So here's something strangely interesting. We've all received spam, etc., calls. (If I don't know the phone #, I never answer.) So I noticed a "missed call" notification and went to look at the number, and it started with the letter, v and then a string of letters/numbers. Googled the v thing, and the first thing that came up was that it was probably a spam exchange. So just a heads up, if anyone else sees a strange string starting with v, for a "missed call".

I haven't ordered anything on any of big sites with the sales today. I don't need anything, But that's not the right attitude -- certainly, I can think of something, right?

Yes you can. See what I did just by looking at the Amazon site.

As a side note, MA has an upcoming Sales Tax Holiday (dates are August 28-29, 2021). Fyi: MA sales tax rate is 6.25%.

People who look at the higher priced items (large appliances, etc.) tend to hold out for this one. (Excluded: meals, motor vehicles, utilities, telecommunications, tobacco, drugs (in any form), or any single item priced over $2,500.)

You don't go to the sites because you need something. You go to the sites and let them tell you what you need

Yes, that has been quite common for the past few weeks. It makes me laugh. The best part of a cell phone is that I can hang up without actually picking up. Which is what happens as soon as I see it. I'm not sure what spamming genius came up with that idea. I guess they figured that we would answer because we were curious about who it was. Some probably are... but in spite of being older then dirt, I am not dumber then a bucket of rocks.

I got sneakers at Macy's for 60% off. That was my prime day. Of course, I bought the same pair different sizes. Then see what fits and take one back

Tomorrow it's supposed to be the hottest day of the week. Mid 90s here, so I'll do my best to send it over there. @donaldtoo was supposed to keep it over there, but I think he must have failed.

Seems to not be my department so far this year, as the rest of the country is stealin’ our heat, so they’re guilty of sendin’ it to y’all...!!!!!

@Figgy1 I'm watching In The Heights for the second time and I realized there's a Hamilton Easter egg.

Reindeer is getting bolder, hopping on the back of Rosie by a street -- one of these days the reindeer will be spotted trespassing by a cop cruising by in his patrol car. Remember, every perpetrator makes that one, big final mistake.

Good morning! I am "killing time" at Freehold Raceway Mall (NJ) while my new to me (2020) car has a second key Phob linked. I purchased a slightly pre owned 2020. Mazda CX-9View attachment 565461View attachment 565462

What time of day was that? The mall looks dead. I haven’t been to that mall in over a decade.

We got my husband a Father’s Day card in Spanish. He does not speak Spanish, but I didn’t like any of the ones in English. My oldest dd who took Spanish wrote in the card, “We are notifying you that your cars extended warranty has expired.” He had no idea what it said of course but laughed hysterically when he saw it was in Spanish.

Policeman not cop
He has special permission to do this. Remember , reindeers are better than humans.
