Fun

Adorable Daughter came up with a new monetary term: quadillon dollars. I wonder how many zeros that has! Brilliant.

When music videos first came out, I think music* stars thought this would be a clever way to market their music – you know, appeal to the visual learners.  I don’t think they thought it would essentially quadruple their workload – learning ‘acting’ parts/dance moves – not to mention hiring of directors, writers, models, dancers.

While we don’t make any music videos at Saturday MP, I can’t help but relate to this model and blame the Internet for making us more work.  Sure, we sell Mini-Compressor on the Internet.  We market on the Internet.  We look up movie times on the Internet.  We love the Internet.  It has made us money, but it has made us more work too.

There’s a barber shop in our neighbourhood.  He’s recently cut his hours.  I’ve never met him before but I imagine he’s near retirement and would like to spend his hard earned money on trips and precious time with the grandkids.  I kinda imagine him to be like the Wealthy Barber.  Anyway.  He cut his hours.  He’s only open limited hours 4 days a week.  Ironically, his shop is next to a former bank.  I got a few laughs when I told Chris it would be funny if we could get pictures of the new barber’s hours next to the bank’s hours.

Let’s get this straight.  If anyone wants to give us money, we’ll gladly take it.  We’d be even happier if it was money for the sale of Mini-Compressor, but we’re not too picky.

We currently accept payment through all major credit cards as well as Paypal, though an account is not required.   We’ve toyed with alternative ideas.  And by alternative, we really mean alternative.  Like, big fat novelty cheques:

“W” was the letter of the week in Darling Daughter’s class a few weeks ago.  You know what I wished?  That Mini-Compressor would compress the wascally weeds in our Behemoth Garden.  Right-click on behemoth weeds and voila… smaller weed no long takes over space where the strawberries are and I can dig it out easier.  Nice, right?
