I have no clue why I join programs to socialize and then never really socialize. I have decided not to join anything else because I have no clue how they work. Every once in awhile I go on Facebook to keep up with old friends and family because I hate talking on phones. I don’t play the games or really get involved, but sometimes I try to find people that I may have gone to school with.
The other night I apparently hit add friends or find friends and it sent invitations to everyone in my address book going back 8 years. I am such an idiot and don’t even remember half those people nor apparently do half of them even remember where they know me from. I will have to be careful what I click from now on or just abstain from even bothering to log in. I can’t even remember half of the social sites I’ve joined over the years, however Twitter is one I never bothered with.
After 2 years of using the program Entrecard for finding new blogs and driving more traffic to this blog I have finally decided to terminate my association in 2 weeks time. I enjoyed using the program and found some great blogs which I will continue to visit. I really don’t have the desire or time even though I will continue to update here and visit the blogs I like.
It’s not like I’m imparting any great helpful news or wisdom and I’m not witty and funny. I started this as a personal website almost 8 years ago then switched it to a marketing website. Then 2 years ago I decided to try blogging and switched it again. I like blogging, but I really don’t have a burning desire to be a writer, I just like the idea of throwing words out there that mean nothing to anyone, but myself. I need to go for awhile so take care everyone.
I just about cracked up when I received the phishing e-mail from PayPal below in my regular mail and not my spam. I get PayPal phishing e-mails all the time, but they seldom end up in my inbox. This person must be very new at this because they didn’t even change this “xezdcg@webssl.com” to look like a PayPal address and if these people actually think I would download an attachment and fill it out with all of my credit card info and send it to them then they must really be a sub-par crook. I really cracked up when I read this part at the very end: “ Note: Your Card Number and ATM PIN are being used for authentication purposes.”

The following was sent to me by an old friend so I thought I’d share with you.
A Beautiful Message About Growing Old
Crap.
I forgot what it was.
The Steve Wilkos Show, anyone watch? I never did either till today and the only reason I watched today was because I told Bill I would tape it for him. He’s been telling me for a few weeks that some kid that worked for him was going to be on there along with the daughter and ex wife of someone he works with now so I recorded it for him.
Those kinds of shows are weird and as far as I’m concerned the people that go on them have to be strange to start with. I would never expose myself like that for 15 minutes of fame and at what cost? It’s so sad. Writing a blog and telling strangers about your sad life is bad enough, Bill will get a kick out of it anyhow because he knows them all.
Getting 100 dollars a day and a hotel room for the time you are there for taping and people thinking you’re a real jerk after the show aired just wouldn’t be worth it, but to each their own someone else is welcome to my 15 minutes.
There are so many things we want to do and experience together before we get too old to enjoy them. We have started making our bucket list and will cross them off when and if some of those things happen for us. We realize that life is short and it’s really flying the older we get, I want to be rich, but I know that will never happen unless I hit the lottery. I have a list of all the places we want to go and I have fun checking out the attractions of each place online and computing costs.
My cousin lives in Waco and he told me that the Houston Rodeo & Livestock Show is great fun and since they live around 191 miles from Houston when we go to visit next March that will certainly be on our list. I have been to small rodeo’s, but never a Texas rodeo and we love to watch them on television. We are so looking forward to Bill retiring so we can finally start doing some of our bucket list. Just like window shopping I also like to check out the dates of these things and the prices of the Houston Rodeo concert tickets varied depending on which concert we choose or which day we go, of course I’ll have to recheck next year.
Money will play a big factor in what we can and can’t do, but we really don’t have to have the most expensive seats, I do have binoculars and just being there would be a new experience for us both. Some of the places I have already been and would like to go back to and share with Bill, like Nevada and others will be a first for us both. I have always wanted to take a cruise, but that’s not something he wants to do, but I still check the prices, I’m hoping he will change his mind. Our bucket list just keeps on growing and we keep on dreaming.
