Crazy that Motel 6’s advertising line, “We’ll leave the light on for you” has been around for 36 years. Tom Bodette came up with that line ad-lib in a studio because that’s what his mom always said to him.
If you didn’t know anything about the budget-priced chain, just hearing the phrase would probably make you think of safety and comfort. If you do know about Motel 6, you understand that it’s just an advertising illusion.
We really do leave the light on here!
Now that fall is in full swing, I’m sure we’ll have the solo stove fired up this weekend. Fall isn’t as good as summertime for outside activities, but it’s close. 🙂
My extended family — good and bad.
Jerilyn and Tader are on a cruise and having fun. Good for them! Katie’s closing on her house was today, and that’s so very sad. Engaged to a jerk that decided to jet AFTER they purchased her childhood home, she could no longer afford to keep it. Dude had a baby and married someone else (2 days from the date of the wedding he planned with Katie).
Although she dodged a bullet, she’s hurting and it makes me feel awful for her. And in other news, the McKain family reunion is this weekend. So. Much. Drama. Back in the day we had reunions often. I don’t know if it was because I was younger and just thought everything went smoothly — or if it really did.
I heard through the grapevine that I was mad at Jerilyn over the gathering. We had a good laugh about that. Anyone that knows me would know if I had a problem with Jerilyn, she’d be the first to know about it. Good grief! 🙄
Now you know: Salman Mirza, 25, reunited with his ex-fiancée for a drug-fueled romp at a hotel in India when he decided to slather the epoxy adhesive on his genitals to avoid getting her pregnant. He died.
