could get all the nutrients you needed. He lived to be 96.

Anyway told Miss Melaleuca that if I was going to get into selling stuff to support my vitamin habit I would hock Amway because their vitamins were much better. She didn't agree. So go on the internet and found Nutrilite doubleX was rated 6th with a value rating of 8.3. The value rating was for quailtiy and the ability of your body to use the vitamins. Melaleuca was rated 20th with a value of 5.5. The study claimed anything under 8 was not worth using.

Because of this I decided to try the number 1 rated supplement with a value of 9.5. Made by a company called Xtend-life and you don't have to become some kind of distributor or sell other things to get a discount you can just buy it. It's about the same price as I've been paying for Nutrilite.

Anyone heard of Xtend-life vitamins and supplements?

Good Sunday to ya!

She's not THAT blonde.

Nice looking day here although they are calling for storms later.

The new Infinitis seem to be pretty nice but I can't overlook that front end.

Girl I know posted some artist's work on facebook that was all done by arranging pebbles, stones, and rocks. Mostly smooth river rocks.

Made the comment that the artist was obviously a stoner.

Ha ha ha, was told that I was NOT funny. Too close to home maybe? Told her to "Rock on."

This politically correct stuff is getting out of control! If it offends someone to refer to an artist that makes pictures out of pebbles a stoner, shesh, If you make pictures with paint you are a painter.

Was once asked if I was offended by racial jokes, replied "Not as long as they are about minorities." The guy cracked up and forgot the joke he was going to tell.

Uh, no.

I do like that M3 in the pic, though. My best friend had one just like except he had the Motorsport Lightweight wheels on his. He bought the silver one after he totaled the blue one a week after I bought our 911. We were NOT racing on the back roads when it happened! We just chose to be on the same stretch of road at the same time when he over corrected on a turn and rolled it into a yard.

He was in front of us. As we crested the hill just before the corner we saw dust and then the car flipping. He rolled twice and landed on the wheels against a telephone pole. Ooh, that's ironic because he works for AT+T. The only injury was a sprained thumb. I think the pain of having to advise his wife was more.

There was a local guy here with a BMW active at our autocrosses that went on some of our spirited drives. He seemed to always over cook a corner somewhere along the route and lose it. Only a couple of times did he mess up his car though. He stopped hanging with the PCA after he got a BMW bike. Hope he is still alive.

Nice, understand that area is real purdy like.

Also understand you will get you fill of seeing sheep.

Not that I'm one to talk, never crossed a continental USA border. Not even Canadia or Mehico. Been on an Island off coast of GA, and Texas, both was connected by bridge but both still USA.

Don't know the difference between Lexus and Infinity, except on is Toyota and the other is Nissan. Guess it's Lexus that has the funky grill then.

Welp looks like i'm making my first trip to the Good Will donation center in the morning to start getting rid of the Mom junk. Could probably sell some of it, but sure takes a lot of time and trouble. Understand they even take styrofoam and our recycling doesn't. Probably be a couple of trips and will have room to park 2 Cayennes in the garage!

Anybody want and Angel collection?
or if I decide to redo my kitchen/dining decor, Chickens! Funny thing is don't really like chicken that much. Than again have no propensity towards home decorating so tend more towards just leaving it like it is.
