This email, including a Word attachment, showed up in my irk Inbox [edited for identity]:

Hi [Johnny L.A.], I am emailing you directly because I haven’t received any reply from your Accounting department, regarding my problem. My credit card has been charged twice by [my company’s domain]

Please refund one of the charges. I am attaching my card statement as evidence.

Sincerely,

[Sender]

  1. I don’t recognize the name.
  2. The domain is fake.
  3. I don’t accept credit cards.
  4. There is no contact information.

Smells phishy, eh? So I sent a warning to all employees. Then just for grins, I found out how to look at the message header in Outlook and saw this [emphais mine, and edited for identities]:

"on top of the schoolhouse all covered in blood
we shot our poor teacher with a .42 slug
we went to her funeral we went to her grave
instead of throwing flowers
we threw hand grenades "

Around here the bunk and bs rolls on per usual …

Keeping appendages crossed.

JtC, count me as another who gets an audience when I go to the toilet. If I closed the door, Nelson would just cry and whine on the other side. Shoot, even when I’m at Dad’s or my sister’s houses, he follows me in. :stuck_out_tongue:

Another silly song parody that we used to sing as kids:

(to the tune of This Land is Your Land )

I see your hiney
All nice and shiny
If you don’t move it
You’re gonna lose it
If you don’t move it
Someone might shoot it
Best to turn tail and get gone

Irked, came home in 72F weather, walked Nelson (small dog wind warnings) and et. Working in the studio shortly.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!

84

You know, I sometimes think of that one. We sang it in elementary school. Nowadays, any kid who dared to sing it would be taken into detention, the police would be called, and the parents would be investigated.

85

i wonder if the kids know all the recycled dirty jokes that every kid knew by the 8th grade …

86

Of course some will be unhappy. I’d suggest taking their names and voluntelling them to head up the next paint committee.

I think the chosen colors will look classy yet calm.

Which is always a good time!

W00t!!!

Do remember that you can’t live on love alone, food has to happen on a regular basis as well.

That’s great, I’m glad she is able to enjoy a meal out. Puppeh pets are always good too.

The computer is home and peace reigns. The tech guys managed to save his data (which wasn’t a big deal, everything is backed up) AND they looked to see which game he played the most and reinstalled Battlenet for him. That meant he could come home, plug it in and start downloading Diablo right away. He has other games that will need to be downloaded again, but he will be playing in less than an hour.

Also, best part? Less than a hundred bucks!

I could see a big difference in the desert during the drive. Things are getting very green and the spring bloom is starting. They are starting to take down the mountain by New River and have moved many of the Saguaros to Anthem. Did you folks know that Saguaro Cactus have to be replanted facing the same direction it originally was?

Hubs didn’t want seafood again, so we went to a new Mexican place. I like going to new places, it doesn’t really make any difference to him. He had his usual Tres Amigos and Cadillac Margareta. I had the mushroom blanco enchilada with a strawberry and hibiscus Margareta. I expected it to be very sweet, but it had a very nice tartness to it.

87

JtC Take down the mountain? I did know that about Saguaros. They are such cool, if finnicky, plants? Trees?

I’m nearly depleted on the school board approved hours for working on their stuff. But we’re not close to done doing it. It was probably better for them back when they just gave me a flat fee. And yer damn skippy I’m keeping track of every last hour.

Dammit, now I want pizza, but the really good place is a 15 min drive, the ok place is a 7 min drive and the only place that will bring me food is…not so good. Nope, not leaving the house, we shall explore the cupboard and fridge.

88

Howdy Y’all! Laundry got did and put away where it lives until it gets dirty. It’s a neverendin’ chore! Nappage and day drinkin’ (martinis, cause we were feelin’ all suave and couth) were also accomplished. Leftovers got et up. Thus was the day in swampland.

MOOOOOOM glad you got to visit your mom today. My stove also has all that new fangled digital stuff. Took me a bit to figure it all out. I shook my fist at it and called it a whippersnapper a few times. Feel free to substitute other hand gestures and verbiage, as that happened also. Glad MIL felt like an outin’ today. I took my mom on her last big outin’ and I am so glad I did that cause she started goin’ down hill real soon after. We went to N.O.L., went and bought flowers and drove about thirty miles up to where her parents are buried to place flowers on the grave and walk the cemetary. This area bein’ where she grew up we drove around some places she remembered. When we got back to Ye Olde Home Towne, we went by DQ where she got a chawklit sundae. Got back to her place around seven p.m. and she went to bed cause she was wiped, but had such a good time, as did I. Really am so glad I got to do that.

89

swampy That’s a sweet story about your mom.

Couldn’t resist, had to say “Who’s a good bear? Yes he is!”

I went to a shopping mall once where all the parking lots were named after animlas to help you remember where you parked. They were “giraffe lot”, “elephant lot”, things like that. I parked, looked at the sign, and started singing…

:musical_note: A law was made a distant moon ago here,
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there’s a legal limit to the snow here
in Camel Lot.

91

They are putting a flex lane between Anthem and Sunset point. Of course, that means the 10 miles between Sunset Point and the Cordes Junction interchange will be a worse cluster than it is now, but it might stop some of weekend back-ups.

They aren’t trees, they don’t have a wood stem. Technically, they are succulents with spines. They really are pretty neat :slight_smile:

I hope the school board moves quickly to approve more hours for you, and I would certainly hope you are keeping good track of your time. You really are the only one who cares about it, if they miss a few hours here and there, it doesn’t come out of their paychecks.

That’s such a sweet story. I’m happy you have that good memory of her.

We have some drama happening here. GG likes to “pounce” VBC but knows he isn’t allowed to actually make contact without permission, so jumps over her instead. This time she zigged when he zagged and he landed on her. She screamed at him and then beat up on him and a lot of black hair flew. She’s now on the bed in my room and he’s on the floor whining at her. He’s sooo sorry and she is refusing to even look at him. I really need her to forgive him soon, I can’t count when he’s wailing.

92

Wow, y’all have or know or made up a lot of silly songs whether now or 50 years ago. I got nuthin’.

Lazy day here, wasn’t sheveled until 1pm, and that was after a long sunbathe at our pool. Also got my backlogged crap admin done and set up half-day sailing & snorkeling shore excursions for both stops on this upcoming cruise. Leaving a half-day in each location for ad hoc explorations.

Finally got out of the house around 2pm and did some sport-shopping for furniture and ogled the apartment building some more. Right now it’s probably a mid-May move-in at the earliest, which ought to be a tolerable timing versus the divorce.

Tomorrow early I take Mike to the train going to the airport and he’ll be gone until after I leave on the cruise on Fri. He’ll return while I’m gone. Then I get home Wed afternoon and he leaves again very pre-dawn on Thu for 7-10 days. So from breakfast tomorrow to Mar 15-20ish it’ll just be one or the other of us here. Hmm, maybe that apartment is a useless frivolity. I’ve got a fully equipped big house right here.

Otherwise just coastin’ here.

FCM excellent to hear Mom enjoyed her outing. Like swampy I’ll always remember the last real outing with my late wife. Which she enjoyed a lot. And yes swampy is a very good bear to have cared for his Mom that way.

93

I hit the Rich People’s Aldi, napped, and had a Manhattan. Watching hockey now.

“Building shareholder value” :roll_eyes:

Spot would have preferred tuxedo colors.

You can do a Cat III ILS landing. that ain’t nothing.

Well, I’m sure something is getting eaten tonight. :wink: < nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. >

94

I have a very good primary care person. He’s actually a Nurse Practitioner, though. When we first met, we had a very long talk about the fact that I have an eating disorder and that talking about losing weight is not something that we should do. Actually, though, I tend to have that talk with most doctors these days. I mean, just briefly. I don’t want to waste their time or mine ‘blaming’ something on my weight and/or them telling me that weight loss is the magic cure. Yes, I realize that sometimes it’s the answer, but not all the time.

Doggio, what is the rich people’s Aldi?

Today has been busy here. My art is going to be sold at a new place downtown and they’re opening on Saturday. I took everything that I had already made and it didn’t fill up my space. It’s a great problem to have in one respect, but I’ve been working on projects in most rooms of the house to try to get things made. Basically when I get bored or frustrated with one project, I move to another room and start something else!

95

Evening all. Working my way through a plate of Mac-n-Cheese, did a good bit of pedaling this afternoon so the caloric balance is still good. Am going to try and limit my Dum Dum intake to 4 per day, but we’ll see how long my will-power lasts. Still over 70F at 7:30pm, so the heater is getting a break, but there are morning tunder-boomers predicted so that may cool us down some. The Great March Shopping Trip is planned for tomorrow, hopefully I can find everything with only 2 stops, but I may also look for some new slacks later this week, so some of mine are getting pretty loose these days. Gassing up the car tomorrow or Thorsday is also on the list.

talkie, I don’t think I ever had a boss with that vocabulary, but do remember a couple who, as we computerized, came up with dozens of new reports for us to do…which never got done for some reason…

JtC, thanks for the explanation, succinct yet quite clever. And glad hubs has his computer back so yours can return to it’s proper mode. Hope the feline drama is resolved soon.

rocky, you’re in a position that I often am when I referee soccer; no matter how fair and by the rules I am, somebody is going to be P.O’ed (and I like JtC’s idea). Hope the new mattress makes for a restful night after a busy day.

Shoe, glad G.C could help you ‘relax’.

Flyboy, hope you were able to dodge the snowstorm. And you did figure out the phish, so they ought to give you at least an ‘attaboy’ for that.

FCM, it’s a good sign the MIL could go out to eat, but obvious that it exhausted here reserves. Glad your Mom is doing good.

VanGo, hopefully the school board will get thier finger out of their…fundamentals and approve the extra cash for you to complete the work.

Swampy, that’s a lovely story about you and your Mom. I was on a flight home when my Mom passed, so there was no chance to have one of those moments.

Sticky Buns, hope the sales are good at the new place.

OK, need to watch the A380 land at LAX (you can find anything on the internet) and then be thinking about doing some reading before bedtime. Take care all.

96

The Aldi in the upper class section of town. they have a slightly better selection, but everything is 2 cents more expensive than my usual Aldi
and good luck on the art sale!

:heart:

97

Awww, it’s just a fictional song. Though I’m not bi.

98

This is the furth time I’ve typed this post, It keeps telling me evry 10 minutes to reload or ignore the page, and I kept losing what I typed. I can’t retype the whole thing again, so here’s what little I have. I replied to a lot more people than this!

I am painfully tired. I walked 4 miles, but I think most of it is due to my rage against the machine corporate overlords… I had to sign the new lease today, and in addition to the jacked-up rent and some incredibly skeevy charges, we’re required to sign a waiver pinky-promising not to join any class-action lawsuits. This really tick me off because there’s currently a class action lawsuit against the aforementioned overlords that originated in Seattle and that the US DOJ has joined on the plaintiff’s side. It’s about price-fixing.

I hate this whole concept. I hope you find a new doc who’s very good and very likable.

Whoa! That’s impressive!

MetalMouse, I’m glad you found the root beer Dum-Dums.

99

Neato Toledo! What sort of art? Are pics available? I love seeing what other people do.

My new doctor, who is also a NP has never once said a word about my weight. She does always ask if I’m still going to Tai Chi…which could be a lead up to telling me I need to move my body more.

I sure do wish I could take credit for that bit of cleverness, but Oort cups or jars have been around since at least 1993. I know this because Mom shared it with me the year before we moved out this way.

The kittah drama is over. Very Bad Cat is still getting nose drops every night and Gormless George verbally defends her during her nightly torture session. Once the drops are in, I put her back on the floor and she runs into our bedroom for her special treats. GG leaves her alone to eat and then starts washing her face for her.

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave.

IANAL, but I wonder if that is enforceable, especially since there is an ongoing suit?

Awwww.
