Spam Bot

There is a spam bot – one with a filthy mouth – that shows up now and then. Poor dear doesn’t realize that his/her comments are being blocked.

If the spam bot doesn’t go away for good, I have another way to deal with him/her.

That’s all … ~ce

New Beginnings

Well, it’s finally over. Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House last night on the 15th vote. All I have to say is thank God this has come to an end.

Now the Republicans can get back to work, and my blood pressure can come down to normal. Two years is what they have to prove if they are worthy of being in control of the House.

I’m going to look at this as a new beginning for Congress and the American people.

Moving on … the Jaguars will play the Titans on national TV. The weather is perfect, the fans are on fire, and if they win then J’ville will be lit up.

Hope you and yours have a great weekend. ~ce

Ackkk!!!

I’m still glued to the Speaker of the House nonsense and it’s making me fat.

Once someone gets elected, I’m throwing away all the junk food in my house.

Does that make sense? ~ce

P.S. Someone is going to nominate Mickey Mouse. It’s coming.

 

Trump’s Tax Returns

While the Democrats are foaming at the mouth over Trump’s tax returns being released today, I’m thinking to myself: “Big fucking deal.”

The liberals are acting as if President Trump and his wife sat down at the kitchen table with their laptop computer loaded with TurboTax and prepared their own returns.

Give me a break!

AT&T Smoke Signals

Last Friday, the AT&T Internet went out in my neighborhood. They blamed it on the weather, which was stupid because this is Florida and a few days of below freezing temps in the morning should not shut down the entire Internet.

But, that was their story and they were sticking to it.

Me being me, I started making phone calls … morning, noon, and night … and most of the time I got a recorded message that blamed the weather and said agents had no further information.

During the next five days, I spoke to five live people and most didn’t know what was going on but they assured me the problem would be fixed in 24 hours. A person can be patient for just so many 24 hour cycles, and I had my doubts that the system would ever get fixed.

During this time, I learned a lot about my smart phone. It was my lifeline to my family and the Internet. Because my phone is with a different carrier, I upgraded my data for the same cost and found myself doing a little bit of surfing.

Watching a cable show on a smart phone takes a magnifying glass. It was easier to just listen or watch free TV on the actual TV. Reading the many books I have yet to read didn’t appeal to me because I was on an Internet mission.

Also, I was beginning to suffer from serious withdrawal symptoms and worried that Verizon might be in my future.

This afternoon I connected with someone at AT&T who listened to my tale of woe and connected me with someone at Tech Support who actually knew what the hell she was doing. We talked for a while, she asked all kinds of questions, and then she said the dreaded words: “I will have to call you back with more information.”

I had my doubts and started to curse the day I ever got an Internet connection.

Well, miracle of miracles, she called back, and we did this and that with my computer and now I am once again connected to the fabulous Internet and roaming down the Internet highway.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
