I had mentioned recently that after a tooth extraction they placed bone fragments from a “male” cadaver in the space left by the tooth. Your mom brought it to my attention that “it doesn’t have to be a male cadaver, maybe a female cadaver was used”. Great. Now I’ve got to worry about another female in my head.
Good things. Good thoughts. Grasshopper No.5 was considering buying a new xBox recently released by Microsoft. She carefully considered the financial ramifications and decided “no”. Bottom line? She choked. But wait. The Angels of Christmas were watching over her. Her company had received 5 free xbox units complete with new games for promotion purposes. All employee names would be placed “in a hat” and a drawing would take place. The winners would get free xBox systems. The first name drawn was …… yep, Grasshopper No.5. Sometimes good things do happen to good people.
And then, continuing on the “good thing” theme, your Mom was having dental work done. She had tooth decay under a crown. The crown had to be removed and destroyed. A new crown was required. I had set $1,000 aside (normally crowns cost between $800-$1,000). It turns out the old crown was guarnteed for five years and her crown was within warranty. Now I’ve got $1,000 I don’t know what to do with!
The latest rage is “smart TV’s” capable of handling the internet. I recently purchased a regular HDTV saving myself $500. If I chose not to take the “smart feature”, does that mean my TV is “dumb”?
Stay warm!
Love,
Dad
