not finding the humor in anything this morning

Jan 10, 2022

Let me begin by telling you my feet are cold. Why? Because I have a black hound that eats socks. Merida doesn’t bother shoes. She does love soft blankets (like my Tommy Bahama throw) and especially socks. Because she’s already 2 years-old, the “puppy behavior” excuse doesn’t work anymore.

As I sit at my computer with freezing feet, I’m also not amused by text messages from email accounts to my phone. Are you getting them too?

One of what I received in the middle of the night was from a phone number — I blocked it. The other two are email to text.

Apple and Android operating systems say it’s your carrier’s fault. Google says they can prevent it if you use their phones or their messaging app on Android phones. (I can’t verify since I’m an Apple girl.)

The problem in turning it off is that some legitimate places use the email to text feature. Like pharmacies telling you a prescription is ready.

If stupid people didn’t interact with this garbage, SPAMMERS would have no reason to continue. Sadly, the world is filled with people who aren’t that bright. (As evidenced by politicians.) 😉

And finally, Perry brought me a bag of truffles. They are amazing — and awful at the same time. Lindor strawberry truffles are awful because I can’t leave them alone… and amazing because they are just that good. He thinks that’s funny, but I’m finding little humor in anything today.

TIL (Today I Learned): Spock’s (Leonard Nimoy) famous Vulcan salute is based on a Jewish prayer ceremony. The V-shaped hand position represents the Hebrew letter “shin” which is a representative letter of the word “Shaddai” — a term for God.
