Tuesday Twosome

When on vacation, I prefer:



1. "Flying by plane" or "Riding in a car" Riding in car for distances two states removed. Any place farther and I need wings!



2. "Staying with friends/relatives" or "Hotel, hotel, hotel" Hotel. I can keep my own schedule and relax when I wish.



3. "Packaged tour" or "Plan it on my own" Depends: foreign travel requires tour package. Within the States, I'll plan my own.



4. "I want to get as far away from home as possible" or "Not more than a day drive away" I prefer to stay home.



5. "A week or more is a true vacation" or "I want to be home within a week" When traveling, a week or more is preferable.

TV Tuesday

Infomercials

"But wait, there’s more!"



2004 is the 20th anniversary for the infomercial. The first acknowledged informercial was for Herbalife, a weight loss supplement in the fall of 1984. From real estate investments to fitness equipment, and kitchen gadgets, infomercials played to the tune of $154 billion in sales last year.



But celebrities beware - Cher’s star status was chewed apart after appearing in an infomecial for hair care products, and Dionne Warwick’s Psychic Friends Network sent her image from classy to kooky. Who could forget Susan Powter: Stop the insanity!



1. Do you watch infomercials? Be honest now! LOL Now why would you admonish me to be honest? I'm always honest! Uh, yeah, I've watched them on occasion. They're actually entertaining in a funky sort of way.



2. What's your favorite infomercial or infomercial product? Oh come on, this should be everyone's favorite, the Ginsu Knife. I loved all the fast and fancy chopping, the cutting of a nail removed from wood (to prove its authenticity!), then slicing a tomato. LOL



3. Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial? If so, what was it? Er...well, I happen to have three Ginsu's in my arsenal, though, I don't know how they got here. I never ordered them. Nor did I order the grater that grates everything in its path, including your knuckles. And the car washer, replete with handle extension and rotating scrubber, that also appeared on my doorstep. I have very friendly and well meaning neighbors.



~Bonus~ What's the stupidest (most annoying, most worthless) infomercial you've ever seen? The guy who's bald, sprays his head and now has a full head of hair. LOL LOL Just don't try this in the winter.
