    Somewhere between here and there
    I was downstairs mixing when someone rang the doorbell. I figured it was either a neighbor or my father in law since they are about the only ones I see. Anyway I got to the door which my wife and daughter left the inside door open but the glass door was shut, and it was a door to door salesman from Vivint. I opened the door and said I’m not interested. He was a bit of a smart azz and said something like well then what am I selling? I said security and again told him I wasn’t interested. He then started off again and said if you had a video doorbell then you wouldn’t have to talk to people like me any more, wouldn’t that be neat? I was about ready to come out of the door and punch him in the mouth. He should be more careful in how he talks to people. The guy I took my gun class from lives in my neighborhood and might just answer the door with his gun on his waist.

    On seeing that the visitor is a salesman, start grinning ear-to-ear, and adopt a nervous, manic, desperate to please attitude.

    "Hi, are you the crime scene cleanup guy? I've been waiting all day, I can't seem to get these stubborn bloodstains out of my sofa after 'The Accident'. Please come in, have a seat, it's sure to be 'Entertaining'." Cackling and furtive glances, while conversing with shadowy imaginative figures might be helpful.

    :p

    I wouldn’t have got that far without shutting the door.

    I did a bunch I feel like I ran a marathon but alas, I merely went to Walmart. Gah.

    You know, food getting expensive. Cheese appeared to have doubled in price. I was distressed. Etc.

    Glad you survived the trip :)

    I tried the last of my untried flavor mixes. It was supposed to be a shortbread/cornbread cookie with black raspberry. I taste the base but the cookie isn’t very strong and I don’t taste the raspberry at all.

    Too low on %?

    Morning, mixers, and Happy Moms' Day to all the moms :)

    Record high temps here, yesterday, but they're saying we won't quite break it today. Still, about 20o above normal. Hope to send it east soon!!

    Dad is fine but they are keeping him a couple more days for additional tests. The hospital finally said one person could visit so my brother took him his dentures, glasses and hearing aids, as well as some fresh underwear last night. I’m going to visit in a little while and take him some clothes and shoes and see what’s going on. Poor thing.

    I’m so glad he got those things. He should at least be more comfortable with them:wub:
