As you may have noticed, there is a bit of a gap in my posts. This due to the fact now I share this computer with three other people in my home. The fact that I seem to have have a case of writers block has not helped either. Maybe its this nasty weather we been having too.
Hopefully the sun will come out this weekend and give all of us in our home a recharge. I have lived here on the Oregon coast all my life so the rain is usually no big deal. However some winters can get you down a bit and cabin fever sets in.
God bless all who read my blog. I will have have more very cool stories for you soon.

Well ***!
There is nothing more annoying than telemarketers calling with offers that you would never want in the first place. I answered my phone this morning to someone from VISA offering me a $50 gas card and some package of garbage that I would never use. I hung up on him after listening to a bunch of rhetoric and the fact that a $2 charge for shipping and handling would be charged to my card. When I heard the last four digits of the card number I quickly checked my cards and realized that they were charging to a card I no longer have.
The phone rang almost immediately after I hung up and the guy asked me why I did so. DUH! The fact that I hung up before this nonsense could proceed further should be an indication to you that I don't want what you are offering! I had already canceled that card and got a new one because of **** like this!
I went online recently to register on the "do not call list" but this apparently does not work. The telemarketers still find me and try to sell their wares like snake oil salesmen of old. Then there are the e-mail sales pitches.....
Those that provide an unsubscribe option are okay as they usually stick to the anti spam policy. However there are some that if you could reach them, the overwhelming desire to shove that filthy **** down their throat..... I think you get the picture as I am sure many of you have received such at some time.
Well ****! The phone just rang again, another telemarketer from some national law firm. These people must think I have tons of money to waste on useless ****! I think it is time to go to my shop where there is no telephone, computer or TV. Only a small radio for music and a nice warm fireplace to sit next to as I plan out the next small project for my home. Ah, sanctuary.
