Okay. Worked all day and it’s still happening.
Tomorrow is another day! Lol
rubysmama It does take good photos. Froggie really made me laugh.
tarasgirl06 Technology is a love hate relationship. My young days were so much simpler. The phone rang, you never knew who it was but it was never a scam and if you didn’t answer, they called back. It was always friend or family or something important. No one called early in the day , during mealtime or late at night. If you called someone, a human answered. A phone either worked or the company came to repair it. I laughed at a post someone did about letting some kids try and figure out how to use an old rotary phone. Kids now are a whiz on anything computerized but they couldn’t figure out that phone! Lol The world is constantly changing. My Grandmother went from horse and buggy/ no electricity days into men on the moon and computers. It must have been mind boggling for her. I often changed light bulbs for her. She was fascinated by microwave ovens. Me too. My first cell phone was like a pocketbook! My first video camera was the size of a small cat carrier! We get good and bad with everything. It’s all in how we choose to deal with it.
I don’t answer numbers I don’t know either but if I do get caught by a scam call, I either keep saying bless you until they hang up or I describe how sick I was the last time I threw up. Both work quite well. I had one guy ( really nasty scam about IRS) that I kept saying bless you to who finally whispered into the phone,” Lady, don’t ever answer this number again.” I guess my approach was not one he expected. Maybe sometimes we actually get something good out of something that starts badly. I often wondered what he did after he hung up that day. Maybe he found something better to do? We can always hope.
We still have the beauty and wonder of nature around us! Frogs who send peace signs!
M maggiedemi I agree. A million dollar pic! I could not believe what I was seeing. They are supposed to be shy creatures but Froggie stayed right there! This posted! Lol Coming back!
