TRICIA'S TWEET OF THE DAY:
Is it our desire to bring glory to God or to bring glory to us?   A good question to ask ourselves in situations.

RANDOM OBSERVATION:

**When I was in about 9th grade, I had a teacher that mentioned how there are certain products that we've grown to call by their brand name instead of what they are.     We don't say......'hand me a facial tissue'......we say......'hand me a Kleenex'.   I was fascinated by this as a kid, and thought I'd list a few of these everyday things that we've grown to call by their brand name

ITEMS WE CALL BY BRAND NAMES:


1.  Kleenex 
2.   Scotch Tape


3.  Google  ( we'll Google something instead of 'search' etc)
4.  Brillo Pad or SOS Pad  ( as opposed to scouring pad)
5.  Band-aid            

6.  Post-it Notes

7. Speedos
8. Crock Pot
9.  Bubble wrap   (It's actually a trademarked brand name
10.  Chapstick





11.  Ping Pong  ( trademarked brand name for table tennis equipment)
12.  Coke
13.  Jet Ski  (trademark brand for personal water craft)
14.  Crazy Glue
15.  Clorox   

16. Lazy Boy ( for recliner)
17. Levi's
18.  Kool-Aid
19.  Jacuzzi  (brand name for Hot Tub)
20.   Jell-O 

21.  Frisbee  (Brand name for flying disc)
22.  Astro Turf (trademark name for Artificial turf)
23.  Saran Wrap

24.  Vaseline  (Brand name for Petroleum Jelly)
25.  Ziploc
26.  Velcro  ( trademark name for hook and loop fastener)
27.  Polo  ( has become our lingo for type of shirt)

There's my list.   Seems like I need a #30.   Any I've forgotten?
