World PC

Yesterday I got a cold call from a man speaking broken English, he gave his name as... wait for it.... Adam Smith, he was calling to save my computer from crashing. It seems that windows was notified by my computer that it had a bad virus. Amazing. So Microsoft called his company to service my machine. Again amazing, all these thoughtful folks coming to the aid of an old lady. He identified his company as World PC out of Los Angles CA. I told him I would check my computer and call him back right away if he would give me his phone number, which he did. 760.269.3834. I knew it was a scam. I checked with my REAL pc repairman and he confirmed it was a scam. I reported him, his phoney name and his phone number to the state attorney general today. They are every where, and they want your money. http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/7602693834

What is happening to me?????

When I graduated from high school I wore a size 7 ½ or 8 shoe, depending on the style of the shoe. I kept those sizes for many years. Then somewhere along the way I went to a size 8 ½ . One would think that you would keep the same shoe size forever. HA. Not so. I just had to get another pair of shoes for all around wear and had to get a size NINE. 8 ½ was almost OK but the 9 felt better. Maybe I could understand it if I had a job where I was on my feet a lot (hairdresser or waitress) but believe me, I’m off my feet as much as possible. Maybe I could understand if I exercised by walking a lot. My form of exercise is walking from the kitchen to the bathroom. I once read SOMEWHERE…who knows where since I read so much….that there are two things on humans that continue to grow through-out our lives and its our noses and our ears. So what is with my feet? Maybe its just that, in my golden years, I’m more into comfort than style, but a size and a half? WHAT is the deal here? Are they making shoe sizes smaller now? Yeah, yeah, that must be it. Same way they are making clothes sizes smaller. It would be so great to pick up a size 12 again and have it fit but they’ve altered the measurements so drastically I’ve been forced to increase by several sizes. Yep, that’s just what happened. Sigh.

And that thought brings to mind my recent mind-altering experience which is not for the faint of heart. After my shower one day, I actually dared to look at myself in the FULL LENGTH mirror. After the initial shock wore off, I just stood there mesmerized. I was never a swimsuit queen for sure, but at least everything used to be in the right place. Gravity came to town and gravity won. Yep, there’s a new sheriff in these here parts and things are gonna stay changed. (spaghetti western music playing in background) My friend and I were talking one day about the perfect breasts. They said they had read someplace that the definition of a perfect size was if you could place a pencil under the breast and it would stay. I could place a Buick under mine, what does that define. And what’s the deal with all this extra ME under the arms; it actually…..sways! So much for bragging up exercise. With all the typing I’ve done in my lifetime I should have the firmest arms in the northern hemisphere.

Labor Day

Washing Clothes

So doing laundry, how does every everything come out of the dryer inside out? Ok, maybe not all of them, but a good 90% do. I hate folding clothes and when you have to take every inside out shirt (and underwear now that I think of it) and fix them it takes forever. So, next time I'm going to put them in the wash inside out and see what happens. Think it will work? Which machine is the culprit, the washer or the dryer? Or are they in collusion, the washer does half and the dryer does the other half? You see ads on TV for "smart" washers and dryers, think those keep the shirts in the proper manner? I never thought I'd get my @$$ kicked every week by those two machines. And the worst part is the humbling feeling that this @$$ kicking will continue till I either 1) win the lottery, or 2) die.

Pasta Diet

The Pasta Diet
1) You walka pasta the bakery.
2) You walka pasta the candy store.
3) You walka pasta the Ice Cream shop.
4) You walka pasta the table and fridge.

And for those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all the conflicting medical studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausage and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
