Shoppers be ware

It is the season to go shopping--Christmas presents, sales, self indulgences... Now, to be honest, I am not a big fan of shopping--really. I do like to shop for certain things --food, books, home decor, bath products, and occasionally shoes (notice clothes are not on the list). I am not one of those people who regularly shops online either. HOWEVER, after reading the following articles, I wonder if shopping online is not the way to go.

Toy store shooting

Guns don't kill people, idiots with guns kill people and the world is full of idiots....

Apparently some people have deemed it necessary to carry a gun to appreciate enjoying a National Park... I can understand people wanting to protect themselves and their family and property, but the National Parks are NOT the place we need a bunch of random people running around with guns. If I were a ranger and on a traffic stop, I would want to be sure I was the only one with a gun. Other viewpoints:

November already?

So, it's a long time after the last post...yeah really long time.

I have a "permanent" job now!---with a "mandatory vacation" of a few months every year. I am making less now--due to benefits--than I did as a seasonal employee. My housing is still up in the air--and it is getting into winter time...The "new thing" didn't work out--for the better I am convinced. An "old thing" flared up, and fizzled, like it does on a regular basis.

yeah, that's life...

fun emails

I love reading the subject lines of spam--the made up words, ones that are spelled wrong, etc.

Here is a new subject I have not gotten before...

"Thunderflower magisterial psychopath deformation attorney"

Have no idea what it is about, but it sounds fun.

Have a new thing

Yeah, started something new and completely different. It's going well. Haven't done the whole "Uhaul" thing yet, but the sleep overs have been fun.

spam

Most of the spam I get is for replica Rolexes, so if you need a watch, let me know....

BUT the subject line from an undisclosed party tells me that "{He is} a sexy beast and {he HAS} no limits!!!"

sounds intriguing....lol
