Stuff I find interesting

I like to know how things are made. I always watch those television shows about how candy and toys and other stuff is made because it’s interesting to me and because I’m just that geeky. One thing I’ve always been interested in is how plastic bags are made. Because the idea that we take old plastic, melt it down and then form it into a reusable product is simply fascinating to me.

I ran across a site that had Sideweld bag making machines for sale. I really had no idea there was a market for such things, then after I thought about it for a minute, it made perfect sense. Surely the machines are sold and buyers use them to make new bags. Brilliant!

And from what I’ve read these machines are quite high tech also. Now I need to find a video that shows me how the bags are made and what types of plastic are used to do so. Because this is way more interesting than doing my homework. Just sayin.

Christmas Is Coming, start getting your gift ideas together now

I need a new watch. When I was browsing online, because I really do hate shopping as much as I hate vacuuming, I came across the Carrera tag heuer line and wow, what a nice line! It’s hard to think that one could come across some watches and think now that’s a nice watch but I did. And I’m only slightly perturbed that that I don’t have any one to buy one for. Especially with the holidays just around the corner.

Wordless Wednesday

Fur cowboy hats are in

I married a cowboy.  He was tall, dark and handsome and when he wore his black cowboy hat, my heart went pitter patter pitter patter and my head would swoon.  I grew up around cowboys and for a few years, I taught country line dancing. I still wear cowboy boots and listen to country music. I'm true to my roots.  Back then, I am sure, if we showed up wearing  Fur Cowboy Hats  we would have received more than a few strange looks.  Now days, the times they are a changing.  Fashion has changed, and I’ll admit it, it’s kinda funky and I kinda like it.

Make Music or Play Music?

Sunday the 7th was my husband’s birthday. Tuesday the 9th was my brother-in-law’s birthday. Wednesday was my birthday. Today is my nephew’s birthday. Sunday the 14th is the 18 year anniversary of the day I met the husband. It is also my brother’s birthday. Monday the 15th is my other brother’s birthday. The 20th is my niece’s birthday. I think there were people who were plenty cold in January and had no other resources for warmth than each other. Thankfully. Because really, if every one of our parents had, say a guitar habit to keep them warm in January and spent all their time playing music on the fender amps at musicians friend instead of making music? We would have a lot less October birthdays!
