Well, I guess the telephone scammers have a new gimmick.  Normally, I don't answer calls with an unknown number and I let it go to voice mail.  My reasoning is, if it is important, they will leave a message and I will promptly get back to them.  But, they never do.  Now it's calling me with a "restricted" ID or private number.......do they leave a message.........nope.  Oh well, adios M'fer.   :yawn:

I put a filter up for the calls that are labeled as unlisted, and restricted only because my "stalker" has/had the tendency to call me with an unlisted number... do I regret doing that? Nope... was it necessary? Yeah, because she's psycho troll.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that my daughters paranoid psycho-narcissist ex-boyfriend is calling to harass me.  He's done it before since he blames me for screwing up his "gravy train" of having access to a car, a driver and the money that he thought he might connive out of us.  Fortunately, my daughter had more backbone than he anticipated.   :green:

Is he also a frequent flyer to the ER?

No, you didn't.  I have no idea if he is a frequent flyer to the ER.  Since he is so paranoid and would hate to give out any personal info to the staff.

Well, I decided to call the pesty number back after googling it.  Turns out it is a number from Butte Montana.....and when I called it the a'hole answered is this Mrs. D......and they identified themselves as a some sort of tribal charity.  A charity that my wife does not give to, nor has she ever given my number to any other charity.  Without giving out any info I said that this is not her number and to please remove my number.   ::)  Anyway they are now blocked.  The google info told me a lot, they are 100% spam callers pretending to be a "charity". For a non-existent indigenous native american tribe.     ::)  I hate people.

It's officially pollen season because the oak trees out back are dropping those pollen thingys all over the yard. They stick to the dog and end up in the house on the floor. The robovac runs everyday but that's not good enough right now. I prefer to clean on Saturday so I don't have to do anything during the week, so I'm not doing it. Sugarbutt has been really sweet to do some extra vacuuming. :heart:

I try to have fun with the scam callers because no one else calls my phone.

Used to do it all the time with the "Windows support" callers. Getting rid of the land line also got rid of those, and while I still do get people who want to sell me subscriptions and the like, there's rarely any fun to be had.

There's a Brit dog trainer, Graeme Hall, who's been on the telly lately when I've flipped through the channels. The show itself is fairly shit because it's narrated by an insufferable woman whose idea of the job is to offer predictable commentary with lame jokes and because it's edited by morons who seem to keep only the cuts that advance the story the least, but Mr Hall does seem to know what he's talking about.

I've tested some of his ideas while walking the dog. They do work, but the caveat is always that you need to understand what the idiot editor cut from the show.

The Christmas cactus, aka, the "I'll bloom any damn time I want Cactus", has been blooming this winter since last Thanksgiving.  Every time I look I see a new bud appearing.  Certainly living up to it's alias quite nicely.  8)

I don't understand how they're saying January 6th was a lie when we all saw it happen.

Is the testimony of those capital officers not creditable? Did Howley or whatever the hell his name is lifted his fist for nothing?

WTF?

I saw a car driving though an almost empty parking lot hit a light pole with it's front tire. :tard:  The tire was at a 45 degree angle to the ground with the guy looking at it when I drove by,  at least he didn't hit it with his bumper and set off the airbags

Dad thinks I'm being sensible by not eating Mcdonald's fries at McD's when he and I were hanging out...

Thanks?

Tucker Carlson lies knowingly and without remorse. Read his texts.
