Kerry cried a little yesterday when Mr chainsaw met trellis of lavender but in truth it was in the wrong place and I HATED how it blocked the view.

Trellis

I told her it was like me....we can rebuild it, we can make it better than it was.

She got on a jet and left.

Well she did. It just depends how I tell the story doesn't it? LOL

My girl is in Fla so I'm missing her and up for the night. Lol

Funny thing
So my phone is blowing up all afternoon but I assume they are spam calls and don't answer them. I am talking to Kerry on the phone and she tells me pnc bank has called a dozen times but since we don't have accounts there she doesn't answer either.
This evening Humberto my contractor calls me asking me to take PNC's call. He says they are trying to confirm my check to his company. LMAO.....
I look up his branches number and call(never assume the number calling you is legit) his branch. Kudos to the girl there for trying to protect everyone but I never had to verify a check on the phone before. I told Kerry later that we're libel to find our accounts emptied.....lol.....she worries over that stuff so I feed it with gasoline.

Amen to never assume the person calling you is legit. Since when do banks call you? They all including the government say they don't. I once was told I'm smart because something similar happened to me with a credit card. 😁😁😁😁😁I looked up their number and called them to verify it was them calling me. I had to laugh about that one. I'm not smart at all but I've had so many scam, spam, and Medicare insurance calls that I don't answer any of them. At this point it's just belligerence on my part.

I hope you're all okay Ray including the Gophers.

We are ok, hopefully we won't get a hurricane. Here is the ditches in my front yard. Usually after a real hard rain. This water would be gone in a few hrs.
We have had this standing water for about a month. 20251011_151824.jpg20251011_151737.jpg

Stubb is our president, Orpo is our Prime Minister. I think they both were there.
I didn't see Orpo in DC but i did see that we are buying a couple of Icebreakers for our fleet. We were woefully short on them because they are incredibly strong ships but cost as much as a Destroyer while not as flashy so no one wants to "waste" their time in charge by buying boring ships.

Glad to see so much optimism on the News....some folks could soon see home again

Kerry will be home tonight...thank God, we need milk, sugar......LOL

MS Cathie, you aren't alone. I don't answer any calls I can't identify. Why would I? There is no longer any reason to answer them.. What, are they going to be a headhunter offering me a better job? LOL

No, we all know it's someone who wants to make money from us.

I don't answer unless It says it's from somebody I know, have dealt with, ir s in my phone book. My voice mail message says the same thing. It certainly reduces the voice mail's I get. If they continue to call days/weeks later w/o telling me why they are calling me, I will Block the #, and that. . . is the end of that.

I have this app on my cell phone called caller anouncer pro that I love dearly. I have it set up for calls and texts but you can also do email. If they're in my contacts it announces the name I give them. Or unknown caller. For instance I can call someone Dork Boy and I know exactly who it is 😊 so I can at least get back with the person later. You can even set it up to read the text or not. Also I can block them. Most of my doctors etc now announces Ohio health even if I have their number in my contacts. At+t was a big problem. I have to have a landline for Joe but I switched to a Verizon landline, Internet and Wi-Fi. Since then I really don't get all the scam, spam and Medicare insurance calls. Why can't at+t do that?😉 and my cell was always Verizon so I don't get all that anymore at all. yeah!

What a dreary rainy day here. Yuck! No contractor today as planned so we took a drive to Dover Delaware to look at got tubs. Anticlimactic but we did get some pricing and information.
A hot tub for 2 or 3 people running at 220volt runs 5 grand. A higher quality hot tub of the same size is $10,000. Holy cow!
I was hoping for $4000....LOL

See? Information...its not always what we want to hear!

Oh...circling back to that check I wrote to the contractor that his bank called me about. Well today OUR bank called while we were driving first Kerry's phone then mine. Then she got a text from our bank and I called them. They were calling about the same check! Apparently the other bank cashed it WITHOUT IT EVER BEING ENDORSED on the back! Wow....whats our banking system, the Wild West???

I forgot to relate something insidious. If you are up for a game, go do a You Tube search for "hot tub reviews" or similar and TRY to find a vid done by private people and not a company or self-proclaimed influencer.
We didn't see hardly any! Are they truly suggesting that in this "Look at me" world, there are no vids by those folks? Or are we being manipulated into 3 brands by only seeing them over and over?

Weird stuff
