Strange Phone Numbers

RING RING, run to the phone....

Have you ever received a phone call and answer the phone only to get a recording or dead silence? I know I have and since they have come out with caller ID I don't answer any call when it is an unfamiliar number. Today at work, bored as usual and surfing the internet, I found this pretty neat site called www.reportphonenumbers.com . This site allows you to list the phone number and leave a comment about the caller. At www.reportphonenumbers.com you can also look up an unknown phone number to see id any other use has listed it already. So if you are trying to avoid someone or some company this might be the site for you. If it is a telemarketer you can inform the whole world or warn them who the mystery caller is. Check it out, maybe look up some of those unnown numbers that have showed up on your caller ID..

I know, completely off topic but, hey what can I do?? Not

Fooled, Again

I am a big Internet surfer and when I ever came upon CAT6 I thought it had to do with some sort of medical device or test, something of the sort. Well I could not have been anymore off base than I was with this one. CAT6 was going to be something new and exciting to blog about here at A Day In The Zone...aaawww nope! CAT6 is actually electronic stuff, yup! Isn't it amazing how you can assume what something is by what it is called. So with that idea kicked to the curb I can tell you that they do have all types of thingys to hook up your home theater system! Jacks, panels, security, power, basically what ever you need!

Well now I am off to research some info that might fit well over here at this blog. Maybe Tree Man will come up in conversation again. Athough it was creepy to watch and still lingers in my mind, I really do feel for people who have such harsh diseases.

I Think I Have Been Scarred

Ok, so I am one of those die hard Discovery Health and TLC channel watchers. Not much bothers me when it comes to shows that have to do with facial deformities and different things of that nature. That is until last night...Last night I watched 2 hours of the Tree Man on TLC. This man had massive warts growing all over his body and his hands and feet looked like tree roots. Now I feel all out of sorts, I mean usually it doesn't bother me but I just can't shake the feeling of being really, well, grossed out. I know it is not his fault and maybe it is because it is warts, I don't know. I kinda wish I went and looked for that tv lift cabinet that my husbands want. I just feel creeped out and now I am kicking my self in the ass for watching not 1 hour but 2 hours of shows about this guy. I really do feel bad for him and they have been trying to help him, thank god.



Ir amazes me how brave people are and very brave at that because I would never be able to walk around with such a disorder like this. Now, I am going to go have a cigarette and try to get this out of my mind.

Candy

Oh my weakness...Halloween is my favorite time of the year and unfortunately I enjoy eating the candy too! This year I am going to try hard not to eat so much, seeing as the gym is really paying off! Really though it is soo hard to say no to the little chocolaty bars that I hand out every year..How could I deprive the children of such goodness? I know, contributing to their sugary addictions and possible acne problems is not good either, but after all, it is Halloween. Geez...snap out of it already!

So do you guys help fuel the childhood addictions to sugar on such an awesome night? Or are you they family that hands out other things such as little boxes of raisins, bags of pretzels or something else? Please do share with me what you give out for Halloween goodies. I am always open to hearing what kids refer to "that house" are giving out this year.

I Need Lessons From Her!

***Dammit..the video isn't showing up!**
So I was checking out my email this morning and a friend of mine send me one of the joke type emails. The title, Husband got you angry ?, so of course I open the email and there is some text and a video. The text says"When your husband does something that makes you angry don't give in to the temptation to argue and fight. Just count to ten, remain calm and after he goes to bed, super-glue his flip flops to the floor."

I just about fell off my chair! Who is this woman and where can I meet up with her for some lessons. I certainly hope those shoes were not those expensive Dansko shoes ! I love the creative type people and at times wish I was witty like that. I am the type of person that comes up with a snarky idea or comment hours after the argument is over!

Wake Up People!

So I guess I am on a small rampage this morning and really am at my breaking point. Go figure, it is 5:42 am and what could possibly be driving me to the brink? Well, alot! I guess I may have waited to long for my coffee, nah, maybe blog issues..YUP. Custom domains, BlogSpot and Google Aps are the culprits...

You know I have talked about diet pills a lot lately and I guess trying to find real stories from real people has been tough. All companies want people to purchase their product so they come up with all of these so called great reviews. Ever read a Hydroxycut review? Now try and find someone who has personally had a bad experience. Pretty tough, you can find a lot about the dangers of using this product but not much from real people. I guess since ephedra has been banned, thisngs have quieted down a little. So who is up for a trip to the gym or a stroll around your neighborhood? Come on people, are you proud to say you belong to the fattest nation on the earth?

Want Some Candy?

Hmmm..I always thought a Ju Ju Be was a type of candy. You know the ones, they sell them at the movies for an insane amount of money. They are the multi-colored candies that stick to your teeth like glue. Well, in this case, they aren't candies they are diaper bags! Who would have thought?

How was everyones weekend? Mine was ok..a little long but still managable. I cleaned out the basement. Looking at it you wouldn't know, but I know. One the crap is out of here it will look better. Otherwise besides my sons football game, it was pretty quiet.
