Informercials and Other Completely Unrelated topics

Why are info-mercials so compelling?...
they are incredibly boring and yet you can't leave the TV just to change out of your pyjamas...
why, even though I in no way need a little giant ladder do I now feel the incredible urge to buy one...
don't get me started on gunners workout package with free medicine ball and an extra video with scantily clad female for free...
only if I call within the next 40 minutes though...oh the panic.

On other tangents...

apologies to Allan for my arrogant comment "I know very well what it sounds like when Jesus talks to me"...Not always I don't, sometimes (like anyone I am sure) I lack clarity. However, I think I usually know when he is NOT talking to me...that is what I meant. And I sounded arrogant and conceited...

Also, we are off to the Dave Dobbyn concert it seems. staying in the nicest backpackers
check it out...woohoo

Went to see Brodie play soccer for the first time...how cute is this...

Brodie is the one in the Blue hat with the dark blue band...
Renzo has the ball I believe.


Brodie on far left, Will, ????, Renzo.

here is a poem (seeing as everyone jumped on my joke bandwagon, I shall leap onto this one)...
It's been three years I think, since I floated away.
I wonder how long it was before you noticed.

I heard about what happened, I tried to squeeze my eyes shut,
but my tears broke through in spite of me.

Just like when you carried my sack of coal,
I cried for you for days.

Then yesterday i met you for the first time.
It was different but i was unchanged.

At least that is how i felt. The same.
I wonder how long this time, before I dissipate?

how long before you notice?

  • Ohh Brodie is too cute! That's so cool.

    Ahh I found the backpackers, it looks real nice. Good find.

    Funny infomercial story - when I was 14 I had saved up like $2 a week for quite awhile and then one day I saw the "ABFLEX" advertised and I blew all my savings cas I just had to have one!

  • Brodie is such a cute guy! Can you write on the photo which one he is (like Shaz did) so the world can identify this gem?

    Ummmm wonder what happened to Amy's abflex (in a tiny whisper) is it for sale??? No, no not for me of course. Hasn't Andrew got a birthday coming up?

  • haha, the good ol' abflex...keep it on the hush and we should be able to find you (and by you I mean Andrew) one on the black market...i will write which one he is beneath the photos...

  • Now, Simona, help me out here.

    If I buy that medicine ball do i get the workout video AND the female for free?

    Secondly, would I have to return the free stuff if I didn't like the actual item that I purchased?

  • The female is absolutely free...does a bikini travel show on tv and everything...the best thing is one of the free things IS the medicine ball...haha isn't that quaint, you just buy useless medicine ball videos for $150 and they throw in a medicine ball for free!!! As to whether you can keep the free stuff...that would be sweet!!! who wants the videos that bad anyway...haha we will look like all those celebrities in no time...at least that is what they told me
