Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

I got another email telling me that there's a $399 purchase pending on my PayPal account- an account I don't have. But I think the tip off that this might be a scam was the person, who sent the email. Instead of PayPal.com, it was sent by Ianynto Bogantannu.
There's been a serious decline in the intelligence of our average scammers. It has to be the fault of our schools.
 

Yeah!!!!! Killed me a spider. I found the black spider in my bedroom. It was hiding behind a dresser. When I walked by, it would jump back behind the dresser. I was amazed the thing could see and detect me- I don't know how good spider's eyesight is. But my bed spread touches the floor- just right for a foraging spider to climb up on. I try swatting him, but the little sucker was really fast. So, I got out an old can of insect spray. It's got "lemony scent". And I sprayed as the can suggested. What do you know, it did have a rather nice lemon smell. And about an hour later, TA DA, dead spider.
I know it's a tiny spider, not like Godzilla attacking Tokyo, but I'm glad he went to lemon scented heaven.
 
I use cheap tablecloths for my kitchen table. I get them from Walmart for about $2. I have a square table, so you'd think they'd make square tablecloths? Right? Nope. they came in only round or oblong- no square ones. Why?
It's probably the same reason they faked the moon landing. 🤫
 

One of the TV stations shows pics from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Like there's a bunch of volunteer fireman in old timey fire gear having their pic taken. I dawned on me that they didn't know they were old timey. I wondered what people a 100 years from now, looking at our pics. would think were "old timey". Maybe- "Oh, see those big phones in their pockets- they used to do that".
 
It took me 78 years to notice that you don't see many birds in the dead of winter, (duh) but in July, they're all over the place. I have a bunch of blue ones pecking at my lawn, in the back, there's crows(?) doing the same, and a bunch of tiny ones flitting around in the trees. I finally got a good pic of my fawn, but I haven't figured out how to send it my tablet. It stood still for 3 seconds. Damn, it got big. When I first saw it, it was the size of a cat. Now, it's about 3 feet tall.

BTW, I hate this weather. It too warm at night, so I have to run the AC, but it's too cold in the AM, and I have to crank up the furnace for a shot of warm air. I keep thinking of my mom. She would have never spent a dime on AC, and never would have turned on the heat in the AM-"waste of money".
I fell on the floor laughing last night. I was watching this true crime show where this peeping Tom was chased through the neighborhood by the cops. The catch him and he's a married guy with kids. He's in handcuffs, going to jail, so the cops have to tell his wife. Like how do you tell a wife?????? So a cop knocks on her door, and says her husband is cuffed, going to jail, for lewd indecency. She said, "oh, AGAIN!!!". :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

On these true crime shows, the murdered person is always the happiest, most wonderful person, who ever lived, and of course, they always lit up the room. How come some no good S.O.B. is never murdered? Maybe the murdered guy wasn't that wonderful, so when the cops get to the murder scene, there's still a long line waiting to kill him. Maybe the murdered guy needed murdering? Maybe there was a lottery and the winner got to shoot the dirty S.O.B.?

I had the TV on, while I was cleaning up, it was the pre-opening of the Olympics. There was a huge red carpet with all these movie stars and music people. The crowd is all awed by them, I never heard of them. When you don't know a person is famous, they are kind of dorky. The reporters were commenting about a "beautiful" actress, ahh, I've seen better shopping in the produce section of the local supermarket. I wasn't impressed by these A-list people . Of course, most of the famous people I know are in their 80s and 90s.
 
I finally got the little sucker. I have 200 pics of where he was. This little guy can run. I'm amazed at how big he's gotten in only a few weeks. I saw him right around the time he was born, and he was about the size of a cat. There are three new fawns running around, so at dusk, there's 10-15 deer sleeping on my & my neighbor's lawn. 30 years ago, when my lot was overgrown with bushes, they slept here. Now, that it has been cleared, they still come to rest/sleep.
The pic makes the fawn look bigger than he is. He's about 30 inches tall.

Went to the Cannabis Fair in Gilbert, PA. There were over 300 vendors, with live concerts, food, etc. I assumed it would be all 20 year old+ stoners there. Most of the crowd was middle aged+. And there were many in wheelchairs ( I'm usually the only one in a wheelchair) or hobbling around on canes. There's was the aroma of weed in the air. I couldn't get over the piles and piles of buds, in boxes. A stash like that would have meant decades in a Federal pen a decade ago.
A vendor, Yummy (that's his real last name) told me all about his home grown Tennessee Mountain Red buds as being the best. I found out that THC is a universal condiment - you can put it in ice cream, candy, steaks, pies. pancakes, etc.
The concert was great.
I'll go again , next year.
 
It was a crummy morning. My back hurt, legs ached, and I was constipated. It was hot and muggy. And I don't know how they got in, but there are two flies flying around that are too smart to get swatted. I've tried.
Then came a ray of sunshine into my drab life, the Gecko, my car insurance company sent me a nice check. They re-evaluated my policy and sent me a refund. There was big money green check for 4 cents.
Some insurance team actually thought that was a "refund".
Tonight, I can dream about blowing through my refund.
 
Went to the foot doctor yesterday. I'm getting a new pair of diabetic designed shoes. Medicare is paying for them. I wear size 13, extra, extra, extra wide shoes. A few weeks ago, I was sitting back with my feet up, watching cartoons. I love Road Runner cartoons. This happened to be a Daffy Duck one. That's when I noticed Daffy and I had the same feet.
Most people picture themselves as Superman, I get Daffy Duck.
 
There was a thread about concerts in the forum. That reminded me of the thing I hate most about concerts. Okay, you spend the big bucks to get almost front row seat, so you can be close and see, and hear your idols. Then it comes to the part where they are going to do their #1, all time hit song. And the band singer, holds out the mike, so the audience can sing the song. I didn't pay $300 to hear the turkey next to me sing.
BTW, I haven't been to a concert in decades. When you have to ask "who's that?"; you're not ready for the concert.
 
It is raining like hell outside, so I'm watching TV.
There was a Little League baseball game on. Those kids could really play the game. One kid belted out a homer. His stance was perfect- better than most Major Leaguers. The ball was perfectly hit. It was gone. You could tell the kids watched TV. I cracked up when the pitcher spit before throwing.
If you didn't know the game, it would look strange when a player hit a thrown ball, and all the players ran a round.
I watched a trivia game show. I was pretty good with some of the answers. I'm amazed by how much dumb stuff I know and how much important stuff I don't.
 
For the last two days, it rained so I couldn't mow my lawn. It's sunny, today. The grass is getting higher, and my compulsive grass mowing addicted neighbors have mowed their lawns at least three times, already. I'll just have to bite the bullet and mow my lawn.
But not today.
 
I don't know why, but I get the urge to wander this time of year. A few weeks ago, it took an effort to go get food. Now, I'm thinking of driving cross country.
People are frikken weird.
Sounds like fun... where would you go if you could? I've had a lifelong dream of cross-country in an RV. Had it all planned out including the mom & pop diners along the way... and stopping in every state for a t-shirt and local chocolate. It'll never happen, :cry: but it was always a nice dream.
 
I have a bad case of itchy feet- I gotta get out of here. This happens this time every year. I plan every detail, hop in the car and go. When I'm get to where I'm going, I miss home.
I do this every year, and I never noticed the habit. I've lived in this body for almost 80 years and I'm just beginning to notice my annual patterns. Jeesh!!!
 
Yeah. The Discover Card co. sent me a email. Yup, they agreed that a towel co. ripped me off, and never sent the towels. I got $40.64 back. It's not exactly world history, but it makes me feel good that there's some justice in the world.
Now, I hope nobody gets me for all the crap I pulled.

Maybe you could mow a design for your compulsive grass mowing addicted neighbors to enjoy. 😉🤭😂
