Some time ago, I noticed that that a lot of people, where turning down the heat a little.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that's an attempt to be environmentally responsible or save a few bucks on the gas bill. Simultaneously, I observed that the nice folks at Costco always had some new couch blanket/throw thing on display. <BR/><BR/>So I guess somebody just figured out a way to take the warmth along when you moved around the house.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it could be that a lot of people sense the Spanish Inquisition is coming back and want to be properly attired.jimhenshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815834271470133872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27956160.post-51582190049280388472009-02-10T04:31:00.000-06:002009-02-10T04:31:00.000-06:00Hi, Will.To be honest, I don't see the attraction ...Hi, Will.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, I don't see the attraction for cellphones, much less iPhones, iPods, and a whole host of those type of gadgets.<BR/><BR/>I'm not against technology. <BR/><BR/>But I'm not for technology that is ... annoying, irksome, and costs an arm and a leg either. <BR/><BR/>But snuggies?

She thought it was stupid so she gave it to me. I'm not sure what to think of that but I was curious enough to open it. The horrifying Chinese chemical factory stench that radiated out upon opening the plastic wrap was alarming. Then there was not enough Downey or Bounce in the city to eradicate the electricity that thing generated. I accidentally forgot it at my in-laws house.Carleen Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988558624960610823noreply@blogger.com
