"Tired Day"

Friday is my "tired day." I've been away for a while, so here are some Fri afternoon musings (or, I suppose, ramblings!).

The Codester is walking. He just sort of took off last week and hasn't stopped. It might have been Sun evening when Ashley said, "Hey, look! Cody's walking!" Yep, we was and looks as if he's been doing it all his life. Speaking of Ashley, she loves "to spell my name on the computer." She can do it, I think, for hours and hours. I have to divert her attention. And, as for the Bopper, he's into his baskeball. He's not quite ready for the NBA, but he is working at it, learning some things, and, most important, having fun. And his Grandpapa is having fun coaching him and his team.

I take a few online surveys. I belong to a couple survey companies. Most are pretty humdrum. One of the companies sent me one in the mail a week or so back. For my "trouble," $5 was included. Thanks! One of the categories was "television." A question was "How much TV do you watch in a week?" I was forced to choose the "1-3 hours a week" option--because that's the closest. I watch some, but not much. At the end of an evening of watching the boob tube, I feel like I've wasted several hours when I could have been doing something worthwhile. There are no shows I plan to watch or look forward to watching. To each his own.... Back to the surveys, one gives "full credit" (for prizes) for completing the full survey (a 15-minute survey usually comes with a $5 credit for prizes (mags, discounts, etc.). Partial credit, maybe 50 cents is given for an incomplete survey or if "you do not qualify...." Why is it, much more often than not, that I spend 10, almost the entire 15 mins filling the survey and with just a bit more to complete, suddenly "you do not qualify..." pops up? Maybe I'll ask.

I have some comments about the Mass election, but have groceries to put in the pantry and laundairy (sic) to get to right now. Out....
