The annual Lobster boat races are supposed to be held tomorrow in Boothbay Harbor Maine. I’ve never gone to see one of those races, but my wife suggested that we might enjoy a day trip to Boothbay Harbor this summer, and I think going to the races would be a good time to go.
I always enjoy browsing through the shops for a few hours, and then having a lobster dinner at a Boothbay Harbor Restaurant. There is nothing quite as good as having lobster on the coast after a day of watching the many yachts and boats in the marina. I like to fantasize about being as wealthy as the folks who own some of those magnificent yachts. I know it will never happen, but a guy can dream, can’t he?
I’m always amazed when I hear about a friend of mine that passed away. I’m not that old, yet it seems that every few months someone else that I know has passed away. Some from illness, some from accidents. Fortunately for their families, most of them have good life insurance policies to help their loved ones to keep their lives intact.
My wife and I have been reviewing our coverage and have been thinking about getting some term life insurance quotes. The economic times are still too shaky for either one of us to feel comfortable without that safety net. In addidition to funeral insurance I want to get mortgage insurance. If something happens to either one of us, I don’t want the other one to lose the house. That would truly be devestating!
Getting older changes a whole lot of different things. I have started to notice that my taste in the clothes that I have been wearing is changing. I no longer prefer to wear my blue jeans day in and day out. They just don’t seem to fit the way that they used to and they don’t feel comfortable as they did back in the day. I never thought that I would not feel right in a pair of Levi’s, but that is now the case. I’ve taken to looking for pants with elastic waist bands that will allow my stomach some much needed freedom. Getting a thicker waist in life is inevitable and my time has come to have to deal with that issue, sigh….
At Blair.com I’ve found some pretty decent deals on their men’s elastic waist pants. I enjoy shopping online, I’ve never been the type that enjoys going shopping, especially for clothes. So online shopping is definitely the way to go for people like me. There are always good deals to be found and since I’m on the computer so much it is ever so convenient and really works for me. I think more and more people are shopping online throughout the year, not only during the Christmas holiday season.
Since this is supposed to be a really hot summer this year, I’m looking into finding some shorts with the elastic waist band. Hot legs was a good rock song back in the 80’s but having hot legs in the heat of the summer really sucks and not my idea of a good time at all, so I enjoy being able to wear shorts during the summer.
Thinking of placing an order with Blair.com when I get my next pay check. I’ll let you know how it all pans out.
I’ve noticed over the years that I have been able to pick out lots of people who wear contact lenses. I know that they wear them because they don’t want to wear glasses, and I can understand that. But a lot of people who wear the contact lenses sometimes have an irritated look around their eyes. I guess I really can’t describe it; I just seem to know. It makes me think that they are not wearing the right kind, or maybe they aren’t keeping them clean. Perhaps these are the folks who should consider changing to disposable contact lenses.
When I think of th hassle of keeping contacts clean, then buying daily disposable contact lenses make a lot of sense – you don’t have to sanitize them, you just put a new pair on every day and then throw them away.
There is no doubt about it – presbyopia has reared its ugly head in our family. My poor wife has had to correct her vision from single to multifocal and then progressive over the past couple of years. In the past her eye doctor told her that if she wanted to wear contact lenses for distance, she would still need reading glasses. So she said that she is reading almost all day, every day, so what’s the point? My sister tells me that she just heard that there are multifocal contact lenses available on the market now. I’m going to suggest that my wife ask her eye doctor about them! I know she’s tired of wearing glasses!
