Focus

I'm not discussing the focus on these pictures or even how to focus your camera, as the title perhaps suggests being that this is a photography blog.

I'm a rebel and I don't want to talk about the focus on my camera (or yours) right now.


What I am going to talk about is...Focus Factor!

Once the Googlebots catch that phrase they will run with it, so be prepared to see Focus Factor ads at the end of every post for the next several weeks.

Just warning you.
Now just try to focus as I relate yet another radio-induced, driving late at night tale...and don't forget to look at the pictures too.

It's called "multi-tasking" people.  You can do it.
On to the issue at hand...

A commercial for Focus Factor comes on the radio while I'm driving.  In the dark.  Alone.

For those of you who don't know, Focus Factor is a memory supplement.


*Short pause...Oh dear heavens, how I love this shot!...pause over.*

As the energetic advertiser is spewing the benefits of this "guaranteed" product I begin to think that maybe I should get some vitamins for my husband.  Not necessarily this product, but something to boost his memory.  He's been having some issues with forgetting tools on the jobs he's on...even forgetting his whole laptop one day, which by the way, is NOT acceptable.
As these thoughts are going through my mind, we have come to the end of this mini infomercial...

The announcer says, "Remember this number!...xxx-xxx-xxxx".

Remember this number?

Did he really say, "Remember this number"?
If I am indeed, a person with legitimate memory problems, so much so that I need a "memory supplement", how in the name of good golly Sally am I supposed to "remember" a 10-digit number while I'm driving in the dark until I can get to a piece of paper and a writing instrument?

Is that irony, a misnomer or just a case of oversight?

I would look it up, but I can't remember where I put my dictionary.

These pictures are precious! By the way, there is something weird going on. On the comments part, for instance, earlier it said that there was 2 comments when there were 3. THen it said 4 when there were 5. Now it just said there was one and there is none, well, there will be after my post, but you know what I mean. Help!

B said...

I noticed that too. I think it's just taking it a while to register because now it says two (before this post). It'll get back on track eventually.

No worries.

Okay, after what I just posted, it did say one, I thought it was mine. Then, after it said that my comment was published, it didn't show mine and then Taco's was there! AHHHHH! I need help.

'They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time'

Wow............that somehow fit perfectly.

Anonymous said...

Oh, that was ironic. OK, glad I am not crazy.........

WSMIL said...

Great Pictures, incredible color, texture!
Alone late night driving lots.
Worried what are you doing?
And go to bed already;)

Someone said...

Oh, my goodness! Those little boys are just the cutest little things! First one is my favorite, I think. Yes, good job once again,B!

Mr. Scary said...

Good pics. I'm Diggin' the contrast and color and all that photography stuff that you blatantly deny in your new and improved make-over..............I now look like a star, worship me, I'm going to be famous (if I'm not already) "who is B, I"m B" yada, yada, yada.......Sorry that was a run on senence in my mind that got printed. My point to all this is that I think that "someone" should toss her "frisbee" to "bookworm" so that the drama/suspense can cease and we can all be friends again. And Taco please, please add one more word to your comments! 5 is such a lonley number where as six has many companions (when talking in sentences, of course).

Everybody said...

Just for that little comment, no we cannot all be friends again and frolic happily along in the beautiful field of daisies. So, ha.

Everyone Having No Fun. said...

Don't know if my comment was posted or not because this thing is still messing up. So, I'll say again: No. We can't all be friends again and merrily frolic along in a field full of daisies and butterflies. How come everyone else can be more than one person and have fun with it but I can't?!

Mr. Scary said...

Dearest "Everyone Having No Fun", you CAN be as many persons as you like, as often as you like. That's what makes monikers so much fun. Fun for you fun for us. If there's all this fun floating around why can't we be friends?

Everybody said...

Because. You gave me away. On purpose.

WSMIL said...

Nice I didn't know that!
And I agree six words better:)
Scary very funny, needed that thanks!

Bell Lee Button said...

Huh?

WSMIL said...

6 words Ms. Button not Huh;)

Bell Lee Button said...

yada yada yada i'm just confused. Is that better?

Bell Lee Button said...

This blog is such a phantasmagoria. New word, you like? But it is true. phantasmagoria-any constantly changing scene.

WSMIL said...

personally I like the third definition: a bizarre or fantastic combination, collection, or assemblage. You are right Ms. Button, but I think the bizarre fits us to:)

See we really can get along, everyone join in the fun!

Ashes of Abdication said...

awww!!! i love those litle boys! there so cute!!!!!! i wish my broter was like that!!haha well he is cute but honery but i guess all boys are like that!!! geez why do they have to b so inmature!!!!

Mr. Scary said...

Actually, "Everybody"/"Everyone Having No Fun"/"Someone"/"Frisbee"/"Bookworm" (I hope I haven't forgotten any), you kinda outted yourself. I was merely throwing out a guess, I'm quite good, as it happens to be, at guessing. You confirmed my guess and outted yourself with your next comment, as I hoped you would. I feel very Sherlock Holmesish right now, so I am going to tell you an important secret (all others reading this post please turn away now and stop reading, this isn't for you) The first rule to maintaining your moniker is DENY, DENY, DENY. Keep that in mind and you'll go a long way baby.

WSMIL said...

Doesn't change we know you Scary:)
DENY X 5

Anonymous said...

Somebody just say who he is already!!!!!!

Bumble-Bree said...

Dare me?

Señor Taco said...

drama, drama drama, get over it.
I'll try six, but not easy.
Change is so hard for me.
No new photos B, come on.
Still waiting on a Rob picture.
Six words, just for you scary!

Yoda said...

Accomodating you are to the Scary!

Dare I am!!!

Anonymous said...

S..........run with that.

WSMIL said...

Nice pic Wormy nice your back:)
But then again you never left;)
Except I did not know that.
Taco Change is good for you.
Wow six is better than five.
Cut the Queen B some slack.
She has been having a life;)
You still have us, oh right,
that is not the same thing:)

B said...

Bookworm: Double dare you.

Taco: I'm a busy woman. I'm working on it.

Yoda: Accommodating I'm not...Double dare you too...and it's not THE Scary, it's MR. Scary.

Anonymous: You should never run with S's...you could put someone's eye out. If you're insinuating that the true identity of Mr. Scary involves a beginning letter of S, then you would be wrong. Quite wrong, I'm afraid. Maybe what you've thought all along isn't really the case at all. Please try again.

WSMIL said...

Really we were so sure, and if it's not then he goes back up to being creepy;) Oh I get it DENY, DENY, DENY

Señor Taco said...

WSMIL, go with your gut.
Dont give in to "it".
Just smile and play along.
Nod from time to time.
B, no hurry, B happy :D

Bell Lee Button said...

Wow i thought everyone knew who Mr. Scary was. Sorry anonymous the fact that i have no idea who you are, though, is not going to prompt me to tell you who Mr. Scary is. I probably wouldn't have anyways, haha.
B, we are all busy people but your loyal flock finds time to get on the computer and check your blog, so....POST A NEW ONE ALREADY! Haha. JK. i totally get it. Busy woman....geez and you think Sr. Taco would understand, he is so immature.

Bell Lee Button said...

Ok for some reason i can't comment on the new one it won't let me! Dumb computers. So this is a test to see if this one will work. And to let B know that i loved the pics, and hope her kid is ok. haha.
