Daytime TV

...this is just a light-hearted post to start off 2012...

10 Things I've Learned Watching Daytime TV On My Day Off 

1. If I'm in need of money, there are many places I can turn, especially if I have a clear title.  The Native Americans are very willing to help, though their money is kind of expensive.
2. People with diabetes should check their blood sugar and check it often.  Why?  Because there's no excuse not to.
3. A brighter future is just a phone call away!
4. If I am ever injured in an accident of any kind, I am entitled to be compensated for my pain and suffering.  
5. If I am ever in a car accident, I may have as little as 10 days to file the appropriate paperwork.
6. If I ever loan a friend money, I'd better get the payment schedule in writing and have it signed.  Otherwise, it will probably end up as a "gift".
7. Even the toughest court case can be solved in less than a half-hour.  With commercials.
8. I'm embarassed and ashamed for Wayne Brady.  But he is probably getting paid more than I am.
9. Montel Williams has just about cured his MS - thanks to a power blender (the Health Master).
10. Montel Williams must also owe his psychic friend a lot of money...15 minutes of his one-hour Health Master infomercial was devoted to her psych ic predictions...that had nothing to do with food or food processing.

My 10 Favorite TV Lawyers (again, in no particular order)

10. the beaded guy from Tax Masters

And finally...

I don't think I could ever get enough of Maury Povich's lie detector and paternity DNA tests!  He has totally cornered this market, and there's a never-ending supply of subjects.  The level of humanity and they way they conduct themselves is...priceless.  This is my guilty pleasure...trashy, but I can't help it!

(It's probably a good thing I go back to work tomorrow...!)
