Inappropriate Responses to Sights We See


 Sometimes we can make inappropriate responses to sights we see. I certainly am guilty of this. It was a warm and sunny day for the Hartville flea market today and it was just packed with people.  It was warm enough for shorts and short sleeved shirts.

 There are ways to dress for shopping. This would include a hat to shade your eyes, a long sleeved shirt to protect your arms from early season sunburn, comfortable shoes,  a fanny pack for your money so you can use both hands to examine your finds and perhaps a shoulder bag to stash your packages for carrying.

I was lucky today because I did not have to observe the sight at the market that I really dislike the most.

A large flea market in Pennsylvania has a lunch room in the fire hall. One day we had just seated ourselves next to each other on the same side of one of the long tables to eat our lunch. There was a man seated with his back to us at the table next to ours.


 We were greeted by the sight of about 5 inches his butt crack. I really think that a person should know whether this part of the anatomy is exposed to the air. Well, I just started giggling and I could hardly contain myself.  My husband quickly moved around to the other side of the table so that he was facing me and blocking my view and his own view of the unappetizing sight. It was wrong of me to laugh but it just struck me as funny that day.

Pants and belts are made in many sizes so I have to assume that these men who seem to be mooning all who are around them really don't care about themselves.

Standing Rock in Kent Ohio

Image
Standing Rock is in the Cuyahoga River in Kent behind the Standing Rock Cemetery. When I was a child on Wolcott Avenue in Kent we would go in small groups riding our bikes or walking through the cemetery to see the large rock. We lived only a few blocks from the cemetery so it was a short trip. We never worried about going through the cemetery alone.  A bypass for the Cuyahoga River now flows around the dam on Main Street in Kent to speed up the river to improve the water quality. The level of the river has been cut down drastically because of the bypass. Ripples of water now flow over rocks where the river once was deep. It was deep enough years ago so that you could not see the rocks on the bottom.  Back then the water rose up under the jutting ledge near the top of the large stone. It would sometimes be higher when there was heavy precipitation and flooding. There were sometimes white spray painted graffiti and other marks on the rock. It made me wonder how people got out thro

A Fast & Unexpected Ride Home ~ Another life Adventure

Image
Mr. Fixit had recently made some repairs to the old 1971 camper van. We took a 40 mile round trip last week and there were no evident problems. Last evening we headed toward the Pennsylvania line on what would be a 100 mile round trip. Forty miles into the trip the van gave out a couple of coughs as the engine missed. OH OH! Those sounds stopped for a while as we continued on our way. Then suddenly the van was lurching as the engine missed and backfired loudly as it blew out the muffler. We were so glad to see that were were near an off ramp as we were on a busy interstate. We made it almost to the top of the ramp before the vehicle ceased running.  Mr. Fixit always carries extra parts and tools so thinking that it might be an easy fix he pulled the cap off the engine which is inside of the van in the front and went to work. After a few new parts and tries it was decided that we would call the hook. AAA put us on their priority list as we were in a precarious place.  Semis that

Did This Product Work for Me? ~ A Super Clean Review

Image
Often we buy products by how they look on the shelf or how we like the advertisements. This product was recommended to me by someone who has had to clean tough dirt. We burn wood in a wood burning stove in our living room. When the stove is opened to add wood there are puffs of smoke that come out of the front. This smoky dirt travels up to the ceiling and the surrounding wall areas. This type of soil can be very difficult to clean. A friend told me to go to the Walmart automotive department and get some Super Clean. Rubber gloves should be used while using this strong degreaser and cleaner even in the diluted forms for light cleaning. I was happy that this product actually worked. We have hard water and this cleaner cleans up the hard water stains along with dirt and grease that other cleaners have not worked on. I used it in a diluted form in the kitchen today and it did a great job on the textured surface on the refrigerator. It leaves a nice clean looking shine on chrome. It
