TOTALLY GEEKED!

Our security system is Monster and Spot. Nothing comes near the house without one or both of them going off.

My favorite security system!

Isaiah had different barks that told me who (family/friend, maintenance/delivery person, or stranger) was at the door. His bark sounded like you were about to come face-to-face with a Rottweiler but he was a medium-sized dog.

We have had the police investigating a white van driving around neighborhoods trying to sell jewelry and vacuum cleaners to people. They are not licensed and if the police catch them they will arrest them. There are other suspicions surrounding the van but none proven yet. It was spotted in our neighborhood about a week ago. It keeps on the move so it doesn't get caught. IMO

There's people that go around my area selling jewelry, CDs, DVDs, and perfumes. The perfume people usually get pissed because I won't let them spray crap on me. I'd rather avoid the asthma attack, tyvm!

We also have people that sell homemade tamales and there's usually a guy or two on bikes selling popsicles and snow cones.

The ones I really hate are the guys that troll the parking lots offering to fix dents on the spot. They generally don't take no for an answer. I usually have to get very blunt to get them to go away. Some will follow you and persist in trying to get you to say yes.

We don't get the food vendors here because, in order to sell food, you have to have a license. They will arrest them or write them a ticket asap. Usually they write them a ticket and then if they are caught selling again they get hauled in. Generally the ticket is enough. I know there was a lady on FB here who was always selling tamales. The police told her she had to stop because she didn't have a license. They're pretty strict here. The only ice cream sold is from the legit trucks.

I have an excellent alarm system. Their names are Carlee and Layla. If they don't know you, you don't want to be alone in my house with them.

 You look them dead in the eye, tell them calmly but confidently if they do not walk away immediately,  you will scream rape like a crazy person. 

 

Or ask them their blood type. 

Tell them the mother ship is on its way and they should not be there.

Ask them if they know of a good place to dispose of a body. 

I can think of all kinds of things to make people leave you alone.

I have had no appetite lately. Some days I literally don't eat until I get light headed from low blood sugar. Yesterday I survived on two corn tortillas, four ounces of cashews, and a spoon full of peanut butter.

Lily, very nice.

The only thing I want to buy from people selling on my street is Mr. Softee. He comes between 2:30 and 3:00 every Saturday and Sunday like clockwork.

We get a lot of traffic on our side street in the summer because the public marina is at the end of the street. Boat traffic is supposed to go a different way but since it is easier to go straight, they do. Our street keeps petitioning to get speed bumps too. The cars fly down the road and there are many kids here.

 Please don't scream rape if you aren't actually being raped.

 Do you think a guy just trying to sell you something or a scammer is going to do anything that will draw attention to themselves? 

Just the threat of it will send most guys running away.

 

Nice FWM, but that is a lot of herbs. Do you dry them?

I am watching on demand, The Bachelorette. I do not like this show, but a friend challenged me to watch it. It is as dumb as I expected, I have an hour to suffer.

Yes, now that I don't have to get on my hands and knees, to reach them!

I hope to have fun with this.

I'm telling you, if you've never grown herbs before you have no idea how fast they take over stuff!

I have grown them for years.

In the ground.

My bad, they really will spread.

I'm trying something new, in an attempt, not to have a mess on my hands. 

Thanks so much, for your support.

 It's like yelling fire when there is none.  And if you yell rape and someone comes to help and finds out that you aren't in trouble they might not actually help the next woman they hear yelling rape.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I also didn't realize you had been growing them for so long. I know if I ever grow them again I will put each one in a separate pot.

I liked fresh herbs too. If I ever do it again I'm going to do separate pots so they don't grow together. And I will look into drying them.

Well, if you figure it out let me know! In our old house I didn't plant the onions. People before us did. They were EVERYWHERE. I love onions but when the wind blows it's not exactly the smell you want to smell. KWIM? I've only planted herbs once and it was definitely a learning experience.

I've seen them in little pots at Wal-Mart in the produce section. Often thought about getting a couple of them.
