This is why we all have trust issues!

Right, so we all know everything on the Internet is 100% true.  *ahem*  Anyway, I see all kinds of goofy $hit on FB and other social media.  90% of the time the original poster is making a joke.  A *haha* lets see how many dumb@$$e$ there are on the interwebs.  I usually roll my eyes and move on.  I try not to get "offended" and I ignore many but when one starts to go viral in my friend list I have to say something.  And I am usually not the only one that does say something.  Especially when it is kind of mocking something...like Veterans.

COME ON people!!!  That is not a group of Vietnam Vets.  It is the cast for Tropic Thunder!!!!  That is Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, etc.  STAAAAHP sharing this! I checked the original post...I can't tell if it was a joke or not but A LOT of people commented on it with "ha ha...that is the cast for Tropic Thunder" or "I hope you are joking...that is Ben Stiller etc".  I get that some people may not realize its a movie cast and share it because they share f**king everything they see online.  So bad on you internet troll...

If you want to support Veterans do not post a picture of a bunch of Hollywood elite who made a satirical movie about War....its insulting.  Instead, maybe find a REAL picture of Vets and share it.  Just a thought.   Or quit sharing everything you see online...geesh!

P.S. And yes I know quite a few Vets who find this movie hilarious (I laughed too)...its the misrepresentation in the Post that is annoying. 

Ahhh yes the infamous Windows distress signal requesting IT support...

I HATE scammers.  I have no idea how else to block dumb from my cell!  I am on a Do Not Call List but I don't think that applies to scammers, just telemarketers.  Transcript below:

*T.A.R.D.I.S. noise*
Me:  Hello...
Person: *in the distance* oh she pick up.  *in a thick accent* Hello, hi.  Is this NOLA Gurl? 
Me: Who is asking?
Person:  Hi, hi.  This is Jack and I am calling about your computer.
Me:  What about my computer?
Jack: (I don't think is name was Jack) Well you see our servers have received a distress signal from your computer.
Me:  *playing along*  Oh really.  What about?
Jack: It appears you have accidentally upgraded to Windows 10.
Me: *rolling eyes* *acting innocent* I did...?
Jack: Yes, and that is your problem.  Because with this new version you opened up your computer to bad files and viruses.  I am wanting to fix before something bad happens.
Me: Oh dear, I didn't realize my Mac could somehow upgrade to Windows 10!
Jack: It can! And it did!  Now, what I need from you.  Please turn on your computer.
Me:  Um...well it is on.  Can't your servers see that?
Jack: *stuttering* yes, but we had to be certain
Me: K....
Jack:  Now go to (website) and click the link so I can get make sure I have the correct IP for your computer to remove all those nasty files
Me: *silence*
Jack: Hello, miss?
Me: *silence*
Jack: Have you gone to (website)
Me:  *dropping the act* Ya know Jack, I haven't.  Because I have a Mac, that DOES NOT run Windows so 1.) It is almost impossible for me to have "accidentally upgraded" to Windows 10 and 2.) I think you might be full of $hit.
Jack: *click*
Me: *laughing hysterically* 

Now normally I wouldn't answer a number I don't know that isn't in LA.  But these f**kers have called me no less than 12 times in 3 days from Austin, TX.  I am sure I'll get a call in a week from another random number.  Just add this to the one from Alhambra, CA asking about a student loan forgiveness application that I didn't submit (and yes I checked my credit, I am okay).  Or the one from Gainesville, FL who needs my CC number because they saw some "suspicious activity".

CLEARLY some website or something either sold my info or was hacked.  GREAT!

P.S.  I know you can run Windows on a Mac but you have to install it first in order to be able to upgrade it.

P.P.S. Here is the f**king number 512-452-0386

UPDATE:  I just got 4 calls from a Peru number...his name was "Alex " and my computer was sending him distress signals also...OMG!

I shall name it Houdini...then kill it! After screaming like I'm being murdered and having a mini freak out in the back yard....

Sooooooooooooooo I HATE one thing about living in the South.   While I don't like the heat, humidity, hurricanes, etc...those aren't what I am talking about.  I am talking about bugs.  Not all bugs...one in particular!

Right, so we all know which bug I am referring to.  If not see here and here and here. 

Moving on, Saturday night was just like many other Saturday nights.  I was being a bump on a log watching mind numbing TV.  As per my usual routine I let Speedy out to tee tee, hubs was asleep on the couch.  I opened the back door and *BAM* something jumped...ONTO MY FACE.  I squeaked a little but I realized it was frog.  Listen here buckaroo, you don't want to come in my house, you will get eaten.  So I maneuvered him off my face and into on of my potted plants.  Speedy and I were star gazing listening to the fiesta across the street (not super loud but I could hear the music).  After a bit we went back to the door. 

Now mind you I had no outside lights on (I was star gazing) so the only light is from the Moon and the little showing through the closed blinds.  I turned to open the door.

Cool, no frogs or lizards!  I turned back to Speedy with my hand on the knob and pushed.  (this all happened in SECONDS)

What...?

*Jumps back* WHAT?!? while my eyes zero in on NOT A F**KING FROG

Speedy pushes the door the rest of the way open to go in as I yell "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The f**ker is half dead thanks to my fumigation so it kind of just falls off the door...onto the dog.

He jumps
I scream for real
he realizes whatever is on him is not letting go AND mom is freaking out
He runs INSIDE 
F********k  *still freaking out* trying to get the dog out of the doorway
He shakes
It takes flight
I run back outside losing my god dammed mind
I am yelling "its inside, its inside"
Speedy is trying to find and kill whatever is distressing mom
Hubs is trying to figure out why I am losing my mind while still half asleep
Not wanting this thing to disappear IN my home I run in screaming ala William Wallace, shoe raised in hopes of Victory
Its f**king M.I.A.
*$hit $hit $hit*
Then I see old lady stalking my couch
She dives
It comes running out at top speed (well top speed being half dead)
Speedy goes for it
Old Lady goes for it
I go for it
Hubs yells "what the f**k is going on?!?!?!"
I beat the creature into oblivion with my shoe while the animals watch
As the haze clears I hear "I think its dead..."
I smoosh it one more time for good measure
Hubs goes to sweep it up
It flips over and attempts to run on like two legs with its guts hanging out
I start screaming again
Hubs is freaking a bit
The dog is barking
The cats are stalking
Our neighbors have now turned OFF the music and are listening to this fiasco, I assume
I throw my shoe at it and it stops moving
Hubs flings it out the door with the broom and we slam the door and lock it...because, ya know, bugs don't come through locked doors *rolling eyes* 

How the hell am I supposed to go to sleep after that?!?!!?  I couldn't.  Every time I shut my eyes, all I saw were those bugs flying at me.  I am getting chills now just thinking about it *shudder*. 

But seriously, I don't know where the thing came from.  One second it wasn't there and the next it was at eye level twitching its little antennas, taunting me!!!!  I didn't here it flutter past my head so I don't think it flew to the window... I just don't know...

How would you like it if I took your kid, drove him/her 20+ miles away and left them...? Hmmmmmm?!?!?!!?

Do NOT do this!!!!!!!!!!!  I mean obvi don't do this to a child but also DO NOT take it upon yourself to rid the neighborhood of unwanted Cats/Dogs by DUMPING them elsewhere.  What the f**k is wrong with you?!!?!?  If you were able to get close enough to an animal to catch it, chances are it is someone's f**king pet and they are probably looking for it! 

If you have a stray whatever that has babies bring them to a vet or the God Blessed shelter!!!  Do NOT drive them to the woods or another city and leave them.  What kind of MONSTER are you?!!?!?

Look we don't all like the kitty making poopy in our gardens.  And stray puppies/dogs, especially large ones, can be dangerous.  But why on Earth would anyone think, "hey, I don't like this animal around me so I'm going to go dump it in a PARKING LOT off of Airline Hwy"??!?!?  No, no, no, no...just f**king NO!  If its a neighbor's outside cat put deterrents in your yard.  NOTHING HARMFUL.  There are products and plants you can buy that keep animals away but won't hurt them.  Be responsible!

You call your City/Parish Animal Control and report it.  If you do catch them bring them to a vet to see if they are chipped or bring them to the shelter.  If you don't want to deal with it then wait for f**king animal control.  Don't assume because they don't have a collar they are STRAYS!  Animals lose collars.  People are probably looking for their fur babies.  Don't be a dick! 

Also, if you find an animal...make sure its not someone else's pet before deciding to keep it.  How would you like it if you lost your fur baby and someone else was like "oh, its in my yard...its mine now"???  Be responsible!!!  I have animals show up to my house ALL THE TIME.  I bring them to the shelter or the vet.  Or I leave them be...unless they are a danger to MY PETS.  I don't put them in a crate and dump them...or harm them...STAAAAAHP!  As an adult I've had 4 dogs and 3 cats come into my life.  Of those 2 were adopted from a shelter.  The others were stray animals that literally showed up on my doorstep or a family/friend's doorstep and I took them in.  They had no chips.  No collars.  Signs went up and no one claimed them.  They became my babies and the ones that are gone lived VERY long, VERY happy lives. 

In conclusion, DON'T BE A DICK!!!

Well that's a new "insult"...

Sooooooa big pet peeve of mine is unnecessary nosiness. I am not talking about my friends/family grilling me about whatever.  I am talking about when people ask pointless, irrelevant questions and then use the answers to cause drama.

Since I am now aware of the BS questions, I call people out on them.  Not meanly but I say SOMETHING. 

For example:
A friend surprised us and came in town.  Few people knew about it.  She rode with one of the peeps that knew and surprised the rest of us.  I told someone about this happenstance.  But I left out who she arrived with, opting to just say "she surprised us by coming in and only Person A and Person B knew. "   The response wasn't "oh why was she in town?"  or "where is she staying?"  or anything that a normal f**king person would ask.  No the ONLY question asked was "Who'd she ride with?"  Ummmmmm why the f**k is that relevant?!?!?

But I knew why!  Because that was going to be used as a drama starting thing about why she rode with one versus the other and why no one else knew, even though I said "it was a surprise".  So I said "Hmmmmm what an odd question...she rode with Person B".

This opened up a CAN OF CRAZY. 

Them: Why is my question odd. It is a normal question?
 
Me: Well it doesn’t really matter to the story who she came with so i wasn’t sure why you were asking hence the “odd question”. 

Them: Why is it you are always picky with anything I say . I am afraid to say anything!!!!! Your ____ & family did that to me and s lot of people thought they were so rude. Why can't you just answer the question and not always finding fault with what I say or ask. You sounds like Hil Clinton.

Like Hil Clinton....uuuuummmmm.  I stopped replying...and not to be a complete $hit but I DID answer the stupid question...just saying *rolling eyes*.  Clearly I hit a nerve......ooops

I am terrified of the world we have created

I have little to say...this isn't for one side or the other...it is for life.

No one deserves death at another's hands no matter who they are or where they come from.  Who are we to decide who lives or dies?  We are not gods but mere humans who are playing games with the lives of our fellow man.  United we stand, divided we fall.  This isn't directed at any particular race, nationality, gender, occupation, etc.  It is about humanity...so little of what makes us human is left in the world.  We should protect the tiny glowing ember that remains hidden in the ashes and nurture it into a wildfire of love, peace, and unity instead of hate and violence.

Imagine

And do not call me a "hippie"...I am not, not really...I am just a human hoping for a better place for my future kids, my nieces & nephews...all of our children.

Ahhhhhhhh! Stop being so attractive, adorable, smart...gah!

Let's play a game...who am I talking about?!?!  No really.  I am not a person who is obsessed with celebs.  I mean I appreciate talents and notice attractiveness but I usually don't follow people.  Well, I'll follow them on Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat but mainly because they are fun/funny (see John Barrowman)...not really to get a peak into their lives, well not always (see John Barrowman accidentally showing his hubby's manly parts in a live FB feed).  Although half the time I'm not sure if its actually them or some paid assistant who is posting.

Weeeeeell some you can tell its them *ahem* Mr. Padalecki *ahem*.  Anyways, there are many who don't use social media and honestly I don't blame them...SOME PEOPLE ARE LEGIT CRAZY!  So we don't really get a glimpse of them outside of the TV Shows/Movies they are in.  Then you see an interview and OMG STOP IT!  Either way these stupidly attractive/talented people make me realize I want (need) to do more in life.  I mean I am not talented in that respect BUT I want to travel...ALOT...soooooo reach for the stars and such...right? *big cheesy smile*.

Moving on...stop driving us all insane with your adorableness!!!  Gah!  You can't be talented...and hot...and NICE...and intelligent...that just isn't fair. 

So who am I talking about...hmmmm.  "I'll never teeeeeelll" *weird squiggly air finger*

SIDE NOTE - Great movie...I need to watch it again.  I still can't believe she died...*tear*

SIDE SIDE NOTE - I am not just referring a person...or just men...I have some lady crushes...still not telling!

SIDE SIDE SIDE NOTE - I really feel like if I met some of them, I'd become a sudden mute.  I never used to be like this!!!  Is this what happens with age?!?!?  F**k that....

What...what did you feed me?!?!?!

Co-worker:  OMG you have to try this!!!
Me: Uhhhh what is it?
Co-worker:  Its sooooo good just try it! *pushes green thing towards me*

Me: Uhhhh it looks like an overgrown UNRIPE fig. 
Co-worker: *exasperated* Just EAT IT!
Me: okay okay, geez... *takes a bite*
*seconds later*
Me: OMG that is soooo juicy and sweet!!! *looks at fruit*

*WTF?!?!*

Right...clearly a FIG...good thing I kinda like figs....

I forgot how "icky" they look once you bite into them... 

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSS!

Well that looks...interesting....

Hmmmm.

Friend on IG: "Hey that looks like a dogs butt-hole after a worm infestation"
Me: Aaaaaaannnndd now I'm going to vomit.....

GROSS!!!!!

I still like figs though. Just wont look at them while I'm eating...lest I envision worms and a dogs @$$ *shudder*

Its a "Melon Fig"...at least that is what I was told....

I am told this would be frowned upon...still don't think its a bad idea....

So in the wake of SOOOOOOO many horribly violent crimes, I had one of those things...you know, a headache with pictures. 

Anyway...I had this thought.   I swear I am normally a pacifist but I've had enough!  Now I am not an Inventor so I don't really know how this would work but it was just the initial thoughts...so don't judge too harshly. 

Also, I may be a bit irritated...see my last post about the INSANELY violent month of June we had.  I mean Thursday night I received two news alerts TWO MINUTES apart. 

1. Officer involved shooting
2. SWAT called, man holed up in a home

The officer involved shooting was because during a traffic stop a suspect drove away and opened fire on an officer...so he returned fire.  *WTF?!!?!?!*

The SWAT thing was because of...no clue.  All it said was he was holed up and no hostages were involved (THANK GOD!).  There isn't an update so I have no idea. 

My point is these are two more crazy things...just in JUNE!  People do not VALUE life!  Since when is it common place to SHOOT AT POLICE?!?!  I know its basically always happened but it seems WAY more common now.  Its like people know the CONSEQUENCES wont be that bad so they justify it in their cracked out heads somehow. 

Moving on to my "idea"...change the consequences.  Jail time is too lenient.  Seriously...in some cases prison is better than their current living situation so yea.  People scream Death Penalty but I think that is too Easy of an out for violent crimes...not "harsh" enough.  I am not a believer in torture but I am a believer in teaching.  So you think it is okay to harm another living creature or take a life.  For an determined amount of time you EXPERIENCE the same violence/death as your victim(s) every day.  Not actual death mind you, just the feeling of it.  It does sound like some 9th circle of Hell on Earth but maybe that is what we need.  If, that doesn't knock some f**king sense into humanity we are a lost f**king cause!

You still don't get what I am saying.  I mean like a cracked out VR program.  You beat someone to death in a fit of drunken rage...you EXPERIENCE that same beating DAILY for your "term".  You shoot someone in cold blood...hey, lets see how you like a bullet to the gut.   You like raping people...oh yea buddy, you are gonna take it in the @$$ hard.  You like diddling kids...how would you like a 2x4 roughly shoved into your unmentionables.  You think its okay to stab someone REPEATEDLY...lets see how you like being stabbed multiple times.  Or are you a strangler...how do you like not breathing?!? Lets see how you like the feeling of your life slowly leaving you.  Lets see how you like the feeling of KNOWING you are going to die because someone else is a f**k nugget!  If people knew...ACTUALLY KNEW the pain they were causing maybe, just maybe these idiots would think twice before harming someone or taking a LIFE. 

Apparently this would be considered psychological torture and is frowned upon.  But clearly what we are doing isn't working.  People don't FEAR jail time enough to NOT commit a crime.  Maybe its an education thing...but some of these violent criminals are very well educated and come from decent families.  Its society as a WHOLE.  Life isn't valued.  They don't see other people as HUMAN BEINGS.  They are seen as just some obstacle to conquer or overcome to "better" their situation. 

Obviously, the same judicial rules and regs would be followed.  Innocent until proven guilty and whatnot but if the threat was "hey, you get murdered everyday for the foreseeable future" instead of "life in prison" maybe these jack@$$e$ would start thinking twice before committing these heinous crimes. 

I mean I guess this kind of tech could be used maliciously and is a tad bit mad scientist/sci-fi but something has got to change. 

Rant Over!
