How many items have you heard that sound good, but turn out to be a gimmickjust to get your money.
How about when you need a new/used car?
Here comes five (5) salespersons heading towards you. You watch them as they get closer, closer, closer and then one of them pulls out this beautiful set of silverware. “Free if you buy from me!”
You think what a gimmick!
Next one comes to you and surprise here’s a gift card worth $500.00, if you buy your car from me!
You’re ready to grab and then you stop wondering what is the gimmick on this one?
And now the next comes towards you with a cooler filled with coupons.
All of a sudden all the salespersons say “Hey what just happened?” As they are watching you running out of the showroom.
You made a smart choice.

Ragtag Daily Prompt!
Are you ready for some football? Sunday 2/3/2019 Super Bowl 53? Gridiron to me on this day is the making of food? As guests walk thru the door they smell chili, Italian beef, polish sausage, and much more. Now for the side lines there’s dips, chips, pretzels, cookies, cakes, pops, water, water with flavors. You name it, it’s here. Don’t worry I have plenty of gingeale, 7-Up, Sprite for the tummies that can’t handle it all.
Song below is a toe tapper! Anything Goes by Cole Porter. No I wasn’t born yet. Most people back then heard it on the radio. If you don’t know the words by heart from the older generation out there, words are below. Enjoy!
Times have changed, And we’ve ofter rewound the clock Since the puritans got a shock When they landed on Plymouth rock If today any shock they might try to stem ’stead of landing of Plymouth rock Plymouth rock would land on them.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking But now God knows Anything goes
Good authors to Who once knew better words Now only use four letter words Writing prose Anything goes
If driving fast cars you like If low bars you like If old hymns you like If bare limbs you like If Mae West you like Or me undressed you like Why nobody will oppose
When every night The set that’s smart Is intruding on nudist parties In studios Anything goes
When Mrs. Ned McClean God bless her Can get Russian reds to yes her Than I suppose Anything goes
When Rockafeller still can hoard Enough money to let Max Gordon Produce his shows Anything goes
The world has gone mad today And good’s bad today And black’s white today And days night today And that gent today You gave a cent today Once owned several châteaux
When folks Who still can ride in Jitney’s Find out Vanderbilts and Whitney’s Lack baby clo’es Anything goes
When Sam Goldwyn Can with great conviction Instruct Anna Sten in diction Than Anna shows Anything goes
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up Now turns a handspring landing up- On her toes Anything goes
Just think of those shocks you’ve got And those knocks you’ve got And those blues you’ve got From those news you’ve got And those pains you’ve got (if any brains you’ve got) From those little radios
So Mrs. R. With all her trimmin’s Can broadcast a bed from Simmon’s Cause Franklin knows

I’m trying something new today. Testing myself. Writing about two (2) words today. One is from RDP Camouflage, the second one is from WOTD Zenith. Here I go.
Hope: Do you see what I see? Nins: No! What did you see? Hope: Come on try harder. It’s right over there just before you enter the maze, come on. Nins: What ever you see has very good camouflage. What I see is a thrown away Hersey bar wrapper. Hope: No, no, no. I just took a picture of a zenith. I mean a sphere made from Lego’s.
Nins: WOW! Come on let’s go over there. We can check at the office if anyone has reported it missing.
Tear for Freedom lost, Tear for the ones that gave their lives so we as a nation could keep our Freedom, Tear for the way people are treated today because of the way they look, Tear for words of rage, hate, hostility, odium, repugnance, aversion, the words that are used can never be taken back no matter who you said them too, Tear for senseless, corruptible, perversion, acts from one person to another, Tear for the sight our nation has lost about life, Tear for the lost of caring,
In case you forgot – below is a reminder of what is written on our beloved Statue of Liberty.
Here’s another reminder from “Ghostbusters Two (2)” movie. It shows people singing together on New Year’s Eve to break the “slime” away.  Â
You know we can do this without the “slime!”
Have a great day! Hope
