Wednesday's Random Items on my Mind

**We all knew he was sick but it still was a bit of a shock to see that Steve Jobs had passed away from pancreatic cancer. I didn't know you could live as long as he did with pancreatic cancer so I am happy he got to say his good byes, however sad. He was only 56. Being 55 that scares me.I have heard over and over again that if you can get through your 50's without cancer you have a pretty good shot at not getting it. I wonder how true that is? So many in my family have died from cancer, including my mom who never even made age 45 let alone her 50's.  It's always in the back of my head and I wish it weren't. I don't own any of his inventions. No mac, no iphone, no ipad and I don't use itunes. But you can't deny his huge impact on our lives whether you use his inventions or curse them.

**The weather is perfect right now here in the mid Atlantic.I want it to stay just like this until summer. I don't think that is much to ask.It is in the high 70s all day and it is in the low 40's at night. Perfection!  I want to move where it is like this all the time except summer.Know of that place?As I type this my nose and fingers are cold. I just got in from a walk with Izzy and it is only 48 degrees. Brr....but it smells like fall and the sun is shining and sky is blue and I'm in nirvana right now.

**I am not a fan of cold weather fruit. Apples so not my thing. I like Granny Smith apples every once in a while but seriously apples to me are awful unless in a pie.  I miss my berries and cantaloupes and plums and all the good things of summer. The issue with this fruit thing is that I find when it's colder I want to eat more for some reason. So I try to lean towards fruit but I hate all the fruit this time of year and a piece of gluten free cheesecake is so much easier to grab instead of that lousy apple. Ah, what's a girl to do? There is always that dirty word, EXERCISE. Aargh.

**I just bought an enormous box of full size Reese's cups at ole Costco. I do not like Reese's peanut butter cups which is the kind of Halloween candy I must buy. Rick loves them. So I put the box in the fridge in the garage to hide them.He found them last night and he ate 2 of them. So two less trick or treaters I suppose.I put them low thinking the tall man wouldn't see them in the crisper out there.He told me while he was working in the garage he heard them call him, "Rick eat me, eat me"I told him that was me but he insisted it was the candy. So now I must find another hiding spot or buy more because those won't be the only 2 missing from that box!

**We lowered the price of our house at the lake to hopefully sell.I still don't think it will sell. Seriously are people buying 2nd homes in a recession? No.

**Where have all my bloggers gone? M.I.A. No updates on their blogs,  not stopping by mine, nada.Everyone is so very busy? Everyone quit? What is happening? All are twittering? If you are out there reading - what the hell are you doing and why aren't you writing anymore?

**This morning on The Broads on Sirius they had on a woman who owns a shop in NY where they cast ones penis. Yes, they make dildo's.  You can buy one, but why do that when you can just have one made...tee hee. A man goes there and has a cast made of his erect penis. I talk back to my radio and said out loud, "how the hell does she keep them erect the whole time she is making this? Is there a fluffer in her store or is she?"  Then the Broads asked her this exact question. She said there is a little room and they play video's/porn and have other magazines/visuals etc. They do not have a fluffer. (I wasn't convinced) She did say that a lot of partners come with the men. Women go there and ask that one be made of their husbands, boyfriend, partner. A woman asked if she could make one of her husbands penis because he was being deployed to Afghanistan again and this was her way of having a "piece" of him left behind. I don't know why but I think this is a hoot. Rick would do this over his dead body. He may buy me a vibrator but pose for one? I think not.  Would your partner do that?

**Okay an update here at 10:20am.
Rick called into the office for some customer information.
I told him that I said he would never pose for such a thing.
He laughed and said, "Where do you find these things Margaret?" 
Then he informed me that a woman rubbing stuff all over his thang to make this cast would be a non issue and he'd do it in a heart beat. No video's needed he tells me, "they are rubbing stuff on it Margaret.  He says this loudly like I'm deaf.  Well excuse me for thinking otherwise you big pig!  But what if it was a man doing this? Well then it was a loud hell no.
So the pig does draw a line in the proverbial sand.  Oh hell it's all TMI even for me.
What the hell is wrong with him/men?  Yeah, I know rhetorical question.
