As I was leaving a store this morning and ready to switch hands to open the door, a kid was coming in at the same time. He steppd back and held the door for me. Right away I noticed his tattoos, his hair and his smile. I looked him in the eye and said thank you as I did very much appreciate it. He had a big tattoo running down his left arm and more on his right arm. He had very short hair, blond in color and a wonderful small smile.
The numbers and letters in the title are close to his license plate. When a kid does something like that, when he could have easily just walked in and let me hold the door, he should be noticed. He stood out to me today. He drove a small black four door vehicle and got off at the Delco plaza exit. How many of us think tattoos mean a certain kind of personality? Well not for me and not today. That gesture made me feel good all the way home and now again as I write this.
Before I left the store, I noticed a girl and boy, not a man and woman although they may think so, standing in line with pajama bottoms on and a tank top, and the boy with a tee shirt. The girl had the boys name on her neck, high up so everyone could see it. Isn't that wonderful, now everyone knows she loves Eddie. I really wanted to tap her on the shoulder and tell her that too many Eddie's are, well.... just try to get that tattoo off. Isn't love great?

ATM's , Asthma, and more...
Today started off almost as usual. Hand pain through the night, and hand splints seem not to help much anymore. Either way I think I have to try harder and longer and do more to help self; don't we all?
So before I left I went on -line and checked my back account, then went to the local convenience store. Right away went to a mac machine aka ATM, not one of the branch machines but still okay. I tried once and then again. Yet I also knew my hands were hurting and maybe I did something wrong. So I went to the store clerk, explained it all and we went to the machine and it gave me my balance and then some money once I checked the amount.
But I never check my balance at the machines so I must have hit that button accidentally and what I saw surprised me. It showed a shortage, an amount that shouldn't have been. I decided to take care of it at home. I went to the clerk to pay for something prior to, in between at the machine to make sure my card was working)yes I left that part out) It was working. So here I was back with the same clerk, not the one who went to the machine with me. She attributed it to the fact that my hands were not working as well and I thought that could be possible. Anyway, this other clerk. Well I was concerned as she didn't look quite herself. Her face and neck was very red, almost like heatstroke. I asked her if she was okay. She said well kind of. It's so hot in here and I have Asthma. WOW!
That really put things into perspective. She described it as someone putting a plastic bag over your head and trying to breathe. I really can't imagine what's that's like and no, I'm not putting a bag over my head no matter how many may ask:) But it comes back to that knowing, just when you think you have it tough.... Oh the bank machine? I went home, got on-line and checked my balance and it showed a shortage. I called the bank, spoke to someone who said, and pay attention please-she said, when this happens the machine catches it at some point and will correct itself, but it can take some time. I appreciated that answer and now will just wait. All in All, it was a good day to remind me...

Subway & Sodium
Just a short notice. Next time you decide to go to Subway, check out there Nutrition guide. While it's nice they provide that, I wonder just how many people read it. The sodium content is unbelievable. Many people read calories and fat content, but as important and more is the sodium content. Whew! Talk about High Blood Pressure!
Foot Callouses? answer...liquorish sticks & vaseline paste
Yes another miracle suggestion on Dr. Oz. I rarely watch him anymore but today I made a schedule to get some things done, still not done but after this blog, I will finish a few things. This guest doctor said if you have had callouses for long time as an audience guest did, then you have to take another look at the kind of shoes you wear. She said make a paste out of sesame oil and 4 sticks of liquorish, not the candy but you'd have to get them at a health food store. She also said you can also use Vaseline instead of sesame oil. I know how much sesame oil costs, and Vaseline is much cheaper.
Now, let's go back to shoes. Check out women's shoes compared to men' shoes. The soles are paper thin, and guess who makes most women's shoes? Men of course. The heels are usually hollow, so ladies take heed, or take heel. But better shoes with a better foundation. You'll save your feet , time and money in the long run.

Donny Deutsch for Women
This afternoon I saw Donny D on the Wendy Williams show which I watch when bored, sometimes. Well this guy gave such great information to women. He is usually part of three contributors on the Today show. Oh yeah, too much TV, anyway he told each and every young lady who asked a question about men , the bold truth. To one young lady he said, if you can't be yourself and have to pretend because the pretend lady is who he likes, then dump him, always be yourself. Another young lady said she always seems to attract the same kind of negative guy. Donnie's answer? Then you have to look at what it is about you that attracts such guys because they know, they smell your weakness which is your niceness. Well that's all I have to say about this for now as once before and is now again a problem with blogger.com.
When I went to sign in, there was a nitice that blogger was updating this month, so I hit update now...and the same thing happened as it did once before. I get a pop up box that says something in length about ie9 does not match module ie8 and so much more crap-what the heck is this bull?
So I once again went into one of my old places that say something like 64bit ---blah blah and this old window opens to allow me to blog-I know after a certain amount of time it will get me back to my usual way of blogging like before, but what a bunch of bull!
