Wednesday




       I see that AOL has put a disclaimer under the banner ads now.  
       Too bad that we can't pick a certain type of ad for them to run
       in our journals.  Say, I love cats so they could run ads having
       to do with the kitties on my journal.  I know, not gonna happen.

      Have you ever did something trying to please one person and
      ended up making someone else mad?  There is still some furniture
      in my Aunt E's house.  My dad made a remark about it, so I said
      I thought his friend John wanted it.  No, not John but someone in
      his wife's family (so I was informed).   But dad had just talked
      to John last night and he said that if we could get rid of the stuff
      go ahead because it could be a while before he finds out for sure
      if whoever might want it will actually want it.  Are you following
      all this?  LOL  So I decided to just take matters in my own hands
      and I called the local Rescue Mission and made an appointment
      for them to come out this coming Monday and pick the stuff up.

      Dad called to tell his friend that the furniture was gone.  John
      said fine, but his wife!  Oh she had a hissy fit.  Her family was
      going to come in a week or so to look at it to see if they wanted
      it!  IF THEY WANTED IT.  Maybe they wouldn't want it.
      Gesh.  You try to GIVE someone a room full of furniture and they
      act like you should give them all the time in the world to make
     up their minds.  They have known for about a month that I needed
      to get the stuff out of the house!  Oh well, too late.  The Rescue
      Mission will get it now.

       Oh, and there is a piece that I want, it was her dresser.  I want
       to take the mirror off it and use it as a desk.  Everyone agrees
       that it will make a nice desk.  Dad calls me today to ask if I was
       sure I wanted it, because he thinks maybe I won't.  I tell him
       yes I still want it.  Well it is real heavy and he would hurt his
       back if he moved it today.  So I tell him not to move it yet.  I
       bet he tried to pick it up with the drawers still in it.

       Whenever I have to deal with my aunt's house I get in a really
       crappy mood.  I guess because I am trying to please so many
       people at once.

       And how was your day?  LOL

It's nuts out there in the world, because if you try to please everyone, you wind up going in circles. And that's not a good thing, as you seem to well know.

All's I know, someone offers me free furniture, I make an immediate effort if I'm interested, right?

Well, you tried.
