Oh crap, there goes the phone ringing... don't want to answer it... I will have to talk and my HEAD HURTS!! Don't they know that??

EDIT: right, a saleswoman; "Do you have insurance......?" SLAM! :mad:

Here's a remedy for those phone calls too:

=: How to stop Telemarketers :=

The phone rang as I was sitting down to my evening meal, and as I answered it I was greeted with "Is this Karl Brummer". Not sounding anything like my name, I asked, "Who is calling?"

The telemarketer said he was with The Rubber Band Powered Freezer Company or something like that.

Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally and why was he calling this number. I then said off to the side, "Get some pictures of the body at various angles and concentrate on the blood smears and bloody footprints."

I then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to testify in this murder case.

He protested that he was just a telemarketer and knew nothing about any murder.

Ignoring his protestations, I questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, cell phone number, who he worked for, Social Security number, driver's license number, had he ever been arrested, how he knew the dead guy, how long had he known Mr. Brummer; where he had been, and could he prove where he had been, about one hour before he made this phone call.

The telemarketer was getting very concerned, confused, and his answers were given in a shaky voice, but he continued to answer my questions. He sounded like it was not the first time he had answered a police officer's questions. I then told him we had located his position and police officers were entering the building where he was to take him into custody.

At that point I heard the phone fall to the floor and the scurrying of his running away.

As I returned to our dinner table, my wife asked me why I had tears streaming down my face. So help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen minutes. My meal was now cold, but it was the best meal I had eaten in a long, long time.

Then, you also know about how it feels as if something want to push your eyes out from the inside. Yup, get that horseraddish dear. It has helped me in winter and during allergy seasons for years now - thank goodness.

I'll check with Marta to see if we have any Chery.

I have to go get my annual eye inspection for diabetes tomorrow, I certainly hope this pain goes away before they blast my eyes... owwwww!:eek:

I think I sent you that Telemarketer one Cher, or if I didn't, I have read it anyway. I love that one. Too funny! I usually ask them what time they have dinner, and if I can call them back at their home number later. I've actually said a lot of crazy things to them. I remember one time saying (this was a man) Grandma? Is that you? You've been dead for yrs! Where are you calling from? Have you met God?. and I just go on asking crazy questions. They will normally just hang up and not call again. I love screwin with them! LOL!

starbuck8 · Oct 28, 2008, 10:14 AM

Well this is just screwed up! Before I wasn't getting any notifications. Now I am getting notifications about 5 minutes after I have already read the message! Weird!

Check this out Cher.

Lol no messin stringer

Starby - same here for some reason I've stopped getting notifications for new posts

Chery · Oct 28, 2008, 11:16 AM

Thanks Stringer. I figured that it would probably be too much to say the way you feel right now. I'm surprised you can even read all of it - so glad you are hanging in there honey.

I got it from my completelyfreesoftware.com site. They send me newsletters once a week and tell me what new software they acquired - and at the end of these newsletters there's always a Joke of the Week. I'm a life-time member there and can download anything for free.
It has not gotten so bad here in Germany yet with the telemarketing and my phone number is not listed in any phonebook. But when I lived with my brother in Vegas, I had a bit of fun with those jerks too. Sorry, I'm sure they need the money otherwise they would not do it, but it really gets on one's nerves.

Someone told me my voice sounded sexy on the phone and that I would really make money on a sex hotline.. can you imagine little old me doing this? I'd have a lot of fun laughing though and not make much money. I bet I could get a few customers to laugh right along with me, come to think of it...

Albear,and starby, I get notifications, but not all replies are listed when I go to my profile and look. I have to remember the threads and cannot mark them for some reason. Oh well, I'm sure it will get fixed soon. I also wish there was a spell-checker on this editor, darn it!

I promised my grandson that I would call him, so I am going to do that now. When we were in the car for a few minutes today, he told me to 'sit' (put on sealbelt) so he was telling me he wanted me to go with them. Too bad I could not this evening. I promised I'd see them this weekend though, sick or not, I really need my supply of hugs - and if a supply of germs come along with that package, I don't care - I'll manage because I miss them hugs!

C.U. later...

Chery · Oct 28, 2008, 12:14 PM

You are right Stringer darling, and I'm blessed with two super families.
AMHD is one of them! Just like all families, we have our ups and downs, but the love is always there!

Correctomondo :) my Chery.

Chery, we do not have horseraddish in this house, Marta is going to stop and get some today? Now, I am to swallow a teaspoon of this "stuff?" Tell me, how does it taste, is it strong, will it burn my widdle mouth? :eek::eek::eek:

It probably will my dear, but it is just like an extra hot mustard, that's all. And you can take it as many times a day as you want without overdosing on medication that gets to your head and won't let you concentrate. If you want, you can put some lemon juice in it as the Vitamin C from that will also help your throat and sinuses.

Ask Marta if she ever had horseraddish gravy. The European name for it is Meerettisch Sosse. It's absolutely tasteful, made with horseraddish, butter, flour, soup stock and lemon. It tastes great over roast beef and potatoes. Try it sometime. I can give you the recipe for a great soup that the stock is used from.

I promise you, you won't be sorry you tried it.

Went there honey and OMG is that poor thing in deep 'you-know-what'!
She's probably from across the border like so many other poor girls like that. I suggested she RUN!

starbuck8 · Oct 28, 2008, 02:14 PM

I've got horseradish Stringy! Go outside and I'll throw it to you! Watchout so I don't bop you in the head! :p ;)

starbuck8 · Oct 28, 2008, 02:16 PM

I saw that Cher. It was really hard to understand what she was really trying to say at first. I just opted out. I'm not going to suggest ways for her to get revenge.

I can catch I assure you, but watch out for low flying duckies.:) Ouch... it even hurts to type...

starbuck8 · Oct 28, 2008, 02:37 PM

Poor Stwingy! I hope your headache goes away soon. Maybe Momma's cure will help some. I hope so! :(

starbuck8 · Oct 28, 2008, 02:42 PM

Oh crap! I'm just talking to my (step) daughter. She needs to put Cameron in the bath, and told me she has bad news about my boy Ben when He got in trouble a while back, and I know his court date was yesterday. I hate to even hear. I know he deserves to be punished to learn his lesson, but it doesn't sound good. Blaaahhh!

You know it's his cross to bear, just support him as much as you can and let him know you are there. Let me know what's up.

Love you lots and will be sending you good vibes.

I hope it helps him get stronger and smarter.

starbuck8 · Oct 28, 2008, 03:53 PM

Thanks my dear Cher! I'm still waiting for Sam to get back to me! I wish she wouldn't have IM'd me until she had time to tell me the whole story. I hate the not knowing part... plus I need to run out for awhile. It's midnite there already. I don't know what the heck she was putting Cam in the bath so late for. Maybe he had an accident in bed or something I guess.

Alty · Oct 28, 2008, 03:59 PM

Yay, yay, yay, found a homemade recipe for fly paper, I'm going to try it. I'll let you all know how it works.

One thing that doesn't work. Swatting the little buggers. It seems that when you kill one, 10 come to the funeral. :(

Hi all, just a quick hello, then I'm off to kill some flies. :)
