La Luna’s World

Some times you hear the weirdest things.                                                            Today I heard that when you exit off the plane in Scotland the first sign you would have seen was…                                                                                                       Welcome to the Small Country of Scotland.         
Scotland got tired of this sign and spend 1/2 million dollars to come up with a better slogan for their visitors.  After much deliberation they came up with…                                                                                                                                     Welcome to Scotland.

Gee, if only I had been given the sign slogan job.

The holiday rush is on. People are really in a frenzy to get the perfect gift for everyone on their Christmas list.
We got a Holiday surprise today. Chee and I went to a fancy little restaurant for lunch. They were had a brunch buffet. The server said we could have the brunch, alone which was a table of a few pasta salad dishes, a fruit platter and assorted deserts, or have a bowl of soup with the addition to the small buffet for $7.50. It did not make much sense since the buffet alone was $11.95. We opted for the soup and buffet. It was lovely. They had just put up the Christmas tree and all the pretty garlands. The fireplace hosted a large log all a blazed and soft music was playing in the back round. We ate and felt really special. We did not get to much attention from the server, but the water guy was really nice. The bill came and I looked at it $11.92. I am not much of a thinker; I just slapped down the credit card basking in the moment of a yummy lunch. Then it dawned on me a few hours later, heck they made a mistake. It should have been at least $15.00. Oh well, it is the season to give and they were really nice to give us a discount.

The Pilgrims and Native Americans came together to celebrate and give thanks for thier many blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving

This morning I was listening to a radio station.  This station has been known to set people up for events.  Lets say a person has tickets to an event but has
no one to go with them.  If you are lucky enough to get your call through to the station and the jocks are in the mood they will announce that a certain person is looking for a date to a specific event and if you are interested call the station and they will screen the guy or girl on air and then pass on the phone number to the person if they are interested.
Last week they set up this lady for a motorcycle event.  They lady had a choice of three men who wanted to go with her to the event. She talked to them on air and then in private and made her choice (Larry).  Larry was supposed to meet her at a designated café at 1PM.  She got a ride over the café and waited for 2 hours and Larry did not show.  So she went home and tried to find someone else to take her to this motorcycle.  While she was calling around Larry called and asked her where she was, so now a total of 4 hours had passed. Larry had gone to the event and was having fun and on an after thought realized he was supposed to be with her.  All this information came out today on the radio as she was reporting back on her date. She said she ended up forgiving him and went out with him a few nights later, he did not feel like dropping her home so she drove his truck home and returned it the next night to him and he took her out to dinner to thank her.
They opened the phone lines for people to give their opinions on Larry, and everyone said pretty much to just forget about him.  That was the tame down version of their comments. Next thing Larry called in to defend himself.  The two other guys who she did not pick also called in.  They said that they would be more than willing to take her out to dinner if she wanted and forget about Larry.
This lady said she would continue on seeing Larry and it had been 10 years since she dated anyone, cause good men are hard to find.  This left the jocks and the audience baffled as to why would she be so stupid.
What makes some women attracted to guys who treat them so disrespectful? I have asked that question to myself and well, I don’t know, it could be a stupid gene in the brain.!??!

I have not been watching TV for a week now. I’ve listen to the radio, but for some reason not at the right time. I totally missed this mishap.
Last Wednesday the Hong Kong-based ship Cosco Busan was passing under the Bay Bridge when the Captain, John Cota radioed in that his vessel had just “touched: the Bay Bridge.
In actuality that so call touch caused a gash in the fuel tank of his vessels that unleashed 58,000 gallons of thick toxic fuel oil. That was some “touch.”
Now comes the clean up and saving of hundreds of sea animals.
I guess that story is not as big as the on going Brittney Spears saga, because that is all I hear about.

A group of girlfriends go on vacation and see a five-story hotel with a sign that reads “for women only.” Since they are without their boyfriends, they decide to go in.

The doorman, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. “We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you’re looking for, you can stay there. It’s easy to decide, since each floor has signs telling you what’s on that floor. The only rule is, once you leave a floor, you can’t return to it.”

The women talk it over and decide to go for it.

They start going up, and on the first floor the sign reads, “All the men here are horrible lovers, but they are kind and sensitive.”

The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads “All the men here are wonderful lovers, but they generally treat women badly.”

This wasn’t going to do, so again they head for the stairs.

The friends move up to the third floor where the sign reads “All the men here are great lovers and sensitive to the needs of women.”

This was good but there are still two more floors so………

So on to the fourth floor, and this sign seems perfect. “All the men here have perfect builds; are sensitive and attentive to women; are perfect lovers; they are also single, rich and straight.”

The women are really pleased, but they decide that they would rather see what the FIFTH floor has to offer before they settle.

When they reach the fifth floor, there is only a sign that reads: “There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is simply no way to please a woman.”

Would you have gone to the fifth floor after viewing floors 1 thru 4?

I was looking at the clocks on Sunday night; I was confused as to what time it was, this being the weekend for the time change.  I was thinking maybe Big sis adjusted all the clocks.
I pick up the phone and dial Popcorn.  For as long as I can remember you could dial popcorn and get the correct time.  There was only a message that the time clock was discontinued with an apology. What the heck!!! Why?
A quick search on the Internet told me why.
AT&T announced that it discontinued this service in September 2007 as outdated equipment breaks down, as well as to free up additional phone numbers. A speaking clock could be reached until September 19, 2007, by ringing various numbers, For all area codes in Northern California, the number was 767-2676, and was often indicated by its telephone acronym, POPCORN.

Well, thank you AT&T for discontinuing a major icon in our lives.
Wish it would be just as easy to discontinue this stupid time change system.
