Random Stuff

I called my mother the other day and she had me laughing. She started going on about “all this technology”. She got some letter about paying a bill on line. Some other letter that said if you have any questions about some change in a utility policy check the web site. She was also having problems with her phone and when she called these people she said “It took me ten minutes and I had to punch a thousand numbers before I got to a live person.”

She said it took her over an hour to pay two bills and get someone to talk to her about her broken phone. By the time it was over she was so outdone she had to go to bed! We were both rolling! She told one lady “look, I got the money and I want to give it to you. Please just send me a bill. I’m too old for this!! I begging you just take the money!” She said by the time she was done on the phone she had the lady in hysterics and – more importantly – they are sending her a bill in the mail.

Someone asked me of Facebook how do you deal with a friend who she believes put her family at risk. Personally if I had such a friend I would tell them how I felt – calmly, but firmly, thus explaining my refusal to continue the friendship – in it’s current form. Might talk to them on the phone on occasion but when it comes to my family I don’t tip toe around. Frankly, I don’t even understand the dilemma. But maybe it’s just me. I have been told that I can be curt and cold when I believe someone has fooled with one of my “Core Issues.”

I have a surprise I am working on. I think you might like it. If It is going to actually happen I should know in two weeks. One hint: The Road.

I have another website change coming up too. This one should be funny (I hope)!

Onward and Upward! You guys take care.
