Whose mind would you like to read?

The Reidsville Review's latest poll has 10 votes.  Believe it or not, someone is actually paid to come up with this.  It's not much, but they're still being paid.  

Enough said.

Review poll gauges readers

The Reidsville Review's readers are well known for their uncanny ability to predict the success of local restaurants.

The Review's current poll shows 11 readers believe "service" is the key to a successful restaurant, while 6 readers believe the "menu" is most important factor.  Only 1 reader believes location is important and no one has voted for "marketing" as the primary reason for a successful restaurant.

I'm not sure how theses numbers reflect the lack of success of The Cutting Board/The Vault/Heffinger-Heist/Halftime Headquarters/Southern Kulture, Reidsville's longest running chain of failed restaurants at 100 S. Scales St. 

School lunch menu for last week

It's been several weeks since you've heard from the Reidsville Review Review.  There is an explanation for this - the Review has become so boring that I can barely stand to read it.

The look of the Review online has changed, but that has failed to produce any readable news.  I guess the best piece is a copy of the school lunch menu for last week.  So, in case you forgot what your child had for lunch for the week of Jan.16-20, you can read all about it here.

Fortunately, school was cancelled for three days due to the snowy roads.  This results in a shortened menu for last week - Thursday and Friday only.

Next week's menu is also available, but I won't bore you with that information.  It's better to just enjoy last week's menu.

Rockingham County Election Results

Here are the election results for Rockingham County.  This is just for Rockingham County.  There are some races that include votes outside of Rockingham County.

Click here to see the vote count.

Of particular interest is Donald Trump crushing Hillary Clinton, Richard Burr smashing Deborah Ross,  Pat McCrory beating Roy Cooper, Bert Jones beating Keef Duncan, Eugene Russell beating Kyle Hall,  all three Berger boys winning their races, Amy Lee Simpson losing the Register of Deeds race to Ben Curtis, Brent Huss booting Nell Rose off the School Board after a couple of hundred years, and the sales tax increase losing 75% to 25%,

I found another Clinton sign

I found my second Clinton sign in Rockingham County.  There is one is in my yard and this second one was found not far from my home.  It's not in anyone's yard, but kinda abandoned on the side of the road.

It's not in very good shape.  I guess it's a good thing the election is only two days away because this sign may not last more than two days.

I have heard two reports of other Clinton signs, but I have not substantiated them.

There's no doubt a Clinton sign is a rare thing in Rockingham County.

V.I. POO/POO-POURRI

I stay up pretty late at night, not Donald Trump late, but still late.  I usually go to bed around 2 AM.  Sometimes I stay up later, sometimes I go to bed earlier.  I watch a lot of TV in the wee hours.  At those hours you see unusual things, especially the commercials.

Adam and Eve offers a lot of interesting half-hour infomercials.  I never knew there were some many double-function adult novelties available.  Many of them come with a free DVD.  I'm not sure all of this stuff is legal in North Carolina.  

There's all kinds of rubber sealants and furniture finish repair kits.  Did you know you can make a boat out of a screen door or make a scuff on your coffee table disappear before your eyes?  It's like magic!

Two of the most interesting products are V.I. POO and POO-POURRI.  These are similar products that must have been invented by elves, wood nymphs, wizards or fairies.

It's all quite simple.  When you are ready to drop a deuce and are concerned about lingering odor, reach into your pocket or purse and pull out a small aerosol spray bottle and spritz a few squirts on the surface of the water.  Drop your load and the aroma is sealed below the surface of the water.  Wipe and flush and there's nothing left but a natural and pleasing odor.  It's incredible.

V.I. POO is available in lemon, rose, lavender, and fruit aromas.  POO-POURRI is available in lavender vanilla, lavender mint, and merry spritzmas.  With the holidays coming up, I'm ordering the Merry Spritzmas for my wife.  It's going to be a happier time around my house!

Still not sure about these products?  I've included a couple of videos to help explain these valuable aromatics.  Enjoy.


It smells like Diaper Gravy!  Poo-Poosh It Real Good!  An Appetizing Blend of Natural Oils.

Chicken shoes

Imagine my surprise when I discovered these shoes standing in my kitchen.  I learned they are a belated birthday gift for my wife.

Yes, those are chickens pictured on the shoes.  I'm told they are called SLOGGERS.  I don't know whether non-chicken themes are available.
