Insurance gal took umbrage at my last email - so I wrote her and said I was NOT criticizing HER - she's been really good about following up and every email I've sent here has said how appreciative I am. I just want to get the second payment. And I obviously don't want to lose the car.

[Rodzinski]

I watched some episodes of Space Ghost on Adult Swim.

It still makes me laugh.

"Ten seconds in.....and we're already in the toilet."

The celebrity interviews on there were ahead of their time in using awkward silences and strange editing.

[Rodzinski]

Wonder what the weather will bring, JRand, for the big internecine battle in South Bend tonight.

[Rodzinski]

Ugh scams are so hard to avoid. Glad you realized before too long.

[Rodzinski]

Not answering the phone ever, is one solution, but here you are waiting for calls about another thing, so of course you pick up.

[Rodzinski]

I had some gal call me through work the other day, ostensibly to pitch me a product story, but she clearly barely had any idea what kind of magazine we are. Why did I give her my email? They get you with your guard down.

[Rodzinski]

I’m sure insurance girl has heard worse than anything you were saying. Don’t sweat it.

[Jrand74]

Get the dough vibes for MR BK.

[Jrand74]

SCAM BEGONE VIBES for everyone on HHW.

[Jrand74]

DR RODZINSKI the temps are supposed to be in the lower thirties tonight.....so the game should be fine.

[Jrand74]

Norma Shearer has the most annoying put on laugh that she uses in every movie.....I'm going to have to turn this damn thing off....it's just TOO much.

Is that similar to Steve and Eydie suddenly cracking each other up during performances

which William Goldman in his book about Broadway THE SEASON talked about happening often during GOLDEN RAINBOW and the audience reportedly ate it up?

The Carol Burnett Show would have the cast breaking into laughter at Tim Conway's antics in its later years, IIRC.

There was nothing in the show to laugh at.

I just took an assignment for an article.

[John G.]

The article is a short piece (600 words) on a restaurant in town that earned a Michelin star, the only place in town to do so.

[John G.]

The article pays $250. That’s the cost of dinner there. Guess it’s a break even proposition.

[John G.]

The story is about their service, which received a special Michelin citation.

[John G.]

I really can’t write about service without experiencing it.

Did you get to see it, John?

[Rodzinski]

I don’t suppose the place you’re writing for foots the bill?

[Freddie]

I really can’t write about service without experiencing it.

Will the restaurant know you're writing an article about them?

[singdaw]

Thanks for the research, DR Freddie.

[singdaw]

I like your interpretation, DR Jane.

~~~CONTINUED CAR AND INSURANCE VIBES~~~ for BK!!!!!

[singdaw]

I hope those scammers rot in heck. How can they live with themselves?

[singdaw]

I fell for one when my phone lit up with "Wells Fargo" calling.

Fortunately, it didn't get very far before I came to my senses. After I terminated the call, they tried me back in quick succession 3 more times.

[Jane]

I'm afraid the tariffs will be the end of the Dollar (25) Tree.

They will certainly hit hard at Walmart, too.

And this is the reason we went shopping for new appliances.  Both our oven and refrigerator need replacing.

[Jane]

I lose my pants while I'm mowing the lawn.

When I get out the lawn mower, the neighbors come out on their front porches with lemonade and beer.

[Jane]

And in the middle of that the phone rings and it's Medicare verifying my plan for the new year. She's asking me to verify address and card number and it feels very off to me and I even say that, but I gave her the card number because my head was not in the right place. And, then she starts asking me about my medical history and I put the brakes on and she got off right away. Thankfully, I never gave her the most important thing, social security. I was trying to Google medicare scam and it gave me nothing - after I got off I added scam CALLS and of course there it was. DAMN THEN ALL TO HELL. I'm on the phone now with Medicare fraud.
