Spellingist? LOL Love it!!

Can I moan and bitch about packing? Actually, I've got quite a bit of it done, and am pacing myself. One or two boxes a day is plenty.

chunter: Talk or grumble monotonously; to talk in a low inarticulate way; mutter

new word for the day. Do I need to chunter on about having to learn new words all the time?.

We had temps in mid 50s Saturday! The snow is just about gone.. for now. I'm out to find that darn ground hog!


Anne - I just read about haboobs ... is your part of AZ filled with them??

An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks, a real mean and tough looking lady opens the door, and before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow patties all over the carpet.

Lins - do we only put jokes in this thread??


He says, "Lady, if this vacuum cleaner doesn't do wonders cleaning this up, I'll eat every chunk of it."

She turns to him with a smirk and says, "You want ketchup on that?"

The salesman says, "Why do you ask?"

She says, "We just moved in and we haven't got the electricity turned on yet."

Pam, what the heck is a haboob? Dare I ask? Are those like funny boobs?

 
 

Anne Rodkin

9 Years Ago

Ahhhhhh. Thank you Joan.

Pam, sometimes yes, there are big, bad dust storms. We had a whopper of one when I was still in New Mexico. I think mostly though, it's those silly pain in the butt dust devils. They're sort of like miniature tornadoes, but don't usually do a lot of damage.

Anne- they sound awful. Sure don't want to see you stuck in those at all!

I now officially have no clue where I left off anywhere.

Got notified by amazon that someone had accessed my account, so changed the password. Then I couldn't get to my amazon smile pages......got messages it couldn't be found, so went in thru the main amazon site. In the meanwhile, my router suddenly went nuts and there was a red light showing so I had to pull the plug on that and then plug it in again. And then, the new password wouldn't work on amazon smile and I kept getting more email alerts from them, so I deleted my shortcut to amazon smile. On top of being pretty upset about the entire thing (must have changed my password 5 times today so far), smile is the program that makes donations to the Mito Association for me, and now that won't happen.

I'm actually remarkably calm, even with all these notifications. It's just so annoying, considering I've had the same amazon password for years and years. But I'm also glad to see their system works and we get notified about problems. I'm actually thinking that this is something at their end on the smile site, rather than anyone accessing my account. I will be watching my credit cards very closely though, just in case.

Oh, and my Kindle was acting funky today too..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Wendy Townrow

Thanks Lins ... chuntering away here ....
phooey on housework ... playing ostrich ...
Anne the Amazon thing sounds painful ....

 

Anne Rodkin

9 Years Ago

Wendy, it's just been a swift pain in the patootie. I can't exist without my amazon. I try not to do real stores, except for food.

 

Wendy Townrow

9 Years Ago

I hope you get it sorted Anne .... I try not to deal with reaal stores if I can help it :-)

Anne, your day yesterday sounded like mine, geez Louize, what a day and now my computer is doing something strange... I have to work to go back to the Firefox menu at the top.
Yesterday, Was taking wine to my sister in law, because they pay twice as much for wine in Tennessee than we do in Georgia and she was out and we are spending the week here. I opened the back of the new van and the box had shifted and the entire box of large bottles broke at my feet. What a waste, what a mess, what a disaster, then I stopped at the packaged store (only place you can buy it in TN) and the same 9.00 bottle cost 17.00.
Pam good to see you again in a thread.
Went to a birthday party on Sunday for my grandson, We are now waiting for the gift that keeps on giving to arrive...Strep Throat..hoping it doesn't..
and I forgot my pillows...and my neck hurts...
and I'm behind in everything in my life
Is that enough bitching for you?

 

Anne Rodkin

9 Years Ago

Jan, Jan, Jan........... and how's the foot where you got cut with the glass from the broken wine bottles? I think hands down, you have won the official bad day contest. Luckily, today is a brand new day, and here's hoping it improves for both of us.

 

Linsey Williams

9 Years Ago

Damned awful you lost that bloody wine and what a price to get some more eh, the robbin $$%^&&&*

Anne I feel for you. But like you said its good to know that their site security works. Oh that wasn't a complaint I am sorry about that.

xx

 

Anne Rodkin

Well, it happened again today, so I called amazon. Customer service didn't have a clue, other than to have me reset my password for the sixth or seventh time in 24 hours. It's really wearing thin. She did say an investigation would be started (yeah,right).

Given the passwords I'm now using, nobody would have it to access my account, and amazon seems to be the only place that's claiming it happened, so I'm wondering if there isn't a problem at their end.

In any event, I've downloaded my old anti-virus/security program from AVG again. Mine expired about a month ago, and I just didn't want to spend the money, but I guess I'll have no choice. The good news is it's apparently giving me the one month free trial again (I use AVG).

I think I need a nap.

 

Wendy Townrow

9 Years Ago

Jan ya gotta win the complaints department!!!! My nephew came to pick up a bed which they need for this weekend, it rained on it on the way home so now the bed is wet ...eeek .. its hot and humid but they will need to dry it before tonight ...

Anne ... I had AVG ... and it ran out but when I went to uninstall it, there is the option of the free one ... try that. I installed Avast but I am not sure what I think of that one yet. Ugh on Amazon though.

Its only morning here and I think I need a nap too ....




 

Anne Rodkin

9 Years Ago

Wendy, I had the free version for years and was quite happy with it, but I really like the paid version with all of its security features. Since I have another whole free month, I have time to decide which way to go. I think Kim uses Avast too.

So far so good on the amazon issues. Only that one warning so far today.

 

Wendy Townrow

Good to hear Anne :-)

So I stopped in for a laugh, but since my night was filled with dreams about being interrogated by a smart mouth detective I was in more of a bitching mood.
I've had 2 regular patrol officers, 2 forensics (bumbling I might add) officers and 1 a-hole of a detective stomping thru the house in the last week leaving muddy footprints everywhere and all of them telling me about how the perpetrators have rights and they can't do much about it.
The detective who was here yesterday acted like I had imagined the three bullet holes and bullet in the book into existence. He talked to me like I was stupid and kept trying to mix me up by flipping back and forth from subject to subject. I suppose he figured if I was old enough to be his mother then I must not have many brain cells left.
No wonder people don't report things! The victim (me) is being treated like I'm the one who did something wrong.

OK...that' my bitch for the day...thanks!

geez...another cyclone? stay safe

 

Wendy Townrow

9 Years Ago

Same one Joan ... it decided to come back because it likes us, cat 2 at the moment, will probably increase to a cat 3 and looks like crossing the coast north of us ....

 

Wendy Townrow

9 Years Ago

Strapping in .... it looks like being a nasty one, they are saying it wont go over me but we are sure to feel the effects ...thanks for the thoughts :) already a cat 3 and forecasted to cross Friday morning as a Cat 4 ...

 

Linsey Williams

Flippen eck Wendy, keep ya head down girl.

 

Eleanore Ditchburn

Sounds terrifying, stay safe.

 

Linsey Williams

She hasnt been in for a while, looks like the power is out.

 

Wendy Townrow

9 Years Ago

All good here guys, the cyclone slipped over the coast North of us as a Cat 3, not as the 4 they feared. We have had little effect here. We are still watching it as cyclones can be so unpredictable. Thanks for the thoughts everyone :)
On the moaning side, we could have done with some of the rain lol .... Mr Arthur Itis is making his presence felt!

 

Wendy Townrow

I guess we havnt got enough to moan about :)

 

Darren Robinson

I don't enter many contests on FAA... A friend told me I should enter more because it helps your name show up in google searches....
So I entered an Iris painting contest in The magic of Flowers. I was monitoring the voting process and by the last day I was near first. Then I was IN FIRST by a couple votes... Then with 25 minutes to go... I had 20 votes and the second place painting had 19... I figured I had the win (or at least a tie if they got one more vote i that last 25 minutes).... Wouldn't you know it..... I checked again right at the end and that person had 21.
Okay... no big deal... I got 2nd place. What really BURNS MY BRITCHES is that the person that WON??!!!! Was the groups admin!!!
WTF??? Then she announced the winners and referred to herself in the "third person"??!!!!
I'm sorry but I don't think the "admin of a group" running the contest should be IN the contest... let alone come in and snatch the win at the 11th hour!!!

AM I WRONG??? (usually. LOL)

There... Thanks for letting me get that off me chest!!!

 

Eleanore Ditchburn

9 Years Ago

Ha ha,

Well I'm worried about your britches now! Rest assured I shan't enter one of my own contests, it's enough work running this and my f/t job as an artist without adding self-aggrandisement onto the list :)

Look out on Wednesday for our April theme!

Eleanore

 

Wendy Townrow

9 Years Ago

Darren I can sympathise with you ... that was not a good position to be in at all. Hugs, but congrats on the near win, you have kudos for that! :)

Eleanore I can understand what you mean , hugs to you too.

 

Curtis Knight

8 Years Ago

Darren, I agree!
talk about a conflict!

oh well, pour some water on the britches and try again! :)

 

Wendy Townrow

8 Years Ago

lol Curtis, now that would make an image.

Just recovering from Hard drive failure .... eek. 4 days without my computer .... AND it was on on April 1st.

 

Eleanore Ditchburn

8 Years Ago

I am having a BIG work spring clean, and I've just completed the shameful assessment. There are many piles of paper, many files on the computer and the dust bunnies are legion! But just imagine my smooth running, minimalist business in a month or so (hmmm let's see) :D

 

Wendy Townrow

8 Years Ago

Keep us posted Eleanore, have you named those dust bunnies yet? I have a similar pile that needs to be dealt with, my minimalist business is struggling lol. I need to get my business head in gear for a while to get things under control.

I had a weird thing happening on my computer. After hubby installed the new Hard drive ... it was chewing up available space and I have no idea why ... so he was looking at it last night ... I will have to ask him what the diagnosis is when he gets up. He seems to have recovered space again though. Hopefully he has cured what was ailing it.

Hope Lins is feeling betterer now.

 

Eleanore Ditchburn

8 Years Ago

They're called Chokey, Sneezy, Wheezy and Itch. I hope the hard drive problem gets sorted, I spent most of Friday sorting 'virtual' problems.

Wendy Townrow

8 Years Ago

Good names for them ... I still seem to have space leak on the HD and have to work out why ... something is chewing it up. Sorting the "virtual" problems does eat into the creative time :) xx

 

Constance Lowery

I have been on FAA for a year and a half now. I get a lot of views and a lot of comments and I think my photography is pretty good. There have been no sales. The only people who see my work are fellow artists and they arn't going to buy anything. I have two sisters who each bought a small print but I'm not counting them. Is there something about FAA that I don't know that is holding me back?

 

Lee Craig

8 Years Ago

Constance...FAA is beyond huge and it is up to you to market your work outside of the site. Even using all the social media platforms, it is still nearly impossible to get your work out there and seen by prospective buyers. FAA won't really market you...only a select few are marketed by them. Most of us are simply swallowed up and lost in here. You aren't alone!

 

Wendy Townrow

8 Years Ago

Its nice to know I am not alone ....

 

Patricia Greer

8 Years Ago

What no bitching since May? Guess your lives are better than mine...lol. Just because I live in a tropical paradise doesn't mean I haven't got a thing to bitch about...bugs for instance..I live in an old...ok charming but old house which I just learned was brought by boat here from Parris Island...where the marines are...I learned this fact from the really nice guy who was jumping my car battery at the shrimp boat docks where I go almost every Sunday...calm, peaceful, wind blowing in hair kind of peacefulness...usually no tourists, the fish market closed on Sunday. It was almost 100 degrees and it felt like a furnace. He had to go to his boat. Go down inside of it to get the jumper cables, move his big truck up to my little car and voila! It worked...Southern men are oh so helpful. southern people are nice, always nice. One person in twenty years was rude to me...that is the darn truth. Lucky men, paradise with bugs...the bugs will be another whole story:-)

 

Wendy Townrow

8 Years Ago

Sounds good Patricia ....

sorry I have been absent ... real life has got hectic lately

 

Linsey Williams

8 Years Ago

Patricia could you send some of those nice Southern men this way please.

 

Joan Carroll

8 Years Ago

make sure you send a nice good looking one Patricia.

 

Patricia Greer

8 Years Ago

Linsey,.......you will have to come here...once a person is here for....oh gosh...they say ..once you drink the water, you will never leave...and it's true...lol. They/We really don't leave. In fact they think people who do leave are temporarily insane and will come back eventually. I moved away once and every time I would come to visit...every single person I ran into said...the same thing..." When you moving back? " so lack your bags and come on down...we will find you a nice...good ole boy....lol

 

Eleanore Ditchburn

8 Years Ago

Actually Patricia, plenty to moan about but been too crazy busy.

I'm in agreement with the sales comment above, plenty of looking but no takers. I sell all my art face to face and use FAA for prints and bits and bobs to sell. Being a painter it's a slooow process, so some prints etc are great for peeps.

Am I allowed to peeve at all the good art uploaded spoilt by poor photography quality...

 

Wendy Townrow

8 Years Ago

Eleanore that is definitely a good peeve, poor photography does not do artwork any favours at all.

So Lins when are you packing your bags to go visit Patricia :)
