Hump Day...Hhrrrumpfff

I hate this living for the all-to-short-weekend. There must be another way..

Fatman Walks
In the AJC this morning, there is an article about a man walking across the US to lose weight. His name is Gary and he started walking in February. I think it's a bit desparate, but think of all the fun he's having! Getting exercise, meeting new people, sharing experiences, I think that would be a blast. I'm not being sarcastic, I would love to have the time, energy, and guts to pull something off like that.

So imagine my suprise when I Googled 'fatman walking' to get his web site. Yes, there is another Fat Man walking across the US. This guy has been at it for a year and has lost 130 lbs.
I think Weight Watchers is easier and cheaper, but I'll bet he's in better shape!

Just for kicks, I Googled 'Fat Woman walking' and 'Fat girl walking'. I got an article about how French women don't get fat, a company called Fat Girl Walking, a blog about how fat girls cleavage isn't as pretty as thin girls cleavage and another blog on being 'born squishy'. Wow.

International Blog
The comment I got on my blog yesterday indicates that my Blog is now International. I'm so flattered! Keep up the good work, Eunuch. I just wish you hadn't written about Venice, now I want to go.

Some of my links are international, but I really don't know those people, I just loved the blog. Ullrick's mom could easily be my sister, we subscribe to the same housekeeping priciples. LOL! Is that UnBlog-like behavior? To link to someones blog without their permission?

Classified Ads
I recently published an ad on the AJC online classifieds for a bedroom suite. I've had 2 real responses, but I've gotten lots of form letters telling me they represent a client who's interested and would I take payment in a cashiers check...blah, blah, blah. I don't answer these people because the emails they send me are so poorly written, spelling, grammar, and even content. One ad asked for the original cost and the mileage. On my bedroom set? I'm offended, they don't even know me! Besides, I'm throwing away the matress.

Here's an example:
'HELLO SELLER I AM HEREBY INTRESTED IN BUYING THIS UR ITEM FOR MY PASTOR in UR ADVERT ,AFTER SEVERAL CONSIDRATION ON THE WEBSITE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS IN GOOD CONDITIONS DID U HAVE THE PICS TO SHOW HOW BETTER IS IT IN CONDITION THERE,AND I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF U WILL BE ABLE TO TELL ME THE FINAL ASKING PRICE FOR THE ITEM I WISH U COULD SALES IT AT BEST PRICE TO ME COSE IT IS NEEDED and I WILL AWAIT UR RESPONCE toward this transaction '
So what are they looking for? And where did they go to school? I know I've got nothing to lose, just get rid of this furniture, but they will have to come to my house to pick it up and I'm not sure I want people 'like this' to know where I live...


More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'
