What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
I can't say that I haven't been tempted. A lot. Like by every single commercial out there. I don't have a lot of disposable income though so I've never followed through on any of those wants. I have been doubly tempted when I've seen some of these items (like your Millennium Falcon toy) at garage sales but then I take a minute and realize that if the darn thing worked they wouldn't be selling it.
ReplyDeleteThe Silly twister for abs where u stand on it and keep twisting..arghh
ReplyDeleteJavita...a coffee that is supposed to help you quickly lose weight. Basically you are in the bathroom all day. I was (clearly) desperate to lose that last 5 pounds before vacation...yeah, well it didn't happen and I even gained a pound while drinking it!
ReplyDeleteI've never been much into diet tricks. I remember my MIL asking me a lot of questions about Alli, I don't know if she ever took the plunge. I wouldn't risk it with those side affects. yikes!
ReplyDeleteI'd have bought that ab flex thing, if that hunk came with it!
ReplyDeleteWow...I can't even say anything here! lol. Been there...done that...my doctor says ignorant things like "oh..I have a wonderful product..." It irritates the snot out of me. I used to want that wheel thing and the thing called "perfect push ups"...ugh...they always get us!
ReplyDeleteMy mom had me do the Metabolife pill thing, which then got taken off the market for not being safe. The piece of equipment I bought was a "ski" machine as well as the one where it's a mat that you put booties on and slide back and forth like you're skiing. Shame, shame, shame..... =o)
ReplyDeleteShake weight.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is kinda legit, I mean, you definitely feel it, trying to shake a heavy thing up and down. But you can feel it if you pick up a giant can of grapefruit juice and shake that up and down too. Then there comes all the jokes from family and whatever friends you were silly enough to tell.. and goodbye shake weight. It was definitely a fad. :)
