Panic at the mall

Hello!

Good day y’all!


You are not going to believe me but frigid temperatures hit the region again! We got -7c and today when I went to buy food at the local shopping store, I bundled up like if it was winter! Big jacket, gloves, hat, I went winterized; apparently all week will be like this. At the end of my shopping we passed and got us some Subway…end of a perfect weekend where I got a new mike, a new tie and I got hit on by some one at the mall yesterday... YEAH!

Yesterday while returning my bowtie because it wasn’t long enough, it was size 18 and I needed size 22, I got a flirt at the food court! I bought a fajita dish and needed to transport it to a table, the young lady cashier offered to bring the plate over to a table when suddenly another young lady grabbed the plate and said that she would bring it over to a table. I said thanks and I thought that was it, but it wasn’t! The girl sat me down at her table and then began to chat me up. She asked me if I was “married or happy” I told her happy and it was like I had just switched on “Turbo” mode. We talked about different things I told her my age and everything negative about me, but even then she left with the line: “You are intoxicating” I think that’s good, right?! I mean, I did not fart or smell bad, so I took it as her good deed of the day because she was young and she was very pretty…



Maybe she has daddy issues I dunno, all in all it was a good weekend…



Take care folks.

On a Saturday like today...

How are you doing? 

Well, I went shopping today and I bought a whole bunch of stuff…  Actually, I’ve just exchanged my bowtie for a tie, bought a USB port multiplier(?!) and as a bonus I bought myself a microphone!  Why?  Well, I want to start live meetings on FB and perhaps start re-doing podcast… Remember when I did a couple of web videos? I use a headset and stuff? Well now I got this stand alone mike and it seems to be working pretty damn good; maybe I’ll buy Dragon Naturally Speaking 13 but it is not compatible with Windows 10 that's what I read. We’ll see….And I can only hope that seeing that I worked at that place for about 10 years until they pushed me into this wheelchair with all their dangerous crap no one else could do, maybe a copy of such application might drop out of a truck and find its way here...*hint* Nuance people *hint*...



On a sadder note, it appears that out of all the members of my mom's family, she is the last one standing…. Her oldest sister just passed away, now of the original Aviles clan, she’s the last one standing… RIP Teresa de Jesus del Socorro… She was 88.

Happier days...



That’s it for me folks, have a good one…

Your excellen...er... Your Highness

Hello!

Good day y’all… I know I haven’t been blogging up much lately but there is a valid explanation….let me briefly tell you about it: No word processor to work with on my new computer; until now and then only for 30 days…..but let’s get back to my story…

So I have been going to MS society meetings these couple of months and well yesterday was the mother of all MS meetings: closing the financial year!

Yup, the society has a whole meeting on what happened financially last year and it is a formal meeting with “proposals” and “who seconds the motion” and boring to the old Chuck I was; but now, it seems I’m power hungry! I would like to start working for the group with a future goal of becoming president of the association. So last night I asked questions regarding first steps to take to help them out, after finishing this post I will submit my contribution to the group in hopes of one day being called “your excellency”; it’s going to happen, I will propose a motion that will force people into doing this and I will get some schlep to second that motion…

Any hoot, prior to the meeting they served a whole bunch of food that enticed me into being there next year…


Take care folks….
