BLACK FRIDAY EXPERIENCE
i do not ever go shopping on black friday
but did once and lived to tell about it
will not ever do a black friday ever again
am cured
hold my shopping for a wednesday am at 900am two weeks
before christmas have a list, have researched what i want,
walk in the store and get it, pay for it and get out of there
this black friday experience has ruined my shopping pleasure
a few years a go was at home visiting my parents in a rural
state near here
they lived about 15 miles from a small town of 15000
in this small town they have a walmart
walmart had their black friday deals advertised in the
local paper its called black friday because of all the
bruises that you get from shopping that day
there was a tv advertised that i wanted to get for my parents for
christmas theirs was an old one that was real old
my wife she and i had bought it when we first got married as
poor college students so you know it was not an expensive one
so on that friday morning i got up early and left at 5:00 am
to go to the walmart figured that in this small town it
would not be busy if i got there early would just go in and
get it before the big rush occurred
the store was opening at 6:00 am
well was i ever wrong when got there at 5:30 am the parking
lot was full was able to park at the edge of the parking lot
the line was so long it took me almost 30 minutes to get into
the store
when i got into the store no one could move because it was
so full am sure it exceeded maximal capacity allowed
by the fire department by two-three times the number
the whole time i was there never was able to get pass the
mass of people to to get any where near the television
looked up and there was a nephew must be genetic this
black friday shopping he called his wife on her cell
phone-she just happened to be in the television section
she had one of the televisions sitting in the aisle as some
lady just left it there
guess the lady could not get it through the mass of people
to get it checked out
my nephew managed to get to where the television was-
i never could fight may way there he lifted it up and
moved through the mass of humanity now we had to
get it to the check out line-
the lady before had given up on that my nephew he just
barreled through we looked up we were saved as
there was another nephew he in the line about to check out-
yep its genetic
you know what we did right you bet my nephew he
checked it out for us
there was a lot of people p..... at us as we went past
them
but yes got that dang television my nephew he(a tall
fireman who shouldnt have been in that overcapacity crowd)
lifted it up and took it to my car (had borrowed my sons
toyota 4-runner)
after all that then the dam thing would not fit in the car
luckily my nephew he was in a large pickup truck
he drove it to my parents house for me
after my parents both died got the television and brought it
back here to use in our guest bedroom
think about that black friday experience every time
i look at that television
learned my lesson

big pharma/pharmaceutical/drug companies fined for fraud, cowboys
BIG PHARMA/PHARMACEUTICAL/DRUG
COMPANIES FINED FOR FRAUD
one of the big pharma companies-glaxosmithkline was just
fined $750 million for committing medicare and medicaid
fraud for selling defective drugs
this is not a generic company
the drugs were the antinausea medication kytril, the topical
antibiotic bactroban, the antidepressant paxil cr, and type 2
diabetes drug avandamet
the drugs were contaminated by bacteria, were split in half,
or did not have the correct amount of effective ingredients,
plus other defects
a employee whistleblower turned them in
she got $96 million
some states will get $160 million most states could use
the money
the medicare/medicaid fraud team that investigated the
fraud was funded with $350 million by the health care reform act
it has recovered $3 billion so far for medicare/medicaid fraud
pretty good investment huh
add that to the benefits of the new health care law
a sgk spokesman regretted not manufacturing the drugs to
the appropriate standards the facility that made the
faulty drugs has been closed
luckily no significant harm was caused by the faulty drugs
they just did not work-you continued to be nauseated, your
skin infection did not heal as fast, your depression was not
controlled, and your diabetes was not controlled
no wonder patients have a mistrust of the drug companies-
things like this do not help gain patients trust
am always hearing from groups that the generics are not
as well made- well heres your branded meds not working
and not well made
COWBOYS
could they be on the come back
they looked good yesterday
even the old man qarterback ran for a touchdown
am sure most quarterbacks wished they had the
cowboy receivers to pass to
turkey day will be important as they play the saints
go cowboys

rainwater harvesting system-maintenance, good football weekend
RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM-MAINTENANCE
you can do a google search for rainwater on google search
on the right side of this blog to read about the system we have
the rain falls on roof then goes through a roof filter then goes to
a sleeve filter to rainwater tanks from there the water goes
through the 4 filtering systems above
once a month remove the white filter housing and clean it
well as below a new filter is then placed this is a
10 micron filter it catches most stuff that may be in the
water
twice a year have to remove the blue filter housing and clean
out the blue housings remove one at a time wash each
with soap and water, irrigate it well, then sterilize it with a
cholorox-water solution then irrigate it again, then put in a
new filter
the first blue filter is a white woven 5 micron filter
the second blue filter is a carbon filter that is a 2-5 micron filter
it catches any odors or chemicals in the water
the last blue filter houses the ultraviolet light this is replaced
every 12 months it goes inside a quartz tube(broke
that sucker once-it was expensive and shut down my system
until could get a new one ordered)
this sterilizes the water
last thing do is put a chlorox solution in the the blue housing
with the ultraviolet light the water is turned on and when the
solution reaches the faucets in the house the water is turned
off let it sit for four hours this sterilizes the whole
system
this is how we get our pristine water great for drinking,
bathing, and cooking-and making coffee!!!
GOOD FOOTBALL WEEKEND
well razorback fans yall going to miss that quarterback
next year know the pros are drooling over him
they almost did not make it
good thing that the auburn quarterbacks dad didnt get that
money from the miss state alumni or he may have beaten the
razorbacks in that close game
next week lsu (texas fans can you say texas am game)
this is what this game is like
longhorns won and looked good doing it
they looked like the longhorns we were expecting
this year of course the competition wasnt good
next thursday is the am and texas game
records dont matter
a win would be good then
there wont be a loosing season
just give the ball to that big guy johnson and let him
pound the ball
go cowboys today beat the lions
would be a good morale booster
jason garrett may be the answer(solution)
