tv commercials

I really like creative commercials, especially if they make me laugh. Some just bug me. The ones that make us, the viewer, out to be bungling morons until hope arrives in the form of their product. How many times have you 'wrestled' to remove a 50" x 60" throw from your body, just to answer the phone? Stupid, I know.

There is one commercial that I've seen several times, and today's the day to finally write about it. The Hoveround. Now settle down if you or your Memaw already has one. I'm not hating on the Hoveround itsself, but the dumb ideas they plant during their commercial. "Where would YOU go?" is their slogan, then they actually show someone scooting around the lawn on Liberty Island, where you'll find the Statue of Liberty. Okay, so maybe you'd take the ferry over. I'll give you that one, because my next one is so silly. Next, they show two elderly peeps, both in Hoverounds, parked at the un-fenced, un-guarded edge of the GRAND CANYON! Seriously? I'm not getting close to the edge of anything--while I'm on wheels.

Alright, I'm tired of talking about that.

We're thinking about letting the girls get a parakeet. I don't know. I like them; had a couple as a kid. I know our dog ate one...not sure about the other's fate. Still, what if this one actually makes it 10+ years? Do I really want to commit?
11 says she'll take good care of it, but, well, she's 11. I'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, have a great night and enjoy your weekend! (Every time my husband walks through the room, he quips to/about me, "I'm a blogger.")
