Happy Tuesday.
Yesterday was indeed Veteran's Day and since my G/F's hubby, Jimbo, is a veteran, him and some of his veteran friends went out to eat as several restaurants provided free food for the veterans - and that's nice of them to do that.
Slight change in the page color. Maybe I have enough pink stuff already in my life. This is a pretty light ORANGEY TAN color. I think I can keep that, unless you want BLUE like I'm using in Barrier or something. Or maybe a slight shade of gray ? Anyways.
I saw Chris last Sunday. I thought something was fishy and I was right, he wanted to eat at Captain D's, so we did that. I don't know why but LOTS of senior citizens seem to like fish as anytimes I've always gone I've seen folks there of that bracket.
After that Chris tried to get to a Blockbuster Video as he said they are going out of business, and they said they were already closed when we got there.
Now one big difference between me and Chris is. I don't need quality stuff, but he does. He will go out of his way to pay top dollar to purchase a DVD just so he can have the box and cover-art and stuff.
Whereas with me, if I can find a copy in Youtube or something, I'm more than content with that. In fact that new 1 terabyte drive, well I've been filling it up with FLV movies, which as you know or should is the native format of Youtube videos.
The reason is simple, sites like Youtube may carry a nice movie for everyone to watch then BUT in time, you never know ! It could get yanked, the company might go under new management - anything is possible.
So as Inspector Gadget says, it's better to be safe than sore. :) I sure wish he was my uncle. And yes, some videos I've downloaded in the past from Youtube have in fact been deleted over time.
Other than that, it was a pretty quiet day. However as we were doing a little evening shopping, I tried to get a new water filter for my purifier at Albertson's - and they discontinued them ! Chris was with me though so he spoke with a sales clerk and they in turn called the manager.
And wow ! The manager was really nice to me ! I told him I didn't have my receipt but I had the purifier. He said, bring it back, I won't need the receipt and they'll trade it out for the new model that is supported now. From PUR to Brita.
And - thinking about that, that will earn the store money cause it means I'll go there to get new filters so - while they may have lost a bit of money in my returning an obsolete filter and not having to pay for the new one, they'll likely more than make up for it with the number of filters I'll buy over time.
Something for you businesses to consider. Always round to the last decimal place with customers. :)
...
I see my Dr tomorrow and will likely be gone all day. I'll tell him that I passed his test, I did indeed not record any more dreams (tho I had some doozies), and maybe he'll give me permission to start recording them again.
I know I have storage on my computer so I can start naming and dating them when I finally get around to listing them in Writer's Cafe.
Rose said we are having a HARD FREEZE tonite. Is that why I'm so cold ? I guess I could put on a robe or some clothes right ? :) Anyways, set your taps to drip-drip tonite so they won't freeze up by morning and you can't have coffee cause that would be awful.
That's all from here. Have a great Tuesday evening !
What does the term, 'Quality of Life' mean to you and your family ?
What could you do to make improvements to it now ?
