For a year, I've been getting spam calls from an 805 number - I usually pick up because lots of 805 legit numbers call here and I can't remember what's real and what's not.  It's a home improvement contractor or so they say and then I just normally hang up.  You can't call back either because you get a message saying their voice mail hasn't been set up yet.

After a year of these ASSES calling me, I answered today.  Well, I went off on this guy like nobody's business - I suspect this happens to them all the time - I screamed continuously for about six minutes, called him every name I could think of and a few I couldn't think of,  told him I was going to find out where he is and come pay a visit, called him even worse names, all at the top of my lungs.  He kept talking right through it all, never stopping until I stopped for a moment to get my breath, but never acknowledging that I was berating him.  Then I switched and said, yes, I do want your services - can I give you my home address now or do you have it - do you need my credit card now, are you ready to take down that information - and he kept right on talking.  I was just like Patrick Bronstein in the opening of that book.  I finally said, how do you live with yourself - is the twelve cents an hour you're making enough for your conscience?  I said, you know what happens to morally bankrupt jerks - karma, that's what happens and your karma points are at minus 1000, although I understand the word karma is probably too big for you to understand.  There was finally silence and then he said, you seem to be out of control today, are you the homeowner?  I said, YOU, you fetid turd, you made me out of control and funnily, NO, I am NOT the home owner.  Oh, well.  At which point I hung up.

We get calls from sales or other folk at least every 3-4 days and when they ask for "Cynthia" or "Joe" or whomever, we don't tell them that they have the wrong number.  We just act very sad and say that the person has died.

Every time this auction reaches twelve minutes left it resets to thirty minutes - this could go on all night if you've got two idiots going against each other.  But if I had the high bid on something and the auction should have ended at five and was still going on at nine, and someone came in at nine and topped me, I would go through the roof.

I just finished watching the Naked Spur for the first time. Really enjoyed it. Robert Ryan made a great villain.

Okay, I Googled my phone, turned on my call screen button, and blocked the number.  Hopefully that will fix that.

Great-hope it works 😊

DR George your HOBBIT DVD sounds intriguing.

It's great!  And even though it's a fan edit, it's beautiful, just like it was a professionally released DVD!

Is the story better without the extras or just different?

It's much better because it's not the bloated mess of the three much too long movies.

Thanks.  I need to tell Keith about this.
