A few years back, when the economy was doing better, there were lots of surveys about what what you couldn’t live without.  Many of the answers included TV, cable, the internet, and even a microwave.  Now we’re all in a different place then we were a couple of years ago.  Some of those items are still important, but some things that used to seem important, don’t seem so anymore, and our priorities may have changed.  So the question is, even in today’s economy, what is it you can’t live without?

Didst thou knoweth the maganamous title ’twas bestowed upon this day? ‘Tis the day to speaketh like Shakespeare.  It’s also known as “Talk Like Shakespeare Day”.  I haven’t decided whether that’s really funny or potentially annoying.  If you want to participate, here are a few tips from talklikeshakespeare.org:

-Dont say “it”.  Just add a T to the front of verbs like ’tis, ’twill, or ‘twon’t.

-Make your opinions sounds more important by adding words like “methinks”, or “mayhaps.”

-Finally, add “eth” on the end of verbs like “calleth”, “eateth”, or “endeth”.

Do you know the first rule of grocery shopping?  It’s not  to always look for sales or to make a list ahead of time.  In my book the first rule of grocery shopping is, “Never go shopping on an empty stomach.”  I do not need 4 boxes of cheesecake pudding, but my stomach tells me I do.  And now it’s about to get harder.  Someone in advertising, who is possibly an evil genius, has developed aromatic electronic labels.  That means as you’re going down an aisle of food, a sensor will detect that you’re there and start emitting the scent of the food you’re near. Rather than just seeing pizza, you could smell pizza.  I guess it’s time to start carrying a clothes-pin to plug my nose with when I go grocery shopping.
