I live a few blocks away from a Catholic Church. I love to hear church bells ,Ding dong…ding dong.. this sound is so soothing. I imagine a Priest going up the circular stairs to the bell tower so the priest can hang on the rope to make the sound of the bell. Then I found out…it was a recording. The neighbors around the church complained and they stopped all the bells. I have been to many churches around the world. A Franciscan monk took me upstairs so I could ring the bell. I put my hands on the large rope and pulled the bell so it could ring. I couldn’t hear for about four hours. There was just a ringing in my head.
Have you ever been to Vegas? There is not a clock to be seen. They want you to hit those slots until your head hits the machine. I once took my mother to Vegas. She said “can I play the dollar slots?” I went and got 25 silver dollars for her. My mother had to put her hands to bring down the handle. On her fifth try …the alarm on the machine started going off. She looked at me and said. “I think I broke it.” She backed up saying to everyone “I broke this machine, I feel terrible.
“ All of a sudden the machine started spitting out silver dollars. We put a large container and began filling it up with the coins. Her jackpot was $1000.00. I said “mom put the silver dollars back in the machine.” She looked at me like I was crazy.
I can’t tell you how many alarm clocks I have had in my life.I don’t know why people give alarm clocks as a present. Once I received an alarm clock and there were elaborate crystals around the clock. One morning I went to turn it off and I actually pushed the clock off my table near my bed…and it broke into a million pieces. My alarm clock is really cute. It is a colorful chicken. He is white with a yellow beak and the cutest wings. When the alarm goes off he flaps his wings and sings. Hey baby wake up come on and dance with me. I did put it away because I didn’t want a singing chicken to wake me up. Then I got another present. It was a simple clock from CVS.
I have a few kitchen timers. One in the shape of a tomato and the other in the shape of an egg. I have a clock on my oven and my tv box. I have a Bose cd player and that has a clock too. When we have a time change I run around like a maniac. It took me a while to change the time on the microwave.
I want to tell you ….don’t waste a moment of your life. Cherish every second every minute and every hour. Hey…. My time is up I gotta go!
