The past few Saturdays there have been some unwanted visitors to our house. You know who they are. They’ve probably been to your house too. They’re Jehovah Witnesses. If you’re a JW, then no offense, but I really dislike people pushing their religion on me. My husband is just too nice. They’ve\u00a0visited\u00a0the past 3 Saturdays and he’s been home alone\u00a0with the kids. He always answers the door and is polite. So now they think they’ve got a live one. The last JW even gave him a bigger Bibleish book and talked about passages they can\u00a0discuss next time. I told my husband that if he doesn’t put a stop to it, they’ll be dragging him down to their cult headquarters<\/span> church and before you can say Bob’s your uncle we won’t be celebrating Christmas anymore. I Googled JW so I could give him some tips to make them leave. I came across a long list of things that are forbidden to JWs.\u00a0Here are a couple<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

JWs are forbidden to buy Girl Scout Cookies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

JWs are forbidden to have an American Flag or to say the Pledge of Allegiance<\/p>\n

So DH is going to offer to sell them some Thin Mints and then salute the neighbor’s Flag.<\/p>\n

The other night I was in bed using my laptop and I heard a rustling noise coming from under my bed. I was hoping it was one of our cats, but I was pretty sure they were both already downstairs for the night. I got up and checked the basement and sure enough, both cats were there. Crap! That could only mean one thing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently, hiding my chocolate stash in my closet was a really bad idea!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone know of a good exterminator?<\/p>\n

Sorry no scary pictures from me.\u00a0 I’ve been aggravated with people lately, big surprise huh?\u00a0 That never happens. The first type of person that is annoying me is the “I have a cure for whatever ails you<\/em>“.\u00a0 Okay, first off NO OFFENSE<\/strong>, but I’m not into the “all natural”<\/em> thing, nor do I believe in it, but someone continues to advise me on natural things that seem to cure everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.\u00a0 They probably have a cure for swine flu at the all natural store.\u00a0 Today I was talking to someone about my son’s extremely bad allergies, well of course she told me about things that would cure him of them, they were “all natural<\/em>“.\u00a0 I listened to her, and after she told me about the Natural Cure, I replied with, “well, he’s allergic to nature, that’s the problem.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The other day we had an issue with our cable.\u00a0 Our cable wire has been ripped off of our house 3 times now.\u00a0 Once during the horrific ice storm, once just by snow, and last week a big truck must of shredded it off of our house.\u00a0 It was all over the driveway, and completely in the road.\u00a0 I called Comcast and got a “comcastic” person, and told her my problem.\u00a0 This is on a Tuesday, and she tells me that she can schedule an appointment for Thursday.\u00a0 Um, hello?\u00a0 Shredded wire, in road, cars swerving into oncoming traffic to avoid it, maybe you can get me a sooner appointment??\u00a0 I notified the police about the traffic impairment, and actually someone riding by called 911 about a wire in the road.\u00a0 So the big fire truck came and removed the wire.\u00a0 The fireman\u00a0also called Comcast..guess what…..Comcast showed up about 20 minutes later.\u00a0 Moral of the story, get the police and fire involved if your cable goes out you’ll get a much sooner appointment.<\/p>\n

Also that day because of the commotion I could not turn into my driveway.\u00a0 I went to pull into my neighbor’s driveway and I glanced in my rear view mirror.\u00a0 The woman behind me was staring in her rear view mirror at the firetruck and the mayhem at our house.\u00a0 I was thinking that she was going to rear end me.\u00a0 As I stopped and turned into the driveway she finally looked straight ahead and saw me.\u00a0 She slammed on her brakes, swerved and laid on her horn for a minute.\u00a0 Um, hello dumb-ass?\u00a0 You weren’t paying attention so you should not<\/strong> be honking at me!\u00a0 Somehow I accidentally gave her the finger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
