Just Feeling Old at 20

Let's be honest. I LOVE--basically with a fiery, burning passion--the Price is Right. Sometimes, it's the reason why I get up in the morning, just so that I can watch it. It's my life goal to be a contestant someday. And, believe me, it will happen.

Anyways... so you know how commercials during shows are geared towards the audience that the TV people think are watching the shows? Well, that must mean I'm a 70-year-old with limited mobility. Literally, every single time I watch the Price is Right, a commercial comes on advertising that you can get a power chair from "The Scooter Store" or "Hoveround". I bet you didn't know that you can regain your mobility at little or no cost to you. I did. I bet you didn't know that there's a black man who can bust out the Hoveround theme song. I did. I bet you didn't know that the Scooter Store will give you a lighted magnifier just for calling but that Hoveround will include a handy tote bag AND a sturdy cup holder AND a limited edition travel mug when you buy your power chair. Yeah. I did.
Let's just say that I wish the TV people would realize that not everyone who watches daytime television has not lost the use of their limbs. But, since we're talking about it... Go on. Which one would YOU choose? :)

THE SCOOTER STORE: My favorite question is when they ask "Have you fallen in the past 12 months?" Please. Sign me up right now.


HOVEROUND
