The Scam Continues - with a twist

So as I was promised FedEx delivered a package yesterday not with the $516 that I was charging Carmen but for $3000.

I then got an email from Carmen - I guess it was a mistake and her husband sent the wrong amount. She sincerely apologized and requested that I take what I was owed and send the rest back to her husband.

I said accidents do happen during moves and that I would take out the $616 owed (notice I gave myself an extra $100) and I would send the rest back and at what address should I send the returning money.

Hopefully they think "I'm" trying to scam THEM!!

Your move Carmen!

GHOSTS!

Can a house be haunted if it's only 6 years old?

In yet another bit of strangeness I was getting ready for bed and as I walked into the bathroom I heard water running. I guess the toilet must have just flushed or something, or the little ball thing was stuck....whatever. I flushed, walked out and 10 minutes later I heard water running still. hmmmm toilet is fine . . . . hmmmmm I went into the basement and I heard the water . . .wait a minute . . . that is the pipe that goes outside.

I get my shoes on, grab a flash light and go outside and I see my outside faucet is running and is about 1/3 open - WTF??? I look for any footprints and see nothing. I THINK it was only running for one day? I need CSI Columbus to come and look at this!

Leaker hose wrapped over the faucet.
The ONLY thing I can think of is that the little hose that was draped over the faucet froze in the freezing fog. then since that area is a wind tunnel (normally about 10 to 15 mph stronger then the surrounding area . . I measure it) maybe the wind caught the hose and twisted the faucet???

This goes along with odd streaks of lights in the bedroom, like a car driving by except all of our shades are pulled. Or the fireplace coming on all by itself at night, or the ghost peeing on our rug.

Speaking of water - thanks Doug for the water report but I could not find what I needed.  I believe that report deals with contaminants, pesticides and bacteria while I need Secondary or Aesthetic Standards that have to do with taste and pH.   The principle ions needed are:

Calcium (Ca+2)
Magnesium(Mg+2)
Bicarbonate(HCO3-1)
Sulfate(SO4-2)
Sodium(Na+1)
Chloride(Cl-1)

WOW - one thing you do NOT want to watch just before bedtime is an Amelia Earhart special. They pretty much know exactly where her plane went down. The island is the problem. THE ISLAND FROM HELL!!

Here is the problem - the entire island is alive with billions and billions of land crabs of all sizes. If you are injured in any way of even lay down to sleep the crabs will view you as tasty water and within minutes will be nibbling on your toes, millions of them. It's like a horror movie. They will eat an entire human and scatter the bones in one night!

NOT a good thing to watch just before bedtime. The showed what happens to a dead pig over night. And BTW - Amelia was not a very good pilot in the first place liking fame over training.
--------------------------------------------

Could not get to sleep anyway last night, Blake was pacing for an hour (ghosts?) and my iPad kept whistling to me saying I had an email. This is why my mom does not want email. She does not want to be awaken at night with "YOU'VE GOT MAIL porno". Five years ago I said that was ridicules. You had to log in to see your email. . . . well . . . .not anymore I guess.

So I got up to turn my iPad sound down and looked to see what all the emails were about. Seems all of these forums were wishing me a happy birthday such as the 2+2 poker forum (I'm banned) HAPPY BIRTHDAY (FU 2+2) and the Home Theater Forum (Banned for life, I was innocent - really I was, all I did was disagree with the forum owner . . . you know me . . I never complain about things . . BANNED FOR LIFE) . . . and the Home Brew forum and a few others that I'm not banned from.

-----------------------

Prince Fielder - wow 216 million, slightly less per year then Pujols! One thing to watch is the difference between Miller Park and Comerica Park. Both are above average when it comes to home runs but for some reason Comerica Park is one of the hardest parks to get walks in while Miller Park is one of the easiest.

Also - at least Prince will get less exorcise being a DH. We will see how he takes not playing in the field every day.

I look forward to the Brewers this next year - they should do well. After all while they lost Fielder the competition lost Pujols! We will also have Greinke all year, "we" will have much better fielding and will have Gomez who I like a lot. Morgon is fun but he is a poor fielder. We won't have Slumpy McGoo either.

Can't wait for spring.

Have a great Wednesday.
