How I did it
How to wear fake eyelashes
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: Just went to the local drug store and bought eyelashes that didn't look too bizarre.When wearing them out, I felt self-conscious; they just look a bit overdone on me, even with the trimming.I guess I'm just a mascara gal. Plus, I don't know how many times I've seen the old version of "Yours, Mine, and Ours," with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. On their first date in a crowded bar in San Francisco, her fake eyelashes fall off (into Van John… Read how I did it…

How to improve my penmanship
It made me
Eh?

How I did it: This one is a hit or miss, depending on the day and the time I have. I'm takin' it off the list.I do think it is important when handwriting cards and letters, however! Read how I did it…

How to sit on a jury
It took me
3 days
It made me
proud

How I did it: I was selected right away and not to my chagrin. The trial and the whole process was interesting.I went into the courthouse building with resentment (because I was on vacation) and then . . .Before the informational videos started, a judge came to speak to the potential jurors. He said something to the effect that our system as it stands cannot operate without us, the citizenry. He said think of all the troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan… Read how I did it…

buy a new car
Really not worth it 1 month ago

Once you drive the car off the lot, it depreciates in value so much. This is not an advertisement, but I bought my last car from Carmax and just like all their ads say, it was hassle-free.

No pressure from the salespeople and they were not sexist pigs (like at ALL and I mean all of the other places I’ve been). Well, except for the last corporate dealership, where the sales guy was nice,(the car had a high price tag) but I could pick up on the vibe from the other people.

Some men emit a negative/jealous/angry vibe about a female buying an expensive car independently. I never got this vibe from anyone at Carmax.

I bought a car that was 4 years old but only had 14,000 miles on it. It was thoroughly checked out w/ all the reports and my mechnaic checked it out.

I bought a high-end car. I could have bought another new/used car with only 350 miles on it, and it was $10,000 below the original asking price.

This is the way to go, folks, if you are wise, especially in this economy, imho.

I will never buy another NEW car again. It just doesn’t make sense to me and my wallet/savings acct.

Give blood regularly (read all 4 entries…)
Go on a Monday! 2 months ago

Yes, like the Red Cross gal on the phone said, “Go on a Monday,” you can just walk right in. And I did. I was seen right away, went into the room for the pin prick and iron test, answered the ?s on the computer, (the nutty but important questions about having sex with a transvestite or something like that). There’s a question about babesience or some word like that. I have to google that term; it always cracks me up.

Long story short, I was at the snacks table an hour later and out the door 1 hr, 15 minutes later. Met some nice people too.
