Calls " we are suspending your SS# due to suspicious activity. First it was some gov. Dept. Then 2x's today it was the US drug and alcohol..blah,blah ,blah. Yes a machine but it still felt good to explain..GFYS! One day it may end up being a human and I don't care. BTW I answer very politely always " (me) speaking how may I help you? "
Comm real-estate already imploding, but the monster is hidden due to accommodations for delayed payments, distressed terms, Yada Yada. Just like 2007, it may take some more time for the cards to fall. Then the foreclosures and write downs. At least 6 months out, if residential crashes.
Last time I was in the fish market there was this blind man. He was feeling his way down the street with his stick. He walked right into this fish market, then he stopped, he took a deep breath, and he said "Whoo.... Good morning ladies"

How to tell it's too dang cold! Hubby leaves for work after warming up the truck. A robin flies in and sits nearly flat on the warmer ground all fluffed up. Then allows me to walk up to him and drop a handful of old home fries right in front of him. He ate and when ground cooled he left.
Thank God we don't have black flies in my part of NC! Head out into the Adirondacks in April/May during the height of blackfly season and you get torn up.
WTH! I go to Amazon to look for preschool work books for grandsons. That and other school supplies. What do I find while looking ? I wish I could link from this, syringe shaped highlight markers that look just like syringes..Asian made of course!
I smacked my (not so funny) funny bone on the corner of some trim coming down steps last night... My god. When it happened it was one of those hold your breath, hold your elbow real hard, and just wince type of things. Today that sucker is so dang sore. Can barely extend my arm! Stupid not so funny funny bones.
Been there way to many times...and it doesn't take much of a "bump" to send that cattle prod pain shooting through your arm.
Cats... And one of the reasons I hate them... My youngest daughter's cat is on some med it won't take... I'd rather wrestle a cactus... Oh sorry, meant to say giving it its pill is like wrestling a cactus.
