Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

Never seen parks and rec but I just saw a clip of Ron doing something that I actually do. If I don’t care for someone I will intentionally call them the wrong name each time I run into them. After a couple times they will usually leave me alone.

I used to work with a man that always repeated your name over and over when he spoke to you. I mean excessively. There was one young guy I worked with named Travis and he always called him Trevor. Travis eventually gave up on correcting him and just accepted the fact his name was now Trevor.
 
Ugh, missing two items now physically trying to search for them I would have been done at 130 otherwise. Sigh.
 
JW and Bill F are on the coaches show they did 5 minutes of wbb then Brock Purdy talk and are going back to wbb after the break. Bill had a great point about enjoying the moment, these players aren't in Ames forever. It's been a good listen so far.
 
Got a letter the other day from DMOS about their security breach. Son had played for Grandview and broke a bone in his wrist, hence they Grandview sent him there. This was like a couple of years ago and then we got the letter about the security breach.... Today we get a fraud alert from our bank :mad:. FML!!! Turns out it was about a book he had to buy from the UK, hence the possible fraud alert. Gotta thank our bank for their fraud security!! All the phishing, spammers, and other types of fraud is getting bad lately.
 
I hate houses and houses hate me.
La di da di da, di di di di dee


Heard some very faint hissing like noises last night. Noise came and went...could not track. Heard it more today. Put ear on fridge but can't really hear it. Got on floor and could hear it. And there's water all over the floor under the frig and running into the basement. In the laundry room there was a little water river from the wall to the floor drain. Turned water line off. Think that was it. It had dripped into and overflowed the evaporator tray so leaking in fridge and not the line to the fridge. Kind of messed up the oak flooring.

Lived here long enough that everything that was brand new is now old and worn out, including me. :rolleyes:
 
Helped serve a funeral today big family over 50 people in the family along with a few others. Nice family glad I was able to help

This reminds me of the old joke:

Do you know why there is a fence around the cemetery?

I think pretty much everyone knows the
Because everyone is dying to get in.

Years ago I told this dad joke to my two kids. I had no more than gotten the question out of my mouth and my son who couldn't have been older than 5 or 6 said, "Zombies." That was better than the real answer.

My wife works in a banking group and they average one significant fraud attempt per week.
 
Saw a girl working for Alliant Energy today setting a pole. If she can handle that kind of work, good for her. I'd do it if I didn't have to go out in the middle of the night when it's 20 below.

Yeah storm duty seems to be the downside to being a lineman, they can roll in the bucks though.
 
Went to Hyvee after work, went over to the HyChi to see if there was anything fresh and they really wasn't, I was standing further back, turned around and jumped back suddenly because of this

Did you sharpie a snidely whiplash mustache on her?
I've wanted to get a bag of those plastic cling mustaches and put them on her cut outs at the different Hyvees

Just out of curiosity which fraud alert group did you pick from the ones they offered my parents received the same letter.
