1. What is it with people anymore. You can't say anything to anybody, even if it is off the cuff or just venting frustrations about a situation, without them running back and telling on you. This has happened to me several times in the last few weeks. I state my opinion and BAM, next thing I know I'm getting a phone call. I vent my frustrations about a situation and someone feels the need to run their mouth and let everyone know what I'm upset about, then BAM, I getting a phone call or text. I vent about an incident that happens to someone who is not even involved and I tell them that I am just venting and not going to pursue it, then BAM, someone comes up to me and asks if I have a problem. I've had it with this crap. From now on I am going to be very careful who I confide in, keep my opinions to myself even if asked, and only unburden myself to a close circle of friends.
2. I lost a $6800 check this week. It was an insurance check that I received a couple of weeks ago for hail damage that I received. I always put all my mail, bills, correspondence, checkbook and junk mail on the kitchen table throughout the week and then I ususlly go through it over the weekend. I put the check in that pile until I could get to the bank and deposit it. Well, last Friday I went to get it so I could go to the bank and I couldn't find it. For the last three days I have torn my house apart looking for it. I've looked in my paid bill stubs, my shred pile, my purse, I even took a weeks worth of garbage from outside and torn open the bags looking for it. I even went into my office on the off chance that I had it in my purse and dropped it there. Nothing, nada, zero. The only thing I could that I could think of that happened was when I was tearing up my junk mail I must have tore up the check by accident.
I knew I had to call the adjuster this afternoon to let her know what happend and find out what happens now. I hadn't slept well for the last couple of nights and was sick to my stomach this morning just thinking about making this phone call. Would there be an investigation, would I have to send a notarized statement, would she give me a hard time? As it turned out, she was very understanding. She will put a stop on the check tomorrow morning and issue me a new one and send it right away. Simple, easy, done. Thank you Jesus. I need a better system for my mail.
3. On a lighter note, I have had the most fun on Facebook than I have had in a long time. One of our local TV stations has been pulled off the air due to a dispute between the station, cable company and the big wig owners. I don't pretend to understand any of it. But the big wig corporate types have been giving us a feed from a CBS affiliate in upstate New York. I started kind of watching their news and it was interesting to see the local news in another city. Then I stumbled onto a local Facebook page dedicated to us who enjoy watching this New York newscast. We make tongue in cheek comments about the news stories, there is lots of good natured sarcasm and we are just having a blast. I love sarcasm and my sense of humor has a sarcastic bent to it. We all try to get on FB when the newscast starts and we comment through the whole thing. It's all in good fun and I can't wait til the next newscast. We have even caught the attention of that station in New York and they have given us a few shoutouts. Lovin' it!! I will be so disappointed when the dispute ends and we lose our northern feed but for now we keep on rockin'
4. I thought my dog was going to choke to death today. We were just sitting on the porch and she started coughing and kind of hacking. It just keep getting worse and then she was struggling to catch her breath. Next thing I know her legs are giving out and she starts to go down all the while coughing and heaving. Scared the bejeezus out of me. I stick my fingers down her throat thinking she might have someting in her mouth, no. I'm smacking her on the back, no help, and then I squeeze her middle and she starts to calm down some. After a minute or so, but it seems a lot longer, she finally starts breathing better and calming down. I don't know if anything I did helped her or if she calmed herself down. She didn't have anything in her mouth to choke on so I don't know what happened but it was definitely a scary moment.
Thank goodness tomorrow is the start of a new week and hopefully a much smoother week. But I will keep my opinion about that to myself.
Kathy
