Consumer Report: Get a No 10 can

Tiffany after your experience in China, you should be interested in this product but...

Save your money and recycle your tennis ball cans. This ad charges 6.99 dollars for a Go Girl Can. " When nature calls, you can have a port a potty which allows women to stand and pee. You could throw the Go Girl away after one use, but that's just wasteful."

I say buying this product is wasteful. Save your Crisco can and never worry about your aim.

Aggie Cats

Aggie Cats, Beware
Jana you and Kristen might be interested in this. Last week and older lady promoted Improving the Lives of Aggie Cats in a Humane Way. Just when I thought I had heard everything. She set up a table across the hall like the younger students. I wondered how she was associated with the university. She said she use to teach here.

Anyway I didn't know there was such a program. I haven't seen any cats prowling around on campus. I learned the meaning of feral- an unsocialized cat. I believe we used to call them Barn Cats. They don't want to be touched or held. People are concerned about feeding them to keep them healthy.

The Aggies don't know it but they are feeding BYU Cats in disguise who will grow to be cougars .

What's Happening

What’ Happening on Campus?

It seems like every week is National something week. The university has already had Wellness Week, Natural Resources Week, Improve your relation ship week, and last week was E-Week as in Engineering Week.





It looked like they had some fun activities planned. Quick draw calculator contest. Nerd contest, at least they can laugh at themselves. “Enginerds.” I find engineers hard to converse with in the barber shop. I saw the homemade Hovercraft bowling upstairs from the Statesman, “ The nerdiest of the nerds competed for first place in the Geeky Guy competition.”


There’s so many fun activities and cultural events going on that I wished I lived closer to Logan, but I would go broke attending all of them. It seems the standard price for non student is 13.00 , same as a haircut. Why I remember when tickets, and admission to events, dances banquets was 5.00 & 6.00. And haircut was 1.25.

I searched long and hard to find an event for 8.00. It was a Symphony performing Mahler. Shucks, I like the Three B’s, Mozart and Haydn. I haven’t acquired a taste for Mahler.

Designated spots ( between two pillars by the bookstore) are assigned to organizations and the students set up tables with display across from us. So we get to visit with them and they try and sell us tickets to events.

Last week was the Chinese New Year celebration,

this week students from Dominican Republic barkered tickets to their fund raising dinner for Haiti. They were a lively group in the hall, handing out flyers to passers by. That young man would make a good missionary.


Coming up an Indoor Triathlon, never heard of an indoor one. “Hey you guys want to make up a team., I asked my co-workers? They Walking and biking were quickly volunteered for leaving the swimming to me. For get that.


Here’s an catchy banner.



Here’s an interesting poster. I’m not sure what a Loggers Ball is but I like the old fashion look of
the poster.



And don't forget Harlem Night



Well, that’s about if for now.

i-Pod Kiss Off

Yesterday the i-Pod kiss, a promotion, sponsored by USU Bookstore, was held in the hall at TSC. I thought it was a clever idea, catchy phrase and I was very curious how they would pull it off. Over200 applicants applied and ten were chosen to participate. Sort of like drawing a permit for an elk hunt.That made sense to me. Where would they put 400 people and keep an eye on them.



For some reason I mis interpreted the sign and thought the couples would kiss directly on the lips. NO, take a closer look at the poster. They both kiss an I-Pod which is held between them. I thought the white streak between them couples on the poster was a printing glitch.

The competition started at 11:00 when the lunch crowd started flowing through the hall. Nine single couples competing against one married couple. Bodies and arms draped across each other the clock ticked away. Bookstore employees and assigned “couple watch” judges for rule infringements.



Couples settling in for the long haul.


I put my money on these two couples who were very relaxed, closed their eyes and took a nap. The married couple is in the middle





Two girls entered, which made people raise an eye. I could tell they weren't very comfortable with the idea, didn’t know where to touch or hold. Held i-Pod off to the side of her lips.




This couple quit first, when she became dizzy.



Rules to make the competition harder were imposed as time elapsed. After one hour, no touching of bodies, except on face.







If I were a betting woman I would still stick with the married couple. Another couple I would bet against because he was so much taller, had to spread his legs to lower himself to her height .

Rule number 2. Must put one hand on top of your head. Still nine couples held on for another hour.








Hold on arm straight up in the air was the last rule. Two hours and couples started to get eliminated. I had to cut hair and missed some of this. At the end of my hair cut we heard yells, whoops , in the hall. Were more people out or had a winner been declared.

I hurried out to see what happened. We had winners! Good think I ‘m not a betting woman, My married couple came in second. the sweaty young man, who was so tall, had won.



Here they sit down to enjoy a drink. He’s pouring sweat and she looks cool as a cucumber. “It’s the first time we have kissed.” He related.



Winning Couple kissing at the beginning of competition.




After the prizes, pictures, congratulations and cleaning up, the crowd dispersed. After the Kissing stopped the Hugging Began. Two students filled in the same spot holding these two signs.



I approached the girl, “So you’re giving hugs away?” She walked up and gave me a hug. That was sweet. Anytime you see students doing something crazy, out of the ordinary they are usually filling a class assignment by taking survey, or taking notes on your reaction.” Are you here on a class assignment? Are you from a psychology class?” She indicated yes and kept waving her poster.

People ask, “What are you doing for the weekend or Valentines Day? I’ve had my fun. All this excitement makes the rest of the weekend look pretty boring.

Consumer Report : shovels

I was shoveling out the other day when our neighbor came and helped clear the driveway with his four wheeler.



He poked fun at my red plastic shovel. "That's not even a shovel; that's half a shovel."



"I beg your pardon. This light weight plastic shovel and I have scooped tons of snow. This isn't half a shovel, it's 95 % a shovel. The edges are a little jagged."

Just look at the jagged edges.

I like plastic scoops because they are light weight. I would rather scoop twice than over strain with a metal shovel. I notice there's a crack so I might need to replace it.

Notice I'm smiling when there isn't really any snow to shovel. We're between storms.

Valentines/ Kiss OFF

What's Happening on USU Campus?


Valentines Day is approaching and interesting signs are going up in the halls.


Did you know that it's National Healthy Relationship Week?



This booth from the Wellness Center has been in the hall promoting Healthy Relationships. The big basket in the middle is full of heart suckers and the basket to the right is full of condoms. Sign up for free prizes and write down your ideas for a creative date. Someone said this is a Planned Parenthood Booth. What do you think?



Informative pamphlets are for the taking.



Next to the bookstore the following event is advertised.



I believe this would put Uncle Kevins 7 second kiss on the back burner. I've been trying to encourage customers to sign up. I don't think these shy Engineer students could handle it. But what student doesn't have an I-Pod? I've suggested, " If you win you could give me your old I-Pod. One young man said he didn't think his girlfriend would want to kiss in public, but he knew another girl who might participate. "Well tell your girlfriend since she doesn't like PDA would she give you permission to kiss someone else." Then there was discussion about long kisses leading to claustrophobia. Always something interesting going on. Maybe I can get some pictures next week.

Chelsie our artist/ barber made us a new sign to go along with the Valentines Theme.






Have a Happy Valentines Day
