Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The Badge

 So, the temps are supposed to climb into the mid 70s (F) today.  And no, this is not Indian Summer, for those who are so hotly anticipating that warm spell.  As I've said before, we haven't had one of those fall heat waves in quite a few years.

Yesterday was rather meh.  Some things were accomplished, others were not.  A little sanding and spackling in the soon to be new laundry room.  I did a little work on the window.  It's old and is one of the few windows in the house that has yet to be replaced.  I'm putting a decorative film on the bottom half, the upper window will get a valance.  We sell decorative films, but they're a bit too salty for my taste.  Rather than spend $35, I forked out $12 for one I found on Amazon.

And I do get to go into work today.  It will be interesting to see how many more changes have been done to the flooring department.

As some of you know, I've been trying to start selling my books through Barnes & Noble.  There has been a major problem with my W9.  No matter how many times I've submitted it, their customer service kept coming back and telling me that it wasn't signed.  Yesterday, one of their customer service reps finally specified that they required a hand written signature rather than a typed signature submitted on a PDF.  So, I duly sent them information on the legality of typed signatures on PDF files downloaded from the Federal Government.  Their response:  We require a handwritten signature.  As you might be able to tell, I'm a little miffed.

Yesterday I took a pic of my fall dahlias.  Here it is.


Did anybody watch the Warnock / Walker debate last evening?  I don't watch debates.  No patience.  I have seen a few clips from last nights head to head.  Walker flashing his badge is one of reasons I avoid debates,  Let me be perfectly honest, I laughed loudly.  Another clip I laughed at was when Ralph Reed, a hard right Cracker Jack Crazy from the 90s tried to give his opinion of Walker and the only thing reporters were asking about was that badge.  Ralph got more than a little frustrated.  That was funny as hell.

  1. Rather than being elected to office, Herschel Walker needs to be committed to a facility to deal with his mental illness.

    1. I'm laughing at those sorry Republicans who are trying to claim he won the debate. They are so desperate.

  2. Just keep also selling your books on Amazon. It is so much easier (IMHO) than the others, just click what I want then click Buy Now and it is done. The eBook shows up in my Kindle within seconds and, if I also bought a hard copy it is in my mailbox within 2 days.

    I finished your first book and am half way through the second. I admit I have a warm spot in my heart for Eli and Max but I especially like Cook. When I finish all five (maybe 6 by then) I will let you know who I think should play who in the movie....there is going to be a movie isn't there?

    1. Eli and Max are great. I so much enjoyed writing the bit where Max stitches up the gash on Eli's knee with a needle and thread. I have to tell you that as the series progresses, most readers fall in love with Bobby Tussel.

  3. I watch very few debates...so didn't watch. When two sides can't debate, but sling mud back in forth, instead of speaking about what they will do and the issues...shows how much respect they have for the people they represent. Which is why I am losing respect for most politicians.

    And I love the dahlias!!!

    1. You may find this difficult to believe, but negative campaigning has been around since the beginning, the difference between now and then is TV and the Internet.

      I have fall roses, too. Simply lovely!
