It was peanut butter and banana, on wonder bread, fried.

I have an unlisted number and signed up for my state's do not call list.

Unlisted numbers do very little to stop telemarketers as the numbers are usually called and generated randomly.

If they REALLY want to talk to me, they'll go through the hassle.

Plus, I think it's different in different cities. If you were to call me from an unidentified number, it just gives you a message saying something like "The number you are calling does not accept unidentifed calls. If you wish to continue this call, please enter your area code and phone number. Thank you."

But god that's so annoying to have to dial your number after you've dialed their number. And there are services, that if you dial a number that's not the number you're calling from, it won't put you through. So you get fucked if you're using a calling card.

I come back from a day of pampering at the day spa to find that you are STILL discussing telemarketers. This is more annoying than telemarketing calls themselves, not to mention a goddamned waste of talent and bandwidth.

Fuck you.

Oh, and, happy birthday.




Edited to note that I threw in a gratuitous story of dad/girlfriend incriminating photos, what more could I have done?

Actually, the "bday" was a misspelling of bidet, but I decided that was too personal for the post and edited it out.

When I was a Child younger than my shoe size, I grew up rather poor and so my parents couldn't afford to send me away to camp.

But it sounds like I didn't miss out on much. I spent most of one summer gathering sticks and uprooting young bushes from a nearby park with a bunch of other children* and building an opossum trap. We did catch one, but it escaped while we were trying to figure out what to do with it. For the rest of the summer, we rode our bikes around the neighborhood, looking for dead squirrels in the gutters.

But no, we didn't kill any animals.

*whose parents, like mine, couldn't afford to send them away to camp.

That's what I did after we moved and I guess were poorer. Except we pretended our bikes were cars and would park them in parking spaces of nearby businesses (after they were closed). We weren't as into the dead animals.

Alas, so many of my bikes got stolen that I think eventually my parents stopped replacing them quickly enough and I had to walk.

Are you fucking kidding me? Did you miss the sex toys?
The naked woman?

And besides, it was an entirely different discussion about fucking telemarketers - not a continuation. FYFI.

You were lucky. I got 1 bike stolen (I even helped to pay for it with my allowance money) and that was it. No more bikes until I could pay for it all myself. I guess we were really really poor - that, and living in the hood didn't help. Why buy something else for people to steal?

If you were so poor, how did your parents afford so many bikes?

What about me?

[notcasesensitive]

Who will win the I was poorer than you battle? I will withdraw from the competition by noting that I was solidly middle class. Somewhere below having a doctor for a parent and above hearing my parent announce the blue light specials.

But please, continue. It is riveting.

Happy birthday, Tex Lex. And I won't even say fuck you, because your husband seems to have that covered.

For those who are keeping score, today is my Grandma's birthday. I don't think she cares whether anyone on an internet board wishes her a happy birthday though, as she does not own a computer.



Edited. Grammar. And spelling.
