The other day I was riding through a neighborhood, and saw a sparkling white van that was parked in a driveway.  The van’s whiteness caught my attention,  and as I got closer I noticed the large clean, crisp, black  lettering on the side… Popcorn Removal.  Being from the North East, I only knew popcorn as something to eat, preferably while watching a good movie.  Oh, popcorn with butter that is.   Two things flashed through my mind…the van is so white because it is  sanitized, and could you really have so much leftover popcorn that you need to call Popcorn Removal?    I did come to my senses within seconds, and remembered that the texture on many of our ceilings is called popcorn, and this homeowner was apparently  removing the ceiling texture in his home.  That thought  got me thinking and I started watching the different signs on the cars, as I continued to my destination.  The active lifestyle of villagers doesn’t leave  a lot of time to tend to household chores, so there are many services that are available to us.  Some names  immediately conjure up a picture in your mind.  Some are warm and fuzzy, like Comfort Care or Peace of Mind Home Watch,  and you feel good before you even call them.  Affordable Home Watch appeals to your pocket book.  However,  there are others that make you think a little bit more.  Clutter Control…must be like pest control or animal control.   Do they use traps, nets and snares to control the clutter?   All Around Aluminum…do they do the entire house, while others do only half way round the house?  Just In Time Aluminum…in time for what? Breakfast? Dinner?  When I arrived home,  I checked out the classified section of the paper and found more names that were thought provoking.   Six Ladies in a Bucket.. I have to believe it was a misprint, as  it was hard to imagine how big that bucket must be with six ladies in it…and how could they do window washing and cleaning if they were all in the bucket.  Org by Design… do they design websites,  is it .org , no org means organize and they will do that in your closets and garages.  Do you call them after you call Clutter Control?  The Village Hangman…what does HE do?    No, he  doesn’t hang villagers,  cattle rustlers or wallpaper, but he does hang pictures, mirrors, curtain rods.  There are many handymen in The Villages…  Handyman, The Handy Guy, Mr. Handyman, Handyman Plus and if the next name doesn’t stir your memory, you are either too old or too young to call him…none other than Action Jackson Handyman.   I have to congratulate all those businesses I have mentioned, as they were very creative in naming their companies in order to attract customers.  Your names worked,  they attracted me and next time I need a little help around the house I will call one of them.  I hope you will too.
