Let's Have Some Fun Today!


First off, I am an equal opportunity "making fun at " person.
Here are a bunch of videos/clips parodying the current political scene.
It's all in good fun and to get you laughing for a change.

First off, the future of our country rests in the hands of people like this?  Please say it isn't so.......





Here's one of my son's favorites......he IS 16 you know so it's annoying as piss!lol....


Then there's this gem....




So much for objectivity in the media....



And here's an early song for Christmas.....




And before you watch the last video, go watch the original one first.  You need to know that Gungnam is a district of Seoul Korea that is like the US's Beverly Hills.  This context helps you enjoy the parody below it even more.......




Now go enjoy this one.....



Now I am off to go learn the Invisible Horse Dance....

Have It Your Way?

Since I don't have to think for myself anymore when it comes to the big choices(thank you Democraps and Repugnicans), I will now worry abut what I CAN control in my life.

Yesterday while I was out "not-so-much pillaging Rite-Aid",  I stopped in at Burger King to pick up #2 Son something to hold him over until after Marching Band Practice.   I also got myself a Whopper Jr(no cheese ever!).
Have you SEEN how small the Whopper Jr. has become?  Can I borrow a line from Seinfeld and say Major Shrinkage??

But wait......here's what I found when I took the top of of my bun......not the misshaped fake tomato in the middle, but around the perimeter.....


No actual onion on the interior of my sandwich, just along the edge!

Here is a close-up......

                                        
                                           And here it is laid on the top of my sandwich.....


KILLER TOMATOES have NUTHIN' on my KILLER RING OF ONION!

Seriously Burger King?   Seriously?!?

The Fall of the Roman Empire Anyone?


".… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses."

Rite-Aid Trip......Rotten Week Here

Well we didn't get the awesome Regional Ad, dagnabbit!

SubTotal.....$28.96

Coupons Used
1 x $1/2 Lay's Chips IPQ(Common Kindness site?)=$1.00
1 x $1/2 Hormel chili ManuQ=$1.00
1 x $1/1 Nutter Butter cookies(Facebook)=$1.00
1 x B2G1Free Milky Way bars IPQ=$.99
1 x $1/1 Gas-X item IPQ=$1.00
1 x $2/1 Gas-X VV AdPerks Q=$2.00
1 x $1/6 Puffs tissue ManuQ(sunday's insert)=$1.00
Coupon Total....$7.99

$28.96-$7.99=$20.97 + .06¢tax=$21.03
I used $20.98 in +Up Rewards and put the .05¢ OOP on my Rite-Aid gift card.
I earned $11 in new +Up Rewards(2 x $2 Puffs/Dawn wyb4, $2 Gas-X, $5 wyb $10 in select food items).  I also have $1.99 tracking toward another $5 wyb $10 of select food items Deal.

I ended up spending "down" $10 in +Ups with this order.
I got junk foods for #2 Son, cookies for us all, 3 candy bars for my secret stash, and facial tissue/soap/eraser cleaner thingy/gas aid we need or will need soon.
The best deal was the Gas-X.  After sale, Qs and +Up it gave back, it was free.

There is almost free Right Guard bar soap in the regular ad but of course, my tiny store had none.  But the shelf of Right Guard Body Wash was OVERFLOWING with product?  What is up with that Rite-Aid!?!?  I did get a raincheck though so I'll cross my fingers that more soap comes in before my Q expires.

I might go down to another Rite-Aid and see if they have any chili so I can do the $5 +Up wyb $10 food again(limit is 2 deals on that one).
Otherwise, I'll just hang on to last week's $5 in +Ups and try to roll it next week before it expires.

Were you lucky enough to get the Regional Rite-Aid ad supplement this week in your area?  If you did, go ahead and tell me about it and rub it in.......sniff, sniff......I can take it.......
