Maddening

I keep getting these calls regarding 'air duct cleaning'.  I have been hanging up on the caller the minute they start telling me what they are calling about.  The last one was a blocked call and I got so mad I said 'If you don't stop calling me I am going to report you to the police'.  Well, husband M and daughter L were home at the time and had a good laugh because it is not like me to say something like that!  I'm tempted not to answer the phone, but I do in case it might be something important (schools, doctors) even though I have call display.  Recently I was very abrupt with the Police Association calling about their charity.  They announce themselves as the Police and you don't want to be rude to the Police, but they are using their name for the purpose of soliciting in this instance.  How do you handle unwanted phone calls?

I got this joke from Ploughing Through Life:

Atrial Fibrillation and Some Colourful Lives

I got this joke from Ploughing Through Life:

Here is this informative video on Atrial Fibrillation from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Find out if you are at risk. This condition can triple your risk of stroke.

And if you enjoy reading biographies of interesting people, I read about John McAfee in the newspaper recently, what a colourful life he has had.
He is the antivirus pioneer. 'NASA programmer, drug dealer, technology guru, so-called “eccentric millionaire” living a bizarre existence in Belize surrounded by dogs, armed guards and young women'.

And Chuck Hughes of Food Network's 'Chuck's Day Off'  is promoting his new book and has also lived a lot in his 36 years.  Here is the article I read in the newspaper. 'Chuck Hughes talks food and kicking booze and drugs'.

75% Off and a Joke

Yes, I know Easter's over but a few days after, I was at the grocery store and they had all their chocolates like 75% off! What could I do?  I bought these treats.  I love creamy Lindt and Cadbury chocolates.  The brown bunnies are a new from Ferrero Rocher, hazelnut flavour and yes, the bunnies are hollow!  

Here is a joke I received via email, I've seen it before but it's a good one, lol:



Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!

Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ''Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.''

A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear.....I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night BEFORE the wedding.''
