the phone, the phone

I used to love the phone. I loved it when people called me. I loved talking on the phone for hours and hours. My long distance charges were insane, hundreds of dollars a month.

What changed? It was the internet, I guess. I hate the phone now. Just detest it. Whenever it rings, I just know it's going to be either bad news, or someone wanting or selling something.

Now, when the phone rings, I always say the same thing: "Oh, no!"

I use email or Facebook for everything.

Oh, and I still love regular (snail) mail.

But the phone, no way.

paper towel commercials

I don't like those paper towel commercials where the kid spills something and then the Stepford mother cheerfully wipes up the mess.

Vegan? Carnivore?

Apples apples apples (and cherries)

I picked 6 baskets yesterday. Last night I made a pie, using maple syrup to sweeten the rather tart apples. Good pie! This morning I've been peeling apples for a few hours now, and am making apple sauce. This afternoon, I'll pick more apples.

I'll just freeze the sauce and use it throughout the winter.

Caution, zombies ahead

You know, the punctuation is all wrong in this sign. Excessive exclamation marks really aren't necessary. The warning "Caution, zombies ahead" should be enough. And there isn't a comma. There should be a comma. I think this is a trick sign, put up by zombies. Or not. They're probably not capable of actually putting up a sign. And, if a non-zombie knew zombies were "ahead" surely you wouldn't stop to put up a sign. Would you? See what I mean?
