OBITUARY
I had to find a picture of myself for a media thing. I dug around and looked at all my pictures and found that I don’t have many of just myself and if I did they weren’t very good pictures. I realized that I don’t even have a picture good enough for my obituary! I’ll have to work on that.
Speaking of obituaries, I like to read the obituaries. I started a few years ago or so. I saw that there were more people I knew that were in them. But I was also drawn reading the write-ups of the lives of people that were in them.
And some had nothing written about them. Were they loners or losers? Maybe the family knew nothing about them. Or maybe they didn’t have any family or friends left. How sad is that. Couldn’t one redeeming value be put in the write-up like he never had more than 12 items in an express lane.
Then there are some that are written like books. Ethyl had a flair for crafts. She made exquisite pottery. There wasn’t a garage sale she didn’t like. She had lots of friends and will be dearly missed. How cliche.
How about she was a boozer and one time she got so toasted she walked into the wrong house and fell asleep in the neighbor’s bed. Now I’d put stuff like that in mine whether it was the truth or not. What do I care. I’m dead. Keep ’em guessing I say. God knows my scorecard and that is the only being I need to impress.
Then I saw some that weren’t married. I always am curious to see if they mention a special friend or ex. Maybe they catted around. There should be some baseball card-like stats with personal and physical stats listed. That would satisfy my craving for more detail on the person. Then again, I know God has my baseball card that we’ll sit down and go over.
I see a lot of people liked Indians and Browns or were great with their family. I’m a big Indians and overall Cleveland fan. I want people knowing that. So I’d put that in there. I want to make sure people knew I was special so I’d tell them all the talents I had. Joe was one hell of a didgeridoo player. He was not so hot of a whistler, but he tried and that’s what counts. Coupons was his gig and he got his casket at a discount.
I don’t know why writing that made me think of this, but one time when I was in Texas waiting for my friend’s Mom to finish up work at a nursing home we ended up being there while some old coot was having his birthday. It was a special one. Something like 100 or even more.
His name was Woolum Morten. He kept saying he loved everyone and he would say to me and my friend “I love you boys, all of you.” Kinda creepy like the old pervert neighbor on the Family Guy and come to think of it he looked like him, but maybe he was just letting God know he was spreading his joy and love to everyone before he was told to get on the White Light Express. I was just glad he wasn’t giving out free hugs.
Anyway, after that me and my friend would always quote good ol’ Woolum. We’d say “I love you boys, all of you” all the damn time and in Woolum’s old man accent. It stuck in our brains like oatmeal on a chipmunk. Damn that Woolum for doing that.
Then there are pics of people that don’t match the age they died. I think I should use my 4th grade pic – the one where my lip was fat from falling on my face when I tried to use my corduroy pants as a jump rope. I had a snazzy zipper ring shirt on too. Or that might have been my third grade pic. Either way, I remember having a happy go lucky smile.
So while you got the time, get your picture and bio together. You never know when you’ll join Woolum. And Ethyl and her pottery will be waiting for you too.

MORTGAGE
Did you refinance your mortgage? Do you know what your current mortgage rate is? I’ll wait until you go check it right now….
I’ll watch some TV while I’m waiting. Oh look at Wilma Smith. Her thumb is still crooked. Leon, that Leon. He’s such a Leon Bibb.
Take your time. This is important stuff.
Alright, now that you have your mortgage rate is it about 1% or more higher than the current rates which just hit a record low of 4.56% for a 30 year loan? If it is, check local banks for rates or go to sites like http://www.bankrate.com to find some of the latest rates.
Here’s a story on it:

PORTLAND
The manager at the Super 8 in The Dalles never got around to calling me even after repeated calls back to the hotel. I wasn’t about to drop the fact that the room had ants galore and that the manager didn’t call me back. I sent a complaint via the Contact Us section at Super8.com. They got a hold of me via e-mail and said they referred it to the GM. They said someone would contact me by 7/20 and sure enough, they didn’t. So they refunded the room! Hip hip hooray! Being a persistent cuss pays off.

GROCERY ADVANTAGE
Grocery Advantage went out of business due to personal reasons. They were a service like GroceryGame.com that broke down deals at local stores for a fee.
I expect to see some of the blogs and sites that do deals for free to go by the wayside as the economy gets better or/and as the burden of time and cost to keep a site going gets overbearing. I’d call it coupon burnout. Not the burnouts that I knew when I went to high school, the kids that smoked, did drugs and drank and looked the part, but usually were pretty hip cats. I’m talking burnout from trying to do too much with too little time.
Many sites don’t get paid anything and the affiliates that do pay them for ordering on links on their sites don’t bring in enough money for the trouble. But most have a passion to help people and love dealing with bargains.
