JUST SOME RANDOM STUFF

What is going on these days, Blogger Buds? I don't know or even remember what in the heck I've been doing, but it sure hasn't been blogging(lol)  I had to end a friendship with someone when he casually mentioned that "he could take my ***t anytime he wanted". I won't bore you with my response or my feelings on verbal abuse when he "apologized" by saying it was just a joke. Ain't nobody got time for that!


Moving on, I should mention that YouTube is perfect for FREE exercising, and I decided to go old school with Jane Fonda and Kendall Hogan from Exercise TV. Without changing any of my eating habits, or giving up my cheeseburgers, managed to lose 19 pounds in just a month. 


I can feel all those congratulatory air pats on my back right now, and I thank you.(lol)  


Here's a secret that's not well known.  You can sell your merchandise on the Walmart website, marketplace.walmart.com  AND because they've partnered up with THREDUP you can purchase discounted pre-owned designer clothing  too!  Pre-Owned - Walmart.com

If you're an eBay shopper and want to save even more money, visit www.nobids.net/no-bid-search, then select your country and do a search for what you want.  You'll find all the listings that no one has bid on, or bids that are ending soon, allowing you to get the best deal possible.

Did you know that I Love Lucy started in 1951 and ended in 1957?  We still enjoy the very funny reruns on some CBS.com, the Hulu Network, Hallmark Channel,  and MeTV.   My favorite episode was The Candy Factory, and I still laugh at this today.  We know Lucille Ball as being this really funny lady, but she also spent time contributing to the women's movement and was vocal in her support of gay rights. 


Sadly, Lucy and Desi's  only great granddaughter Desiree Anzalone died of stage 4 breast cancer at just 31 in Connecticut on September 27, 2020.  Lucy died of an ruptured abdominal aorta  in 1989 when she was 77,  and Desi died from lung cancer in 1986. 

If you're not taking medication for hypertension, researchers say that eating just one grapefruit each day will cut your food cravings by 45% AND you can get rid of 12 pounds in a year!


Are you that person who's always eager to hook up family members and friends with that "perfect" date, and they dread it when you call?  If so, now you can actually get paid to work with strangers and leave your friends alone!(lol)  Go ahead and apply to be a matchmaker  at https://www.tawkify.com/apply/


Everybody's taking pictures these days from their phones or cameras, so why not get paid, right?  A great site to try that's super easy is https://www.eyeem.com/sell-your-photos.   


Did you know that 4 teams in the NFL franchise have never played in the Super Bowl?  The Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, and the Jacksonville Jaguars have gone into the history books.





Were you aware that Walt Disney dropped out of high school when he was 16 and tried to join the Army.  When they rejected him for being too young, he ended up getting a job as as ambulance driver.

Would you visit Mortimer at Disney World?  Thank Walt's wife, Lillian for changing the name to who we all now know and love as Mickey Mouse.


Potatoes may show up on Idaho license plates, but did you know that they're not native to the state?  Idaho is actually home to 75% of the United State's trout, and having it fried is considered their signature dish.

Get Netflix for FREE by signing up for 15 or 30 days, or if you have T-Mobile, get the Magenta Family Plan and it's included. Then call your best friend or watch some of these programs by yourself to take your mind off everything that's going on in the world right now. Don't forget to unplug when you can.

    3. I was scammed by cityinvestgp, I got a message from a trader on my Instagram and told me about how high their profit after investing was, I decided to invest in the online trade but they kept asking for more money including withdrawal fee and it was until then I realized I was being scammed.

I had to make a research on how I could recover my funds from them and I came across the website REMOTESPYTECH (@) GMAIL COM after so many searches. I read several good reviews about the website from various scam victims they have helped and I decided to contact the website admin for help.

  2. I'm all for exercising, but in my case it does nothing to weightloss. I have to watch my diet and sleep the 7-8 hours daily. They say running helps, but at my age, perhaps at any age ,it's risky.

  3. Congrats on the 19lbs loss. I found them!
    I am not clear as to what this"friend" said but I understand walking away from a toxic relationship or if you tell them and they still don't get it, to walk away. I've done that a lot in the last 10 yrs. I don't have time for the toxic.
    I watched an I Love Lucy the other day. Desi put Lucy over her knee and smack her ass because she was a bad wife, didn't listen and do as told. I don't recall those and I saw 2 of them in the same week. WOW, 60+ years ago this was considered a normal thing. Wow is all I can say.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Making a nasty comment like that was crazy, and definitely no need for toxic or abusive peeps. I lost all respect for Desi because he was a serial cheater, and she said her marriage was a nightmare when she filed for divorce. Always love when you stop by 💕

  4. It's sad when one has to end a relationship, but sometimes it would just feel wrong to continue it. Sometimes you realize it never was what you thought it was.

    Congratulations on the weight loss. That's quite an accomplishment, however you do it.

    I'll have to look into the grapefruit thing.

    I would never be any good as a matchmaker. It's hard enough finding the right person for oneself, never mind someone else.

    Potatoes originated in Peru, so it stands to reason they're not native to Idaho.

    That's quite a fierce pumpkin. I assume the honkin' huge spider has mistaken it for Mike Pence and is looking for the fly.

    1. As you know, I'm a champion for the domestic violence or any type of abuse, so when I see it or experience it, it has to be called out, and you're right it's best to move on when it isn't what we thought. It was more fun than I thought because they are interesting and easier cardio, but still fat burning. It was even better because I didn't really change my eating habits that much, just upped my activity. I'm not sure I'd be good at matchmaking either. I think there's a certain art to it. My granddaughter is artsy and loves this time of year so much. That spider sure was an unexpected surprise(lol) Hugs, RI

    2. It's actually been the other way around for me -- cutting out all the animal stuff and junk food was easier than spending a lot of time on exercise would have been, and I find I don't miss them. But whatever works for each person.

      RI? Even the letter O has slimmed down!:-)

      Delete
    3. Kudos to you for getting rid of junk food. Yes, they are still my friends(lol) OMG - I misspelled my own name and ended up in another state too!(lol) No, I didn't slim down that much, and thank you for the laugh out loud funny. Your sense of humor is just so fun! Hugs, RO

    1. Thanks for the kudos, and I need to get back to blogging a lot more these days. Youtube has some great stuff, but what I really loved is that I didn't have to change my eating habits, and it was just a matter of upping my activity. Robert Dugoni is a great storyteller for sure. Very cool to know that you enjoy suspense novels too! You know how I feel about abuse, so it is what it is. Sure hope you're dong well and sending some hugs right back to you, RO

  9. Good for you for losing all that weight. I think I got it, though. I can't seem to stop stuffing my face. Recently, it's been green bean casserole. The beans are ok, but the cream soup and onions put it over the top.

    Also glad you got rid of a very toxic former friend. There's no time for that in this lifetime, especially when the world (mostly our country) is going to Hades in a hand basket.

    You sure LOVE your football. I like it, too, but I'm not a super fan like you. Basketball is MY thing. I miss it already. Too bad so many players are coming down with COVID, though.

    I always love seeing your planners. They are always fun to see how you decorate them. They put mine to shame.

    Hope all is well in your world, dear friend. Wish I could come and give you a big hug right now. I think you need it.

    1. That bean casserole sure sounds good, and reminds me of how I'm supposed to be eating a lot more veggies(lol) without the cream soup, of course. I'm very tolerant of many, many things, but as you mentioned, the toxicity was just too much. I do love my football(lol), but I did manage to watch a few of the basketball games too. I love how they focused on staying healthy and minimizing contact outside of the bubble. Unfortunately, the NFL wasn't as strict as they should have been, causing lots of cancellations and rescheduling. Having planners and looking at planners and calendars of others really soothes me quite a bit. Some of the art that people come up with is so fascinating and lovely. Please send me all the hugs you have. Nothing wrong with warm and fuzziness from friends, and you're the best! Ro

  11. Sad about the friend. I've lost a few over the years. I really have to watch what comes out of the end of my fingers when typing. What you hear in your head and what comes out of your fingers can sound completely different to the reader.

    Be careful with the 19 pounds. Quick weight loss can come back quickly too. I slowly lost 30 pounds over a year. Now it's slowly coming back.

    1. I'm mostly tolerant of a lot of things because I'm old school and a tomboy from back in the day, but as you know I draw the line at cruelty, verbal or physical abuse and unkindness. I was thrilled that I lost the 19 pounds by just exercising and not changing my eating habits, but definitely need to eat more veggies and eat healthy. Kudos on your weight loss too! 30 pounds is pretty phenomenal. By the way, I love the things that come from your head and end up on paper - always funny! Hugs, RO

I drink one a day and although it's not super bad - it's not super great either. I'm sorry to hear about your friendship but I do love your healthy boundaries! You go with your bad self!!

    1. I'm guilty of using Simply Limeade(lol) and used to mix it in with my tea. Now I added ginger to green tea along with lemon and have gotten used to the taste, but it was rough(lol) You know how I feel about abuse of any kind, and I'm happy that I snipped that out of my life. "You go with your bad self" is perfect to put on a hat.(lol) Thanks so much! Hugs, RO

  36. Sorry to hear that you had to end a friendship. May the door to other meaningful relationships open. I was surprised to learn that I Love Lucy didn't run as long as I had assumed.

  37. It's difficult to end a friendship, but sounds like it was the right thing to do. It is nice there are so many free exercises and tips available nowadays. I never knew there was an online site for matchmakers, you do find the most random and interesting pieces for these posts. Your daughter's pumpkin looks great. I also like Ben and Jerry's ice cream, although we only have a few flavors here. I hope you're doing well and staying safe!
