Strange Amazon sales

by

Ok fess up!

I was just looking at my Amazon account, checking to see if anybody bought anything through my links, or my Amazon store this week and I was very surprised to see what I had sold.

Someone bought:

Grafco® Stainless Steel Graves Vaginal Speculum, Medium (4″ x ¼”)

Speculum

I guess a doctor, or maybe a midwife came through one of my sites and then visited Amazon and bought two speculums. I didn’t even know Amazon sold medical equipment let along those things!

Amazon really does sell everything.

I wonder if it was a Christmas present?





Disasterous Hockey game

by

We’re home from the hockey game. The Toronto Marlee’s lost something like 8 or 9 to 1, Geeeeez the Marlees are a bunch of brawlers. If those are the guys that are going to be sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the next year or two we’re going to keep losing for a long time to come.


Within the first 14 seconds of the game there was a pile of players punching each other and 4 penalties given out. I think the marlees got over 20 penalties through the game. Plus, when they have the puck and have an opening they don’t shoot the puck. They wait until their blocked and then shoot it. I must have seen 5 brawls in all. The last two were most of the teams fighting each other again – so that happened three times!

As I said earlier I’m not a big hockey fan at all. I barely understand the rules, but even if someone like me could see how bad they were playing then it’s bad.

Oh well it was nice to get out. I don’t get out much lately so this was fun – even if the marlee’s sucked the big one.

I enjoy a good read

I love my magazine subscriptions. I look forward to their weekly or monthly delivery and devour the magazines within a day of their arrival. Do you enjoy reading a good magazine? Which ones are your favorites?

Magazines Direct has subscriptions for all of the popular Magazines that many of us read regularly. If you are looking to expand on your subscriptions – perhaps to start reading a fitness magazine to help you with your New Years resolution – you might want to check out Magazines Direct. They have over 1300 different magazines to subscribe to.

Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what kind of gift to give someone I’ll throw in a Magazine subscription to one of their favorite magazines. Luckily Magazines Direct also offers gift subscriptions and each one comes with a lovely hand written greeting card too.

Check them out.

Off to watch some Hockey

by

Off to the Hockey game! BRRRR I’ve had a fever for the better part of the last four days! I’m gonna freeze! Wish us luck that the Toronto team wins! I promise I’ll come back with some photos for the hockey fans out there.

There are hockey fans out there isn’t there? hello … ?

Ok, off to get my Parka for my cold few hour stay in an ice rink. Maybe some tylenol too. Uh huh

House Guests!

by

Chris came home from Brantford yesterday with his brother and nephew. We’d talked around midnight late Sunday/ Early Monday to wish each other a happy new year and at that time we didn’t think Chris’ brother was going to come to Toronto until Tuesday.

Surprise … they showed up with Chris yesterday afternoon. I think they will be here until Thursday or Friday. I’m going to try to keep posting while they are visiting but if I don’t it’s because I have visitors. Don’t worry if this site goes quiet for a day or two. Ok?

This evening we are going to a hockey game. No not an NHL game, but I suppose it’s the second best type we could go to. We’re going to watch the farm teams for the NHL – the Toronto Marlees and the Syracuse Crunch at the Ricoh Coliseum. I think that I can bring a camera in, so I might take some photos.

I’m not a huge hockey fan – ahhh all the Canadians reading this are going to take me out back and shoot me now! LOL Hey – I do watch it on TV and attend games … I’m just not an avid fan.

I had asked people to write a link to two of our sites and I’d give them a link on this site – in a post. I asked this some time last week and the response has been very good. Unfortunately due to my not feeling well and having relatives in town and now in my house I haven’t had a chance to repay these people with some linky love. I promise that I will most definitely do that later this week. In the meantime if anyone else wants to get in on my link deal – read the post and I will get back to you by the end of the week with some linky love.
