We were at Home Depot. Hubby was looking for stuff and I was standing there when I saw these copper things. I put them on my fingers and told my son, look I have a hand like the Single Ladies video. He just looked at me. “Mom, take those off.” I pulled out my camera and took a picture. I knew I could make a really cool picture with edit on Picnik. He put them on his hand and said “Euwww, they make my hand smell awful.”
I said well then take them off and go wash your hands.
I was clicking them and being obnoxious. They do chime nicely.
I know, it’s weird.
Today I got the ole call saying it was about the auto warranty. The number is 407-658-4336. I did a search on that and yes it is a scam too. I hung on to talk to someone but it just rang and rang and then hung up on me. I then read that the number calls all the time. I just want to talk to them. Yesterday I got a call from the credit card services so I pushed 1 and finally a lady, jamacan sounding answered. I said “What company are you with?” She answere “Account Services.” I said “Really, Account Services is the name of your company.” She said yes. I said “What is your address?” She hung up so fast, didn’t even answer me. I think if I ever do get to talk to these people I am so going to screw with them. I am going to act all interested and then when they want information, I will tell them my name is F. last name Uck. I live on Eat shit and Die ave, Hells Bells. My credit card number is 123456789. I drive a Yugo model Away.
I just read some guy did this: Recorded message about Auto waranty about to expire. Pressed 1 to be connected and wasted about 10 minutes of the guy’s time: Muh car warenty bout ta espire? oh no! What I gonna do? Which car you asking bout? You must mean the 89 celica I bought from joe up the street. He didnt tell me bout no warentee…Now ifin the warrenntee is in his name how do I change to me? (he said it was 3 grand!)Shucks! Now did Joe give you my number? I think Joe owes me some money back not tellin me bout warentee gonna espire! Whay aintcha answerin muh qwestshuns?….” before he figured out I was just F*ing with him and he hung up on me! It doesnt look like the phone companies or the FCC is going to do anything about These d-bags- so if you have time: waste theirs!
I might just read that to them too. I read that there is nothing you can do about this. If you ask them who they are, they hang up. The are total dirt bags.
This is one night long ago with my ex-husband.
My husband wanted to go to a party at his parents house. There were a few people there. His mom was loud and she liked to drink and party. I felt like an outsider. There was this woman there constantly flirting with my husband. He pretty much ignored me and was hanging around her. I would notice they would go outside in the back yard a lot. They went outside and sat by the pool with their feet dangling in the water. I went into the bathroom and saw there was a little window over looking the back yard. He had kept telling me that he wasn’t doing anything, he was just talking to her. I peeked out the window to watch them. I didn’t trust her, the way she looked at him. She was sitting really close to him. Then they were entwining their feet together in the water. She was rubbing her foot up and down his leg. They were talking and rubbing feet and laughing. It was like daggers in my heart. I had always thought he was cheating on me, but he always denied it. He once even got an STD and the doctor told me it was from having sex with someone, but he told me he got it from a toilet seat. See he would get off work on Friday and stay out all night and drag home the next day. So here he was flirting with this woman and she didn’t care that I was there. I finally went to the back yard and asked him to talk to me. I told him “How could you do that, I am right here and you are off in the dark sitting next to her, rubbing her legs and whispering to her.” He said, “Just go on home, I am going to stay here.” I was miserable. I walked outside in the front yard and he followed me, yelling at me to go home. Then he threw his drink into my eyes. It burned my eyes. He then punched me in the eye. I got up and went to get into the van to go home. He started kicking in the doors of the van and got in and kicked the dash and made a big dent in the dash. He then started choking me. I think his brother stopped him. His mother told me not to call the police. My face hurt where he had hit me. I could not believe what had just happened. I said I just wanted to leave. She kept telling me not to call the police. I should have but she talked me out of it. I drove over to a friend’s house and stayed the night. I was so upset. I went home the next day and he finally came home. He begged me to stay that he would never do that again. I had just had enough of his lies and drinking and staying out all the time and after me had hit me, I was not going to stick around to let that happen again. I just wanted a divorce. We got one and every so often he would give me this hard luck story and beg me to loan him money. I did a couple of times but he never paid me back, so I just stopped. It would have always been a poison marriage. I am glad I did not give him any more chances.
My garden from last year was pretty good. I only grew tomatoes and peppers and onions. I want to grow more this year so my husband made my garden area twice as big. I dug up all the old dirt and raked it around the entire area. I needed a lot more soil. I went to Ace hardware and bought 17 bags of top soil and hubby poured it out of the bags and raked it around. We then went to Wal-mart and bought 20 bags of their top soil. Hubby raked it around. The Wal-mart soil is not that great compared to the Ace Hardware top soil and the Ace soil is only 4 cents more. I then went back to Ace and bought 24 more bags. It covered it pretty good, but I still need more. I am going to buy some good garden soil, the Miracle Grow one and rake it around the whole garden too. My seeds that I planted are really starting to grow good. The pole beans are just growing crazy. I just planted one of them in a bigger pot and put a stake in it. I just looked and it has wrapped itself around the stick and is growing longer than the stick in just a couple of hours.
I need a longer stake.
The tomato seed I planted were growing slowly. I just went in the 
room they are in to take a picture and the tomato plants looked like they got bigger too. I just looked at them around 5 but they grew a lot since then. See —->
I saw a tomato plant at Wal-Mart and bought it because I didn’t think they were going to do that good. Maybe they decided to kick it up a notch because I brought the new guy home and put him on the table. He said to them “Hey I am bigger than you, so I rule.” They must have said “Well we will show him and they doubled in size. Those little plants are starting to impress me. They even grew fuzzies on their stem. 
<—See fuzzies. This is on a bigger tomato plant that I am growing. He is doing Great.
I even bought 2 pepper plants today, because my pepper plants that I planted did’nt look too great but tonight they are starting to do better too.
I took this picture of a ad in a magazine. It is for Pergo flooring.
I added the thought bubble, and the sentence below the dog, those are not in the original. The thing I don’t like about this ad is that the little girl poured out the red nail polish onto the floor. I don’t care what kind of floor you have, you don’t pour red nail polish on a floor. Mom is off in the other room tending to her flowers, oblivious to the mess in the kitchen. Speaking of mess, look at the counters. The have so much stuff on every inch of counter space that you could not find anyplace to prepare even a sandwich. I just hope some little girl does not open this magazine and get the great ideal to pour out red nail polish onto the floor and paint her dogs nails.
I can just imagine the dog running though the nail polish and tracking it all over the house.
I saw this commercial today several times. I was watching Good Morning America. Every time there was a commercial break this commercial was on about putting granite over your exhisting counter tops. The lady would say how ugly her kitchen was but now it is so beautiful. They show her kitchen before and then after. I then noticed something.
She has white tile counter tops. Stove on the island. Paper towel under the back counter. I think it looks fine. Then she just gushes about how beautiful her new counter top is. They place the granite over your old counter top. 
They moved the paper towel holder and put flowers on the counter and took down her spice racks. Looks like she got a backsplash on the walls.
But I wouldn’t be to thilled because now she does not have a stove top.
Then the do another angle. It has these white lines down the sides that they glued the granite together. I guess she doesn’t need to cook anymore.
Yesterday the phone rang. I picked it up and it was a recording about some credit card services. I hung up the phone. The calls have came a lot and I am on the do not call list. I checked caller id and the number is 850-438-7434. I call the number back to tell them to stop calling me. I get a message that the phone is a non working phone number.
I do an internet search and I find that the number is a scam. Some people wrote that when they do talk to a person, they try to get all your ID stuff, like your social security number and card number and other identity stuff. If you ask them who they are to report them to the FCC they hang up. The call back number is fake.
I then see a video on ABC news about this scam where they go through this service and can change the caller ID number to a bank and pretend to be a bank calling you to get your account number and personal information. That must be how they can change the call back number to a fake one too. They can change their voice and phone number.
Just remember, a credit card company will not cal lyou asking you for your account number. They should give it to you. If there is suspicious activity on your card, they won’t call you, they will just freeze the card, so you have to call them to make it usable.
I also read that if you do press 1 or 2 like they ask you to do in the phone recording that you are listening to, don’t press the numbers. Sometimes it will switch you to another country and you will be charged for a huge long distance bill. I don’t press anything. If a machine calls me, I just hang up.
Here is a video on ABC news about the scam. Watch it and just be aware that people are doing this and don’t give anyone on the phone calling you any information about your account numbers or pin numbers or social security numbers. http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7328695
Saturday morning, right at breakfast time there was a loud thump on the window. Something hit the window pretty hard. My husband said “What was that?” He got up from the table and looked outside. There was a bird on the ground. He had hit the window and fell down on our patio. 
He was laying on his back, not moving. I ran and put on my gloves and went outside. He was very still.
I picked it up gently. 
I sat down on the grass and let him sit on my hand. I think he was dazed.
I just sat there and he just sat there. I told him it was ok, he just knocked himself out. He was safe with me. He still just sat there.
I took him to my backyard and put him on the deck. All his bird friends were flying around. I have these Holly bushes with red berries. They like to dive into the bushes and eat the berries.
He sat there for a while. I sat right beside him.
He looked around but he didn’t move.
I was worried about the little bird. He just sat there. He finally just took off and flew awy.
This Week’s T
en Word Challenge is: acrobat; grocery store; ceiling fan; dandelion; bumble bee; alabaster; scissors; chartreuse; strenuously; cube
I am just doing the 10 word challenge. To participate go here.
Dandelion worked in a traveling circus. She was a lion tamer. Sometimes those claws on the lions were like scissors, they would rip her beautiful blouse when they took a “playful” swipe at her. She didn’t get out much in the sun and she had beautiful alabaster skin. She always wore chartreuse because the color went well with her coloring. She would work strenuously on her act. She was trying to make the lions go into a cube. Some days they would just glare at her and do nothing. The days that she went to the grocery store and bought a big juicy steak and then, slinging it around over her head like a ceiling fan, going in a circle, would be the days the lions perked up and did their tricks.
She used to be an acrobat. One day when she was performing her act, while jumping up high on a guys shoulders and standing there trying to balance herself, a bumble bee landed on her nose and stung her. She tumbled off, not too gracefully. That is the day she decided to try lion taming.
I was looking at Webshots blog and they sometimes have photo challenges. This current challenge is to do spring flowers especially tulips. Now this guy down the street has these really pretty tulips planted pretty close to the road. He is an older guy and he has his yard all planted with flowers. I grabbed my camera and started walking around, taking pictures of wild flowers. I am in this group on Facebook that you take pictures of things that start with a letter of the alphabet. Tomorrow we are on Z. Today we are on Y, so I put up a yellow flower. You know, Y for Yellow. Join in if you want to do that sort of thing. Well anyway I found my Z. I then walked over to the house with the tulips.
I stood in the road and snapped a couple of pictures and then went over closer and took a picture. It was only like 2 feet from the road. the tulips were so beautiful. There were red ones and yellow ones and some with yellow and splashes of orange. 
I took them quick and turned to go back home. All of the sudden this giant black dog ran around the corner. The guy has a side garage. The dog ran at me and was standing in the road barking at me. Then the man who lived there came out of his garage and started calling his dog. The dog kept getting closer and closer. He was barking and growing and pulling back his gums showing all his teeth. His teeth looked huge. His hair was standing up on his back and he was getting closer and closer and growling. I kept looking at the guy and he kept yelling at his dog but the dog kept getting closer. I said “I was looking at your pretty flowers and your dog is barking at me.” He said “Oh he won’t hurt you.” I looked at the dog. He was looking like he was going to lunge at me. The man finally came and got his dog. The dog barked as he was pulling him away. My heart was pounding, I was scared. I am just glad the dog didn’t bite me. I turned and went back down the street. I can’t believe the guy didn’t have his mean dog on a leash. He has a fenced in yard, why did he let his dog run around out of the fence. I was in the road and he was in the road too.
