Let's Talk...Your Questions Answered and More

Well...it's a zippity doo dah ding dong day in the canyon this morning...and I'll be giggers if it didn't turn off cold as kraut!
But it IS ding dong day and I'm so glad to be up and going again I'm just glad to be able to go....cold or not.

I've had a few questions come in this week and I thought we'd talk about that a bit this morning.  But FIRST...let me tell

you about my contact with Met Life over their very annoying television commercial. 
YOU know the one...it's a baby boomer mom and dad with 2 grown daughters...and dad has fallen off a ladder trying to do a simple repair and the girls have come over to save the day and they immediately start talking about mom and dad getting 'final expense' LIFE insurance.  Heaven forbid these girls should have to forgo a little frivolous spending for a while to compensate for having to pay for mom or dads funeral.....
That commercial is very annoying ... at least to us...for several reasons.  For one thing...mom and dad appear to be dumb as rocks but yet a tad bit too high on the uppity ladder for my viewing comfort...I just can't stand a uppity snob and I mean that in the kindest Christian way.  And those girls...OH my GOODNESS....they just reek of uppity.
That commercial is on about 12 times during any given evening and as soon as it comes on the geezer mutes the television or turns the channel. 
SOOOOOOOO it was on twice in a row the other night...not even a commercial break...between their 2 commercials.  So I said "I'm going to see if they have a facebook page and post about how annoying this commercial is.  Geezer said...in the overly loving way that only he can say it "Go ahead...I'm sure you'll have them shaking in their boots as soon as they see the message came from YOU"  :-0   Theeeeeeeeeeeee NERVE of that geezer...saying something like that to meeeeeeee :-0
SOOOOOO I shot off my message and hit public post!  And this is what I said:

Kay Comer

Do you folks at Met Life have ANY IDEA how annoying your commercial is with the 2 grown daughters and the dad that fell off the ladder? PLEASE!!! WE HAVE HAD IT with that commercial and we turn channels or mute the TV the instant it comes on...You are driving people away instead of pulling them in...

The very next morning...I had a reply from Met Life...and this is what THEY said:

• MetLife Hi Kay, We appreciate your feedback. Thanks to you and others who have expressed similar concerns, we’re revising the commercial. We’ll share the updated version as soon as it’s available - let us know what you think.

• OOOOOOOOOOOOH "I" WILL!!! Have no fear about THAT!·
• I CANNOT WAIT to see what kind of a commercial they come up with THIS time.  But this one is the pits...I know THAT for a fact!

And speaking of things on television...I think I've mention a couple of times that there are a couple of movie producers...or at least someone in their office...that reads my blog.  I had a message from one of the actual producers a year or so ago and I check fairly often...and "YUP!!! They're still reading!

They're from New York and I just keep thinking that one of these days...they will decide they LIKE my nostalgic ideas and thoughts...and ways of telling things and ask me to write a sitcom for them.  :-)  OR at the very least...let me help them with a better sitcom idea than what they seem to be coming up with the last few years....IT COULD HAPPEN!!!  YES IT COULD!!!  Because "I" believe in MIRACLES and MIRACLES HAPPEN...for those who BELIEVE.

SOOOOOOOOO I just keep typing away from my little blogging nook the geezer put in for me 4 years ago....and thinking that SURELY TO GOODNESS...one of these days...they will contact me for a family oriented sitcom idea.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLL to make a long story SHORT...We have gotten 4 calls from New York in the last week...and it's been our habit of not answering 800 numbers or calls from businesses we're not familiar with (and yes we're on the no call list...TWICE)...SO this goofy geezer is not answering the calls from New York.  He does like he does with all sales calls and just picks it up and sets it back down...SO THEY KNOW...we know they called and we don't want to talk to them...  :-)  I keep saying "What if it's the MOVIE producers?"  He says "I can almost assure you...it isn't"  :-(

So movie producers...if that's you calling...when he hangs up on you the next time...you just call right back and "I'll" answer. And I may not be a professional writer but I can assure you I can come up with some better ideas than the folks you have working for you now....goodness GRACIOUS!!!

I've had 2 emails this week asking about the Royal Bee Skin Miracle Healing Cream and both wanted to know if it will 'help'....and/or prevent...winter skin problems.  And I honestly believe that Royal Bee Cream can do just about anything.  I had a real problem with 'chafing' and you ladies know what I'm talking about....after spending 12 weeks almost flat on my back. But just a few days of using that cream a few times a day....and it's gone.  I've just heard so many stories of miracle healings with that cream.  I just re-ordered while I was 'down'...and I ordered 6 jars of it...For one thing I give so much of it away...AND I just wanted plenty for Kim and I and for each of us to give as we wanted to. 

Geezer says we may be heading for a little break in Florida as soon as my Chester walk is better....and if we do...I'll be heading for Robert's booth and getting a few more jars....I never plan to ever be without that cream...If you just want to use it to 'improve' your skin...just a couple times a day is fine...If you are HEALING a place on your skin....I'd use just a dab about 5 times a day and rub it in really good. 
I just went for my check up at the dermatologist to check that place she took off my nose last fall and she said "You have great skin...what do you use?"  I said "Royal Bee Skin Healing Cream" 

AND I saw that 2 people found my blog this week looking for information on Herbal Fiber Blend.  And that's a SUPER high fiber supplement that just does wonders for most all of our tummy issues.  It used to be sold by Hallelujah Acres and that's where I got it from for years and then they realized they could mix up pretty much the same concoction and make more money with THEIR name on it....so they no longer sell the original "Herbal Fiber Blend".  I don't like their new product so I now order the original one from www.barleymagic.com phone 1-888-311-2963.  It's made by Aim and it's just a super product.  Promotes regularity and will give you better skin and nails and hair  :-)  It comes in capsules or a powder...I recommend the capsules  :-)

We had turnip soup yesterday and if you haven't had turnip soup you just don't know what you're missing.  So I'll post the recipe for you here:
turnips (and I use about 10 because I mash a few of them up after they're cooked)

potatoes (same amount...and I mash a few of those up too)

diced onion...maybe 1/2

Wrights Hickory Smoke....about 10 drops

salt and pepper and cayenne

2-3 tbsp. bacon grease

1/4-1/2 cup diced cooked bacon

You can adjust this recipe to make any amount.  This makes about a gallon...give or take

I dice up the turnips and potatoes and onions and cook them until very soft in a few cups of water...again I never measure as I cook...so just adjust this to the amount you want to make. 

When the turnips and potatoes are very soft....spoon out about a cup of each and mash and return the mashed veggies to the pot....Then just let it all simmer for 45 minutes or so....or use a crock pot.

Ooooooooook  I've done enough damage for this morning....I've been up since 1:35am and my brain is fried. 

Peace and love from the canyon...I love you all gobs and thanks so much...for stopping by.
