This is a smooth jam.  Sticks with you for hours!

I was rolling by the end of this one !

Hey all.. Just wanted to share my new finding (DUH, maybe most of you know already).

I just signed up for the city sponsored new high-speed wireless today.  AND at considerable savings!!   I happily jumped on the phone to cancel with the company I was receiving DSL service through.. you can probably guess the company.  I had always always been told by the representatives that I HAD to have a basic home phone line in service to receive their basic DSL service.. which was $44.99 (home phone line being approx.. $23 additional after taxes.  Total bill 'bout $68 per month.  Well well I was shocked as HEL1 to have them tell me today while I was trying to cancel that No, I could actually have the internet DSL without the home phone line all along(that I never use!)... So after a lengthly conversation on the phone with a couple representatives, I was able to get some ammends made (i.e. $ back) and cancelled home phone and DSL.  And YAY!!  On top of that.. I'm paying much much less (a savings of approx. $33/month AND NO TAXES - no kidding) for FASTER (faster by 2.5 Mbps) internet now.  It's worth looking into no matter what your current internet service is.  :) 

Thanks Holly for the suggestion!  ~  Anne, please thank your sister if she's not reading this.

Check it all out here.  It's not available in all areas, but you can put your address in to see if you're good or not.

**Ellen calls 88 year old viewer Gladys, funny old gal!

 

"I love Jesus, but I drink a little."  - Gladys - Austin, TX

 

 

Some of Gladys' quotes:

 

"Well I'm sure that means something."

 

"I love the lady bugs." 

 

"I like to stay local."

 

"Hello this is Gladys and if you're selling something I'm not interested."

 

"These people will stop you just for having a little Listerine."

 

And the classic line:  "Honey, you can call me, just don't call me late for dinner."

 

 

**Another Gladys call:

 

 

"Honey, take my money, just don't take my day away from me."

 

"That fella, he looks like he needs a detangling solution.. looks like an opossum up and died on his head." (Jason Castro, from previous season of American Idol.)

 

"His voice is as smooth as an old barrel of whiskey."

 

** There are several of these on YouTube.. hilarious.. some people say Gladys is a male comedian pretending.. but I doubt it.

 

 

** Birthday call to Ellen and wedding congrats

 

 

"Good luck finding a Hallmark card that's got two women on the front of it."

 

"If we all sang the same note in the choir then we'd never have harmony.".. Gladys on gays.

 

 

** Gladys - She's known for her Meatloaf, Comments on movie "Borat"

 

 

Comment from someone on YouTube:

A friend I know from Austin says Gladys is actually a comedian from that area, a guy. He does voice work in commercials and has performed on CDs with Larry the Cable Guy. His name is Scott Hardy. He's really good with the old lady voice, isn't he?

 

Hm.. i don't care either way.. as long as Ellen knows the real story and isn't being fooled.  I choose to believe that there truly is a Gladys.  But, if it is a comedian, he's great! and has been a good study on the talk and habits of dear older women.

 

What do you think?  Is it Gladys, or Scott?  Were you entertained by her/him?

 

 

This is the model I've long-admired from the weekly Penny's ads with tips on how men can dress up their jeans. I prefer the underwear look I've seen him sporting most Sundays (in the ads!).  What do you guys think ?

The Fleet Foxes, White Winter Hymnal..

 

Where have I heard this before?  I don't know, but I like it.

Love the clay-mation-like video too.  :D
