Cruises

I am so done with winter. I’m sick of being cold and bundling up. I was at the Carnival Cruise website checking out cruises. I just wish I could afford to take one to the Caribbean.

The ships are beautiful and loaded with plenty to do. There are lounges, pools, spas, casinos and more. It’s better than being cooped up in your home theater all winter. Wouldn’t it be better to watch a 12-foot-high by 22-foot-wide LED screen located poolside on the Lido deck showing movies, sporting events, concerts, and other special programming while you’re lounging by the pool?

Threats & music

A man in New Hampshire threatened to slit his neighbors’ throats after they reported him for playing loud music. The man was charged with three counts of criminal threats and two counts of criminal mischief after he admitted punching a hole in the neighbors’ wall.

Police gave the man a ticket for noise coming from his audio racks earlier in the day, but the neighbors called the police again about a half hour later. Police said the man went to the neighbors’ apartment to apologize, but things didn’t work out well. The man began yelling, pulled out a pocket knife and threatened to slit their throats.

The neighbors slammed the door and were not hurt.

24 hour run

A man celebrated his 30th birthday by running for 24 hours straight on a treadmill. He only took breaks to use the restroom and change his clothes.

Wow that exercise had to be better than the best diet pills around! After he finished he promptly went to the nearest chair and rested his obviously stiff legs. He said that for the rest of his birthday, he just wants a nap and a massage. I don’t blame him at all!

He raised just over $3,000 for the American Lung Association by doing this.

Video

Yesterday I got a video camera that I ordered. I’m so happy with it. I got the best buy I could find at Buy.com on this camera.

I blogged about it on my other blog ArmyMomNJ. It was only $89.99 and the quality of the videos it takes is great. It comes with a cord to hook the camera up to your TV so you can view the videos on it. The camera plugs into your computer so you can save & edit your videos.

This was the best purchase I could have ever made.

Retail going down the tubes?

Some retail companies are closing their doors. Recently Circuit City announced they are closing and are having a lot of sales to liquidate their merchandise. Boscovs has closed a lot of stores and laid off a lot more employees. Auto makers are laying off people too.

The economy is in a really bad way. We can only hope things get better and not worse in the future.
