Oh and don’t forget to go to my Wednesday post and leave me a comment in order to win Erin Bried’s book “How To Sew A Button…” See what I did there? Yeah I made it easy for you just click on Wednesday post and it will take you right to the post that was just 2 days ago. No scrolling back no fuss no muss. I love your comments so far. It sounds like our grandparents and parents really were the greatest generation. I mean teaching us to play poker and watch baseball are very important things

So here it is the week before Christmas and people are getting more and more stressed. How do I know this? I went to buy cleaning supplies and it was as if the famine had hit. People were stomping on each others toes in order to get that last mechanical hamster.

I took Boz for a walk the other day. While on our walk we encountered a man walking his dog. He looked at Boz and said “Is that a poodle?” I looked at him square and the eye and said nope it’s a miniature Christmas llama only one in existence.
How come the Salvation Army bell ringers on those sappy Christmas movies always wear Santa suits but the ones in my town just wear jeans and T-shirts? Do you think they really are collecting for the Salvation Army or collecting beer money?

This week’ overheard was actually a telephone conversation I had with a credit card company. I was disputing a charge on my bill. Yes someone had charged fire insurance on my card.
Me: I did not authorize a charge to XYZ Fire Insurance Company.
Customer Service: So you are saying you didn’t order a fire?
Me: No, not a fire, fire insurance from XYZ Fire Insurance Company.
Customer Service: Did they send you the merchandise?
Me: What merchandise?
Customer Service: The fire. Did they send you the fire?
Me: No. It is not for FIRE it is for FIRE INSURANCE and I DID NOT ORDER IT.
Customer Service: Can you describe the merchandise again?
Me: We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Thanks Billy Joel
Customer Service: I’m sorry I don’t understand.
Me: Obviously

LOVE LOVE LOVE the conversation with the credit card company, and your response to the poodle question. Priceless!!
Lol! You are funny!
And yes, in the movies those bell ringers sure do make it look like a fun job. But I'm pretty sure in real life it's a job given to those trying to fulfill community service hours....
I so enjoyed reading these. You had me cracking up. Did you really say that about your dog??? Did he believe you???? OMG!! I am on the floor with that one. Have a Merry Christmas and a great VGNO
My GF just asked me what I was laughing at. I said, barely able to get it out,"I am laughing at the miniature Christmas llama" lol
The why lie need beer sign makes me laugh & almost more likely to give him a dollar. A few years back they did a news investigation around here & sent a reporter out to get $ at the off ramps and they made quite a bit. They even talked to a guy who said he'd make $30K doing it the year before...
Hope you have a great holiday season! :) Happy VGNO!
Stopping by from VGNO. LOL about the llama, that was a great line! You know I have not seen a Salvation Army bell ringer this year... not that I have been shopping that much, and I might have been too early for him at Wal-Mart this morning.
Your photos are great... love the red shoes! Wish I could still wear shoes like that!
Have a great weekend. We are waiting for snow!
VGNO
Great Shows!
Happy VGNO!
