Just for Fun: In a gas station bathroom, I once saw a light switch next to the light fixture...on the ceiling! Have you ever seen anything odd, and/or useless, like that? Hmmmm. Nothing I can think of, though there has probably been something along the way. Funny about the light switch on the ceiling! I wonder if its purpose was making sure the lights are off when the business is not open. Perhaps the owner used an extension pole to turn the lights on and off.
Today’s Word: pungle Pronunciation: (PUNG-uhl) Meaning: verb tr.: To make a payment; to shell out. I've been pungling like crazy lately, paying medical bills that my insurer has denied.
Today is: International Sushi Day For the most part, I don't like sushi. I've had it several times, and only once did I enjoy it. I don't like seaweed, so if the sushi is made with seaweed, count me out. Go Fishing Day Wish I could. I love to fish! International Panic Day International Picnic Day Picnics are fun. Especially when a water balloon fight ensues. National Splurge Day Though I could really go for a hot fudge sundae, there will be no splurging for me today.
Have a good day everyone! < < < What she said. Have a real happy one!

Just for Fun: In a gas station bathroom, I once saw a light switch next to the light fixture...on the ceiling! Have you ever seen anything odd, and/or useless, like that? Yes, I remember a drive through at a Taco Bell in San Angelo, TX that was odd. The drive up window was on the passenger's side of your vehicle. You had to reach all the way across the passenger's front seat in your car to get the food and give them the money or have someone in the passenger's seat do it. I can't imagine why they decided to design the drive through that way. It was crazy..lol.
