Why do the DJs on SiriusXM think listeners want to hear side B of our favorite songs? Same goes for them talking non-stop instead of playing our favorite songs. Aren’t we paying to hear the music and not all of their jabbering? Just play my oldie goodies so I can sing along in my car and play my air guitar, which I only play at stoplights, offi cer.

Why are the Cheerios manufacturers messing with a good thing? I don’t understand why anyone would like blueberry, fruity or chocolate Cheerios. Besides, it’s confusing in the long aisle of cereals, and now I can’t remember if I liked the Honey Nut or Multi Grain Cheerios.

Why in the world did we get all this hype about waiting until mid-to-late October to get our flu shots, only to find out they were out of the vaccine? In another case, they were saving the special shot for elderly for those who are seriously at-risk. Good grief! We’ve legalized medical marijuana in Oklahoma, and now us old people will have to go to the black market to get the good flu shots. Just kidding, offi cer.

Why did they double or triple-up on TV commercials just in time for the new shows? I know: $$$$$. It also makes me wonder what parts they’ve cut out of the shows to get them all in. I’m a sucker for medical, cops and lawyer shows, and there are some good ones out this fall.

I’m also in to my second year of watching The Voice. That’s something I never thought I’d do, and for some reason I have to watch in real time, not on the recorder. It’s not like friends call and tell me who they thought should have won, and the two house cats are usually sleeping when it’s on and aren’t much for conversation either. Unless it’s snack time. Then you can’t shut them up until they hear the clink of a treat in their favorite bowl.

Now that I’ve started cat stories I’ll leave you with wondering: why’d she write this stuff?

Answer: It sounded like a good idea at the time.
