Nuts and dickeys

My grandpa loved cracking nuts. There wasn’t a time that I visited him when he didn’t have a bowl of nuts nearby. One of his favorite pastimes was cracking nuts and watching television while sitting in his favorite chair.

 

It’s been years since I’ve seen him but as I sit here in my favorite chair, snacking on nuts – wishing I had a nutcracker – and watching television, I can’t help but think of him.

 

Not one to watch television very often, I clicked on several channels and realized I didn’t have them – just like back in the day when the rotary dial-tune TV detailed channels that only showed me static. After sadly learning I couldn’t watch shows as basic as ‘Chelsea Lately‘ and ‘Storage Wars,’ I settled for ‘Family Feud.’
I watched a few rounds and was feeling pretty good about myself until the ads came on and one of them was for speed catheters. I know enough about marketing to know these media buys were purchased specific to a certain target audience – older women with incontinence who watch game shows late at night.

 

Really? You couldn’t run a beer ad where all of the people are laughing while lounging on the beach enjoying their beverage without worrying about where the bathrooms might be located because they didn’t bring their catheter?

 

Unbelievable. Oh well. I’m comfortable with my life situation. My dickeys have been shipped by Carol Wright gifts and my Hillary Clinton Nutcracker should arrive around the same time. I’d love to share more, but I just saw the catheter ad so they most likely won’t be here for another week or so.
