Guys, if your wife comes to youand says, Honey I want you toplan
a day off in the next couple
of weeks so we can go together to thisheavenly placeyou know
just you andIwell spend the day together itll beso romantic and so
much fun.OK?
Dont.I repeat, dont say yes. Ask questions.
Find outwhere youllbe going andwhat youllbe doing.Here are afew
questionsto ask:
1. Were notgoing shop-ping togetherright?
2. Is thisgoing to cost anything and if yes howmuch?
3. Is there a maze involved?4. Will we be walking long
distances,
stopping frequently to ogle home goods?If the answer to one or
more of your
questions is yes, youll need to have abargaining chip prepared
or youre goingdown.
Suggestions: If I go with you, can Ispend the day with the guys
at theBengals/OSU/insert fav team here game,weekend fishing trip
with the guys. Ormy fav, If I go can I finally get thatPorsche Ive
been talking about for thelast 40 years.
Yes its that serious. You need to beprepared, Im warning you. I
was not. Ithought I was going on a lake trip, or toan amusement
park in the great out-doors, it was going to be a day of
excite-ment and fun. The little child in me wasjumping up and down
like I was atBounce U on a five-hour bounce ticket.
Did we go to the lake or the park, NO.We went to a humongous
Swedish mazecalled IKEA.
Lucy made her selections within thefirst two hours, but I should
have blindfolded her till we entered the warehousefor pick up. She
would make at leastanother 79 stops as we navigated themaze turning
right, left, right, left overand over each bringing a scream of
joyand OMG I love this store.
Then came crunch time, trying to stuffeverything into the Vibe.
We tried every
conceivable way but it was a no go. Sawthe sign about a
four-hour rental truckfor $19.95 and were rolling up the
inter-state before you could say Ochocinco.
Then came two return trips whichwere limited to about an hour
eachtol-erable. Let it be known that there are
people driving hours to visit this store. Italked to several
during our trips.
Just Be Prepared Boy Scouts. Makesure youre ready with your
bargainingchip. Entrepreneurs you may want toconsider opening a
sports bar/restaurantacross the street with shuttle service.Your
wife could shop, load your vehicleand then call you to let you know
its timeto go home. You could grab the shuttleover to the parking
lot or she could pickyou up. Youll probably be able to catchat
least two full games while she shops ifyou go on the weekend.
Some interesting bits of informationthat need to be shared
immediately:
1. Americans on the average consumemore than 18 acres of pizza
every day.
(My epitaph: I bought the pizza farm)2. You are more likely to
be killed by a
champagne cork than by a poisonous spi-der. (Make a note to
avoid champagnecorks at all timesrun the other way.)
3. Some lions mate more than 50 timesa day (The rest of the time
they just cud-dle and kiss)
4. Elephants are the only animals thatcant jump. (Have they
heard aboutBounce U?)
Some people you know and what theirfirst day in kindergarten was
like: JohnBoehner: Johnmissed his firstday due to agolf outing Lady
GaGa:Read her firstbook PokerFace and shegot an A onthe
comprehen-sion test BernieMadoff:Confused theentire staffwith his
arith-metic skills onhis first day LindsayLohan: Nevershowed
up(some people never change) Paris Hilton: Was vacationing
inFrance
Mel Gibson: Was sent home early forflipping off his teacher
Tiger Woods: Had an undisclosed dateat an undisclosed movie theater
he latercaught up with Boehner and they played9 together at a par 3
course at an undis-closed location.

Rates of prescriptiondrug abuse in the U.S. areincreasing at
alarmingrates, as are the number ofaccidental poisonings
andoverdoses due to thesedrugs. Studies show that amajority of
abused pre-sc riptio n drugs areobtained from family andfriends,
including from thehome medicine cabinet. Inaddition, many
Americans
do not know how to proper-ly dispose of their unusedmedicine,
often flushingthem down the toilet orthrowing them away -
bothpotential safety and healthhazards.
Prescription drug abuseis the Nations fastest-grow-ing drug
problem, and take-back events like this oneare an indispensable
toolfor reducing the threat thatthe diversion and abuse ofthese
drugs pose to publichealth, Director of National Drug ControlPolicy
Gil Kerlikowskesaid. The Federal/State/andlocal collaboration
repre-
sented in this initiative iskey in our national efforts toreduce
pharmaceutical drugdiversion and abuse.
