FROM A WASHINGTON DC TICKET AGENT

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is in trouble!!!

1.) I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2.) I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts.." Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa" his response -- click.

3.) A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I ask what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!" (OMG)

4.) I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No" She said, "But they look so close on the map." (OMG, again!)

5.) An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car to drive between gates to save time." (Aghhhh)

6.) An Illinios Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m, and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinios, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7.) A New Yorker lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I said, 'No, why do you ask?' He replied, "Well when, I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT) and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!" After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.

8.) A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?"

9.) I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them."

10.) Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, "I need to fly to Pespi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever, smarty!"

11.) Mary Landrieu LA. Senator called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China... After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those. I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!"

12.) A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York." I was at loss for words. Finally, I said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" 'Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the man. After some searching, I came back with, "I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere." "The man retorted, "Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered. "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" The reply? "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal."

Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!
Yes, they walk among us, are in politics, and they continue to breed..

GOOD BOY ROY REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

I am very excited to share a new company with you that has a great line fun line of t-shirts and the special people that are behind Good Boy Roy. I think Zack is extremely talented and his designs are "cool" enough for kids of all ages. My daughter received the Hippie Heather t-shirt I think the design is really cool. The screen printing was done really well, and the colors of the drawing itself are nice and bright. My daughter wore it the day we received it because she liked it so much. All her friends liked the shirt also. The characters are so awesome! There are several designs that include the characters that Zack has created. Good Boy Roy is the original character created as a sort of alter ego Zack. Next there is Z Man, Crazy Timmy, Handsome Hen, Hippie Heather, Laughing Lizzy and Rocker Rick.

What is Good Boy Roy? Good Boy Roy is a new line of t-shirts designed, created and drawn by 15 year old Zack. The Good Boy Roy line of t-shirts are fun, humorous, unique and reflect some every day events many kids may do. Good Boy Roy is a fun kid, a good kid, but may do some mischievous things every now and then. The t-shirts and characters are an extension of the love of drawing and cartoon design that Zack has always enjoyed. The purpose of Good Boy Roy is to bring smiles, giggles and laughter to those that see and wear the designs and maybe see themsevles just a bit in the characters.

About the boy behind Good Boy Roy (we call him Zman): He is 15 has always loved to draw. He raced BMX bikes at one time and played baseball most of his life. Zack has always been funny, silly and loves to do impersonations. He is like most kids but has some challenges that he has struggled with growing up, like OCD and ADD, then a strep, infection which is believed to have caused him to develope Tourettes and Tics. (It's called PANDAS)This can all make things pretty chaotic. Zack's drawing usually helped him calm down, was comforting to him and is something he has always been proud of. He is a huge sports fan, his dad is from Georgia so he is a HUGE DAWG fan!!! He has one sister, Kelsie, and 4 dogs.

How Good Boy Roy began... (in Zack's words): One day my mom decided to surprise me and have Roy put on a shirt. I loved it, and so did other people. And the rest as they say is history!! The first character that came to life on a shirt was Roy, mom thought we should call him Good Boy Roy. Like me he really is a good boy but sometimes does things he should not do. And that is what I have always said after something happens that I did not mean to happen, I always say "I really am a good boy", so Roy is kind of my alter ego. I am making new characters almost every day and will put the new designs up on my website as I get them created. So, by now, Good Boy Roy has a whole gang of friends I have created, and they too are now on shirts."

BELLYBAR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids and things can get pretty hectic. I'm constantly doing something around the house cooking and cleaning. I'll be the first to tell you that I don't always take the time to prepare healthy meals and snacks for myself. I do like to try to keep plenty of healthy snacks around that I can grab on the go.

The Bellybar comes in four flavors: Mellow Oat, Baby Needs Chocolate, Berry Nutty Cravings and Burstin' Chocolate. My favorites were the Burstin' Chocolate, which has a touch of orange flavor and the Baby Needs Chocolate with soy rice crisps, rolled oats, and oodles of chocolate. These bars are perfect to throw in your purse to enjoy when you're out and about.

Bellybar shakes also come in two varieties called Due for Chocolate and Vanilla Dreams. I loved the intense chocolate creaminess of Due For Chocolate! It's thick and rich, and it tastes wonderful!

Convenient for home or travel, these on the go shakes will give you a boost when you need it most!

MOSQUITOES - INTERESTING

Mosquito Spray... Worth a try... I was at the park today and they were having a party for someone and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man went to his truck and got a spray bottle. He started to spray the tables and chairs and all around the playgroung equipment too. Someone ask what was in that spray bottle the man said it was Listerine Mouth Wash. I cannot believe it in minutes the demons disappeared.

I went to Walmart and bought a bottle of Listerine for $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-Spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. I tried this on my doors (Don't spray directly on a wood door) but spray around the frame. I sprayed around the windows and you can even spray inside a dog house too. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly.

Now these are good Mosquitoes!!!

Give it a try EVERYONE!!!!

DENTEK COMFORT CLEAN FLOSS PICKS REVIEW

I don't really enjoy flossing. We all know that it's good for one's dental hygiene however they never told you about how painful it can be if you have sensitive gums and hard to reach teeth. I've tried traditional floss, floss picks, waterpiking, and so far I have to say this product blows the others out of the water in regards to people with sensitive gums and tight teeth. This product brought out the love of flossing in me. I have to say that with this pick, I can actually tell people that I enjoy flossing.

This floss is good for people with sensitive gums and really tight teeth. I use it everyday and I don't really have any issues. The first thought I had when I slid the floss in between my teeth was how waxy it felt. It just slid through my teeth like a hot knife through butter. Also it lasted for the duration of my flossing (where as the floss in the picks would snap or fray), and I really enjoyed the tongue scraper... you never know how disgusting the human mouth is until you cleaned it out.

Some of the things that I liked about this particular pick was that:

* It had a real waxy coating on the floss that kept it from fraying and snapping.
* The floss pick lasted (great quality in my book if the floss doesn't snap).
* Tongue scraper actually works without causing bleeding and pain.

Well I guess I really can say there is a dental product that I enjoy using.

Visit DenTek to order your Comfort Clean Floss Picks. The DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks (90ct) are $3.29.

RESNACKIT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

I recently had the opportunity to review ReSnackIt which is a wonderful product. I have to say that I am loving reviewing reusable products that help us help the environment from using them. I am very thankful for these companies that are helping me be more eco-friendly. ReSnackIt has sandwich and snacks reusable bags. These are not only great for kids but adults can use them too. They come in great colors and designs so there is a ResnackIt for everyone. Not only are they better for the environment but they will be way cooler than anyone else's sandwich bag.

I was surprised at how well the ReSnackIt reusable bag held the snacks and food, and how durable it was. The velcro is sized in a longer strip, the ReSnackIt can accommodate even larger sandwiches like a bagel sandwich. It was easy to open and close for the kids which is important.

Washing the ReSnackIt was easy too. Not only can you wash it in the washer, but in the dishwasher as well! If it's not too messy, you can easily wipe it out with a damp cloth. The bag does not need to be air dried. The stitching is very professionally done, and durable. The fold over design and the lining both help the food to retain its moisture.

If we could replace all the baggies that we use, with reusable snack pouches and sandwich bags, imagine how much we could reduce waste and energy consumption! In support of a greener lifestyle and a fabulously "cool" product, Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes gives ReSnackIt a big thumbs up!

Visit ReSnackIt website to learn about the reusable bags and to see all the designs she has to offer. You can purchase ReSnackIt sandwich size bags for $9.99 and the snack size bags for $7.99.

ReSnackIt is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader a ReSnackIt sandwich bag.

MANDATORY: Visit ReSnackIt and tell me which design you would like if you are a winner.

FAIRYTALE WISHES REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

Little kids have great imaginations. I have seen more and more imaginative play with my kids. Along with their imagination comes along the notions of being afraid of the dark, monsters, and more. Fairytale Wishes has a fun line of sprays especially for kids. They have sprays ranging from Sweet Dreams, and Monster Repellent, to Super Hero and Happy Camper.

All of the product at Fairytale Wishes, Inc. were conceived and developed by Mompreneur, Debbie Glickman. After searching for remedies to get her two young children to overcome common anxieties such as sleeplessness, fear of monsters under the bed, separation issues etc., she developed a line of natural aromatherapy sprays that empower children to overcome these fears. Each bottle comes with a mini fairytale written by the Magic Fairytale Wishes Frog, Freddy, which explains why each particular scent will help them overcome their fear.

I love mom inspired companies. I always have, and it's amazing to me what moms are able to come up with. Visit Fairytale Wishes to learn more about Debbie Glickman and how she started this Fairytale Wishes sprays for little children for all ages.

We really enjoyed the sprays that I received for review. My kids really enjoyed the sprays. I think they enjoyed the Monster Repellent the best as they would spray under their beds and in their closet every night before bedtime. They would laugh because they said the little monsters would run away screaming BUBBLEGUM, BUBBLEGUM RUN, RUN!!!! I was laughing so hard and it sure was fun to watch them spray the sprays where they needed it. I think this is a great product for all children.

Here are a little information about her wonderful sprays for little children.

Sweet Dream Spray: The soothing lavender scent will help chase your child's bad dreams away. Just one spray on your child's pillow can reassure them that the "magic" sweet dream spray will help them have great night's sleep!

Monster Repellent Bubblegum Spray: Did you know that Monsters are terrified of bubblegum? It gets in their fur and their tentacles and gets really icky and sticky. The scent alone scares them away! Just spray the bubblegum scented spray anywhere you think a monster or bed bug might lurk and they will keep far away.

Super Hero Spray: This energetic scent will help your child when they need a little extra courage. First day of school, going to the doctor, hospital visits, going to a friend's house for the first time, and etc... Just give your child's shirt a little spritz with the "magic" Superhero spray and your child will have courage for the whole day.

Happy Camper Spray: Going away from home can be really scary for kids of all ages. Send them to camp with our grape jelly scented spray. This sweet scent will help make them less homesick and they can spray it on their pillow when they need a little dose of "home".

Giving Kids A Happily Ever After!!!!

Debbie at Fairytale Wishes is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader to win one spray of their choice and also a note from Freddy the Frog with your child's name.

RECIPE FOR CAJUN TURTLE

WOW! Only in Louisiana!!! OK! I am from Louisiana and this is some kind of things we do down here in the south. Now here's a new one to try. Here's a new twist on how to serve turtles.

Recipe homemade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs with slits for toes and tail.

Next step. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy.

That's the Louisiana style! Give it a try sometime.

ZUBBLES REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

My daughter loves bubbles! Zubbles are the first colored bubbles. Zubbles come in two colors Presto Pink and Blazing Blue. These colorful bubbles have come out in vibrant colors and the ink disappears on contact. It is non-staining and non-toxic, just want every mom wants to hear! I received a sample of the Presto Pink bubbles. When I opened the bottle for my daughter to go outside and play with the bubbles there was a dark ink looking liquid inside. I was a little worry about this getting on her clothes.

Brielle went outside to blow her bubbles and she wanted to see the color also. She blew a bubble and was so excited to see that it had a nice color and she got some of the bubble liquid on her shirt. The bubble liquid disappeared on her shirt quickly. I was amazed.

I liked that Brielle got to enjoy the Zubbles bubbles and the vibrant color, and it didn't leave no colored residue behind. This is a truly fun product that would make a great birthday favor, summer activity, or present.

I thought the Zubbles were very cool. I know my daughter enjoyed them and so did I. Some wands cause a soapy mess on the end of the wand where you hold it, and I was happy to not have a mess to deal with. I also liked that Zubbles had an easy handle on the wand. This is a great summer activity for any kid to enjoy! I was really pleased with the color and the lack of stains.

Visit Zubbles website to learn more about this product and to purchase Zubbles colored bubbles.

Zubbles is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader a chance to win 1 bottle of Presto Pink and 1 bottle of Blazing Blue.

MANDATORY: Tell me why you would like to try the Zubbles bubbles?
