I hadn’t seen Alice in about six months

by Mary Anne

Not long ago there was a knock at my door.  When I looked out through the window to see who it was, I saw my girlfriend Alice standing there.  I was very surprised; I haven’t seen her in about six months and we have been playing telephone tag for a very long time.  I wasn’t expecting her, but was very glad to see her!

When I opened the door, we exchange hugs and kisses and I led her into my living room.  She asked “do you notice anything different about me?”  I looked at her really hard and noticed that she seemed prettier than usual.  I said “you have new glasses!”  She said, no, that’s not it, look closer.  I could NOT figure out for the life of me what was different, but I KNEW she was prettier than I remembered.  She laughed and said “I had my nose fixed!”  I said “WHAT!”  She laughed and said “I had a nose job!”  I was so shocked to hear that!  When we were kids she always told me how much she hated her nose, but we were such close friends that I never even paid it any attention.  Well, it seems that a while ago she slipped and fell in her kitchen and broke her nose!  Her doctor suggested that she take the opportunity to have a nose job!  So she did, and she looks so much prettier than before and is delighted with her “new look.”


I can’t believe we drove that far for a pair of shoes!

by Mary Anne

Well, we did it!  We drove 64 miles one way to buy a pair of those crazy Z-Coil shoes!  I thought my hubby was planning to buy a pair, too, but when we got to the store and he saw how ugly they were he would not even try a pair on to see how the felt!  I really thought it was too bad, if he had at least tried on a pair and someone someday talks about those shoes he could say “oh yeah, I tried on a pair of those once!”  But he had this look of disgust on his face that would not come off. 

Well, the shoes ARE ugly, but they are comfortable.  So I bought a pair of them for myself.  I NEED a comfortable pair of shoes, I am going to be working in a job where I stand up all day long, and I’m not used to doing that.  So I want the most comfortable pair of shoes I can find!  They cost me over $200, so I sure hope they are worth it and make my feet “happy” when I’m working in them!  If they do, then they will be worth their weight in gold!


Crazy shoes

by Mary Anne

I’m waiting for my hubby to get ready to go shopping for shoes with me.  We’re planning on buying some of those crazy Z-Coil shoes, and the closest store that sells them is 64 miles away!  The experts say that you should never buy shoes before 2pm, so we should be getting to the store just about right on time!  I printed off directions to the store from Mapquest, and we’re taking our GPS, so I hope we can find it OK, it’s in a town that I haven’t been to in over 30 years!


Satellite Radio becoming a monopoly

by Mary Anne

I was reading an article on Time.com about how the two satellite radio companies are attempting a merger. The article was talking about how the FCC is leaning towards approving the merger. If the merger is approved then the satellite radio business will become a monopoly. I thought monopolies were not allowed; isn’t that why the Bell System was broken up in the 1980s?
