Check Update!

I pondered that thing for hours wishing that it indeed was valid. Well i'm like 95% sure that is not. I did manage to call the FBI no not female body inspectors Lol. Well it sounded cool to say I called them. I really did though. Anyway the gentleman on the phone said that the check most likely originated in Nigeria and typically there is a note enclosed stating that you should cash the check and wire the money back to Nigeria and they get rich while your happy ass is getting investigated. I still plan on contacting Wachovia Bank so that they are aware that this is still occuring. The FBI also gave me an interesting piece of statistical information. At least 10,000 of these checks come through each state per month and that alt least 5 or 6 people per month are stupid enough to cash them. Somehow someone got my address from a list somewhere and that is how I got this check. I hope that this reaches out to someone so that people know that these things are going on. I guess I'm not the sucker I thought I was.
There is also another scam going around watch out for the people from a London textile company they try to scam you into thinking they are giving you a job you get the money send it to them and then you get a "comission" How I burned them I told them to send me information about the company and what type of "job" I would actually be doing. Never heard from them again.
I know this may sound a bit freaky but I am a single woman and not afraid to admit that I have investigated a few potential suitors as far as having the plates on the car looked up. It sounds extreme but you can never be too careful and God bless CCAP!

I Wish HP Was Giving Away Money


I got this in the mail today... What Do you think? Notice that there is no postage stamp on the envelope and the bar code is there? Huh???

Man what I could do with this money! If you can't see it the check is made out for $3250.00.

Dear Alcohol...

Merry Christmas Enjoy!
Someone sent this to me via e-mail and I thougt it was pretty funny... Dana Carvey was right you cant say the word "Judicial" without sounding like a drunken idiot. Try it!
Dear Alcohol,
First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around at the holidays, hidden inside chocolates, as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:
1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?
2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with chili sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.
3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.
4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/ passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities. Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.

Thank you,

Your biggest fan

Where the heck have I been????

Shit I don't even know anymore. I started this blog like a year ago and was really religious at posting something like everyday right?


I think i'm having one of them life storms again. Or maybe its because I am working 2 jobs. None the less I hope to bring some stuff back here to share. I know the rest of you in the Cheddarsphere are probably getting irritated.

Miller "Friday Night Lights"

I'm sure you have all seen it. Driving down state street at night. Well I took the kids to the brewery last Friday night. It started at the visitor center and a tour guide walked us into the theater. We watched a 10 minute video. If anyone has ever been to the regular tour the video is a hoot! "It's Miller Time" Then the tour proceeded down state street to see the light extravaganza 100,000 LED lights marching to "Wizards in winter" pretty cool! The kids liked it. After that well got a tour of the tunnels Fred Miller dug in the 1850's to keep the beer cold. Had no idea it was 60 degrees in there all the time and its 62 feet underground. We then proceeded to the "Miller Inn" to sample some of the beer 2 cups I think it was Lite and Fosters. They offered the children there pretzels and soda. They also have postcards to send and they pay the postage. I sent out 2 one to the goofball who was supposed to join me and another to my dad just to brag how cool the lights were.. I don't know if this is something that they do all the time but it was neat. This Friday Dec 22 is the last Friday they will be doing the tours with the lights. It starts at 5pm to 8pm and the tours run every 20 minutes. At the end of the tour they do hold a raffle to get some schwag. The price to get in FREE!
