Now That's Good Service!
May. 17th, 2016 11:50 pm11:19pm: Yes, all went well with the service! Hooray! I had planned to go home in between dropping the car off and going to the meeting at noon, but the bus never showed! I have no idea how I missed it, but eventually I decided to head to Mona Vale Library to return a book and also to donate some stuff I bought today to make Winter Care Kits for people who are homeless. Although...you wouldn't think it was anywhere near winter with the temperature we had today...it got to 27 degrees today! O.o
Going to the library was a good move because I was able to catch a lift to the meeting place with some co-workers. As it happened though the meeting was a bit of a bust because the Administrator and Interim General Manager got held up and so never showed up! I say a bit of a bust because there was a Q and A session with two upper level people (I'm not sure of their exact positions), so some questions were answered. But there was a lot of standing up, good thing I had my sneakers on!
After the meeting finished I wandered back over to Warriewood Square and did some browsing before heading off to wait for the bus, I never found out if it came or not because I got a phone call from the garage telling me the service was finished. Hooray! And it only cost $206! it wasn't a major service, but still that's a pretty good deal. :O)
And I wasn't imagining it before, the Mazda's power-steering was a bit...loose? It feels a lot more secure now. Nice. :O)
Right, I also made a fabulous purchase at K-Mart today - Winter Garfield PJs! I don't actually drink coffee, but I figured...what the Hell. :O) However, I do have to wash them before wearing them because they've got that weird chemical smell.
Moving on here's a meme before I head off.
Saturday 9
: These Boots Were Made for Walkin' (1966):
1) In this song/video, Ms. Sinatra's boots make a serious fashion statement. Do you choose footwear for comfort or fashion? Definitely comfort! I couldn't even wear high heels until a few years ago when I started going to the gym and strengthening my ankles.
2) This is by far the biggest hit of Nancy Sinatra's career, which includes 6 top ten hits. Can you name another? Nope. :OP
3) Nancy recorded it on Reprise Records, which was founded by her father, Frank. Did your parents give you a leg up in your chosen career? Aside from their support? No, but hey that's super important wouldn't you say?
4) Professionally Nancy has been involved in espionage, singing the theme to a James Bond movie and appearing in an episode of The Man from UNCLE. Do you enjoy spy/secret agent stories? Eh, nah, at lest not the one's I've heard of or seen...James Bond is such a ho.
5) Nancy maintains the official Sinatra family website, which includes a link to the site of Mia Farrow. Ms. Farrow was, briefly, Nancy's stepmother, and obviously they are still on good terms. Do you have a big, extended family? Well my father's side of the family certainly is! :O) He has two brothers and three sisters all of who are married with families of their own. So family get-togethers on that side are big! Mum's side of the family not so much, but we do see that side a lot more.
6) Nancy's music -- and posters -- were very popular with the troops during the Vietnam War. Nancy continues to return their loyalty and affection with her efforts on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. Here's your chance to promote a cause that's near and dear to your heart. What charity gets your support? Water.org! Which gives people in disadvantaged places access to water. I'm helping them via the Tab for A Cause thing. :O)
7) Nancy hosts a Sirius radio show devoted to her father's music. Do you have a subscription to a satellite radio or podcast network? Nope, those things aren't really my bag.
8) Nancy has said that she and her sister Tina had a more comfortable relationship with their famous father than their late brother, Frank, Jr., did. Do you think it's easier for mothers to get along with their sons, while fathers have an easier time with their daughters? Hmmm, I dunno, it depends on the parents' I guess! I get on with both my parents, so lucky me. :O)
9) Random question: Tonight's dinner is on us. Would you prefer to eat at a casual restaurant with exceptional food, or an exclusive restaurant with so-so food but a celebrity clientele? Casual restaurant with exceptional food! Because even if celebrities are at a restaurant I'd bee too shy to go up to them. Besides...they just want to enjoy their meal I'm sure.
Right, only ten minutes 'til midnight! Better be off now!
Goodnight all!
