Candy wrapper jokes

I love corny jokes. You know the ones that you read and groan and roll your eyes because they’re so stupid. I love ‘em. Not only that but I laugh like I’m watching Def Comedy Jam or something. I even share them with the people I work with.  hehehe.

There’s a candy called Laffy Taffy that has jokes written on the wrappers. My favorite from the past 2 days: What kind of key does not open a lock? A monkey. lololol. Ok seriously if you could see me right now, I giggling my behind off.

It doesn’t take much to make me laugh.

Doctor appointments stink

Yuck. There is nothing I hate more than seeing the eye doctor. I avoid it at all costs but I wear contacts so I have to have my eyes examined every year. I don’t have many medical supplies to buy except new contacts. Luckily it’s only once a year.

The good thing is I have the whole day off from work so I’ll go shopping and eat some fast food that I normally wouldn’t have. I’m still trying to watch what I eat but I’m not on a diet. I don’t want to gain my weight back especially with the holidays coming up. I plan on gorging on my moms food.

I hate google

I refuse to even capitalize the name of this company. I am so angry right now. They have decided that if you write paid posts, they are going to reduce your page rank. Of course advertisers use page rank to determine how popular your site is. This is faulty in and of itself, but it’s what has been working.

The thing that is really pissing a lot of people off is that if you use “their” adsense program, they’re not devauling your blog. Even though that program pays next to nothing for blogs. If you have a regular website you might do ok but most blogs are done. Meanwhile the webmasters over at the “g” place are sitting back laughing. I’d like to take a Nike golf club and smack their desks and scare em’ half to death.

No I wouldn’t actually hit them. But boy am I imagining it.

Writing challenges

Are you participating in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) or NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)? I’m wasn’t formally participating in either one. I say formally because I try to update this blog daily anyway.

So of course I decide to write every day in November and I messed up yesterday. I posted late at night close to midnight. However the time stamp is off on my blog so it posted for the 15th instead of the 14th.

I didn’t think November would be a good month for me for this challenge anyway. With  2 U.S. holidays I figured I would miss some days anyway. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

It’s worse than we thought

I wrote yesterday about how some of the cars in my neighborhood had been vandalized. We thought they broke a couple of windows and egged cars and that was it. It was worse than that. It looked like they took baseball bats to some of the cars. They had smashed in windows, smashed bumpers and put dents all over their cars. Some of those cars will need serious dent repair to get their cars back in shape.

It also looked like some of the cars had been keyed. That’s where you take your keys and just scrape along the side of a car. All of this without provocation or anything. I did see on the local news where it was happening a week or so ago in another neighborhood. But it’s never happened in our area and I’ve lived there for 6 years.

I hate to say I’m glad I don’t have a car right now but I really am.

What is wrong with people?!?!

Stupid kids. I’m assuming it’s kids and not adults. Somebody went through egging cars in the neighborhood. Now I understand the concept of Devil’s Night or whatever you call it, but that was back in October. What’s the reasoning now?

There is no reason. Some people are just idiots. They broke car windows and slashed a few tires. The only people that didn’t get hit were people that were using car covers, otherwise it was a mess. The worse part was that it happened late at night and people came out and discovered it in the morning just as they were getting ready to go to work.

Some people were just late for work but a few had to call off. This is costing people serious money. I just hope they find out who did it and prosecute them to the fullest.

Watching reality shows

I hate reality tv. I know it’s fake. Most of the people are just looking to advance their acting careers and that’s cool. I just can’t believe some of the lengths some people go to while they’re on tv though.

I’m thinking specifically about I Love New York 2. I still can’t believe that whole episode with her feet. But last week with the helmet still has me cracking up. I usually read the synopsis on the internet and watch the actual show the following week. Spoiler say she ends up with either Tailor Made or Buddha, depending on which site you believe. Buddha is sexy and scary at the same time. What does it say about me that I like it, I like it a lot.

I would never go on any of these shows though. I guess I’m not enough of a exhibitionist.

Happy Veterans Day!

I’m not good at stuff like this so I’ll just say Thank You to all of the veterans and all of the current members of the armed forces protecting and serving our country!

Selling company stock

Ugh, I’m not happy about this. I know that if prices go down, then you can buy low and sell high. But my step-father has some stock that he wants to sell. It was stock he received from a company he worked at years ago. It was from a profit sharing plan. The company used the money as a bonus so the employees had no out of pocket costs. Anything he gets from his sale will be pure profit.

However, right now his old company is going through some growing pains. I’m sure they could use some corporate performance management help to right their ship. I know my step-dad hopes they do something so their share price will go back up. He’s hoping to get enough money to buy a new car. I don’t even know what type of car he wants but I do know he wants to pay cash.

Empty seats at sporting events

Of course I’m watching the Steelers game and I’m amazed and a little ticked off at all of the empty seats that I see. Steelers tickets are so hard to get. This year the team decided to sell all of their excess seats on the internet. I wasn’t happy with that because you know the majority of tickets would be bought by scalpers.

All games are now sold out and you can’t find tickets. Then you watch the game and there are empty seats throughout the stadium. Some of those seats belong to the season ticket holders who didn’t go. But I bet some of those tickets are in the hands of scalpers.
