Table Tango

mainly mine. I have stayed almost completely out of casinos since my last foray in to finalize my retiring from Bellagio’s elite poker dealing crew. I really can’t stand the thought of going into the poker room and hanging out - to play poker or visit. What happened? Is there some post live poker hijinx that opens a black hole in my head when I consider going in and playing live at Bellagio? (more…)

The amazing story continues. I got a check in the mail yesterday for the amount I billed them for my time. But I just got a statement that was mailed out on the 18th of this month telling me that I’m late on payments and owe a late fee. How long does it take this stuff to catch up in updating? Misty, the kind person that has been handling my case, has sent me a follow up that she’s made my account current. But overall, I’m a bit in awe that they paid me. Posting from the iPhone.

A follow up on my correspondence with Countrywide, Misty - from the office of the president - called me yesterday.  A check is being issued for the bill I sent them (incorporated in the registered letter I sent), and should be on its way soon, along with a follow-up letter of all of my correspondence with Misty.  Truthfully?  I never expected them to pay me for my time, let alone actually call me back and follow up.  If anything, I figured to get a ‘I’m sorry’ ending and it would go by the wayside unless I elected to push it further…and I would have.  It is very refreshing.

I won’t have time to do a post today - baby Katie Rae is coming to see granny for a few hours and there are a lot of things still left undone in my life, like my damn taxes. *cracks whip at self*  Glenda and I were exchanging ‘funnies’ that we’ve received in forwarded emails (only ones that we thought were really funny and please don’t start sending me forwards - I HATE THEM) and she sent me this link.  This is really incredible and is worth more than reading a few words from me today.  Go Here - enjoy!

I don’t know why.  The question keeps running through my head, “What is wrong with you?”  The part that should answer, can’t.  I don’t know.  I’ve sworn more in the last 24 hours than I have in six months.  The small things - like a bottle that should easily take its twist off cap in a reverse rotation to reseat the cap, won’t…and I want to go off on a swearing rage over it.  Or I touch something and it falls over, another swearing rage.  (more…)

I got married 38 years ago today…to a liar named Robert Gregory Geenen that claimed he was Irish and was born in Killarney Ireland.  He may be Irish but I found out some years later that he was born in Porterville CA.  Ahhh…young love.  Give me that blindfold, baby, I don’t need anything but you.  (more…)

I believe in complaining to solve issues with companies and product problems/defects. I also believe that when a reasonable course of action has been implemented or a response given, it has to be noted. After all…life can’t be only about bitching or we’d be ugly, old shriveled prunes at the age of 30. So here it is: (more…)
