HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Taken last year at Disney World, I am much thinner now.
One of my first memories in the whole world happened on this day quite a few years ago. It was the day my Grandfather Lefty took me to the diner so I can get silver dollar pancakes. It was there that he told me that my new baby sister was born.

My parents refused my 2 year old request in naming her. I wanted either Grover or Tomato, they chose Erin. But that never stopped me from calling her Tomato.

Tomato, I want to wish you a Happy Birthday! You are my sister and my best friend. The fun started that day you were born. We have had some really great times and there is still fun to be had. Have a wonderful day and I hope to see you soon.

Here is our song.

Calling All People Who Know People Who May Need This

Back in November, I had a lot of FSA money that I had to get rid of or I would lose it to the Federal Government. After going on a shopping spree at Walgreens and then buying new glasses and contact lenses, I still had a boat load to get rid of. I went online and I bought a Phillips Heart Start At Home Defibrillator for work. It cost $1500 and there were talks that I was going to get paid back for it, but that never happened.


Fast forward to today. I had emailed one of my bosses (the one that didn't fire me) and asked for it back. We met for lunch today and he handed it over. I tried to return it, but they won't take it back because it's been over 30 days.
Now, I'm trying to sell it so I may be able to get new living room furniture. The suggested retail price is $1995.00 and I paid $1500 in November. On Drugstore.com they are currently selling them for $1279.99 and I am asking for $800. (I'll even pay to ship it!!!) Here is a picture of it and some details about it. It's brand new, never been taken out of the box.


Used to treat victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), who are not responsive and not breathing normally. If in doubt apply the pads. Treats the most common cause of SCA by delivering a shock to the heart. Use HeartStart and CPR, as needed, until emergency professionals arrive.


Easy To Use - Guides you with interactive voice prompts
Safe - Delivers a shock only if needed
Reliable - Runs daily self-tests for readiness
Important: With sudden cardiac arrest, every minute counts. Make sure your HeartStart Home Defibrillator is set up and ready for use in an emergency.

"Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator (an automated external defibrillator or AED)"
Red carry case with 911/EMS card
Adult SMART Pads cartridge (lasts 2 years)

So, if you or someone you know has been eyeing one of these and didn't want to pay over $1000 for it, this is your lucky day. It is perfect for any home or office. If you are interested or know someone who is, you can leave a comment or you can email me at the address on my profile page.
