For Sale

Don't people know how to negotiate a sale anymore??? Aside from the guy that wanted me to let him make payments on the car I have for sale, I have a guy that emailed me and asked me if I was out of my mind. Really? That's how you start a negotiation? He asked me in his email how I came up with my price and don't I know how sales are in Ft.Wayne? "No moron!" "I just want to sell my car." "Make an offer or shut the hell up!" He ends his email with: "but I'm really interested." So he insults me but he's really interested in buying my car. I emailed him back. "If you are so interested, then make an offer." You f---ing hill jack. (sorry, I just can't bring myself to type the f word.) I didn't include that last part in my email even though I really wanted to. I have been showing such restraint lately.

I also put an ad on craigslist for a bunny hutch that I made. It's too small for my gigantor bunnies. I got an email from a lady that seemed really interested. She wants it delivered. Really? Am I Sears? I think I'm just going to keep all of my old stuff. Dealing with the public is too much of a headache.

America Truly Is A Melting Pot

Joe and I went to Miami to pick up Lorrie at the airport. I thought maybe we should check out South Beach since we were so close. Maybe we would see someone famous. Actually we were there way too early for star sightings. They don't come out till late at night and then I'm sure they don't go where we were. Anyway we saw our share of interesting sights. Mostly in the form of people of all shapes and sizes and dressed in all sorts of attire. Joe was so consumed with the "atmosphere" he called a bar, a bra. Talk about a Freudian slip. The most...well.....I don't even know what to call it, most unusual sighting was a rather large African American woman wearing a black thong with black see through tights over it. I think she was wearing a black tube top or something, I'm not sure. I couldn't stop looking at her butt. Not just because of her attire, but because I've never seen a butt sooooo big or shaped like hers. You seriously could have rested a full table setting on her shelf butt. I am not exaggerating in the slightest. I'm not judging, she's probably a very nice hooker...I mean woman. Seriously though, anyone dressed like that is begging to be looked at and talked about. I thought about taking a picture but I didn't have my wide angle lens with me. The most surreal sightings were the signs below. I wasn't sure if this group of bible thumpers was for real or not. I'm sure that the guy with the sandwich board violated at least one of those directives. Miami is a potpourri of unique individuals. I miss Ft. Wayne.

Another Day In Paradise

Another day in Paradise has come to an end. Senior aerobics and yoga. I had to laugh during aerobics. I was at the back of the room and looking out over the crowd of around 15 people it reminded me of the chickens. There were a few groups of two or three talking and laughing and jumping around. Every group was cackling louder than the next and you could barely hear the DVD. It really didn't matter though because the DVD had only about 4 different steps throughout the whole thing. The women talking were jumping around, but not with the DVD. They were doing their own thing. Then there were the loners chickens intently concentrating on their mission at hand. It was quite amusing. I am not knocking their determination though. I hope when I'm 70 I'm still able to workout.

Joe and I just got back from happy hour. Happy hour consisted of: me, Joe, two chairs and two glasses of wine on the beach in the bay. Doesn't get any better than that. We're gearing up for our Anniversary tomorrow. I will leave you with another "What Doesn't Belong" photo. Try to find the object without enlarging the photo. That would be cheating.

Sweating With the Oldies

So....the ladies of the RV park across the street from our condo have organized an exercise group for everyday of the week except Sunday. They have yoga and aerobics. I was so excited when I found out. Now I have no excuse not to keep up on my workouts. That's the upside. The downside is that it's starts at 8:00 am. Not a huge fan of morning workouts. The other downside is that the average age of the residence of the RV park is probably 70, so the aerobic DVD that we followed today was: Richard Simmons and the Silver Foxes. Need I say more? Actually it wasn't that bad, I just used hand weights and pumped up the intensity a little bit and I was sweating in no time. The yoga video we did on Friday was really pretty intense. I was afraid I would have to untwist some of the ladies if they actually did the poses. It's kind of a mental boost to be in a group of people where I'm the youngest of the bunch. All of the ladies (and one guy) welcomed me into their group. They are all very nice, except they kept trying to talk to me while we were working out. I found out that I can't move my legs, arms and mouth at the same time without messing up. Who knew?

Tomorrow we're doing the "Geezer Glide" and the "Geriatric Jump". Then their is the "Senior Salsa" and the "Old Fart Flamingo". Not really, I made those up. Maybe I'm on to something. I could make my own line of workout DVD's.....hmmmmmm!
